My life....

2011-12-14T23:14:00.001-08:00

It has been too long since I have updated anything on here! I need to fix my blog up a bit more. So... It's been crazy as usual. Nick just got done with finals. ;) he starts his student teaching full time at Herriman high. And then he will graduate this spring!!!!! Yay. Hopefully he teaches at Herriman. I would love to live out there. Nick is getting his health minor as well, so he will be a PE teacher as well as a Health teacher ( if he wants.) then he also wants to coach! How fun. I can't wait to see all of this happen. Down the road he will get his masters and become a principal. So many options!!! As for me... I'm getting a lot busier with doing nails, I babysit a 2 month old 10 crazy hours a day, and busy with holidays and Christmas shopping. Not to mention... Black Friday I won 400 dollars! I was a bit excited. :) so shopping has been greatly done! As for my beautiful daughter Ariah, she is growing way too fast. She turns 8 months on the 26 th. And she is finally teething. Poor thing. She crawls now, very vocal, getting a fun personality, and is always a happy baby. We love her so much. Were excited for our first christmas as a family. That's it so far.

This past week Klorissa came up from Arizona and spent the week here in Utah. We had such a fun time. We went to Archibalds restaurant for Kylee's 22nd Birthday, walked around Gardner Village with all the kids and played all week long. I cant believe my parents have 6 grandaughters , but We are finally excited to say that BreeAnne and Kylee are both due with boys in January and February. We cant wait to meet them. Our family is growing so FASt!!!

So, a lot has been going on in our crazy busy life. We just got back a couple of weeks ago from Yellowstone and Jackson Hole Wyoming. It was a great trip. We went last year around the same time and decided to do it again. This time we had our little Ariah with us. We drove to Jackson Hole first and stayed in this nice hotel that was right in the middle of Jackson. This is where we did some shopping and browsing around. I could not believe how many stuffed animal heads were on those walls in there. It was pretty fun to see. :) The weather was pretty chilled, but it was perfect. My favorite part about our stay there was the HOT freshly baked chocolate chip cookies the hotel favored there guests with. :) they had them @ 5:00 every day. That was our dessert after our long day out, then we hit the hot tub up. Great times!!!

This past weekend was the opening Archery hunt, sure enough my hubby killed a big ole buck! I am SO proud of him. The best thing about it was that he was only gone 1 night. :) We are stuffing this one for sure! Great job honey.

This has been the hardest time for me. Its crazy how life changes within seconds! Where do I even begin? Well... I will start off with some recent memories with Grandma. I worked really close to her home so on my lunch break i would go over there almost every single day. Grandma was sure to have something ready for me to eat when I got there. She was always so sweet to be cooking me something with her bad health she was in. I felt so bad that she was on her feet making me something. I would always tell her to sit down and that I can make myself something. She was always such a sweetheart and was so selfless!!! The last time I was over on my lunch break she had told me that the Doctor said she couldnt keep going in for a blood transfusion every week. She told me they were going to do open heart surgery on her. I imediately broke down into tears beacause I was hoping she would be strong enough to make it. For some reason I didnt feel that her health would pull her through. She said it so boldly as if she knew it would be her last time here. We all prayed for her! At this moment I was pregnant and about to deliver soon. I didnt think her surgery would be so prompt. The last SPECIAL moment I had with Grandma was Easter Sunday. Nick and I had gone over there and spent the whole night with them. I rubbed her back, held her hand and talked forever. I remember her telling me to stop! That she should be rubbing my back instead because I was the pregnant one. I told her of coarse not Grandma, you need it. As i grabbed her hand as it grasped mine, i never thought that would be the last time she would hold mine back! Im so so grateful that I had that last time with Grandma.

