Wonderful News / First Anniversary

I am posting this a wee bit late, but oh well. So me and Stetson were way excited planning our first anniversary. We couldn't believe it came so quickly.
About a month prior to our anniversary we found out some exciting news....we were pregnant! So I called the doctor and set up an appointment. We had our first doctor's appointment on Monday the 16th, right before we left for our anniversary. It was a great early anniversary present.
I didn't really know how far along I was so we were anxious to find out.
Turns out I was 9 weeks pregnant and our relative due date would be November 20th! Boy were we happy. We also got to have our first ultrasound! Talk about surreal. I have seen it done in movies, but it was crazy in person. To think there is something growing inside of you, it is truly a miracle. Stetson and I were stoked to say the least. The best part for me was to see Stetson's reaction especially when we got to see the heartbeat. :) It didn't look like much besides a little bean, but it was awesome just the same. I was kind of weirded out by our doctor when he was bouncing the thing on my stomach to try and get the little "bean" to move, talk about uncomfortable. But he said everything was looking great, so we were happy.
Now we are getting even more excited for our next appointment in two weeks to see how the baby is growing and to actually hear the heartbeat.

Anywho, now on to our anniversary. We both got friday off and left fairly early that morning to go up to Salt Lake where we made reservations at the Anniversary Inn.
Since we got up there so early and we couldn't check in til 5:00, we decided to stop and eat and visit the mall. After that we stopped in at his Dad's and visited for a short while and then went to visit Cabela's since we had lots of time to kill.
We finally checked into our room, changed clothes and went directly to Red Lobster. I had been craving their biscuits and clam chowder, along with their delicious strawberry cheesecake. :) MMM That meal was wonderful, I sure stuffed myself full.
Saturday we had a breakfast and then went to a morning session at the Salt Lake Temple. It was such a beautiful day and fairly busy with all the weddings and such, but it was nice. That was probably the biggest session I have ever been in, but I love the peace that I feel when I am there.
That night we went to a Jazz game. Talk about awesome. I have only been to one other Jazz game and that one was fun, but this one was intense. They won in overtime!
Sunday came way to quickly, but we decided we weren't going to rush going home. So we slept in, had a wonderful breakfast, and then went to visit Stetson's Dad, Carol, and grandparents for the rest of the day. As we were leaving, we announced we were expecting. It was great to see the reactions of Brad and Carol and Grandma and Grandpa Kunz.
We are truly blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives who love and support us. Seeing how excited everyone gets when we tell them our news, we get that much more excited ourselves.
It was a great weekend.We had a wonderful time and are looking forward to many more years together!

Here are a few pictures. I am sad we didn't take more, especially with us in it...next time. 
Our little "bean"!


Our delicious, not so healthy breakfast
We had some nice seats. Closer then last time.


We had been talking about hitting up Krispy Kreme in Orem every time we pass by...we finally stopped.



Our cake top after one year! Thanks Nanette and Bud for storing it and also bringing it up.

It was pretty decent. The cake tasted good, but the icing was WAY to sweet for me.
