Im thankful for the gospel & more
I had a wonderful Thanksgiving last week. My husband and I were both off and we got the entire weekend to relax and see each other all the time. I'm so happy he got Thursday and Friday so we could spend lots of time with our family. On Thanksgiving morning Chris played football and I stayed home and slept in. I also picked up the house and did some cleaning. By the time Chris made it home we got ready for dinner at 1pm, (now dinner at one is a bit early for me specially since I'm Mexican and we're used to eating at 7 or 8 ish.) But we got there at around noon to help set up and by lending extra hands.
FOOD WAS SO GOOD. I loved the Turkey and mashed potatoes, then for dessert I had some homemade apple pie. It was a perfect afternoon with my Rudd family. They were even nice enough to let my small family come- my dad and sister.(MOm was working :( )
We were there until about six or seven and then we went to my parents and had dinner number two.

LABOR DAY OFF!
Labor day was a blast for me.
Why?
I caught up on my sleep and I got to stay home half the day. That hasn't happened for a month.
:)
I got to read lots and lots of pages in my pregnancy book and I love it. My bestttest best friend Candice let me borrow the book "What to expect when youre expecting" and I am learning tons. I am learning that there's so many rules to pregnancy. TOO MANY IF you ask me. I cant have medicine, lots of foods I like-TUNA, and I cant be as active as I once was. Ill still try to be active but defidently not pushing myself to any point of fatigue. There are so many rules, that Ive never heard of.
I finally finished some business cards for a client I have so that I could help her with her business. They turned out GREAT and she loved them. Finally all those photoshop and tons of photography classes are paying off. She payed me and I ordered them so she'll get them in about a week. Im excited to see what they look like in person.
Then I went to Target. I searched around the clothes and tried some on. I found some cute things but I didnt want to spend any money because I need to save and not spend. But once I make some more business on the side I will buy myself a cutedress for church that I can wear throughtout the pregnancy. I bought a couple nic-nacs but nothing special.
Once I got home my baby was home and I had to finish translating a paper for a friend. Thats right Ill occassionally do that on the side as well. SO let me know when you need me. As soon as I finished we went to my parents and to Chris parents for dinner. I had menudo at my family's and chris ate hamburgers/hot dogs at his. I still ate some watermelon dont worry.
I felt bad but nothing at my inlaws looked good. Like I've been telling you my appetitte has been very lazy and its hard for me to find something I want to eat. So I ate what i could. We stayed for a few hours and talked. I was playing with my cute niece ZOlie, she is sooooo adorable!! She just loves to play with my phone and play with me. I would lay down on the couch and she'd follow me. She cracks me up.
That was our Labor day, not too exciting but perfect. I had a good day and I still accomplished much although I got the rest i deserved.
I am thankful for the work we have and am also grateful for school. I am very excited to graduate either in dec or may.. dont know yet but I will.
Hope everyone had a good week and day off.

Five days off!
Yep thats right the last five days I've had off! It has been amazing. I love how much time I've been able to spend with my family. And most of all with my husband. It's so relaxing and I have loved trying to be productive as a house wife and all.
Heres the over view of what occured this weekend.
Thursday- I didnt plan on not working this day but thanks to the technical problems SRP was having most of the city of MESA didnt have electricity so therefore I didn't work. Which has its pros and cons. I was able to go visit my family and go swim in my parents pool. I worked out for two hours and had a blast. Finished and then went to Costco to get a surprise gift for my baby. :) I did lots on this day and it got way better once my husband got off later that night.
Friday- Went to work some more on the shed! I try and help Chris but im not very good at construction of any kind but I do what I can. Then I went swimming with one of my best friends Candice! We had fun and hung out for like an hour or two. Then, I went over to my friends to go take some photographs of her and I am going to post them real soon! We had a blast and I stayed and visited with them for a while. After that I started heading home, come to find out MY DOGS HAD GOTTEN OUT. So i was worried and i thought I had lost them for sure. Im happy to report that it didnt happen like that. My awesome roomate Courtney put them inside but I was still missing my puppy MAC, well then I leashed up Princessa and Buddy and we started looking for baby MAC. As soon as I started walking down the street (Keep in mind that it is now arou 10:45 Pm ) I am exhausted and worried. Then I started yelling his name and the neighbor had kept him for us ! What sweet neighbors we have. I was soo happy and relieved. Just for their act of kindness I went and bought them a 10$ wally card because of their good deed. I was super happy to know we live by good people.
