Heath & Ege

Wow...Been a long time eh???

2010-02-19T22:42:00.009-07:00

This is the first time I've been on my blog for a few months..not to mention it's been since JULY since I've had a new post...haha. Just haven't had the time nor the motivation to type. A brief recap of my last few months of pregnancy and then on to my beautiful, happy and healthy baby girl.

Pregnancy was really not that bad for me. I worked until I was about 7 1/2 months and then got put on bed rest for the rest of my pregnancy which was for about 2 1/2 more weeks. Due to blood pressure issues I've had for a few years now...it def was causing an issue for me and Reese when I was pregnant. The doctors would increase my meds almost every time I went to an appt. I started at 200mg ONCE a day to 500mg THREE times a day. Meds did nothing..and my doctor wasn't the brightest I guess because he didn't ever change to a different medication to see if something else would work. He was a great doc, I just am surprised he didn't try anything else...Anyways in Mid-August we decided to move to SG 2 weeks later. The week we were moving I was at 32 weeks and from there on out was scheduled to have stress tests twice a week. Had my first one that tuesday...they put me on bedrest.. Didn't realize the day I left work on tuesday for my appt I wouldn't even be back before we moved.

Anyways, during that week Ege went to SG to get registered for school and to start his new job. So I'm up in Lehi, on bedrest...being bored..and trying to pack as much as the doctor would allow. I go in for another stress test on friday...blood pressure is too high, and the nurse won't let me leave the hospital and had to stay overnight. Mind you...EJ is still out of town...on his way back up to Lehi with my parents so we can move the next day. So I'm all alone, pregnant..and an emotional wreck. I really thought they were going to deliver Reese that night. BP levels were the highest I'd ever had 192/120s=not good. So it's the next day and the only way the doctor will let me leave for sg was to promise that once we got into town that I would go to the hospital for a stress test. So I left the hopsital in American Fork, ate lunch, and headed to sg, once in sg not even 45 min..went to hospital..spent another night in the hospital. Did I mention that my parents and EJ packed the rest of our stuff..so I NO clue where anything was...but very grateful for all of the help we rec'd. Okay, long story short...a week after this I spent 2 more nights in the hospital and finally at my OB appt and 34 1/2, my doc down here said we can't wait any long and have to deliver the baby. She wasn't growing due to my blood pressure..she was slowing down more and more at each appt. He was nervous if we waited any longer she would be still born.

Needless to say on 9/9/09...Reese Marie Saunders was born at 6:46pm weighing in at 3lbs 11oz and 16 inches long. She was so tiny but so perfect. Nothing wrong. No meds needed or oxygen, just 2 1/2 weeks in the NICU to make sure she was growing continually. We brought her home weighing in at 4lbs flat. My pregnancy wasn't miserable, but having to leave your baby every night at the hospital was heart breaking. Reese now weighs about 14 lbs and prob 24 inches long. She is the happiest baby. She's starting to roll over, loves to smile and flirt..but still a little shy. She makes everyone around her so happy. Here are some pictures from the last 5 months. Such a blessing she is!

I know these pics are older...working on uploading a lot of new pics...haven't had much time now that I'm working full-time..:( Sure miss Reese during the day. I'll try updating more often. :)

27 Weeks

2009-07-18T21:12:00.003-06:00

All right all right..so I finally got more pictures taken. I actually had Ege take some last week..but I hated the pictures..haha. As you women know that have been pregnant before...you don't feel to cute in any picture..so feel special that you get to see these!

What changed since my last update:

-My left foot isn't swollen too bad anymore. THANK GOODNESS. I sleep on a magnetic mattress..that really helps with the circulation and it helps me sleep better too.

-Baby is def moving a lot more. Sometimes it just feels like I'm hungry when she's moving and other times it feels like she is doing flips in my belly.

-Ege felt her move for the first time this week.

-Still don't have any weird cravings or really much cravings at all besides chocolate...as usual! haha

-I can't wait to see what my baby girl looks like, I find myself daydreaming about it a lot.

-I eat atleast 2 bowls of cereal every day. One for breakfast..and then for sure one before I go to bed. Lately when I get home I will eat a bowl of cereal for a snack.

-I'm working out more...and that's giving me a lot more energy during the day.

-Went swimming for the first time since I got pregnant, the weirdest thing is the feeling that you're not pregnant. That's how I felt..kind of trippy.

-I had blood pressure long before I was pregnant..and it's been quite the battle to get it under control during this pregnancy. For now it's an "alright" reading taking meds 3 times a day to help control it. One thing that's a plus is that I have ultrasounds once a month from hear on out. It's always comforting when we go and she is growing on schedule and everything looks good.

-I'm experiencing a little bit of heartburn that I've never experienced before I got pregnant. It sucks!

-Slowly have been getting things for the baby. Just ordered the stroller and swing for the babe today.

-I have the most random dreams with random people in it...people I grew up with...went to High School with..etc.

-I have random songs pop in my head. The other morning I had "Up on the Housetop"..I think that's the name of it...you know..a CHRISTMAS song..haha random.

