An Update/Introduction...

Neil and I kind of have a lot going on it seems.... We got married in February of this year, and we're now expecting our first kid! ...On our anniversary... February is going to be crazy. I'm a little undecided about how I feel about it. I'm crazy excited for our little guy to get here!!! But on the other hand, selfishly I'm a little sad that I'll spend our first anniversary, my birthday, and also Valentines Day (yes, they're all in the same week) either uncomfortable and looking like a balloon, or with a newborn who's only a few days old. Overall, I think I'll decide to just be happy.   :)  We had an ultrasound the other day and confirmed Neil's mom's suspicions, it's a boy!!! He was proud to show it... :) We plan to name him Gage Culver Stephens.

I'm in school full time working to finish pre-requisites to go to chiropractic school. I also work doing catering at a hotel here in town.

Neil was going to school for his paramedic, but after finishing his EMT Basic and Intermediate he's taking a break from school and focusing on building our house!

That's right! We're building a house!  I'm so excited for down the road when it's finally built and ready for us to move into! It'll be about 2,500 sq. ft. and we have a pretty good sized 1/3 acre lot on a cul-de-sac with an AWESOME view. Our neighbors are cool and they all have younger kids that will be around the same age as ours. There's one couple in the neighborhood who's due to have a little boy the same day as us! We're getting to know all the neighbors pretty well because, with the program that we're building through, we all work together to build the homes. There are 8 families in the group including ourselves.

We also have 3 dogs. They're awesome! We have a black female Great Dane named Zoey,  a female Yorkie named Dinky, and a brindle male Great Dane named Diesel. They're all puppies still.

So with taking care of and training the dogs, working, going to school, being pregnant and preparing for a little one, and spending around 40+ hours a week on construction, Neil and I have a lot on our plate between us!