Saturday- Went and stayed most of the day at the INLAWS :) Chris had to finish his project so I had to go and see how I could be of help. It is looking soo good and it's really close to being fninsihed. I also got to play with my adorable niece Zolie. She's so precious and is starting to talk so much more. It melts my heart when she says PERLA in her cute little voice. Shes so much fun, and I got to play with her for a couple hours. We got really dirty playing in the wet sand. Ha ha But at least we were entertained. At around 5 ish I left to go to my moms swim party! WOoo hoo she had a couple friends and their families over to party. SO right away I jumped in and cooled off. About a half an hour later my husband came to surprise me. I seriously thought he was going to be at his parents the rest of the day. (He had done that last weekend) Once I got out we had some BOMB MEXICAN tacos! Its called Birria and its one of my favorite foods of all time. We ate so much that we had to post pone our hot date. :( Kind of sad but we were both super tired and full. We watched some TV, cleaned up and got ready for bed. We ended up sleeping at around 10:30! lol I know thats way too early for a Saturday but we both needed it.
Sunday- Chris was not feeling too great after working again in the 120 degree weather for 12 hours. I can tell he's not used to it. MY poor baby. We made started preparing some delicious sweet pork for din din, and you know how that takes about 8 hours on the crock pot. We just hung out at the house and worked on a few things and then went and had left overs with my family. SOme bomb Birria taquitos. YUM! We went back home and relaxed. We saw tv and had a good family night. It was such a nice evening I had my husband next to me what else do I need?
MONDAY- FOURTH OF JULY!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a rough night sleeping. Sucked so bad. So when Chris left at around 445 am I was wide awake. I decided to do something to make me tired. So I went outside and started doing yard work. Half an hour out there and I was ready to go back inside. I had some yummy breakfast and then drifted off into a sleep finally. Woke up and the bestie- COURTNEY and I talked and hung out for a little bit. We bonded and then we decided we wanted to make some bannana bread. YUM! It was delicious. Then I was downloading music doing things around the house and next thing I know its about 130. Chris called me to tell me he was getting off a little early so I went and started getting ready. As soon as he got home we had lunch and went to .. Yup you guessed it- to work on the shed. LOL It was hot but it feels so good that it's so close to being done. I promise you'll see the almost finished product sometime this week. We left about six to go to my parents house :) We had some delicious mexican food for dinner to celebrate the Fourth. Ha ha .. Truth be told Im not a big fan of hamburgers and hot dogs. I mean I dont hate it but its not my favorite. We swam first and it was awesome! Just my hubby and I went in the pool and got to relax. The rest of the night consisted of good times. We bought tons of fireworks and we fired them away. It was sweeeettt! Ive never shot off so many fireworks. Then we ran out and everyone pitched in for us to buy some more. We met up with my inlaws so we could do the fireworks with them. It was lots of fun and I must say this was one of the greatest 4th of Julys that I've ever had.
Hope yours was awesome too!

Four day weekend. YES!
I am kind of sad that my four day weekend came to and end today. BOOO!!! I feel like it got off to a very slow start and then it was over in a flash. It started off super slow because I was sick all day Friday, but anyways here is an overview of our wonderful weekend with the Rudds :)
Friday- I got to stay home all day and relax. Do you know how often this happens? Hardly ever. The reason why I couldnt go anywhere was because I wasn't even well enough to drive after I was at my parents celebrating my sisters graduation. I asked Chris to pick me up from my parents so I wouldn't have to drive. So that's how I was left carless all day!! I got to sleep in, play with the doggies, watch movies, edit pictures, relax, and visit with our roomate. It was a very relaxing day, so relaxing it got a little boring for me. Then, after 10 grusome hours of not seeing my baby I finally saw him and we got to watch a little TV and headed off to bed.