-I know that pregnancy does things to your taste buds..and it's been frustrating because something will sound good to make for dinner..I make it..and then I'm disappointed because it doesn't have as much flavor as it usually does. wahhhh...haha

-All in all, this pregnancy isn't bad at all and feel very blessed that I'm feeling good.

That's all I can think of for now...I'll add more if I can think of anything.

21 Weeks

2009-06-07T14:55:00.006-06:00

Here I am at 21 weeks, growing by the day in more areas than just my belly..:( haha..Sacrifice right? Here is how things are going:

1. Every once in a while I'll get sick to my stomach. It only lasts maybe ten minutes, so that's good.

2. I eat a bowl of cereal every night before I go to bed.

3. I've had a little bit of swelling. Meaning in my left freaking foot. I know, it's weird. The top of my swollen foot it feels like there is a huge bruise all the way up to my mid shin. I went to the doctor this last week, he thought was weird and said to just watch it to see if it gets better...so if anyone has had this...let me know!

4. I don't crave much right now that I HAVE to have. It seems like I was more like that in the first trimester. I'm not as picky with eating as I was in the first trimester either.

5. I'm starting to feel her move. I don't feel it too consistently yet, but I know it will happen soon.

6. I get irritated very easily, and people will know it when I'm pissed. No hiding it for me! haha..

I haven't done really anything yet to get ready for the baby. I've looked at cribs and such online just to check them out, but want to ask all you mom's out there what you baby products you have liked. What you haven't liked. What you use a lot and what is a waste of money to buy. Also, wondering if you all read books with your first pregnancy? If so, what books did you find helpfu? Please help this first time momma out!

Weekend in Wyoming

2009-06-04T17:03:00.009-06:00

This last weekend we went to Rock Springs, Wyoming for my cousins High School graduation. Rock Springs is where I was born, but we moved when I was 2, so I don't remember anything about this place. It was fun to be with family. There was quite the bunch of Wilkinson clan. I don't see them very often so it was fun to hang out for the weekend. Wish the weekend lasted longer than it did!

Here is "Pa" (my dad) and Xander jumpin' on the tramp.

Xander is a miniature Kevin (my dad). Such a cute personality this boy has!

Colt and EJ being goofy.

This is Sophie-licious...haha...I just love this baby! My first neice on my families side!

This is my favorite picture!!

This is where we lived in Rock Springs. Don't remember a thing.

Ege helping Sophie get wrinkles. Love it!

Uncle Todd on electric guitar, Cody my cousin on drums. They are both amazing at this!

My cute cousin Kelsey!

Jacob and Ty being goofs...waiting for everyone to go over to my Uncle Mike's for breakfast.

We had a great time over the weekend. It felt good to get away! Oh, in other news...haha...We are having a GIRL if ya'll haven't heard yet. :) Sorry I'm a slacker on posting...

16 Weeks

2009-05-17T22:13:00.005-06:00

So here is my "16 weeks" photo. I know I'm at 18 weeks now, but I took this a few weeks ago and never got around to posting the pic then...yes I'm lazy. I'll put up another picture at 20 weeks. We find out what we are having this tuesday!!! Any guesses on a boy or girl??

For all you smart a#@es..no that is not deodorant...lets just say this shirt is a little stretched in that region! haha.. It's about time. :) I feel bigger than I look in this picture. I guess the view is different for me than others...since I'm looking down and see my belly stickin' out.

Things that are happening so far in the pregnancy:

1. I had "morning sickness" up to 3 months...seriously right when 3 months hit...the nausea was gone!! Freak ya.

2. I get hot flashes...my hands seem to get the hottest on my body. Weird.

3. I have random dreams every night. Sometimes more than one a night. If I see someone, think about someone, look at a picture of someone..I have random dreams about that person that night.

4. I seem to have random songs in my head ALL THE TIME. Some I haven't listened to in so long. I especially go to bed with a song in my head..and wake up with a different song in my head.

5. I haven't had any weird cravings so far. The first three months, I was more prone to feel sick at the thought of certain foods. Right now I feel somewhat more back to normal and I'm not as picky with what to eat.

6. If I'm on my feet for too long...my feet start to ache so bad...as well as my back..yeah I know that's gonna just get worse...needless to say..I'm very excited for the pool to open!

And that's all I can think of for now. Peace.

Happy Mother's Day Mom

2009-05-10T21:57:00.003-06:00

Happy Mother's day to a beautiful, amazing and most caring person I know. Words cannot describe the gratitude I have for my mother. She is always willing to help, doing everything possible she can to serve others. She is truly my best friend. I can tell her everything, even if it is embarrassing or shameful on my part. She doesn't judge, just loves her kids for who they are will do anything for them.

Mom, thank you for all you do. Whether it's calling and check up on me everyday to see how I'm doing to buying me a diet coke when you're visiting and I've had a hard day. :) Thank you for being an amazing mother not only to me but to EJ who hasn't had a mother in his life for 14 years. I can't imagine how it would feel to not have a Mother in my life, especially one like you. What an amazing blessing you are in my life. I love you Mom.

