Well, we're having a girl. We still aren't for sure on a name. We like Jean, but we don't know what to do for a middle name. We also like Courtney Lynn (no crazy nickname for you mom). But you'll have to stay tuned to find out! And I don't know how to get the ultrasound pictures uploaded, but they'll be up asap

I felt my first braxton-hicks today. Either that or I'm starting my period, you decide. Devin and I finally got all our stuff into the Guesthouse apartment, and we're now working on getting it all put away. I got a 70 cent raise at work for enrollment training, WOO-HOO!!! I'm working two hours more than Devin a day, and it's just now with this raise that I'm making more than him. HE speaks spanish so he's apparently worth more. Pff, I should be payed on how darn cute I am. Devin is still pulling out all A's, even after midterms. I don't know where I am, I've only been in class a week so we'll see how that goes.

I am starting school this week! I have a Book of Mormon class, a D&C class, and a principles of BYU-I class of something, just enough credits for financial aid :) Then I have training this week at work to do enrollments, which means I'll make $7.70 an hour. That means I can work the same and make 10% more!!!!! The job at the Guesthouse is much better now that we know and can talk to the other employees. And now that we know what we're doing. That's always helpful. And on Friday, I think I felt my baby for the first time. I kind of hope not though, because I haven't felt it as vigorously since. It is about time though.

Just wanted to let you all know, I have a new calling! Today is my second sunday as the newest nursery leader (Single's Ward anyone?)! It's really fun though, we have lots of cute little kids. IT'll be the perfect mommy practice! Also, Devin and I were both invited to our work MVP banquet. That means we were in the top 10% of our department, english for me and spanish/language for Devin. We're so good it's scary!

We finally moved into the Guesthouse, and needless to say, it's not all it was cracked up to be. The Olivers, who lived there before us, were allowed to eat the breakfast, use the hotel room connected to their apartment, and they had internet. We have to sit in a storage closet to get internet, we can't even look at the breakfast bar (ok, I may be exaggerating), and they are sealing off the door to to what's supposed to be our hotel room. Plus our manager is crazy, but that's ok. We're planning on staying until April, just for the sake of saving money. Devin is now the Elder's Quorum secretary, and I am in.....NURSERY!!!!!!!! Woo-hoo! I can hardly wait.

Well, I have some great new pictures. Some are of our baby carseat. It's alot more real now that we have something FOR said baby. Also, I am starting to show, so I have pics of that. Unfortunately, the waistband of my shorts is in the same place where my top and bottom garments overlap, PLUS I'm wearing a thick shirt, so you can't really tell. But it's there.

Yesterday was stake conference, and we got a new stake presidency. Elder Scott was there to do the honors with Elder Teschera(?) of the First Quorum of the Seventy. Devin and I even got to shake elder Teschera's hand! Whoop-whoop! School started today. Because of a flop in my work schedule, I won't be going to school until block 2, so my days are pretty relaxed; I just clean, work, and sleep!

Well, this is Devin and me on our wedding day, the 9th of February 2008. And now, six months later, we are just eight months away from a little baby! This week the morning sickness was really kicking me in the rear end, and I threw up four times this week! We also decided against moving into town and will remain in our lovely family ward in Saint Anthony, Idaho. With gas prices starting to go down, it will be cheaper to stay out here with the ward we've grown to love. We have a few names picked out for our baby, bruce or logan for a boy, and Jean for a girl. And yes, they are ALL alter egos of a superhero. Pretty cool, eh?

A couple of weeks ago, a new couple moved into our ward in St. Anthony. They are John Mark and Wendy Draper. We've had them over to the apartment a few times for Family Home Evening and also just to visit. We also visited them for dinner and FHE. They are a cute couple from the east coast, and they are so much fun to visit! Life has been well for Devin and me. We're both working at Melaleuca taking orders over the phone. I scored 100% on my last monitoring test, so I'm very excited for that. Devin and I fill our spare time taking walks through the entire city, which isn't hard; we've done it a couple of times now! It's nice to be in a small town though. We are working on a committee with three other couples on a float for Pioneer day. Pioneer day is July 24th, and it celebrates the day the pioneers entered Salt Lake Valley. Our float is supposed to go with the theme "In God we Trust". It will be decorated with pictures of national monuments, and people will act out the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It's kind of cool, and very unique. Devin got over what may have been a bad case of the flu. It hit out of no where! He was achy and tired, and he slept for ten to twelve hours every night! Poor little baby. He's doing much better now. We're having a great time being married and just enjoying life! Tomorrow will mark the four month anniversery of being married.

1 Month In

Devin and I have married for over a month now, and life is still exciting. Devin went in today (21 March) with back pains. Turns out he has a kidney stone. That is probably the most excitement we've had. I also had two interviews to work at Melaleuca, Inc., and I hope it turns out. I won't hear back from them until next week, so pray for me! We have no plans to vacation this summer; we will miss our familes very much, but you are more than welcome to come visit us!

Life with Devin

Well, on the ninth of february 2008 I was married to the love of my life, Devin Tartini. We were married in Spokane, WA and had quite an adventure travelling so much during school. We live in St. Anthony, ID, just twenty minutes out of Rexburg. Our apartment building looks like a brothel! The inside's nice though. I'll try and have some pics up soon. I love Devin so much. He always tells me he loves me, he works insane hours to support us, he's handsome, and he's a priesthood holding return missionary. We're having a fun time being married and are glad to have you in our life!