As for me, I went into the hospital to get induced Monday April 25th @ 8:30. While I was in there waiting for my labor to begin I got a phone call from Grandma. She wanted to let me know that she loved me and see how it was going. Little did I know, she was in the hospital too. She said she was waiting for the Nurses to come in and give her the IV. Crazy thing was, I was waiting for the exact same thing. I told her we were doing this together. She said she much rather be in the hospital giving birth. As for me, the next day Tuesday April 26th @ 12:30 I delivered my baby girl. :) Ariah Liefting weighing 7lbs 6 oz. 21.5in tall. That epidural worked wonders for me. I could not feel a thing! it was all great. The next day while still in the hospital, my sister called and told me that grandma wasn't doing good. her heart stopped during the surgery. It was the hardest news to hear. I broke down with tears and didnt know what to think. I just had hope that Grandma would make it through. The moment I got released from the hospital We went to go visit Grandma. She was doing a little better but sedated so she wasnt awake. It was so hard to see her like that. a couple of days went by and thats when Dad called me and gave me the news that Grandma didnt make it. I cant even tell you my emotions were CRAZY! I couldnt hold it together. A new baby is suppose to be the most precious time of your life, but when the most loved person in your life passes its REALLY hard to stay happy.

Grandma Enser We Love YOU!!!

Baby shower!

2011-04-21T10:26:00.000-07:00

This past weekend was really busy! My sister Klorissa came up and threw me a baby shower. It turned out so cute and we had a blast while she was here. We went and got pedi's and facials with BreeAnne and Klor, did lots of shopping, and got things ready for baby Ariah.
Saturday was the baby shower and it turned out great! Thanks again to all those who came and supported me and Ariah. :) She got the cutest outfits and the most darling high chair and stroller!!! I cant believe how much you did for me Klor. You are amazing!!! Thanks again. I will have to post some pics of the shower and all the cute things.
As for now, I just had my doctor's appt. yesterday and I am dilated to a 2 now. My doctor said she has dropped a lot more and my cervix is looking ready. :) In that case, I am getting induced this monday! They are starting my cervical ripening Monday @ 8PM and I will stay over night until I go into labor. I cant believe how soon she will be here. Im getting really nervous and tons of mixed feelings. I still cant believe Im having a BABY! It makes me feel better kbowing that Nick is super excited and not nervous at all. I think I am so scared because Im going through it all. I know it will all be okay and I cant wait to hold her in my arms and finally meet her.

My Baby cake

2011-04-02T07:19:00.000-07:00

This last Thursday my work threw me a baby shower! They took me to the Olive Garden and spoiled me with gifts and this cute baby cake. . They got me a lot of stuff from my registry and a super cool boppy pillow for feeding. I cant wait to actually use her stuff. Im getting excited and super nervous at the same time. I hope that I can be a great mother. Its crazy to think my life is NEVER going to be the same with this new child. Nick is super excited as well. We are excited to be new parents.

Ariah's crib!

2011-03-22T12:01:00.000-07:00

We finally got Ariah's crib up. Im getting so excited for her to come out! Im already finding myself buying her more things than me. :)

2011-03-05T10:25:00.001-08:00

It was the cutest thing! When we went in to for the 4D Ultra sound, my baby had the hicups. You could see it on the screen. It was amazing to see such details of her. we saw her heart beating, her little tummy hicupping, and her amazing facial features. She was being stubborn at first though. She did not want to show her face. She was nestled into my Uterus so you couldnt see her face. It was the cutest thing. So the technician said that we had to try to irritate her to switch her around to a better position. I drank some really cold water and layed on my side for a while and that seemed to help. :) She finally warmed up to us after I started talking to her. She has such cute little features. Her nose looks a little big only because her face was smashed up against my tummy, she has chunky cheeks and really thick hair. What an amazing experience. We cannot wait to see her in person and have her as apart of our lives. We are very grateful that most of all she is healthy and everything seems to be going just great! We love you Ariah. There is one picture where she is half smiling. That was after I was talking to her. It was so precious!!!

23rd Birthday

2011-03-05T09:01:00.000-08:00

So Feb. 28th was my Birthday! Nick spoiled me rotten. I love him so much and so grateful for him. My Birthday was on a Monday this year so I took the day off work. I woke up to Nick surprising me with a birthday card... and in my card it said "get ready, you have a 10:00 Apt. We did a 4d Ultra sound!!! It was the most amazing experience. With that 4D Ultra sound, it came with a maternity massage. I cant wait to use it. After the Ultra sound, nick took me out to breakfast and then later my mom took me out to lunch. Later that night nick had another surprise for me. He got me a 42" plasma TV for my room. He is so thoughtful. It will be nice to have a tv in our room with the baby. :) Thanks for my Birthday Nick. I love you. Not to mention the Sunday before I had a family party and again Nick surprised me with an AMAZING Ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. He really listens to details when I talk. I love it.

