The Crazy Lives of Newlyweds

I have a feeling something POSITIVE is about to happen. . . .

and it sure did! It's a positive ladies and gents! Baby Severts is coming September 2012. We are so excited and can't believe it. It was a pleasant surprise. Here's the story. . without going into too much detail:) After talking with Sean one evening, he jokingly put an embarrassing post on facebook asking people if he should be worried that I had not had a ~~period~~ in 50 days. He did quickly delete it but a few people saw it and i was mortified he said the "p" word on facebook. A few days later still nothing, so i seriously started to question. . . could i be? is this possible? and so on. Sean was working late at the Jazz game, but i couldn't wait i needed to know right then. I took the test then started doing other things because i knew it was going to be negative anyways. I few minutes later i took a glance and saw those two pink lines. . . i could not believe it! I think i paced our apartment at least 100 times and couldn't wait for Sean to get home. I looked up on the computer about how far along i could be and it said i was just over 6 weeks. When Sean got home i didn't say anything. i knew he would go straight to the computer so i left the test by it had the website i was on pulled up. He was like why is this stuff on here? I could tell when it finally clicked, his eyes got so big. He was shocked but completely happy! We can't wait to meet him, 10 weeks left:)

He didn't believe me so i had to take another one that was a little bit more CLEAR:)

-Cravings: spaghettios (gross i know) cheesecake (ate it every single night on the cruise) chocolate dipped ice cream bar from costco, cereal of any kind, and the most recent: ice (refer back to sonic comment)

WE MOVED. . . . in January!

That's right, we moved again! Three times in a year and a half, I say we're on a roll! We live in Midvale now in a cute little condo! We love the location, close to Sean's school, my work, and In and Out:) What could be better? Maybe a sonic so i could get a large cup of ice to munch on everyday . . . mmmm mmmm! (I'll explain later) The ward is great, Sean just got called to be the Stake Webelos leader. He hasn't done any activities yet but can't wait to. Here are some pics of the place, we love it!

Oh i forgot to mention we refinished our dresser and nightstand right before we moved. We bought these babies right before we got married at DI for like 60 bucks. We sanded them, stained them, and put new knobs on. And when i say "we" i mean Sean. I tried to help but apparently i wasn't doing it right.:) Here's the before and after:

Holly Jolly Christmas

This year we spent Christmas with my family and it was so much fun! Christmas is always a good time/party at the Ross household! I love the traditions we have. A couple days before Christmas Eve all the girls get together at my aunt's house to make cookies. I wasn't able to do it this year because of work:( but maybe it was a good thing because i tend to eat a lot of the dough mmmm! On Christmas Eve we have a yummy dinner. I think i went back to get more food at least 8 times . . . After dinner is my favorite, my grandpa always shares a Christmas story to remind us of the true meaning of Christmas. This year he talked about gratitude and charity. Definitely a good reminder of the things my family has and to be grateful for it. Christmas Eve is where we open pretty much all our presents from my grandparents, cousins, spouse ect. makes for a fun night. On christmas morning we get to see what Santa brought us, i like it because nothing is wrapped its all placed in our little sections. Sean and I got a new luggage set, i got sweats, boots, a cook book, and lotion. Sean got a huge tool set. It was so fun to have my family in town, i don't get to see them very much. Here's some pics of the holiday, Thanks Mal for taking all the pictures! (Fun to see her too, she lives in New York with my sister. Last time i saw her was last Christmas)
