Scott, Kim, and Addie visit

So today Derek and I finally got an Internet connection so I can update the blog. We have been procrastinating until we got our new computer! It looks a little like this:

Our keyboard isn't as small though. It is in proportion to the monitor. Then to make things even better in our apartment we bought a book case and then my parents surprised us with a flat screen TV and a blue ray player for our late Christmas gift! We are loved and spoiled and so grateful for the wonderful families we have.

So they only exciting thing that has happened lately is that my brother and his wife and cute little baby came to visit for his spring break. It was so much fun. For the first time in a long time I felt that there was something to do. Here are some pictures of my adorable niece, Addie.


She loved the thin mints. She even gave me a kiss because I gave her one.

She is my favorite!

So other than that nothing exciting is happening. Derek is doing well in school and adjusting fine. Work is boring but I survive.

P.S. Getting excited for summer and general conference!

  1. We loved getting to see you guys so much! And don't worry, there's a lot less drama when you're best friend is your husband, so I wouldn't stress about finding other ones:) If only we were closer, then we could hang out!!!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy your holiday season. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So the past couple of days I have really been thinking about how I can reflect the true meaning of Christmas in my home. We live in a small two bedroom apartment and there isn't much room to decorate. This morning I was watching the video Wise Men Still Seek Him   and felt inspired to create a printable for my home. It's a good reminder to not only seek Him this time of year but thr

Big News!

So this is big news for the Power family. I know many of you know a million other people who are currently pregnant but before you roll your eyes and skip over this post completely (ha), read on and hear a little bit about our story. I am currently 20 weeks pregnant. We just found out yesterday that we are expecting a baby girl. She is due to enter this world on January 3, 2012. So far she is healthy and growing strong. She is growing about a week ahead of schedule. Maybe she'll come early...like before the end of the year. Derek and I will celebrate our 3rd anniversary on the 16th of January...so not too long after our sweet girl is born. A little about us: Derek: One of the things I love most about Derek is how patiently he accepts trials in his life. He always has such a good atitude about what life has handed him. When he was 11 or 12 he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Then at age 19 he was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer.  He has now been in remission for 5

Please Tell Me...

Please tell me you guys have done this before because I just can't be the only one. This has happened twice to me now and I just feel ridiculous about it. I am shopping and Brooklyn is in her carseat sleeping and the diaper bag is in the main part of the cart. I am getting my groceries and just start putting stuff in around the carseat and diaper bag. I check out, get my bags, and head out to the car. I load the groceries in the car and then take Brooklyn out to put her in the car and I find stuff I haven't paid for. It slid underneath her carseat or the diaper bag and there it is. First time, it was pie crust and the second time it was shampoo. I try to check everywhere but something always seems to slip underneath the carseat and in my hurry I just miss it. I feel so dumb but at this point Brooklyn is buckled in and I am in a hurry to get her home. For those of you with small children you know how difficult it is to repack it all and get back in there when they could wa