Isn't my mom Gorgeous?!!!

Big Gulps Huh?

2009-04-05T21:56:00.003-06:00

Welp...I'm pregnant! Yep, I peed on one of those sticks a few months ago and yes indeed we have a baby on the way! We are so dang excited!

Was it planned you ask? Yes, yes it was. We had been feeling the spirit strongly before we got pregnant, knowing that it was time for us to start a family. Heavenly Father works in mysterious ways, and since we got pregnant, things have been falling into place. How very blessed we are. Our precious baby will be joining us in mid October!

We Made It!

2009-03-15T16:29:00.004-06:00

We made it to our 1 year anniversary! I really can't believe that it's already been a year. It has seriously FLOWN by!

We celebrated the day before since our anniversary was actually last sunday. We just relaxed during the day, worked out together, had us some Jimmy Johns for lunch got ready and went on got pedicures. (Yeah that was my idea) EJ was a great sport in going! haha... I think it takes a real man to get a pedicure. :) The night was in Ege's court where we went to dinner. He surprised me and took me to The Roof in downtown SLC. We had an AMAZING view of the temple. I'd never been to their before and it was so fun to dress up and go out. We don't do that very often! It was a great day and I look forward to and eternity more anniversaries! haha..cheesy I know...but it's true.

There have been several ups and downs in this one year. Not in our relationship, but in other areas of our lives. It's been quite a growing and spiritual experience for both of us. I wanted to share the things that I have learned in this first year of being married:

-Going to the Temple together REGULARLY is important.

-Praying and reading scriptures together daily is a MUST.

-Having FHE even before having kids is an amazing experience and I can really tell when we do have FHE together how much stronger the spirit is in our home.

-Going on dates is important. Even though we don't have a ton of money at the moment, just going to dinner is amazing to me.

-If you don't speak up about what bothers you, the problem will NEVER get fixed and will cause problems later.

-Communicate!

-Let down your pride and apologize...

-I think it's healthy to speak your mind to each other. It lets you both know where you stand. It's good...

That's all I can think of for now. Yes most of them were spiritual things, but you know what people...The foundation of your marriage and what keeps you together is The Gospel of Jesus Christ. Plain and simple. I'm grateful for EJ and all that he does for me. He makes me laugh all the time which I love. He has such drive and motivation to reach his goals. I love you Ege.

Nuttin much goin on hurrrrr (here)

2009-01-21T22:41:00.002-07:00

So I've had people mention to me that I NEED to update my blog. I know I know...I guess I have lost motivation for the time being and apologize for the neglect of my blog. I know you all are just dying to hear what is going on in my life...that you are waiting by your computer 24/7 to see if I have update my blog......haha..right...

Umm...What's going on here? Work...stress..and more work. That be about it. But we are happy that's all that matters right? :)

To catch you all up..we had a great Christmas! We spent it with in Tremonton. For those of you who don't know where that is, my brother-in-law made my mom, sis-in-law, and me a t-shirt to wear for you all it says "Where the Hell is Tremonton? It's in Box Elder, County, Utah...Dumbass" haha. I love it!

The parentals and my brother Nate and his family came up to Tremonton as well. We had a partay!! We played tons of games my personal favorite was playing the "Not So Newlywed Game". Talk about being scarred for life. Hearing stuff about my parents was scarring but hilarious at the same time! You had to be there to get the details! haha

New Years was really quiet. Ege and I were both not feeling so good so we ordered cafe rio...then relaxed and later went to the movie "Yes Man". It was hilarious..but a very inappropriate part in the movie that could have been left out. We made it home just in time to see the ball drop.

Welp..I think you are all caught up in our exciting lives!! haha...I'll think of something better to post soon...if you're lucky. :)

Gracias.

So...

2008-10-18T12:46:00.003-06:00

Last night Ege and I were reading scriptures and came across a scripture that really hit us hard and I feel impressed to share it with the ones I love and share how I feel about it.

Doctrine & Covenants 38:39

"And if ye seek the riches which it is the will of the Father to give unto you, ye shall be the richest of all people, for ye shall have the riches of eternity; and it must needs be that the riches of the earth are mine to give; but beware of pride, lest ye become as the Nephites of old."

"Riches of eternity," what a powerful phrase that is. To me that is blessings (riches) from living the gospel. "Riches of the earth" I think of as more temporal blessings given in this life. I know of so many people that are struggling financially right now, me included. Some have had harder lessons to learn than others during these economic trials, but we all have the same feeling of stress on our shoulders.

I see these times as Heavenly Father giving us a "cleanse," as my mom has shared with me a few months ago. I truly believe that. He is giving us this opportunity to stop and reflect our lives, the choices we are making and what we are making our priority. I know that I have and let me tell you what is important to me...

The Gospel, plain and simple. Reading scriptures and conversing with the Lord daily, going to the Temple on a regular basis, paying tithing, attending church meetings, visiting teaching, holding the church calling I have and doing it the best I can. Am I good at all of these things?? No, they are always a work in progress.

