So I'm on my phone again and actually it does some autocorrect which is nice but I need more help the that. Anyways back to what this post is even about is we found out what we are having and coildnt be more excited.. Grant literally was shaking with excitement and I had a few tears because it was crazy. I guess when you find out what it is and see the baby with the arms legs fingers and toes it become more real then anything else ever has. I'm going to be a mom and grant a dad and we are going to have a BOY! We do have a name but for the most part it's secret but I have told some. So when I was sitting or laying on that dreaded table where they put this nice gel and towel on your belly My mind was racing.. I honestly didn't care what it was and really I wasn't looking at that. I was looking at its little perfect body and perfect hands and feet. Everything was on place and things were functioning perfectly. I know I have already used the word perfect to many times but honestly it was a moment the was absolutely perfect! I can't wait to be a mom and I can't wait for grant to be a dad. He is going to be a great dad and I know I will love him more and more each day as he holds our little guy. It just has been an amazing experience and I realize that our life is t perfect, we have to work like crazy to get by but we are so blessed and I am greatful. So now as I prepare to bring a little boy into our lives I feel like this little boy has brought me closer to Grant and also closer to Heavenly Father. I just can't express what I feel but I k ow that all the moms out there have felt the same thing! Anyways enough about the mushy stuff and sorry to bore whoever is reading but yes I had exciting news and also lots of feelings so what better way to share then to blog?! Also here are some belly pics from today .. Can't believe I am letting people see!! Enjoy! And yay for our baby BOY!!

Just some info on life

Well last night was the first time I blogged on my phone.. hence so many errors! I still thought it was pretty good and I accomplished what I needed to, which was to get me into blogging. I figure I am having a baby and why not blog about the second most life changing experience EVER!! The first was marriage and can I just say the I love being married.. and to be honest I used to couldn't say that. I/we just forgot to date and to remember each other. So at one point we felt like we were roommates and not even lovers. Isn't that crazy? Anyways I have decided that this phase that we went through probably happens to most and it is something that I/we need to continually work on. Now after a couple months of figuring out each other again we are finally very very happy. It couldn't have come at a better time because remember I am pregnant! We honestly couldn't be more excited and nervous. Grant wants a boy and I want a HEALTHY baby.
I also just witnessed my sister having her baby.. yes the whole thing and it scared me to death.. Holy crap I can't believe that my body will do what hers did. It is amazing. Anyways for the progress on this prego body of mine that just keeps growing is, I'm 20 weeks, I have gained 13 pounds, and my boobs are triple the size they usually are. Now that I would actually look good in bras and victorias secret stuff (boob wise) I have a belly that sticks out. Dang.. oh well. My mirror only shows the top half of my body so I just think I look good!

Enough about me, Grant is kicking butt in life. He has two jobs plus started a carpet cleaning company, and is full time in school. How does he do it? No idea. He just gets up and goes until late at night and sleeps like a baby because he is so tired. Oh do I love him! He is really amazing and I couldn't be more lucky to be "dating"/married to this guy. I get butterflies again when he is coming home and guys he is so HOT! I mean seriously he is just perfect for me. pictures will come soon, I need to figure this stuff out once again!

So its almost been a year.. Boy do I suck! As I write this my husband has emptied the dishwasher and now is doing to laundry.. Double suck. But what a nice guy! Anyways the reason why I'm in bed and he is doing the laundry is because I have a prego back and it hurts all the time! So I go right to my bed when I get home! Back to the part that I'm PREGO!! I'm so excited
, or I should say we are so excited! I'm five months today and for those that don't know that means I am half way. It's been hard.. Really hard. Grant and I tried getting pregnant for nine months and finally the night before we left the the Bahamas I took a test! The line was very light but it was there and I finally was pregnant! So we headed out on a vacation where there is unlimited food and where I gained 4 pounds.. Not a good way to start off a pregnancy. Well paradise had to come to an end and we got home.. And I got sick, so sick! That lasted for about six weeks and I swore I would have no more kids. However now I might have a few more! So basically I am getting bigger and bigger and the baby is too. Tuesday we find out what this little bigger is and I will have to post it them!! Yay!! I

Life as we know it..

So new on my life goes as follows:

• I am done working at the "Ranch" it was a long time coming and it feels great. I am now done giving all these meds to kids that are probably over medicated and because of that never learn how to deal with problems for real. 
• Grant and I have hit the one year mark.. we didn't really celebrate yet, however, I don't think that one year is a huge deal. 
• I moved my career to Cedar City at the Hair Boutique where I am six days a week from 9-5. 
• I took the semester off of college to get my clientele here.
• Grant is going full time and is going to get a 4.0 (hopefully!) 

Ok I am done with the bullet points and on to more interesting things. So on the second bullet point I said that Grant and I hit our one year... I also stated that I didn't think it was that big of a deal. I feel like this not because my life was a year of bliss and happiness because it wasn't but because I think in most cases with marriage you should at least try it out for a year or two.. I mean it is a commitment and in my case it is a huge commitment to God, myself and the hubby. So this year has been  eventful.. full of laughing, crying, some yelling, one swear word (from Grant), making tons of money, spending tons of money, being broke, getting a dog, and so much more. I think it has been life as we know it. I remember talking to one of my best friends one day (single friend) and she asked how was married life. I explained that I love being married and how I couldn't believe that I was so scared of it before I knew what it was like. I then said of course it is one of the hardest things I have done. I had to learn what bugged the husband, how he acted when he was mad (which is not talking or pretending he isn't mad) this makes it very hard to work it out!! I had to learn that I needed to be more patient, more loving, and I needed to make sure that Heavenly Father was in our lives. The husband ( I dont know if I want to refer to him as Grant or husband or hubby or mr. barlow so I will test them all out) is a great example to me of how to have the gospel in his life. He, as most who read this or will read this know that Mr. Barlow has gone through so much. He is originally from CC not cedar city but yes Colorado City. I won't get into much detail on this blog because I haven't asked him if I can make his story public or anything of that sort but soon I will post about it.. promise! Anyways you would be shocked, like I was to hear some of the amazing, terrifying, crazy things he has been through. I realize that a lot of people have been through a lot but I never have been so close to someone who has. What I am getting at is that the gospel saved his life and actually made my dreams come true. He was converted to the LDS church when he was 17 or 18 and then served a mission in Italy. Not even one year after his return we met. After two weeks of knowing him I knew and he knew that we would spend the rest of eternity with each other. Well the point of this blog was to one, get me excited about blogging because now that I don't work two full time jobs and go to school full time  I will have time to tell everyone about my life and mostly keep a journal. oh and ps my husband is a babe, here are some pics to prove it!!

 Oh and I almost forgot, my family had pictures taken without the spouses due to one being out of the country and my bro still isn't married!