I am slacking on my blog, lets update... Well, our 1 year Annv. passed February 11th. We decided to go to Vegas. It was nice to get out of this cold weather and see some sunshine for once. We had a really good time. We left Friday the 11th and drove straight there. We stayed in a nice suite @ the Hilton hotel. We couldn't do alot being pregnant, but We did walk around the strip, went out to Olive garden (our Favorite) and did a little shopping. Nick really liked the lion exhibit @ the MGM Grand and we camped out a lot in our hotel. :) having our last alone time before the baby comes.
We left Vegas Sunday and the next day was Valentines! I woke up to Nick making me breakfast and had a cute stuffed bear, chocolates, and roses on the table. It was really sweet of him. Later that night I made hime fondue in candle light and had dinner. After, we HAD to watch the Bachelor. It has been a great month so far. next Monday is my Birthday so i will have to blog next about how that goes. My pregnancy is going great and we are just counting down the days!!! As of now, I am 30 weeks along. Only 10 weeks to go. :)

2010-12-06T18:34:00.000-08:00

Wow... I have not blogged for a while now. A lot has been going on in my life. I have been so busy working and doing other things. I finally posted my ultra sound pics! This morning we went in to find out what I was having. :) Nick wanted a boy and thought it was a boy, and I guessed a girl. And sure enough... were having a little girl!!!! I am so excited. I cant believe im having a baby. Things have happened so quickly in my life that its so sureal that im still pregnant. My due date is May 1st. So only 4 months away. We are so blessed to have a new one in our lives. I knew I was suppose to have a girl. Who else am I going to take shopping with me? Nick hates it. Ha... Nicks face was the funniest thing ever when the technician said it was a girl. Only because we made a bet that whoever was wrong had to change diapers for a month straight. We are both truely happy to start a family together and begin another chapter in our lives. As for now, I still work full time at Diamond Rental, Nick is still going to school full time and only has 3 semesters left of school. Once he graduates, we plan on moving into our own house! Im so excited to see what the future brings. :) I love life and cant wait for my little Ariah to come out and play with us. And once again... the 6th grandaughter for my parents. ha ha... its totally an Enser thing.

This past week Nick and I went to the KISS concert. I never thought I would go to a rock concert, but I got free tickets from this lady I work with. So I thought why not? It was the funnest most entertaining concert We have ever been to. I loved it!!! They had fireworks shooting out of there guitars, fire on the stage, water spraying out, and of course the scary part where the main guy had blood coming out of his mouth. I looked at Nick several times like.... ? and Im getting a little creeped out. Ha ha... great times! Here are some of the pics. We also decided to dress like the 80's and we were definately out placed by all the other creeps there. I wanted to look a little rough and do dark makeup on my eyes, but you cant even tell. :)

Thanks Lace for throwing me my friend Bridal Shower. Having an open house was smart. Thanks to all those who came. I am thankful for your support. You have no idea how much that means to me! And thank you for your great gifts . :) See you all on my big day. Ah.... So CRAZY!!! less than 3 weeks away. I never thought this day would come for me. It still has not hit me yet. Doing my bridals the other week I felt like a bride, but the actual wedding day? WOW! Cant wait. Hopefully my bridals turn out. I did some on a horse. Ha ha... So much fun yet so scary in my white wedding dress and the freezing cold. At one point I thought I was going to get bucked off. ha... you should have seen me. I almost started crying. :) The whole time i was hoping the horse wouldn't take a crap cuz my dress fell right over its tail. I will post them soon!!!

This last Saturday January 16th was my Bridal Shower. It was so much fun! Thanks MOM for ALL you did and thanks to everyone for my wonderful gifts. I Love them all. We played a couple of games, ate, and opened presents. And Thanks Karen for the empty box! Her card said... I looked high and low and everywhere for this but I thought, DUH!!! Nick was sitting right by me and said... its Nothing. its your birthday suit. :) Ha ha. I was laughing so hard, only because Nick's face lit up when I opened it. He also had to kiss me for every bow in my hair. He is such a good sport!!!
