9 Weeks and Shredfest 2014

February 13, 2014: Today marks the 9th week for us. Definitely feeling like something is going on. I have been pretty sick. Nausea/Vomitting, headaches, can't sleep, food adversions...It hasn't been good so far. But, I keep telling myself that every moment will be worth it. I have always said that I did/do not want to be one of the pregnant women who hate their pregnancy and being pregnant. It is my goal to enjoy each day that I carrying them. It's such an amazing, fascinating, incredible, and precious moment and journey- I refuse to be miserable, I can tough it out and find enjoyment in all the moments that are yet to come. So far... I feel completely blessed.  Here is our 9 week pic.

9 weeks and counting. 

February 14, 2014: This weekend marks our annual "Shredfest" weekend. I am pretty sure this is a weekend that Andy (and Tim) look forward to all year. Shredfest is held each year in Kellogg, Idaho, it's kindof a BIG deal.  Going this year is a bit tough for me, as 1) we haven't told anyone yet and 2) I have been so sick there is no hiding it. Therefore, I am bit nervous to go. I did finally tell our friends Anita and Jesse prior to leaving, they were ecstatic for us. Other than that the first people who new were my friends Lorissa and Mindy. 

Shredfest this year was made up of- Me, Andy, Tim, Beth, Tom (Orginals) and the newbies Ryan and Jess :)
The weather was great as always and the snow conditions were awesome. I did get out and snowboard one day for about 2 hours. Everyone caught on to what was going on quite early. Although they did not ask me about it, they asked Andy about it the morning of day 1 of shredding. There really was no hiding it.

Events of the weekend included: Lots of laughs and good times, Dinner and breakfast made by each couple, picking on Tim, Infamous Ernies, and the planning of 2015 shredfest. Poor Andy was picked on as they were saying he wouldn't be part of Shredfest next year. But, we will make it happen. I like to think that we will be the cool parents who take our kids everywhere and on adventures such as camping, hiking, snowboarding, skiing, snowmobiling, vacations, etc. I feel that our adventures are not going to end, they are just going to be different with two little ones. It's a new Chapter. I feel completely grateful for all the adventures and journeys that we have been on. But, excited for this new journey.
