We are having a boy!

So, we had our second ultrasound today (I am so glad that we did), and the we found out that we are having a boy! We are so excited! Just so you know we really like the name Liam Edward Miguel, and we are so glad we don't have to pick a girls name, because we were clueless with girls names. So yippee! Oh, and Roland got into Tufts too! So it has been a really good day!

Our Second Anniversary....The STRATOSPHERE

We celebrated our 2nd anniversary on the 29th and since we were in St. George we decided to take a little trip to Vegas. Roland told me we were either going to lunch at the Stratosphere, the Luxor or the Eiffel tower hotel (we don't know what it is called). We I was hoping we would go the the Stratosphere because I have always wanted to go and that is where we went. It was so cool on top. I didn't know this but when you are eating the tower spins around so you can see all of Vegas. The food was amazing and it was such a fun thing to do to celebrate being married for two years.

The Stratosphere!

Yummy, yummy food!

This is the butter. When they first brought it out we thought it was white chocolate or something, but no, just the butter. It was really cool.

I also wanted to post and say how grateful I am to have such a wonderful husband. It has been two years since we have been married and it feels like we have already spent so much time together. I am grateful to have someone that listens to my worries and concerns and someone that I can laugh with everyday. Our lives are going to change a lot in the coming months, and I am glad that I have my best friend to be there with me through the changes. I love you Roland!

It's a Girl.....maybe

So we went to the doctor's last week to get my first ultasound. It was really cool to see the baby, althought it is kinda in the alien stage at this point. We wanted to find out the gender, but our baby was not in the best position. So the doctor said that he thinks it is a girl, but he could not be sure. There was this little bump and he couldn't tell exactly what it was. So we are telling people that it is a girl...maybe. So really we don't know. I think we are going to get another ultrasound in a couple of months to know for sure. So that is our news, even though it is not really any news. So although we didn't find out, we are really excited for our first baby pictures:)The baby's face. The eyes are HUGE!!!! Some ribs...we think!

Roland got into Dental School!

So last week Roland found out the he got into dental school! He got into Baylor in TX and UNLV in Vegas. So we are really excited. Now he just has to decide where he wants to go.....

Opening the letters!

Thanksgiving

Well this post is going to be sort of boring because we did not take any pictures, but I wanted to share our wonderful Thanksgiving. We went down to St. George to visit Roland's family. It was really fun because some of my siblings and cousins were able to go to. It made for one crowded house, but it was nice to hang out with everyone.
Well to sum up the weekend basically consisted of sleeping, eating a lot and playing lots of sports. Here is a list:
-Football(this is the one that made us the most sore)
-Basketball(this was mostly the boys)
-Volleyball
-Tennis
-Ultimate Frisbee(this was very muddy but very fun)
-Pickle Ball
-Oh, and Wii Sports..couldn't forget that one.

We were a little sore from playing all these sports, but it was very fun. It was also nice
that the weather was agreeable. Thanksgiving day was a little rainy, but the rest of the days were very nice. Lovely St. George. Well hopefully we will have some posts with pictures soon. Hope everyone else had a wonderful thanksgiving!
