At least i don't have to put on pants!

Well, it's been another. . . amount of time since we've last posted a blog. Things here are going well. Jessie was a little sick over the weekend, and we were worried it might be affecting the baby. So, we had another visit to the doctor to make sure things were alright. Appears things are going alright, but when they confirmed it, they let us listen to the baby's heartbeat again. this time was much easier to hear than the first time. Jessie said she didn't think it was gas this time. Turns out the problem was our water tastes bad, or something. Those of you in Provo, you'd understand (it's nasty stuff). We bought a water filter so Jessie could drink more healthy water & about a day later, she already was feeling better.
We're living life as best we can. We're excited for the beginning of April to come along, because within that first week, we'll get our paycheck, should be getting our tax return, have a mission reunion, Brett and Cory will be by to visit (which is always a blast), and go to Saturday Morning's session of General Conference!!! We lucked out and got 2 tickets, down on the ground floor, in the back left corner facing away from the pulpit. See if you can see us singing the rest hymn on TV or something. Anyway, we're super excited about that. And, hopefully, we'll also get to see one of my old mission companions Chris Bergevin and his new fiancee! That should be fun, too.
Rhett's been having extended training at APX this past week, and he's been having lots of fun despite the extra 2 hours he's been working each day. They've been buying lunch each day and it's been in the APX training warehouse in Utah, where they have Rock Band on X-Box, ping pong tables, Foosball, and all the cans of pop you can drink. Plus, it's been fun learning more about all the equipment and finally understanding WHY you have to do things one way or another, and ways you can customize the alarm systems to do things like turn on your lights or open your garage door. The trainer came in from Arizona, he's from Honeywell. He's a really cool guy, and it's been lots of fun. Almost reminds me of when i first trained for being a tech with Jon and Brett, and we'd learn lots, but spend just about as much time playing pool or something. Aw, memories.
Jessie's finishing up one of her projects in Clothing Construction. She's making me a Sunday shirt, and its looking good. I'm excited to wear it. Jessie wants to burn it when it's done, because it's been quite a frustrating project for her, but i think it's turning out really good. I think it's awesome the things she can do.
Um, what else. . . We made Infanger Nachos for dinner 2 nights ago, and we're just now finishing them off today. Good eating there.
In a few weeks, school will be finishing it's winter semester and going into spring/summer terms. That means different classes for Jessie, and more work hours for me when the summer program starts up. More money!!!
Today started the 2ND trimester for Jessie. We need to take a picture of her so we can compare the growth she's gonna start having very fast (so we're told). I think Jessie's gonna keep looking beautiful, no matter what she thinks when she's concerned about her appearance during the pregnancy. She's a perma-cutie, i think.
Oxygen needs Chuck Norris to live.
yeah
later y'all. Keep in touch, if you can. Thanks for your prayers and support. We love and miss you all.

It's been a little while since i last blogged. Sorry. Things have been a bit hectic lately. I've been trying hard to catch up on work that i missed when i was sick, and now things are kinda slowing back down to where i can claim it's a steady schedule.
So, we've been living our lives. Jessie has been studying hard at school, having a new test basically every week. I've been working, just as usual. Some days work is dragging, and some days it's zoomed by fast. I guess that's how life is sometimes.
It's surprising, but Jessie's now on her 11th week, and the morning sickness has finally started. I feel sorry for her, because she's having tough time with food and such, and I love food a lot. Its hard to eat when she's feeling sick.
Today she missed some classes because of sickness. She told me ginger ale and crackers might help her feel better, so i got her a variety of crackers and some ginger ale. Hopefully it helps her.
Well, in about a week and a half we get to hear the baby's heart beat! We're excited.
Today's a short blog, but we haven't forgotten about our blogging. when we have a bit more to say, we'll get online and update this thing. Take care, everyone. We love you all.