As we seek and live those "riches" of the gospel we will receive those riches of the earth in a way that the Lord has planned.

Let us not become as the Nephites of old. Stay strong. Keep positive. Have faith and hope. Be grateful. You will see that light at the end of the tunnel. Promise.

Suggestions?!! Please!

2008-10-15T10:14:00.001-06:00

One year ago today exactly was when Ege and I met. It seems like we have known eachother longer but at the same time can't believe that a year has already flown by! What an eventful year it has been and I can't wait for many more to come! I love you Ege!

Much NEEDED Update!

2008-09-23T20:04:00.003-06:00

So it's been a while since I've had a good update on here. We've had a some changes go on in our life and are excited about them!

First off..the part-time job I got a couple weeks ago went full-time in two days! I was way surprised because my boss told me there was "potential" to go full-time...didn't realize it would be that fast! I'm very happy and grateful that it went as fast as it did!

My brother, Nate, and his family (Rachel, Brecken, & Gracen) have moved to Happy Valley! What a great treat it is to have some family close by! We haven't seen them too much yet..but they are just getting settled in their home and with Nate's job, but Ege and I are excited to be able to spend more time with them!

My Grandma (my mom's mom) went through the temple this past weekend! What an amazing opportunity to witness that! My grandma has been a member of the church for about 7 years and felt now was the time to get her endowments. My grandpa is not a member and has been supportive about this step my grandma has taken. We are all so proud of my grandma. What an example she is to me!

My sexy momma and grandma! Aren't they so cute?!

These temple pics are compliments of my cute cousin Hallee! She did a great job!

Update Continued...again...

While we were in St. George this last weekend we went to the Rodeo with Sierra and Matt. I loved going to the rodeo as a kid. We would always ride our horses around before it started. Had some good memories from doing that.

We celebrate my nephew Hayes birthday while we were down. He looks like he could be turning 2...nope....he's only 1! He is a big boy that's for sure and such a sweet baby! His funny brotha's are next to him..Bentley and Taylor

Mmmm....Cake

Ege and Matt, his girlfriend...I mean...BFF. haha

Sierra my love!

New Job

2008-09-09T14:13:00.003-06:00

So a few have asked about how my job search is going. I found a part-time job as of last friday. I started yesterday! I'm a bit sad about it only being part-time, but their is potential for it to be a full-time position. I'm working for an accounting company assisting in bookkeeping and spliting commissions for health and life insurance companies, etc...It's in Bluffdale so it's not too far away from Lehi. I really like it already! I love computer work..I know...I'm weird. Oh well. I'm also looking for another part-time job so that I can get more moolah. So there ya go...I got a job and am so excited about it! It was a great blessing for us!

I have succombed...

2008-09-04T14:32:00.002-06:00

to reading the entire Twilight series. I started last thursday and finished the last book today! haha..I have never been so obsessed with reading as I have with these books...weird. As some of you know..I quit my job to find something closer to my area so in waiting patiently for finding that job, these books have helped with the stress levels! It's been a nice distraction to have while I've been at home, applying for jobs, and waiting for interviews. I recommend them to anyone especially if you are stressed and needing a break!

Happy Birthday Ege!!

2008-08-20T09:08:00.004-06:00

So it's my lovers birthday today! He is the big 24 today! That's right..we are now the same age! haha. I'm about 10 months older than him so it feels good to be the same age for a whole whopping 2 months!

I'm so grateful for EJ. He is so amazing, motivated, sexy, caring, passionate, amazing, kind, positive, strong, amazing. Did I mention amazing?!

Happy Birthday Ege. I love you more than anything.

Ege's New Job

2008-08-06T16:22:00.002-06:00

Just wanted to give a shout out to my honey and tell him how proud I am for him getting the job at Lifetime Fitness. It's a fitness club that has EVERYTHING you can think of in it. I got a tour of the facility a few weeks ago and definitely blew me away! He will be a full-time massage therapist at the spa. This is going to be such a great opportunity for him and to really show everyone what an AMAZING therapist he is. I'm not just saying that because he's my husband either. He really knows how to help people feel better than ever. He starts next monday! Woo Hoo! Love you Ege!

Word.

2008-08-04T22:29:00.003-06:00

So Ege and I went on a walk last night and on the long stretch home and there was this kitten in front of a house we were walking by. Now this was a cute kitten...that says a lot cuz I HATE cats. So we keep walking and I look back and it's following us! This goes on for over two blocks!! haha..we didn't know what to do. We were getting closer to home..I was thinkin we were gonna have to drive the kitten back to where we found it.

Anyways..we got to an intersection and starting walking across the street and looked back and sure enough..the kitten was right behind us. Well there was a car at the stop sign and we hear a door shut and it was a young girl calling for the kitten! It was the owners of the kitten!! The home where we first saw it wasn't even where they lived. What are the odds that that kitten was to walk right in front of them?? Weird..but cool.

Lagoon!!

