SURPRISE!!!

Much to our surprise, Chase and I found out that we are EXPECTING!! Crazy, I know. We weren't planning to have kids for maybe oh, like 4 or 5 YEARS... So we were definitely shocked to find out that little Baby Peterson would be here in April.

We found out we were pregnant (after Chase made me take FOUR tests) on August 30, which was the day before we left for a 4 day weekend with Chase's family. How on earth were we going to keep this a secret?? Especially since Chase is the worst secret keeper ever. (He had this whole plan to propose to me on a Friday, well he got my ring the Tuesday before and took me out that night and that was that, we were engaged!! :) Love you hunny!!) I pretty much threatened him he would have to sleep on the couch if he spilled the beans! :p Ha ha! Of course I would have given in.

We weren't really sure what to expect at our first appointment and we couldn't ask anyone because we hadn't told anyone. We got to see our little baby and hear its heartbeat! The coolest thing was seeing its tiny little heart beating through its basically transparent skin. What an exciting thing that was for us to see. We already love this little baby so much!

Isn't my husband just the handsomest?? (Is that even a word?) Hopefully this little bundle of joy gets his good looks!! :) 

Cahce Valley Cruise In 2012

Cruise In... The biggest car show in Utah. Its in Logan, Utah and 3 days long.
Chase drove his mustang up on Thursday afternoon to get a spot for his car. (Hopefully in the shade) I went up to Logan on Friday.
Thursday and Friday are the days where most people register and set up their spots, Saturday is the BIG day. The car show goes all day until the awards around 4:30. After the awards its a race to get your spots cleaned up and head on out to main street. The "Cruise" is what happens next. The entire main street of Logan is just packed with tons of people. Everybody then drives their cars up and down main street. Engines are reving, horns are honking and tires are screaming. Its so awesome that they pretty much shut down main street for about (2) hours. I can't wait until I have my car and can drive it in the cruise. :)
It was a great weekend over all. Ramaldo and Selina, and Carlos and Megan came up with their cars and spent the weekend. We all had a great time. Even though it was so stinking hott! The food at the car show is GREAT!! I am pretty sure I ate way too much!
It makes me really happy to go to the shows with Chase. He always gets so excited and is completely in his element. I love having a husband who is so dedicated to something. He is the most wonderful husband!! :) I am extremely lucky!
I am planning on a lifetime full of car shows! :) haha. YAHOO!! :)

Isn't he HANDSOME????

June 29th...

June 29, 2007. The most horrible day ever for my family. My grandpa and uncle were killed in a raging forest fire. My uncle, who could have easily ran to escape it, stayed behind and tried to cover my grandpa with his body. They passed on together. Father and son. Husband and son. Father and Brother. Grandpa and Dad. They were all of those things to my family. Their passing left a big hole in our family, but we weren't about to ever give up or fall apart. Infact, we all grew closer.
This day each year is stil so hard for each of us. Today marks the 5th year. A new fire started burning in the same exact place this week... It is seriously so heart breaking.
I am so thankful for the great family I have been blessed with... Also, for the many people who have supported my family.
With all of the fires burning in this country, I can't help but be so thankful for all of the many things I do have while so many people have lost everything.
I hope we can all take a moment pray for all those who have lost, who don't know, who need blessings. I hope we can all be selfless and do service for others.
I always tell Chase how much i wish he could have known them... they were so loving and cared so much about everyone around them. They were the most selfless men I know. I am so grateful to call them my family.

These are my heros. I love and miss them each and every day.

The start to a summer full of car shows...

Chase is probably the most dedicated, hardworking man I know. I am so proud to be his wife and of all of his accomplishments. One of his favorite (probably his most favorite) hobby's is his 1970 Mustang. It is "Calypso Coral" and his baby. At least it is a car instead of a girlfriend. :) HAHA.
Unfortunately, he wrecked the orange beauty last fall on his way to pick me up after work one night (when I told him i could just meet him at his house). Chase has a terrible record of eating while driving and this story proves my point. He spilt some dots (candy) on the passenger side floor. As he was leaning over, he started to swerve and side swiped a truck. This all happened about 100 yards from my house. Poor guy, he wsa almost in tears as he came to the door. :( This winter the stang sat for quite some time and Chase got sadder and sadder. Once it warmed up, he finally decided to get it out and fix her up!
Once it was completely restored back to perfect shape, Chase was soooooo happy! :) Which made me happy! He's just so great!
This last weekend, he had his very first show of the season and... he WON FIRST PLACE!! :) yaho! That was his very first 1st place title... Once again.. HE makes me so proud!

I am looking forward to a fun filled summer and all of the car shows I will get to go to with Chase for the rest of forever.

By the way, he did buy me a mustang that he is going to restore and paint pink! Gosh i am a lucky lady!

Life in the Peterson Household

This is a little late (7 months late) since I told Chase I was starting a blog once we got married. That was on November 11, 2011. We were sealed for time and all ETERNITY in the Logan, Utah temple. THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE!

So here we are... June 18, 2012 and happy as can be! :) We have a little Shorkie puppy named Paxx (Who is a holy terror, but we love him). We are both working full time and running around like crazy! Chase is a service technician for Moxie Pest Controland I am working at Gate City Real Estate and Peterson Law Office. I plan to attend ISU in the fall, enrolled in the Dental Assisting Program.
Chase and I are living in Blackfoot, Idaho in a super cute little house. We painted it exactly how we wanted it and have made everything perfect. We couldn't be happier.
We are so thankful for all of our blessings and look forward to a happy future together making more memories.
