Campin' at the Dunes

This past weekend we drove up to the Coral Pink Sand Dunes just past Kenab, UT. We went with my husbands family. We didn't really rough it too much, considering we stayed in my father-in-laws nice camping trailor and the camp grounds had showers. So I definitely could survive 4 nights of camping. It rained a bit here and there, but I LOVED it of course, since we hardly get rain in AZ. So I savored every drop of it and enjoyed the great breeze too. I was able to ride with my husband on the utility Polaris, we just took easy trails, it was so fun. We had dutch oven cherry cobbler and smores...Mmmm. It was fun to get together and just relax. Taylor's family is great. I couldn't ask for better in-laws. I admit I wasn't as organized for the trip as I usually am, since I'm preggo, I forgot some little things and didn't take as many pics as I wanted to. I'll have to get more pics from the others. This lovely trip really made me anxious for real fall weather in Arizona ~sigh~...

Well, for those of you that don't know. I do makeup artistry as a side job/hobbie. I've done many weddings/proms. I am still building my makeup kit.

B I G NEWS!




We are excited to announce.....
I'M PREGNANT! I just found out on Labor Day! How funny is that! We just barely started trying! We are so grateful for this blessing & miracle! I think I'm 5 weeks along. My mind still hasn't grasped the fact that I am. I'll keep you all posted! In the past years I had about 5 of the exact same dreams of having a baby boy and every time I had the dream, it was more in detail and I could see the face and the baby had dimples just like Taylor's! It was crazy! It'll be fun to see what we have! So far no morning sickness...yay! For my husband and I we didn't get a normal first year of marriage so it was important for us to have the time together we had and to both feel ready. I've had many answers to my prayers in the past year about starting a family, and I felt stagnant, like my spiritual progression and purpose in life was not fulfilled, I've always known my purpose and desire was and is to be a mother, I'm so excited!
