Jaimee's Baby Shower!

Last Saturday was Jaimee's baby shower. Aunt Karen and I threw the shower for her and had a lot of fun getting things ready for it. There is so much that goes into planning a baby shower that you don't even realize. I also had so much fun shopping for gifts for jaimee's girl, there were so many cute outfits and accessories I just wanted to buy it all!

We had lot of yummy food! My favorite was the yogurt parfaits.

Jaimee got so many cute outfits and accessories for the baby! She only has about 5 weeks left until the baby is finally here! We are all getting really excited to finally have a kid in the family.

I decided to try and make a quilt for Jaimee. This is actually the quilt I was making when the needle went through my finger. I didn't touch the quilt until a week before the shower because I was a little bit scared to sew after that experience.

The Giffith and Moore side of the family... they are such great in laws!

Susan and Hannah were able to come over to Utah for the baby shower. They stayed for the whole weekend and it was fun to spend some time with both of them even though Ryan and I had to work our jobs part of the time.

What we have been up to!

It has been such a long time since i've posted anything. Ryan and I have just been so busy lately with work and school. So, I'll just tell you what exactly we have been up to. Ryan is now working 2 jobs. He works for olive garden still on the weekends and then during the week he works for a company called Premier Mentoring doing sales for them and has really liked working there. It's a pretty laid back job and the people that work on his team are really nice guys. He is planning on quitting at the Olive Garden this weekend though because it's just not very fun to work every day of the week and not have any weekends. Plus he is starting to make pretty good money at his other job... that's why he kept the olive garden job just to make sure we had an income because his new job is all commission.

I am work at Texas Roadhouse as a server, I actually like working there. Although I can't wait till I can get a dental type job. I'm taking my last semester of classes for my pre-reqs to the dental hygiene school. For those of you who knew, I had an interview with a dental hygiene school in November and they said they would let me know if I get into the school within 6 weeks well it ended up taking them 4 months to get back to me so I just found out. The news was that I am an alternative, meaning if someone else backs out for the may starting date then I get the spot. I wasn't too happy about that but I also don't want to pay $50,000 to go to that school when I could pay $10,000 at another school and just wait another year. So my plan is after this semester is to take a year off maybe go to dental assisting school which is only a 10 week program only on Saturdays and then work as a dental assistant till I get into a school.

Some exciting news that happened to me almost 2 weeks ago.... Since I love my brother-in-law so much I agreed to getting my blood drawn for him. I have a life insurance plan through him and if I got my blood drawn then it helped him out a lot. I'm sure most of you know that Needles are my BIGGEST fear! My whole life I've past out from any type of shot especially getting my blood drawn. So, I faced my biggest fear hoping that it would help me overcome it, and it didnt!!! The lady went through my vein because I have "rolling veins" which ended up causing a big bruise. I'll have to admit that it didn't hurt too bad just a hard pinch but the after math was the worst!! Right after she took the needle out my face went pale and I could feel myself about to past out. The next thing I know I am shaking uncontrollably. It was not a fun experience and I hope I don't have to go through it for a long time. I don't know if I'll be able to make it through a pregnancy, yikes that's not a good thing.

I don't no if anyone will even read all of this because there are no pictures but lastly I'll just tell you what we did for Valentine's day (sorry I don't have any pictures) We celebrated Valentine's day on Saturday so that we could go out and do something. Ryan had to work both of his jobs that Saturday from 11 till 6 and then when he got off we went out to eat at the cheese cake factory and then went to go see the movie Valentine's Day, which was a horrible movie no story line at all. All in all it was a good valentine's day I just wish Ryan didn't have to work both of his jobs.

We'll that's it for now and hopefully I'll be posting pictures soon...
