A Teenager No Longer!

Yep, I finally hit 20! I have to say this has been one of the best birthdays yet, the whole week was packed full of things to do! The Tuesday before my birthday my best bud Alyssa took we to lunch at Cucina in the Avenues. (SO GOOD!) Then Wednesday was my birthday. Landon's family had pictures that day by the same guy who did our wedding pictures, Kelly Sansom, and when Landon told him it was my birthday and I was turning 20, he just had this amazingly shocked look on his face and said,"You're that young!? Man Landon you definitely robbed the craddle!" For some reason I thought he knew I was that young all along but I guess not. Hopefully I'll still get that reaction when I'm 50! ;) Anyway, the day was great! After pictures at the Capitol, Landon took me to dinner at The Garden (fried pickles there are THE BEST!) and then we went and saw New Moon at the Gateway. Definitely a low budget film and just a little cheesy but fun to see if you've read the books. Then we drove to Midway where we spent the night! Such an awesome husband I have! Oh and I forgot, Landon got me these awesome freshwater pearl earrings that I had seen when we were getting my ring cleaned forever ago, that I had totally forgotten about but loved! Man am I spoiled! The next day we drove to my grandparents house for a yummy Thanksgiving, always fun! On Friday, Landon's mom, my mom, and all the Sandberg girls went out to lunch and Christmas shopping, and finally on Sunday we had a little family dinner and a cute cupcake cake to celebrate with my family! Thanks to all of my great friends and family for making my birthday so awesome! I love you guys!

20 Weeks

I will be 20 weeks with baby #2 in just a couple of days. Baby boy #2 that is! Half way! I'm finally getting around to taking a picture of myself and writing down a little bit about this pregnancy. It's definitely been different this time around both emotionally and physically. Of course I have another child to attend to so I can't nap whenever I want, I felt more sick this time around and it lasted longer, and worst of all for me is the teenage acne I've developed. I don't intend for this to be a sob story, but I've never been the girl that everyone says "You're so pretty" to and I've never been the skinny girl. But I have always had really great skin. To be honest, most of my confidence in my outward appearance is because I have my mom's skinny legs and I have clear skin and a natural tan. Well these days I literally cringe when I look in the mirror. I've NEVER had acne. I've always had the occasional breakout tha...

Another Week, Another Hike

My aunt, mom, and I headed up Holbrook Canyon last Saturday to take in more of Fall's goodness. This canyon is just above the Bountiful, Utah Temple. The last time I hiked it was ages ago, so I forgot about how long of a hike it is. I looked up the mileage online which said 8 miles up and back. Well I don't know if that's accurate or what because after we had gone what I swear was 4-5 miles, we still weren't to the top and had to turn around so we could make it back before dark. A lot of the trail is uphill and it's not a really easy hike, so maybe we were just making slower time and didn't go as far as I thought, but maybe next time we'll actually make it to the top. Even though we didn't make it, it was still worth the beautiful scenery. As we got toward the bottom as the sun was practically gone, the canyon was glowing from all the brilliant colored leaves. It was seriously magical, as cheesy as that sounds. It's a shaded hike, almos...
