We've missed you...

Why hello there everyone =). Thanks for being patient for the past 2 months with our complete lack of blogging. We have been extremely busy with school, work, and trying to get ready for a new baby. Hopefully we will get better once graduation hits and the school year is over! How nice will that be?

So Whitney is doing really well... vomit free for over a month! She is finally starting to sprout a little belly, but not much for 6 1/2 months of pregnancy over and done with. She is very excited for spring break because she gets a week to relax and pamper herself while I take finals. Can't Alpine School District plan around our schedules so we can spend some time together? I guess not. She is really excited for this coming week though.

As for me, graduation can not come any sooner. I took a final two weeks ago for an independent study class, and ever since then, I have just felt like I am done with all of my other 14 credits. Class seems like the worst thing ever, and unfortunately I am never too prepared for them when I go. Members of my study groups are probably a little frustrated because it is totally obvious that senioritis has kicked in. Not too many of them graduate so it might be hard for them to relate. I already have a job for after school (I have worked there already for over a year... I work in the Marketing Department at Ancestry.com) and so I am just ready to start working there full-time and take on some more responsibility. Goodbye BYU!

In anticipation of graduation Whit and I have been looking for houses for the past 3-4 months. We have an excellent realtor whom we love (if anyone needs one, contact us and we'll rave about her more for you) and she has taken us all around Utah County looking for a place. We looked at a bunch of homes, some nice and some, well... not so much. After a while of searching we began to get frustrated because we were not finding anything that we loved. But then we stopped by a development in Lehi and we fell in love. It is right across the street from the new Willow Creek junior high and the development is called Jordan Willows. We secured a 1/4 acre lot a week and a half ago and construction will start within the next week or two. We have spent countless hours trying to determine what options we want our house to include, but we think we finally have everything nailed down (on paper that is... the real nailing will start shortly). So from June until the house is completed (they say it will be done in late Aug-early Sept... so we are planning for October!) Mom and Dad Wheadon have been so kind as to allow us to stay with them. They must really love us because we will be having our baby in July =). So anyway, look for tons of pictures throughout the construction process. As for now, here are a couple of pictures that we took the night that we secured the lot...

The post that we're standing by is right where our front door will be. Welcome to our home!
