Baby Healey 28 Weeks!
It is definately a perk to have a cousin who does ultrasounds because he is able to take me in and do cool 3D pictures. Here is a picture of our cute little baby at 28 weeks. Now some people might think it is creepy, but it is pretty neat what they can do. Our baby was pushed up against my uterus that is why the lips look all squished. It is hard to get a picture when they are pushed up. We are super excited for our little guy to come, and wish it would come faster. Now that I am done student teaching though I feel like I can finally get ready for him to come!!!!!

Blessing!
Ok, I never blog because I either do not have pictures, or I do not have my camera cord to hook up my camera. Even though I do not have a picture I thought I would do a new post.
Well the past couple of months have been some super busy, fun, and crazy months. I have been doing my student teaching at Lehi High School and I have loved it! I do finish this week, and even though I will miss it I am excited to be able to get ready for my baby, and have some time to actually think. CJ has been the best husband I could ask for the past couple of months. He has been working 40 hrs a week, going to school full time, and working on his instrumental rating for his flying. He was getting close to braking a record at UVU's flight program with how fast he was getting his instrument rating, but he had to take some time off this weekend to be with me while I was in the hospital, so I might have made it not possiable for him. I do appreciate him though because he is always their when I need him.
Life is very fascinating, and I love when you are able to look back and see how God has really blessed your life. These last couple of days I have experienced more miracles than I could have ever really imagined. I have had back pains lately, but I just assumed that I am pregnant and that was normal. They got to the point though on Thursday that I left teaching, and I wondered how I was going to walk. It was hurting to the point that I would put all my weight on one leg, and just limp around. I decided to call my doctor, and see maybe if their was a stretch or exercise that I could do that would maybe help with my pain. The nurse immediately asked about my symptoms, and said they wanted me to go to the hospital to get an ultrasound. She said hopefully it was just a pulled muscle, but their was a chance that it could be a blod clot. As soon as she said those words my mind started racing, and I got sick to my stomach. Being pregnant I just immediately thought of my baby, and the worst possiable scenarios came to my mind. I started to cry, and I was scared to death. I do not like to be thought of as a wimp though, so I did not want my family to see me crying, or I did not want the doctors to think here is a preganant lady who has nothing wrong with her and she is crying. I immediately said a prayer, and it was one of the most amazing things ever. I had a sense of peace come over me, and I knew I could do it. I was immediately able to stop crying. I was still scared to death, but I had a sense of feeling that I could deal with it.
I ended up going to the AF hospital. CJ was able to leave his flying, and meet me their about the same time. They ended up doing an ultrasound, and they did find that I did not have much blood flow to my leg. Their was a blood clot in my lower abdomen. They ended up admiting me to the hospital for the night. I have to admit being in the hospital with no pain medication since a pregnant lady can not have anything but Tylenol is not very fun. I currently still have the blood clot, but they have put me on blood thiners. The blood thiner I am on is called lovanox, and it is a shot twice a day. This has been another miracle because I am deathly afraid of needles, but so far I have been able to get through the shots thanks to my heavenly father.
Looking back at the last couple of months though I can see how my Heavenly Father was watching out for me. Back in August right before CJ started flying I kept thinking we should get life insurance and I would feel better about CJ flying. We ended up getting life insurance for both CJ and I. Then about a month ago we started meeting with a finacial planner to talk about our life long goals, programs we wanted to set up for our child, and etc. This finacial guy suggested that we get life insurace, and I told him that we already had it. He asked me about our policy, and he just wanted to look at it, and see if he could get us anything better. He ended up coming back to us, and told us that he was very impressed that we got life insurace before CJ started flying because now that he is was flying he could only get ridicously high insurance, so he said their was no way we could get better than what we had. I was very grateful that my Heavenly Father prompted me to get it before CJ even started to fly. He did suggest though that we change my life insurace. My current life insurace was only a ten year policy, and if something major happened to me in those ten years it would be harder and more expensive to renew my policy. He showed me a policy that was good for 80 years. The policy would require that I pay about five more dollars a month than I was currently paying, but it would be good for 80 years. I debated back and forth, and finally I figured five dollars is not very much, so I might as well get the 80 year plan. We went through all of the paperwork, blood work, and etc in order to get approved. About a week ago we found out that everything was good, and that I was accepted. Now for the miracle is now that I have a blood clot it would be extremally difficult to ever get life insurance. Not that I am going to die anytime soon I am planning on living till I am 100, but it is very comforting to know that I have it, and that Heavenly Father was watching out for me. I am just very grateful that I have the gospel in my life, and that our Heavenly Father has blessed us with the companionship of the HOly Ghost.
Sorry, this is way to long, and if you have read this far I am impressed!

