Baby!!!

We are finally having a baby! Brit is about 4 months along and things are going really well so far. Baby Roberts is due around October 6th. We are excited and nervous for this adventure. We feel so blessed for this opportunity to become parents. In about a month we will be able to find out if we are having a boy or a girl, so we will keep everyone posted!

Devin & Michelle's Wedding

On Friday, April 10th, my little brother Devin got married. Thursday we picked up my aunt Julie from the airport (2 visits in 3 months!!!) and drove up to Blackfoot. We had a fun night of visiting and enjoying spending family time together. Friday morning we went to Idaho Falls Temple, where Dev & Michelle were sealed. It was really a cool experience to see my little brother married. After that, there were pictures, a really yummy luncheon, and more pictures as we got ready for the reception that evening. It was so fun to see so many friends and family members that we don't get to see very often! Devin looked so handsome and Michelle was beautiful. They are a cute couple. Although it is weird that my little brother is married, we are so happy to have Michelle in the family!

Family Visit!

This week my Aunt Julie and my cousins Michael and Angelia came for a visit. It was SOOO fun! I haven't seen them for years and I don't think I realized how much I missed them! They came in on Wednesday night and picked me up in Logan on their way home. On Thursday we got to go to lunch with my Grandma Barbara (who I don't see enough). Then we had a mini family reunion that night at my parent's house. Friday, we got to go to Jackson Hole and wander around. We did "dares" like we were all little kids again! I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. We stopped for square ice cream at our favorite convenient store. It was freezing cold and not the best time for ice cream, but it is a family tradition we just couldn't pass up. Saturday we had a beans and rice cookoff- it was Zac's Brazilian beans vs. my Aunt's Puerto Rican beans. I think it was a tie! They were both delicious!!! We just had a nice day on Sunday and then they left Monday morning. What a fun time! Just want them to know how great they are!!

Brit's Birthday

It was Brit's birthday yesterday and we are both glad to be old enough to rent cars at the "responsible adult" price. (we never have taken advantage of that privilege)

We weren't able to celebrate much on her birthday because you know who was at school all day and at work all night. Some husband I've turned out to be. In my own defence we did go to dinner at Iggy's with Eric and Andrea Ruben the night before to celebrate. I also got her some things to help keep her busy when I'm not home at nights and also to encourage her new interest in quilting.

Les Miserables

This entry is about a year in the making. For the last year I have been reading the novel by Victor Hugo Les Miserables. Though it hasn't been regularly read (mostly at work) it has taken me that long to get through it. I also need to mention that the book I read was the unabridged version and was a total of 1200 pages. I enjoyed reading the book though it was a little slow in parts. Hugo likes to throw a lot of philosophy and history in to help appreciate the story. It helps in parts but others just seems to drag on. Well, I gues I can get to the point I was trying to make to begin with. I FINALLY FINISHED! It happened a week ago. After I read the last line I closed the book and said "Hmm, that was a good book.", and just thought about it for a while.

I picked up Les Miserables after reading the unabridged Count of Monte Cristo (As of yet my favorite book) and thought since The Count was 1400+ pages that Les Mis would be just the same walk in the park. It wasn't. But both were excellent books. That is probably why they call them Classics.

OK- So we are really bad at this! However, not a lot is going on in our lives. Zac is enjoying school and working really hard at it. Basically, he works and goes to school, and does homework. We do find time to have a little fun. We went to a USU hockey game recently. It was fun-lots of fights! Plus USU won so thats a bonus. I have also just been working. I am enjoying my new job and especially my weekends off! We are excited for the holidays to see all of our family! Plus there will be more going on, which means more to write in the blog!
