Marriage is not a noun; it's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do. It's the way you love your partner every day. -Ann Landers

My baby - Baby Boy Welch!

So there's been some confusion as to this post...this is just a joke, not our real baby. We've had a few people call, sweet, sweet people, and congratulate us on the birth of our baby. So just to clear things up, this picture is morphed. Below is a website that I put our pictures into (just out of curiosity) to see what our baby might look like...the below picture was the result.

Thank you to those who were sweet enough to call and voice their concern. Mostly to be upset that we didn't let them know that we had our little boy...people he's still cooking for a few more days. I promise that we will let you all know when he arrives!

A Tribute to 2008

I've been feeling pretty grumpy today...not to blame the pregnancy hormones or anything...but still very grumpy about life today. Mostly just impatient waiting for things to fall into place. So during my little pity party, I thought maybe I should count my blessings instead. Even though the last part of 2008 everything kind of fell apart, it was still a pretty good year. Why is that the bad stuff always seems to stick in our minds rather than all the good? I don't get it, and I hate it. So here are some of the good things that happened in 2008:


For our birthday's in 2008 Andy and I went snowmobiling up at Strawberry. It was so much fun!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Went to St. George several times with family and friends and had a some fun in the sun.

*********************************************************************************

We went to Newport Beach with my family and got really, really tan. (That was my favorite part.)

**********************************************************************************

My best friend moved back up to Salt Lake, well Layton, from St George so now we can spend more time together.

***********************************************************************************

We received the most unexpected suprise and found out that we had a baby on the way.

We also went to Cabo San Lucas but since I posted those pictures not to long ago I won't put them up again.

All in all it was a good year, we have much to be grateful for. So I'll stop complaining now!

Cabo San Lucas

Last week we went to Cabo San Lucas with most of the Welch family. It was an adults only trip and we had the time of our lives. After the long flight and layovers we finally arrived, and the party began. We spent everyday on the beach, eating chips and salsa and drinking pina colada's or my favorite Miami Vice (1/2 pina colada and 1/2 Strawberry Daiquiri...virgin of course) Alberto quickly became my best friend, he was the guy that brought me my food and drinks at the beach everyday...I love happy hour.
We had so much fun in the sun with everyone.
The only down side what that little London decided to make her appearance while we were all playing in Mexico. At least she gave us all an excited reason to come home.



We went snorkeling, jet skiing, kayaking, swimming, got stung by little jelly fish, sailing, dancing, played tennis, went to the spa, played ultimate Frisbee, met interesting people, and so much more.
Thanks everyone for the wonderful vacation, it was truly needed and time well spent!
