A month has passed....

It has been basically a month since my last post! There really isn't much to talk about though. I don't think we have the most exciting life - but that's the way I like it. :) Doesn't make for very exciting blog updates though!!

I had my birthday yesterday, I am officially no longer a teenager! Though I think I have been 'not' a teenager for quite some time now. But, I am 20 years old now. Kyle got me a clock that has pictures of a bird at each hour, and when ever it strikes an hour, it makes a birdy noise. :) I didn't do a very good job of explaining that, but you get the idea! I really love birds. I need to get batteries for it and then we can hang it up and hear sweet birdie tweets all day!

Things have been kind of stressful at work for Kyle lately. I wont go into much details here, but we are both ready for him to be out of the USMC. He hasn't been getting home until 8pm almost every night, I miss him. His application for UofC is in the process of getting reviewed so we should hear from them 'soon', as they like to say.

My pregnancy has been going well! We heard the babies heart beat again the other day, and he/she is doing great. My next appointment isn't until Feb 28th, which seems like forever! But after that appointment, our next one will be an ultra sound, where I think we will be able to find out our babies gender. Exciting!

So, a little while ago one Sunday, my mom had told me that the Bishop of their ward in Calgary has challenged everyone to read the Book Of Mormon in 85 days. Since our bishop down here doesn't seem to realize we are alive, despite our best efforts mind you, and therefor I don't believe anything like this will happen down here, I have decided to take my Canadian Bishop's challenge. I hope I am not exempt from the miracles that he promised would occur in the lives of those who participate! I was reading a friend's blog who is participating and she was talking about blessings that have already occurred since she has started her reading, and hey, everybody could use some blessings every now and then, so I will give it a shot! I try to read scriptures every day, or at least one little scripture 'encouraging word' type thing....but I will do better, and finish the Book Of Mormon in 85 days :)