2008-07-23T20:09:00.004-06:00

So my momma and two nephews came up from St. George and took Ege and me as well as my sista and her 3 boys to Lagoon! We had a blast! It was so hot..but we got to cool off with some of the water rides. Road the new ride Wicked! It was so much fun..Ej and my Mom laughed at me the whole time because I had a scared look on my face. haha... It was a lot of fun! We went to the Dinosaur Museum that weekend as well. Think have watching 5 boys run around worrying they were going to knock the T-Rex down! haha..It was quite eventful! Thanks mom for such a great weekend!! We all had such a fun time!

Denver!

2008-07-14T21:28:00.003-06:00

So Ege and I went to Denver this past weekend for a Nikken Business trip. It was amazing! The seminar was all day sat and almost all day sunday. For a day and a half it was all about a personal growth course- not really anything to do with Nikken. Let me tell you, it was awesome. We wrote our own mission statements, set lots of personal goals, met tons of people. What a great experience for EJ and I to do together. We were really at an advantage at this seminar because we were maybe 1 out of 4 couples attending out of about 70 people. So we were able to be partners for the course when a lot of people weren't with their spouse for this. It was a pretty emotional experience and we learned so much and gained so much confidence not just with a business, but in every day life!

Here are a few pics from the trip. I'm not really a camera person especially when it comes to pictures with me...so soak them up! :)

Ege and I on our way to Denver..showing our excitement!

Ege should be driving right now...

So friday night we were on our way to meet up with my good friend Dieter for dinner and took the wrong exit on the freeway. We ended up on the right road we were looking for...but very far East. We left early anyways to drive around Denver..so it was alright that we took the long way to dinner. Only thing was...we wish it were a better scenic route! We totally ended up driving through the ghetto. Man it brought back memories of the ghetto on my mission that's for sure..only a bit more scary this time! Just glad it was still light out! We def. took a different route back to the hotel! It was quite the adventure!

We did get to drive by Denver Bronco's stadium. Ege was pretty excited to see that..

Waiting for Dieter to get to Casa Bonita for some grub. It was pretty cool It is like the Mayan in SLC if any of you have been their only Mexican style. Isn't my Hubby so handsome??!!

We stopped at this gas station in Cheyenne to pee...and this was on both the men's and women's bathroom doors. "Not an Exit". No $h!t! haha..bless Wyoming. I can say that because I was born there.

Our Place

2008-06-21T22:41:00.003-06:00

So I thought I would take a few pics of our place for those that haven't seen our place yet...We are very blessed for our condo and it works very well for us right now.

Here is the Living Room...with our beautiful entertainment center. Can you believe that this was given to us??? Before we were married of course we were looking for good deals on furniture and things..Well a guy that I work with said he was wanting to sell an entertainment center he had. I told him to let me know when they figured out a price to sell it for. So the next week he came to me and said that he was just going to give it to us so that he could get it out of his house! I tried to get a price on it..but he wouldn't budge. Crazy eh?? We are very grateful for his generous donation towards the Saunders Family! :)

Dining area...Painting has been done..but haven't put lots of stuff on the walls yet. Plus my momma is helping me with it. I'm nervous to put things on the wall so thanks mom for you assistance in where to hang things and also painting!

Here is the kitchen. Before moving in it seemed like a lot of cupboard space..but we are finding now that it's not! haha..It works for us for now.

I tried to upload the spare bedroom pic...but it's not workin. I would take a picture of the master bedroom..but I didn't make the bed..too lazy today! It's a bit windy in Lehi, but we love our condo!

Jake's Baptism

2008-06-04T22:23:00.007-06:00

This past weekend Ege and I went up Tremonton for my nephew Jacob's baptism! It was so awesome to support him! We are so proud of you Jake! I didn't get a lot of pics...but you can see how big my nephews are! They are so dang cute and say the funniest things.

Here is Jake, the newest member of the church in our family! I can't believe he's 8 already!

Ege, Jake, and Xander aka...Xandy

This is Colt and Xander...bein goofy. Funny story..we all went to breakfast as a family and Colt was sitting next to Ege...so Ege tells Colt that if he eats this huge glob of butter that he will give him $5. So what did Colt do??? He ate it!! hahahah...sick..I wanted to throw up just watching him think about doing it! That will teach Ege to challenge those boys..they will do anything!

The Jackrabbit Factor

2008-05-28T19:54:00.006-06:00

So some of you know that I work for a Prosperity Coach. Not only focusing on prosperity of finances,but all areas of life.

Well EJ and I have just started to go through the process of The Prosperity Coach-yes that's the name of the business as well. We have had two appointments so far and the first appointment Cynthia gave us the homework of reading the book The Jackrabbit Factor by Leslie Householder. I have just barely finished the book and what a positive impact it has made on both mine and EJ's lives.

On the front of the book there is a subtitle that says.."Why You Can". Which can only tell you what this book is about. To make a long blog short..haha..it's about achieving your goals in life. By having the right kind of mindset to accomplish your dreams!

One of the biggest messages the book conveys is Gratitude. How gratitude plays a huge part in your success in life which I believe 100%. One part of the book really struck me that I will work on doing in my everyday life.

