Officially FALL!!

I LOVE Fall. Like LOVE LOVE! I was so excited for this Lewiston oven to cool down and have beautiful Fall weather, and that is just what happened! At the moment, we are having cool nights, crisp mornings, and beautiful 65 degree days! It has been awesome! A couple weeks ago, a friend and I drove up to Spokane on a whim one afternoon JUST to go to Hobby Lobby and get Fall stuff to decorate with. SUPER fun! I came home and went crazy on the house complete with pumpkins and gourds! Fall has officially hit our house :)

 

Last weekend, we had a fun double date on Saturday and went to the ISU game in Moscow with the Hemmerts! We had great front row seats and it was a close game! Yummy stadium food during the game followed by yummy pizza afterwards at Smoky Mountain Pizza!

 

Jordan has been busting butt as usual at work, but this is a special occasion! His district won a regional competition in several areas including sales, and in return, they each got $100 worth of premium meat from a local butcher shop! Jordan was thrilled as we all know, he loves his meat! We ordered a little bit of everything and these were the yummy ribs we did on the grill. They were DELISH! SO proud of him :)

 

 

We have actually been home for several of the last couple weekends. What a concept huh?! We have had fun with friends, gone to the fair, went on walks and bike rides, scrapbooked, BBQ'd, played basketball, and had dinner with friends! It has been great to hang around home and enjoy the weather to do outside things for a bit longer! Some of our friends had a get together the other day, so we had their kids for the day to give them a break! Love Miss Remi and Mr. Isaac!

 

 

Well we have made it to week 8 weeks along in the pregnancy, and I have to admit, the first trimester hasn't exactly been a cake walk! While we were thrilled that everything was ok when we saw the ultrasound, we have had more of our share of not so fun first trimester things! I have only thrown up one day so far, but the other days are far from feeling "great." I can't remember the last morning that I woke up feeling good and well rested. In between feeling like crap, I have continued to have painful cramps and been uncomfortable. At first I was just thinking maybe I was just being a bit of a wuss....But then when things escalated and the more I talked to friends who had been pregnant, no way! This is the real deal and pregnancy isn't for wussies. I am hopeful for a better 2nd trimester if I make it out alive of the 1st trimester :) On a better note, I must mention that if there was a "husband of the year" award, it would totally go to Jordan hands down! He has been the absolute best EVERRR! Everything from being at every doctor's appointment, to always helping out around the house, to making last minute runs to the store, and just overall being amazingly supportive. I can literally say jump and he will say how high. I couldn't have asked for a better husband who is so loving, understanding, and helpful. He loves me through my mood swings, randomly breaking out in tears, and sleeping hours and hours a day. I couldn't do this without him. I sure scored an amazing husband, and as I see him with our friend's kids, I know he will be just as amazing of a dad when our baby arrives!

 

We have some upcoming fun things including our monthly trip to Spokane AND going home to visit family in early October where we are having our pictures done for the first time since our wedding!! Looking forward to the next few weeks and all the fun coming up! We are so blessed!

 

Love, Jordan and Elise