Best Birthday Present Ever--"BABY BOY"
IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok I am not going to lie I have thought this whole time that I was having a baby girl. I have always wanted a baby boy first because I loved having my older brothers, but for some reason I just thought I was having a girl. I found out that I am having a baby boy though!!!! You could say that I had no mothers intuition because I was totally wrong. CJ and I are both on cloud nine though and could not be happier. Of course the first thing CJ wanted to buy was a baseball mitt for the boy, but I think that one is going to have to wait. Instead of getting a baseball mitt I thought this baby outfit would work, see below. The number on the outfit is even the same number CJ has had in college ball, so I knew I could not turn the outfit down. It is very neat to think that their is a little boy growing inside me, and we could not be more grateful. We hope everyone is doing well.
The same number as his daddy!

*** & Then Their Were Three!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I never blog, but with how excited I am with this news I thought I would blog about it!!! CJ and I are super ecstatic to announce that we are having a baby!!!!!!! You might have heard through the grapevine, but I have not officially told everyone, so now we are! We had the opportunity to see the baby and hear the ultrasound, and it was the best thing I could have ever imagined. Here is a picture!
I wish I could explain how grateful I am, but I can not even begin to. Having a miscarriage before made me really hesitant if this could really be true, but hearing the heart beat was the most amazing thing ever! I also have to thank my wonderful husband CJ because he has been the best husband I could ever ask for. He has been super patient as I have been sick, and he has cleaned, made dinner, and done more than I could ever ask for. We are super excited, and of course I am saying it is a girl, and CJ is saying it is a boy. I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season. Thanks!

Coupons!
Ok, so many people will make fun of my coupons, or really ask me if it is worth the time that I spend in couponing. I want to show my purchases that I made today to hopefully convince some people that you definately save money with coupons.
Ok my purchase that I am most proud of today is Ridleys! Here is a picture of what I purchased. I would like you to guess what the total came to! In the picture their is 10 boxes of rice krispies, 5 bags of marshmellows, and 4 sicssors.
Ok the amount I paid was $1.65!! I was actually suppose to pay .65 cents, but the cashier forgot to do one of my coupons, but I figured it was not worth going back in they could have my dollar. My savings in coupons, and promotions was $54.61!
Ok my next stop today was Walgreens. Walgreens is one of my favorite stores to get hygine type items because they allow you to stack coupons on the same item. Today I did not get to many items, but I did get one 33 loads of purex laundry detergent, I bottle of Keri lotion, 3 packages of index cards, 1 package of printer paper, 2 baby bibs, baby binkes (No I am not pregnate but when I see a deal I have to get it, 2 carmex lip balms, and 5 tab dividers. Ok here is a picture and I want to see if you can guess what I spent here?
Ok I spent $5.03. Now some people might think that is not that great but when I saved $31.00 dollars in coupons and store promotions that is definately a deal.
Ok my next stop today was Walmart. Today at Walmart I bought 2 packages of Spitz sunflower seeds, 2 bottes of shaving cream, 2 Quattro razors, 2 travel sizes of secret deoderodernt, 1 travel size of tide detergent, 1 package of sticky notes, and 1 bottle of LA looks gel. Ok once again guess the total!
Ok I spent $3.61. I also saved eight dollars in coupons.
Ok my last stop today was target! I bought 2 five star notebooks, 3 packages of trident gum, 3 packages of bic razors, 2 packages of sharpie pens, and 2 packages of paper mate pens.
The total spent at target was $4.44 with saving $16.52.
*** The grand total of what I spent today was $14.92! My savings today is $110.21!!!!!!!
Ok now you might think I am crazy for posting this. You might also think I also bought a lot of random items that I do not need on a weekly basis. Yes, I did buy a lot of random items, but I have been doing this for about a year now, and I have noticed that things go through cycles of when they are on sell. I have noticed that if I have a stock pile of am item that when I need that item and it is no longer on sell I have a stockpile which makes it so I do not have to go out and spend full price for things. You probably also noticed that I do not have many items and that is because I like to do mostly food on Tuesdays, and Wednesdays because that is when I get my best deals on produce. I am posting this so everyone can see that coupons do work, and if you ever would like help with couponing I would love to help you!