It says "You've got to have gratitude for your present condition, no matter what they are, because it is the lessons of the present that prepare you for the blessings of the future. Have grateful thoughts for your current situation. Also, you've got to have thoughts of how you'll feel when you reach your goal."

It goes on to say.."Thoughts of trust are vital, too; trust that a higher power is guiding you to find and catch your rabbit (dream/goal). And, most importantly, you must have thoughts of belief that there is a way no matter what kind of obstacles may appear. These thoughts are all invisible but powerful little packages that go out and do for you many things that you can't do for yourself."

"Be genuinely grateful for the way things are, and then be truly grateful for how things will be. You see, to be grateful for something before it has been accomplished, is faith. And faith can move mountains"

How powerful are just those few paragraphs? I don't know about you, but it has really opened my eyes to the potential I really have in this life and how I can reach it.

We all have had obstacles. We all have had jobs we have hated, been in a money bind, etc, but have we been truly grateful for even those experiences or have we been negative and played a victim? I'll admit it. I have! If you say you haven't you are only fooling yourself.

So why not change that attitude? Why not be grateful for what we have now and what we plan to have in the future? Instead of worrying about what we don't have, why not be grateful for what we do have in life? Let's quit being a victim and reach our FULL potential. The only thing that is stopping us from reaching our goals and dreams are negative thoughts. Let's change it!

This book has changed my life for the better. I have goals and dreams that WILL come to me as I am grateful and have the attitude that I will do what it takes to get that in my life.

I'm so grateful for life's experiences both good and bad because those experiences have made me the person I am today and look forward to those blessings and growth from those experiences for many years to come.

Read this book, it will change your life.

All About EJ

2008-04-22T09:31:00.005-06:00

What is his name? Eric John (EJ)

How long have you been married? On our 2nd month of marriage! Lovin every minute of it!

How long did you date? Month and a half before engagment..total...about 5 1/2 months. (No comments on how short of a time we dated please, it's very sensitive to me) Perfect amount of time for Ege and me. Done.

Who said I love you first? Ege totally did! haha..like two weeks after we started dating. We were watching a movie and out of the blue he whispers in my ear "Heather" and of course I say, "yeah?" and he said "I love you". It was the most amazing feeling in the world for him to say that. I didn't say it back yet..I wanted to be sure I knew what the heck I was doing. I said it a few weeks later.

Who sings better? Um..honestly I do. Just bein honest. Now if you ask who is more musically talented?..that would most definitely be EJ. He loves playing guitar and bass guitar. He is loves to write songs. I have to brag he has written some about me... :)

Who is taller? Depends if I'm wearing heals and how thick of shoes he has on at the time...haha..bare foot..Ege is taller by probably 3-4 inches.

Whose temper is worse? Have to say mine. Ege is way easy going and not much sets him off. Me on the other hand...haha. Poor guy right?

Who does the laundry? We both do. Ege is good about that.

Who does the dishes? We both do..he's been trained well..haha. and no he isn't falling out of that habit if I have ANYTHING to do with it. haha.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do...we both wanted that side of the bed. Ege sleeps in the middle of the bed..so we probably share the right side of the bed.

Who does the cooking? Ege will cook, or atleast help. I do for the most part but he is more than willing to help.

Who is more stubborn? I am fo sho!

Who proposed? Duh? If I proposed that would be weird..sorry if any girls out there reading this proposed to their husbands...it just wouldn't work that way for me and Ege..not sayin it doesn't work for other couples. ;) It was very out of the blue..and I wasn't expecting at the time...but he proposed with just me and him..no one else around..which is what I wanted. It was very special.

Who is more likely to admit when they're wrong? EJ is. I have pride issues and get embarassed when I am wrong and have to say sorry...which I'm rarely ever wrong. :) At least I can keep telling myself that right?? ha.

Who wears the pants in the family? Um.. Ege can..but I wear them most of the time. Once again...poor Ege. haha.

Why do you love your husband? Several reasons. He is very handsome of course! Ege is such a gentle and loving person. I love that he has so much motivation in achieving his goals. That is very important to me. I love how he is always so happy and positive. I love how he is always making me laugh. I love that he won't settle for an average-okay life. He wants the best and so do I. I love that he has such a strong testimony of the gospel. That he lives it, and doesn't just believe it. He is such an amazing example to me helping me to become a better person. I love how happy I am being married to him. He puts a smile on my face every time I see him. I love you so much Ege.

Our New Biznass (Sorry it's long...but PLEASE read)

2008-04-21T22:18:00.005-06:00

Alright, I know it's been forever since I've posted something..so here goes! Ege and I have some HUGE financial goals for our family that we want to accomplish NOW! For instance..we want to work only because we love what we do..and we can work as little as possible and it not effect our income coming in. I'm so sick of living from paycheck to paycheck. I want to be able to travel, to shop, to spend as much time with my husband (and kids in the future) as possible. My family is what is most important and I want to give them as much time as possible.

