Feelin' HUGE!

OK so I am ten weeks along....and I know I am not big or fat, but does that mean I cant feel like it?! I feel so big because all of my clothes are getting a little too snug for my taste! I am soooo use to being 120lbs-125lbs that being past that freaks me out. This is just something I am going to have to get use to I suppose. Hope this does not sound snotty or anything, because that's not how I want it to come across!!

BABY!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the first picture of our little bundle! The ultrasound went very well! Baby is looking healthy and is about the size of a gummy bear! The heartbeat was 160 which is average! So everything is all good =) the due date is July 12, 2011 <3

Arizona...what mixed emotions

Well this has been our second time we have visited Arizona in the past few weeks. We went to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. The day before thanksgiving however my grandma passed away. She had been struggling with cancer for about five years now. It was extremely sad, and yet spiritual at the same time, because we know that she is in a better place, but then at the same time someone who I would consider to be one of the best people to grace this earth had to suffer and die (which is so sad because she was the last to deserve such an awful disease.) Anyways, we press forward and keep our chins up. The funeral will be held this coming Monday.
As for the rest of the trip it has been wonderful. Perfect weather, wonderful food, and Eric's bravery during black Friday shopping to get us our first TV! Which is such a funny story: He basically stood in line for four hours in front of Target just waiting in the cold. Then when the doors opened he took off running to find this TV (which was one of ten!). He jumped over shopping carts, and endured crude commentary from other shoppers =) whata  guy!!!

Our Life...

After coming back from Arizona our life has changed in several different ways. The least exciting is that we registered for school...and we both will have alot of work cut out for us. The second thing is, and by far the most exciting thing ever is that...Eric and I are having a baby!

Note that this is not the actual image but very similar to the one that was real!!
So...after I found out I went to the doctor to take another test there just in case, and that came up positive as well. So looks like our lives are gonna change just a little bit (ok a lot a bit). However, we are nothing but excited and can not wait to meet little baby! Now the wait to wether its a boy or a girl...If it is a girl the name will be Addison Ann Peterson, and if its a boy Mason Lamont Peterson.

Relay for life

We went to a relay for life, and we were on a team for my grandma beverly. She has been struggling with cancer for several years, and it has travled pretty much everywhere in here body, and is now in her spinal fluid. She is such a surivor and my hero!
WE had a blast though and are loving being in Arizona for some much needed R&R!

Eric and I <3

That same night I also went to my old high schools homecoming game, with one of my good friends jade!

Our Little Family

Eric and I don't have children of our own yet, but we do have a new addition to our family! Her name is Cheetah. We adopted her from Pet Smart she is 2years old. She is a very sweet cat and loves to be brushed, and has a freakishly loud purr. She is kinda weird though. She likes to pretend like she is going to attack you, and then grabs your hand with both of her paws and puts your hand on the top of her to pet her, she is kinda  demanding in that way. We do love our demanding high maintence cat though!

Our Story

Eric and I both attend BYU-Idaho. We both happened to be in the same housing! We were even in the same FHE group. One day there was a huge group FHE and I was playing fusbol and Eric came up and started to play (cheat). Then he asked if anyone wanted to get a Dr. Pepper with him, no one answered so I said "sure I'll go". So we went and got a drink at the Maverick and then he decided we were gonna go get ice cream. Then we sat and talked for over an hour! Then he got up even more courage to ask me on a date. I said yes, and then later called him back to cancel, because "something came up". I had blown him off for another date. I instantly felt guilty and called him to reschedule, but he had another date. Then he called me back to say ok we will go. Come to find out that he canceled his for me =). So we went on our first date. Me made pizza, and then went out with a group to the corn maze. He basically took me there so that he could hold my hand! Then we kept hanging out from there. We did severally library dates, and after one of them I asked if I could kiss him, and luckily he said "Sure". Then we kept going on from there! We started dating and falling in love! We had to do a long distance relationship for an entire semester! Eric came and visited me two times (best weekends of my life!) Then he picked me up from the airport and it was like we had never left each other! Then about a week or so later Eric had this nice big saturday planned for us! I woke up to flowers on my desk with a note say, "Good morning I made breakfast get up and get ready then come over. I love you." My gracious roommates (who knew what was happening) dolled me up. I went over to a delicious breakfast. Then Eric took me to a nail place in Idaho Falls. He left while I was getting a very nice manicure (which he paid for). Then we went and walked around the mall. Then we went out to dinner at the Olive Garden. Then he took me for a walk by the Falls, and as we walked I saw one single red rose on a rock! Eric went down and picked it up and gave it to me, got down on one knee and said "Amanda I love you so much will you marry me?" Of course by this point in time I was about to ball and I said through my tears, "Yes! OK! SURE!" I then gave him the biggest kiss ever! While all of this was happening our friend Taylor Miller was taking pictures of the entire thing! Then we got married three months later =)