No More SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!
I finally feel like CJ and I are able to enjoy the summer. I did 9 credits in the first summer block of classes, so I was extremally busy in school. CJ was a saving angel that stayed up with me numerous of nights in order to help me finish homework. I owe him big time, but we are now able to enjoy the summer!!!!
Last 6 Months Events!
I really do not know where to begin, but I would say one of my favorite things to do this summer is to hang out with CJ, and play with the cutest boys which would by my nephews!
From the picture you can see why I love these kids to death.
CJ has been begging me for months on how he wants to go camping. If CJ had it his way we would go campping every single day, but since we are adults we do have to work:) We have been camping up Provo Canyon, and hopefully we will get to go a lot more this summer. If anyone wants to go camping just let us know. CJ is pretty excited about going camping that he even set up our tent in our house:)
Since January most of our free time was spent on watching CJ play baseball! I loved watching him play, and CJ has decided to put the clet
One of my most favorite trips since I have been little is Lake Powell! We were lucky enough to go this last week. I think one of my most favorite things about lake Powell is just having no worries and you can relax, eat, and have fun. This year the ski boat almost ran out of gas while we were tubing, so we were trying to hurry in order to get back to the houseboat. CJ stayed on the tubes, and lifted them out of the water, so they were not dragging. I do not know if it saved any gas, but it was quite fun. I have to also admit that it is no fair that boys are able to do anything on their first try's. CJ went to do the airchair, and I told my dad that he would probably not get up his first try, so to be prepared to turn the boat around. I think this made CJ mad because he he got up on his first try I think to just prove me wrong:)

Finally we have joined the Blogging world!
Life has been crazy the last couple of months with school, work, baseball, baseball, and baseball. I have wanted to create a blog, but I have never sat down to figure out how to do it. I am figuring it out now though. As you can tell I am still confused with the layout and everything.
CJ and I have been extremely busy, but we are loving life. CJ is currently finishing his last two weeks of baseball for this year, and I have started my summer semester. I really can not believe how fast time is going by. We have been married for over a year now, and we feel like it was only yesterday that we were married. I am majoring in health education. I have one more semester of classes, and then I will be able to student teach. If any of you have kept track of what I am majoring in you probably have noticed I have gone from dental hygiene, nurse, accounting, and etc. Every major I decided I never felt right about. For the first time though I feel like teaching is exactly what I am suppose to do. I am a nerd, but I love everything to do with school. I will not be surprised if I decide to get my maters in nutrition. CJ is going through the fun of trying to figure out what he wants to be but currently it is thinking flying, international business, or psychology. I am glad that I am no longer having to decide what I would like to do.
Some of our highlights lately have been watching CJ play baseball which is always fun, watching our favorite TV show BONES, going to disneyland, and just relaxing! We hope everyone is doing well!
