The News of a Life Time

Now that everyone can see the pictures from our wedding we have to really up date or life. Mitch and I have been Living in Collinston Utah for just about nine months. It is Nice and small the people are very kind and the ward there is great. Mitch is now working for T&L telecommunications and LOVES it he is working with his cousins Nate and Courtney and they are great guys. Not much really goes on around here but we do have one bit of great and very surprising news. WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!! we found out on February 2nd Yes it is a surprise to us two but sometimes surprises are the best . We just found out last week that it will be a little girl the first girl on the Hawkes side of the family poor girl she will have three older cousins Terry Charley and Trevy. She will also be the first girl on the Nielsen side in fact she will be the first baby on the Nielsen side. Everyone is excited but i think Mitch is the most excited, Not so much that it is a girl but he wants to be a daddy so much it is funny and he will be a great one too. We have already gotten some things for her like the car seat and stroller, diapers wipes, a teddy bear (because all kids should have one) and now we have pink cloths YAY!!! this baby shopping can be addicting. Mitch love it. For all you women out there there is not many men that like to go shopping and any of you that know Mitch you will know that he is not a shopper he is the get in get what you need and get out. but Baby shopping has been very different! He loves it! in fact he will ask if we can go. It is great and he could do it all day it has been really fun to watch him. Right now I am 18 weeks along and can still fit into my own pants I think that is great. In fact i think up until last week my boss was not sure if i was kidding or not about being pregnant. Now i am showing a little but not much. Yes I know i am counting it as a blessing. The baby's due date is August 23rd and it is coming faster than i thought it would so far anyway we will see how the last half goes.

WEDDING PICTURES!!!!

Our wedding day was amazing. It was truly great. All of the help

we got from family and friends was very much appreciated and I still almost a year have not thanked anyone enough for what they did. We got married at the Maddox Lodge In perry Utah, it was amazing my sisters did all of the flowers for it the night before and set up that morning and i have never seen anything more beautiful. The employees were great. The only problems we had there was the microphone was not working so it was hard to hear my grandpa give the prayer from where my dad and I were standing. Also they forgot to come down to my dressing room and get me when the ceremony was suppose to star so one of the employees ran down the stairs out of breath grabbed me and apologised the entire way up. I just laughed and I think she was happy that i was not mad about it because she was most definitely nervous when she walked in the door and had to tell me "I'm so sorry i forgot you were still down here its my fault but we have to hurry we are late can you run in those shoes?". Another problem we had that day was lack of communication between Mitch and myself. We went to leave the wedding and go get our bags for the honey moon then go to the reception when we found that nether of us even drove to the wedding my car was at Mandy's and Mitch's truck was at Dave's hiding out so that no one decorated it so we had to drive away with Sham and Dave( Mitch's Brother and Sister in Law. Other than those three things those are the only problems we had that day it was great!!!

I know I have been a REALLY big slacker on our blog

Now that we have been married just about a year here