Ege has such HIGH goals it's so cute and very inspiring. He will ask me all the time about our dream house. He's always like so is 10,000 sq ft too small?? haha.. I know what you are thinking. 10,000 sq ft.!!!?? Now I don't know about that big of a house, but we will see I guess. We will have the money, so we will def. get what we want. I'm sure you all are asking yourselves "how are they gonna do that?". Be open about it..and you'll want to do the same thing.

EJ has been with this company called Nikken for over a year now...it's been pretty new to me since we've been married. Nikken is a multi-level marketing company. Now I know what you're thinking again.."it's a freakin scam and you won't make crap". Wrong. Yes it is a multi-level marketing company, but it also has amazing quality projects.

So what is Nikken? It sells wellness products. Selling everything from sleep systems, water purifiers, to shoe insoles, to jewelry, to nutrition products, to pots and pans. Wellness products meaning it's gonna make your life SO MUCH healthier than you think you are right now. All of these products have to do with magnetics. Magnets can help with the circulation in your body. These products are making it for you to be healthy more naturally..instead of taking a thousand medications for all the problems that you have.

They have had so many positive results with people with allergies, to epilepsy, restless leg syndrome, , to arthritis, to acid reflux, to any aches and pains you are having, etc. I'm sure you are thinking..."what a joke". This is really new to me guys, but I'm not one to be suckered with anything like this. We have the water and air system in our home as well as the magnetic insoles. Words really can't fully express the difference that I feel from being home to out in the nasty air.

Okay, I"m sorry I'm almost done going off on this. But they even have had successful cases where people with high blood pressure don't have to take their meds anymore. Some of you know that I have high blood pressure which is not normal for someone at my age to have. The doctors tell me it's "hereditary". Which means I'm stuck, right now anyways, to taking atleast one pill a day for the rest of my life to keep it under control. My mom has it and is up to 4 pills a day. I AM going to be a success case where I use these Nikken products and naturally see my blood pressure go down to normal...and that means no more blood pressure meds for me! My mom has the magnetic insoles, and she had her blood pressure checked at the doctors and it's been the lowest she has seen in a very long time even with taking medication. That def. says something to me.

So where are we going to make millions and billions of dollars?? By introducing Nikken to everyone we know, helping them live a healthy lifestyle as well as giving them an opportunity to make the big bucks as well. We have already seen money come in from this the first month we have been married. People have started in this business and now they get monthly checks for more than people make in a year. I'm really not kidding. So here is our website:

www.nikken.com/teamsaunders

Check it out. This is a great business for people that want to stay at home with kids or even just want to run a home based business. If you have questions...bring it on. If you are going to be sarcastic about it..I really don't want to hear it. :) We have goals..and we're going to reach them. Just want to share it with those I care about because I want you to achieve your goals too.

I Have NO Clue

2008-04-21T22:01:00.003-06:00

Okay so I have been trying to figure it out...but i have no freakin idea how to do it. I have seen so many cute blogs..and I have no idea how to make mine cute!! I need help!! Any help..direction..tips..etc would be awesome!

I know..this post isn't much..don't worry another one is on it's way!

Cooking...

2008-04-04T09:54:00.003-06:00

Sup. So a few peeps have asked me how the cooking has gone since I've been married. Well, we made an amazing roast for sunday dinner! It was so freakin good! I was very proud..that was def. the first roast I've ever made! haha..I know it's lame..but you gotta start sometime right? I made some amazing taco's the other night as well. I would say cooking has been a success so far! I'll get a hang of it more the more I cook. Ege is such an awesome helper as well. He'll chop veggies..or set the table..or even help with the dishes. He can make some great chicken as well. So in answer to your question on how the cooking is going..it's going awesome. Now if ya'll have some amazing recipes please share them with me! :)

A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE

2008-03-27T18:33:00.007-06:00

Alright..so I promised a couple of my friends that I would do the memory post. I hope I include everyone! Here goes...

1. I met one of you in Mr. Hansen's science class in 7th grade..later that night..we were in the same dance class. Been best of friends ever since!

2. Every Sunday in college a few of us would have dinner at the Blue house on main street before going to the fireside that night.

3. Several of you would come to my house all the time in Washington...we would laugh til all hours of the night..sometimes being escorted out of the house by my dad...haha!! Man..that was fun.

4. A few of you would go line dancing with me at the Dance Factory...RIP Dance Factory! tear...

5. A few of us went to the Forgotten Carols this past Christmas..it was amazing!

6. A good percentage of pictures taken in College was taken at Chili's...this involved several people...many many times! Queso anyone? I had some a couple days ago..it had been forever...man that stuff is good!

7. How about that Hottie of the Week?!! What fun our group had that year!

8. I would have to take you home after hanging out with friends..then you would talk me into getting ice cream and we would talk forever about the girl you liked...who is now your wife! :)

9. Christmas of '03 we were bored one night so you and I had a photo shoot...we made a little film with photos trying to race up my stairs! haha..

10. A few of us witnessed Tanya doing the splits down the slide at Heidi's house...while she is going doin the slide...hearing a crack in the slide...haha..i'm laughing as I type this!

11. A few of you would take me on adventures to Coleman's house..I hated that..It def. made me laugh though. There are songs to this day that still remind me of that.

