Another Package

After finding my last post, which was written in January and not published until May, I figured I needed to get back on the blog!

Many things have changed since I last wrote. My resolutions of getting lean this 20-14 went out the window fast, as I found out I am once again pregnant! Although this news brought an emotional roller coaster for both Kevin and I, we now are only elated. Having done the tests needed and having had "professional" ultrasounds, the doctors have told us that this little one will be joining our family here on Earth! The 20 week ultrasound got rid of a lot of fears, although I'd be lying if I said I don't have any more.

And in case you haven't heard, we are having yet another BOY!!! I knew it was a boy beforehand, yet again (mother senses), but this really throws off the fictional family picture I always envisioned growing up. I always saw myself with a bunch of girls like my mom, but it seems my actual family has two boys leading the way! I don't know how to raise a boy. I'll admit it right here. But as long as Kevin is there to help me, I'm more than willing to try my hand at it! I can't wait to see this little guy, and I know I'm not the only one. I've been told by several nieces as well as my sisters, that they CANNOT wait until I have my baby. Haha. Looks like he's already famous. I guess that's what he gets when he has such an amazing big brother like Eden.

The school semester ended finally. I didn't know whether to wish to be done or wish it to never-end. However, my stress level was becoming rather crazy, so it just had to end. The year I had waited for since coming to BYU is over. The year Savannah and I would be together going to school. We had a blast. I had forgot how nice it is to have a girlfriend to hang out with all the time, especially a sister. I miss her and already know she will be an awesome missionary to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (yes, we're Mormons). She got her mission call to Santa Rosa, CA - Spanish speaking! She will serve for 18 months, goodness I'm gonna miss her!! She will come home to another member of the family (baby #2) as well as being able to whisper Spanish secrets with Kevin.

Kevin has been working hard. Since I stopped working, he has done a fantastic job at providing for this little family at home. We are now in Redmond, WA for his Microsoft internship again. Although the living quarters are darker and definitely not my ideal, Washington is as beautiful as ever. Kevin is on a new team in the Skype division and, from what I can tell, likes what he is doing so far. Love that man of mine!

A week before coming out, we got to visit my family again! They are all growing up too fast. Never. enough. time. They are my best friends and I love them soooo much! Next time I see them, I will be holding a baby! How's that for crazy?! Kevin and I had fun with each and every one of them... we both already miss them.

Sarvey Family is ready for this little BOY to join the family! 

Gonna Be Lean this 2014!

Here's to another New Year! School naturally took its toll last semester, and our posting became nonexistent. So yay for another fresh start!

Currently, I've been super absorbed in the photography program. I never really left the darkroom last semester, and this semester looks like it's going to be the studio. I'm ok with that though, as I am learning a ton. I now consider myself a photoshop wizard (soon to be guru), and I know one or two things about film. This semester I conquer lighting. Should be fun!

Kevin has been really working hard in that major of his as well. He spends long hours on the computer both at home and at work. Luckily for me, he always tries to get his work done in a timely manner so he can spend the rest of the time with me. He's now a part time student! Which means he's so close to being a graduate!! One more year!!

Meanwhile, both of us have been having fun YOLO-ing it up. We hang with my sister, Savy, almost everyday and whether we are watching Arrow or out on an adventure, we have fun! :)

Snow Castle Adventure
Thanksgiving was spent at the Sarvey's this year! It was so wonderful to be with family again, there's really never enough time to give when it comes to family!

Christmas was spent at the Hinton's this year! The same can be said there as well, there just is never enough time! We are so blessed to have such amazing families on both sides!

With the coming of the New Year, Kevin and I decided that we would make some resolutions. We have some things in our lives that we really felt needed to change, so we took the first step in doing so. Kevin is now working out everyday, and eating healthier. While I... eat what I cook, which is healthier because Kevin wants it to be. We both read our scriptures actively, as we now have a goal to finish certain books in a time frame. So far, Kevin has kept his resolutions very well and I am still working on them! This year has been a great one already!
