Finishing up 2009

This year is about over and so much has changed. Matthew and I hit our one year mark and had a child and are the happiest parents ever. Even though he was a surprise, we are happy to have him. Our son was born October 14, 2009. He was 6 lb 13 oz. and 19 inches long. He is the most beautiful baby ever. I may be biased but I took a vote and everyone agreed.

The labor was not as bad as everyone said. I went to the hospital in the morning of the 14th and was only in labor for about 4 hours. I spent three of them pushing but that was because the baby's head could not fit. They used the forceps on him to get him out. Everything turned out great and he was such a healthy and happy baby.

Since the baby we have moved to Provo with our in-laws. We were not expecting baby Matthew and were not financially ready for him. We wanted to wait until I was finished with school but he was one semester early. Luckily, I will be graduating in May with a degree in Journalism.

I have been looking for a job in athletics and have applied for and internship opportunity with several NFL and NBA teams. I have not heard anything yet but I am hoping to hear something soon. Matt is not as excited about it as I am because he can not imagine moving away from the mountains.

Matt is going to school and just recently found a job working at a hospital in Provo. We were worried for a while because he did not have one just days before we moved but God blessed us. Now we are trying to get all of our stuff moved in to our new place. Matt has so much stuff!!!! I do not know how we fit all our stuff into our little two bedroom apartment.

Anyway, we are excited for Christmas and will be spending it in nice warm Arizona. Since Matt started his new job on Wednesday he does not have the whole vacation off. We only have four days but we will make every day count. This will be our first long car trip and vacation with the baby. We will see how it all goes.
