Well here we are just starting september. Wow can you believe that it is september already?? We sure can't. Much has happened already and its only the third. Lets see oh BYU won today. Epic win :D Kelsie and I have started school once again. This is probably going to be Kelsie's last semester for a while. Since she will be in her last trimester we both thought that it would be wise that she take that time off from school in preparation for the baby. We are really excited!!! as you can tell from the picture we are excited. Oh yeah we have to let you all know how our vacation was..........................#1 FReAKING AWESOME!!!!
It really was a blast it was a nice basically 5 day relaxation, adventure-cation we've wanted for some time now. We flew out on the 17th of August and got to pick up a nice nissan versa for our rental car.
We got some food and relaxed the rest of the day.
Thursday the 18th was awesome. We went to Six Flags Magic Mountain, a place Alex has wanted to go for the longest time. Kelsie was a little under the weather but went on as many rides as her tummy could handle. Our first ride of the day as the park opened was Colossus, the awesome two track old white coaster. It was sick needless to say and a great way to start the day off. Not to mention we were the first and only riders. :) Next was Scream that one was pretty cool and mind blowing. It was a hanging coaster that had some really nice loops and cork screws and was really exciting..once again the only riders ;) yeah we're just that amazing. Then it was on to Goliath that was awesome and scary :) haha we took a break and rode the swashbuckler... it was a swing and well spinny. We went on Batman the ride, Alex went on Riddler's Revenge, then unto Apocalypse, then Alex went on Tatsu which to him was the SECOND BEST ride of the entire trip. It was a flying coaster and was pretty amazing to watch I recommend watching the POV on youtube for it. Then after a $20 lunch of two slices of pizza (ouch that was ridiculous!!) it was onto Superman, Escape from Krypton, now that was THE BEST number one ride of the entire trip for Alex. Combine being shot backwards at 100 mphs then going up 40 stories and free falling back down = AAAAAwwwwsome! hah it was pretty epic and sounded like a plane taking off! Yea needless to say it was awesome!! On friday we ventured to Knott's Berry Farm. Kelsie was feeling much better and went on all the rides that Alex did. We started out slower than at Six flags and just enjoyed our time walking around. We went on Sierra Sidewinder, Montazuma's Revenge, La Revolution and Jaguar were just the start of our day. We ate lunch which wasn't bad and Kelsie actually ate a hotdog and didn't get sick at all, I was so proud of her! Especially since she got up the nerve to go on the Xcelerator right after we finished eating!! She will agree it was THE BEST ride she went on for the entire trip and I'm glad she enjoyed it! ( I'd totally go on it again it was a blast) The it was onto the Boomerang, Silver Bullet and Wind Seeker-Knott's newest attraction that boasts a swing that sends you up 301 feet to view the surrounding area all the while spinning you around and around... did we mention you're up 301 feet? Then to relax we watched Happiness is Snoopy on ice and picked out our souvenirs.
Saturday we went to the San Diego Temple...o my heck we where in HEAVEN almost literally. The highlight of our trip and here is why. So That Saturday marked the Saturday we got married although it was the 20th. We had wanted to get there for the very first session but enjoyed our sleep to much. It was a two hour drive from were we where in Torrance so we eventually got down there and made it to the 11 o clock session. It was a very special time for us because we were sealed in the Bountiful Temple for time and all eternity at around 10:30 am. When we left the session we soaked up the joy and happiness of it all. San Diego is the temple we had originally wanted to be sealed in but Bountiful was the better option for many reasons. :) We had finally made it to "our temple", especially because in our home we have more pictures of the San Diego Temple then the Bountiful temple.
A year later, we still love each other and we will have a new member in March to share our blessing and love with. Life is good and our marriage is one that will always make us say "Adventure is out there!"
Love,
Alex&Kelsie
So I had my second doctor's appointment today and I was nervous. Alex and I were told last time we might not be able to hear a heat beat because it could be too soon. So we got checked in and waited for my doctor. My doc pulled out the pocket doppler and said "Alright let's see if we can hear it." As I lay there I was excited but nervous and Alex was excited too but didn't show it at first. My heart beat was found pretty quickly and was loud and my doc said "Now we might not hear it..." and as he was searching he finally caught it. It was faint at first but then got it more pinpointed. It was so magical!! I was so excited!! I looked over at Alex and we had the biggest smile on his face! :)