12. A few of us went on a walk in Bloomington one night...witnessing another friend take her shirt and bra off and watching her freakin huge boobies bounce across the Bloomington bridge.

13. A couple of us shaved Brad Loyd's legs one night...hmmm....haha

14. We would have sleep overs all the time..we would practice our dances..or make up our own. We made a lyrical to Jewels "You Were Meant for Me"..wow..that was forever ago.

15. Davido Osmondo..Spears! haha...

16. I will say only one word for a few of you out there...Puta

17. You were cleaning out your pool so we could go swimming...You still had your clothes on and fell in the pool!!

18. A few of us would go to Nelson's Frozen Custard and pretend we were falling off the fence...haha..we are lame!

19. We would make a trip to Vegas every once in a while just to go to Cheesecake Factory and watch people.

20. A few of us crowded in the dressing room in Victoria's Secret as one of our friends tried on lingerie..yes...a thong was involved.

21. "You need to get that fixed!"

22. I was on my mission and two of you were in the St. Louis area..and took my companion out for dinner..there were a few people that were jealous of that. It was exactly what I needed at that time!

23. I was talking and laughing with one of you in Mrs. Morris' class in middle school. She warned us and then took us out in the hall and called our parents. My parents still bring that up and laugh to this day.

24. I got you free passes to the summit all the time..so you could come to the hip hop class taught by Scott and work out with me. That was so fun.

25. Dan and I soaped a few of your cars...haha..you thought Luke did it..I don't know if the truth ever came out that I was a part of it. :) This started a soap..and marshmellow war.

26. I distinctly remember your signature dance move in college...for example..when "Shut Up" by Black Eyed Peas came on...

27. I was always a third wheel with you and your husband...I didn't care though..I had so much fun with you guys!

28. You always had the best sound systems in not only yours...but your whole family's cars. It was like a free massage.

29. A few of us had a freakin awesome photo shoot by BYU campus. That was after an amazing friend weekend! Prank calls were involved.

K that's all I can think of for now...my brain is a little slow.. I'll add more when I think of some.

2008-03-21T16:56:00.002-06:00

So I titled this post as "too blessed to be stressed"...which is a quote from an investigator I taught on my mission. She was such a funny lady with a lot of soul in her! She would always say that phrase and it would make me laugh but it is so true!

Ege and I have been so blessed lately. EJ got a new job working at the Massage School in Lindon...which is pretty much only part-time. We kinda stressed when we saw his schedule wondering what to do. Well EJ is so motivated and got his resume sent out to so many places over the past week! Anyways...He had an interview with Massage Envy. It consisted of an interview as well as a massage that he had to give to the interviewer. He was a little nervous before hand because he's not used to the "nice" massages...he is more along the lines of alighning the body..very deep stuff. So he had his interview..and then gave the massage. When he was done they told him that was one of the best massages they'd ever had and when can he start?!!! Needless to say...we are "too blessed to be stressed" and so thankful for this opportunity! I'm so proud of my husband! He is a go-getter! I love you Ege.

We are MARRIED!

This was at the open house...after the ring ceremony the wind was insane! Okay so I really wasn't a Bridezilla as it looks like in the picture..promise! There was no point in throwing a fit if there is nothing you can do about it right? It still turned out pretty good I think.

I love the above picutre. It's a picture of a picture..i think the reflection of the open house is awesome. Anyways...That's one of our bridal pictures. Prob one of my favs that was taken

It was such a beautiful day when we got out of the temple! It was actually kinda hot if you ask me! It was perfect!

We have now been married for about a week and a half. I am loving being married to EJ! He is so wonderful and takes care of me...I only hope I can return that care for him! We have been keeping super busy with getting our condo in order...I still have boxes everywhere! We are so excited to get it all put together. It's going to be fun for me to decorate and buy things for our new place! Woo hoo!!

Married life is so fun, but a bit of an adjustment! A good adjustment though..I think the weirdest thing is changing my last name. I keep forgetting to sign my married name! haha..I didn't practice writing my married name before getting married...I'm a little lost! haha..I'll get the hang of it though. I'm so happy! I love everything about EJ. He keeps things fun and makes me laugh. Which is def. what I was looking for!

THE BIG DAY!

So the big day is coming only a few days away. I've heard many stories of people of getting cold feet before they get married...For me that is def. not the case. The more I'm with EJ the more and more I love him! I couldn't be more ready to marry him than I am right now. We are so excited to start our life experiences with each other. I'm excited to be a wife and to take care of our Family. Believe it or not I'm excited to cook...haha..I know that comes as a shock to a lot of you that I say that because I never cook. I don't like cooking for one person..I think it's pointless and would rather eat something that takes only a few minutes when the only person I'm feeding is myself. So I'm excited to start cooking for two people. Not to mention...EJ likes to cook!! haha In the meals that we have had together he is so helpful never letting me or wanting me to do it by myself. We make a great team! I know that there will def. be tough times and that marriage isn't the easiest thing, but at the same time I know that we are going to be happy!
