Happy 26th Birthday Josh :)

12/30/2010 was Josh's 26th Birthday. We woke up and he opened presents before we each headed off to work. We got to go down to Orangeville that night for a long weekend with his side of the family. We celebrated 5 birthdays (Josh, Cannon, Chewy, Liz, and Connor), had a big celebration, and also celebrated Christmas with all the siblings that weren't in Orangeville on Christmas. It was a lot of fun and good to see everyone. Our nephew, Cannon got baptized on Saturday which was awesome; and our other neice, Kaylie, is getting baptized next Saturday. There is always something going with the big Sharp family.

Oh and I almost forgot! While we were in Orangeville I had my first hunting experience! Hard to believe I know. I tagged along with Josh & his brother on the last day of the Elk hunt. Unfortunately, we didn't get much of anywhere in the mountains because it was after the snowstorm and the truck couldn't make it too far. But regardless, at least I can now say i've been hunting.

Christmas 2010

Christmas is the best time of year....I think most of us agree. We had our annual Chistmas Eve party with the Stapley's. We opened presents at our place Christmas morning....then went and did Christmas at my parents house & had the big Christmas dinner at gma & gpa Pete's. So fun. Christmas is the best. And.....next Christmas we'll be a family of 3 :)

I'm 20 weeks....yahoo! You can see below I finally have a little baby bump. I was very excited to be 20 weeks so that we could find out the gender of our little one. The ultrasound was crazy for us. It was incredible to see our little baby on the screen. The ultrasound tech had a hard time getting good pictures because our baby is a mover. But we did find out the gender.....we are having a BOY!!! Due May 10th, 2011 :) :)

Ugly Sweater Reunion

My high school group of friends FINALLY got together for a little Ugly Sweater Party Reunion. It was great to see everyone. We had a good time....however neither Josh or I won the ugly sweater contest. Let's just hope we can all get together again soon...hint hint guys ;) 4 years is way too long!

My hubs is a graduate!

Yay! Josh is now officially done with his Bachelor's Degree! I couldn't be happier and of course, he couldn't be happier to be done with this chapter. He got his Bachelors of Science & Biology at UVU. He's like me though....he's spent his college career at Snow College, Utah State University, and finally Utah Valley University. To celebrate I hosted a family dinner at our place. It turned out good, but you don't realize how little space you have until you're trying to fit 15 people in comfortably for dinner. And being a lame-o I forgot to take a few pictures.

Unfortunately, Josh doesn't get to be in the clear yet. Getting his Bachelor's is only one step in his final goal....graduating from Dental School. We're still waiting to hear back from all the school's he has applied to. We are unsure of all the details of our future for the next few years but we know at some point its going to involve Dental School. Yay for more school ;) We just keep telling outselves it will all be worth it in the end!

New York City

I'm am the luckiest girl. For my graduation, as well as my aunts (she got her Masters) she took all of the girls on a trip to NYC! I was super excited and got to cross it off my life's to do list. We stayed in a hotel right next to Times Square.

We did lots of shopping, of course.

We saw the Statue of Liberty....freezing!

Took a tour all around the city, saw Harlem, museums, Central Park, Ground Zero, Empire State Building, Chinatown, Little Italy, etc. etc.

Went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Shopped at Macy's (Nations biggest deparment store).

Ate dinner in Little Italy, fabulous.

Met lots of funny people.

Here are a fraction of the pictures:

Bad Romance

So I had to share this, because it was so entertaining to me. I was watching The Sing Off and this all male group did a song to Lady Gaga's 'Bad Romance'. Love loved it, made me smile.