Saturday- We got up pretty early to meet Ali & Andrew to take some cute pictures of them. We had so much fun with them down at Tempe Town Lake- ( which by the way I am still working on the pictures but I should be done with them soon.) I WAS SO EXCITED that my hubby was able to go with me because it makes me feel so good when I have him by my side. It makes me so happy and proud to have him by my side. Another great thing about taking him was that I made him take a couple pictures with me - courtesy of the fabulous Ali Bowler! I was so happy and although the weather is getting a little warm we managed to survive the photo shoot. I'm so excited to give her the pictures because they turned out super cute. After that we went and got Burritos and then went grocery shopping. Chris and I saved tons of money by shopping with coupons and looking out for good sales and watched the price drop from $160 to $50. I dont know about you but that makes me feel good about our shopping. Then, my hubby and I took a NICE LITTLE NAP. Ha ha we both have been having a rough week so we got to just relax for a few hours- which I was kind of hesitant to because I wanted to go swimming and do lots of things since I finally got my energy back. But my hubby insisted that we just relax because he was very tired. Ha ha he cracks me up sometimes because he's little my little boy. LOL and I mean that in the nicest way I really do. After we woke up we watched a movie and then started getting ready so that we could go to our friends receptions. One was Gator & Heather and the other was Elba & Josh. We only stopped by Gators for a little since theirs was almost over, and we stayed like three hours at Josh's. And it was sooooo much fun. They had great music, food, and people. You can't go wrong when you have all three. Another great thing happened on this night. My hubby danced with me to a couple songs !!! It was so nice to finally dance with him again besides our wedding night. Finally, after the wedding we got to go home and sleep.
Sunday- I brought my husband breakfast in bed. I know arent I so romantic. Hahaha then I had to start getting ready for church and go do our calling. It was a nice church day because we only had four children in nursery. It was quiet and time went a little bit slower than usual. Chris tried teaching the lesson but the little ones kept getting distracted and running around so we just showed them pictures and talked about the temple. It was cute. I love our little kids and I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful calling to be able to teach these young spirits. We did some singing as well since our singing lady hardly ever comes :( and I realized I really need to learn the primary songs so I can sing it to them. Then, we left church and we pretty much got to relax and chill for the rest of the day.
Monday- The husband worked :( so I had to keep myself busy while I was away from him. I went to Zumba tone in the morning and then went to Ross to look around. I couldn't find anything cute and that made me kind of sad because I just wanted one cute shirt or dress. Then, I went to a friends house because she invited me to a bbq pool party. I had a lot of fun with my friends and I got to go in the water for a little. I also got to hold my friends baby and splash and play with her. It was a good time. After that I headed home to see my love. We then decided to go over to my parents because they invited us to a carne asada pool party! Yes I love to go swimming specially on hot summer days. We had a good time and ate some delicious food. We got to catch up with my parents and relax. We left a little early so that Chris could go to bed on time since he has to get up really early on Monday and Tuesday. And you can ask Chris I am so bad at going to bed on time. HA HA sorrryy! I just love to stay up late and going swimming yesterday actually ended up going in Chris favor because I crashed out on the couch around nine and then we went to bed since we were both exhausted.
Yup we had a good weekend. We had a lot of fun activities and got to see a lot of each other. Life is good right now!
I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday weekend because we sure did.

Way over due, but I want to post it
Easter Sunday consisted of going to church and being with both our
families. We had so much visiting both sides.
First, we went to a big family dinner with the Rudd family and
we had some delicious food! Then, our nephews and niece
went on an Easter egg hunt. I just took about a million pictures
to capture their cuteness.
After that we had some dessert and talked for a little while.
Then, we went to my parents and visited and while Chris took a
nap my sister and I watched TV. We had a pretty good time and
finished the evening off with watching a movie that I don't even
remember because I fell asleep too. Ha ha it was an action
movie that's all I remember dozing away from.
I am happy that we had such a good time with both sides.
I love my families.
They are my world.
I love living oly ten minutes away from them, aren't they
beautiful?
PS NO ONE IS EVER TOO OLD FOR EASTER BASKETS
Love,
