Happy One year Anniversary Benjamin,

Last year around this time we were married. I am so happy to say this has been the best year of my life.
He has made me so happy is so many different ways I couldn't imagine my life without him.

"I love you means that I accept you for the person that you are and that I do not wish to change you into someone else. It means that I do not expect perfection from you- just as you do not expect it from me. It means that I will love you and stand by you even through the worst of times. It means loving you when you're in a bad mood or too tired to do the things I want to do. It means loving you when you're down- not just when you're fun to be with. I love you means that I know your deepest secrets and do not judge you for them- asking in return only that you do not judge me for mine. It means that I care enough to fight for what we have and that I love enough not to let go. It means thinking of you, dreaming of you, wanting and needing you constantly, and hoping that you feel the same way for me."

A bun in the oven.

Just kind of letting those who follow know, that I'm pregnant. Its a pretty exciting time for us in our lives and cant wait for the little one to be here. I thought since I never write, that I would write the  story about how we found out, not really for you guys but for me to remember.

So we had only been trying for about two months when it happened, i was a little late on my period but I didnt think it was that big of a deal. I had been late the month before, and got my hopes up a little thinking we had gotten pregnant only being off of birth control for one month, but I was wrong. So not wanting to get my hopes up I waited and waited. One night I finally got the courage to take the test and this was our result.

But Ben could not believe this was our result. So his explanation was that this test simply was wrong, and that it only worked in the mornings. Hahaha I thought this was pretty funny but I said okay, well then Ill take one in the morning. This was our second result. 

But Benj could not simply believe this test either. Which lead to my next two tests. Then he started believing me. Its such an amazing experience to know and understand that I will be giving someone life. I am so excited to start this part of my life with my best friend. We really cant wait, but there is also the thought of being scared in my mind. Not because of Benj, I know he will make an amazing dad!! There are so many things to worry about when your pregnant. Things like will i miss carry? Am i giving this baby the best life possible? Is this baby going to be healthy? Ah so many things. Not to mention how much we have to do to get ready for this baby. But I know it will be so worth it. I cant believe I am already 10 weeks pregnant, I feel like we just got married yesterday. We absolutely cannot wait for baby Bryce #1 to come. For my family this will be the 17th grandchild and the 1st for the Bryce family. He/she is due February 5th and we cant wait to meet the little one. 

Sorry!

I havent updated in a while, but to tell you the honest truth nothing exciting is going on. We are still in school, Benj is still working on getting his degree in Exercise Physiology major, and Im still working on getting my Preschool Education major/Child Development major. We are working hard, studying hard, and trying to spend as much time with each other as possible. We are lovings life and loving each other even more.

Benj is 24 today, happy birthday baby cakes!

Its Benj 24 birthday today. I thought I would share 24 reasons why I love this kid soo much.

One. He is always willing to help out around the house, and never complain when i ask him to take out the trash :D
Two. He works hard to support us and pay the bills, even though he sometimes gets discouraged because I bring home more money than him, he is always willing to pick more hours and work hard for his family.
Three. He can take me to the temple and loves the gospel just as much or more than I do.
Four. He is half Asian and I love that his family has a different culture than I'm used to, it opens my eyes on how the world really is, not just how it is in a little bubble town like Rexburg
Five. He loves to travel, which makes it a lot more fun because I love traveling too.
Six. He cares about his family and sisters and is always think about them,
Seven. He does not mind babysitting or changing diapers, and I know he will be an amazing dad someday.
Eight. He is intelligent and does well in school, and is looking to make our future easier by getting a good education.
Nine. He is an early riser, which is awesome because I'm not so at least one of us is happy in the mornings.
Ten: He takes me out on dates on a regular basis and always has something planned up his sleeve.
Eleven. He worries about money. I know that sounds retarded but I dont always worry about it so he helps me so I don't over spend on anything, unimportant or something we don't need.
Twelve. He loves my baking and cooking, I love to bake sweets I just don't like to eat much of them, but he loves them and eats my food even if I experimented that day and it doesn't taste all that good.
Thirteen. He is an amazing cuddler at night while we are falling asleep or in the morning when he wakes up, and when I wake up, I always need my cuddle time with him.
Fourteen. We never run out of things to talk about, but we are okay with silence too.
Fifteen. He loves music just as much as I do, we just have different taste in artists.
Sixteen. He is always willing to allow me to have girl time when i need it even though he doesn't have a ton of guy friend here at BYU- Idaho, (there all in provo for school) 
Seventeen. He is patient with my needs, and understand girls, ( he is the only boy in his family)
Eighteen. He is willing to look at both side of the situation even when I don't want to look at how the other person is feeling or I am one sided.
Nineteen. He is amazing with technology, 
Twenty. He never curses, well sometimes but once every new moon or something. Not that I have a cursing problem but I do do it more often than he does and its a nice reminder not to get so mad.
Twenty one. He is always reminding me to pray and read my scriptures when i forget too.
Twenty two. He listens to my complaining when i have a problem at work at school or at home. I know it gets annoying sometimes. but im thankful for it.
Twenty three. He loves doing service for others.
Twenty Four. He loves me unconditionally and looks past my flaws.

I could name so many more things that i love about him. He is such an amazing person and i dont know what i would do with out him.

I LOVE YOU BENJ!

another post, there are three, and i dont really know what im doing, so uh yeah.

Everyone week Benj and I try going on a date just because even though we knew each other for a full year we really didnt go out on a lot of dates. We mainly hung out in group settings until April of last year and then we started dating, its a good way to keep making sure you really know your spouse and to just really make time for each other. This week we invited some friends of ours to join in with us and do a double date, we made sloppy joes and stuck the meat in a crock pot on low so it wouldn't burn, and headed up to Green Canyon, this is where we took dinner up with us plugged it in on a table and went swimming, it was such a fun time!

I've been behind on my blogging, mostly because we have a pretty plain life. Three posts in a row, Keep reading.

Post number two. Three Days Grace Concert

Three Days Grace, has been one of my favorite bands, since high school, and when a friend of mine had mentioned told me they were coming to the Idaho Falls area I had to get tickets. So for my birthday i bought her an extra ticket. It was a pretty amazing concert, the band that sung before them was My Darkest Days and they were awesome.

This was right before the concert you can see how excited we were of this concert.

Anyways here are the rest of the pictures from the concert.

Also we stood in line for like a billon hours, just kidding, like three though, everyone was so excited that the line was super long when we got there and there were still three hours before the concert started.

Post number one. Boise 

A couple of weeks ago we went to Boise to visit my sister and her family. It was a fun little vacation, we love spending time with my sister because their family is so easy going.

We were there during St. Patrick's day, kiera made an awesome dinner, we had green pancakes, green eggs, and bacon. It we so yummy.

While we were there we did a ton of things...
Shopping

Kambri tryin on hats, such a cute little girl.

We did lots of playing with the little kids. While we were there we slept on an air mattress, and the kids loved playing dont touch the ground, because as Kambri put it the floor was lava.

They also loved Jumping on uncle Ben.

We did so many other things like going to eat at a sushi, and an awesome Mexican restaurant.
We loved visiting and hope to come back soon!!!
