Prego

Oh my oh my. Being prego is not very much fun.  This little one is making me so sick! Heck i don't have morning sickness i have "all dang day long" sickness! Thank goodness for Zofran it at least helps me not puke my guts out all morning, but still feel uneasy.  Especially when driving-- not a good idea!  So i am hoping and praying that i don't have this for the whole pregnancy! I am 9 weeks and my clothes are starting to fit a little snug.  I'm just to the point where i just feel a little flabby but no one can tell.  It's still exciting despite the sickness-  My mom and dad are going to be first time grandparents and tadd's mom and dad will have their fourth grandchild- first one from Tadd, And my mom's parents will be first time great grandparents!  So baby atchley will be a first of a lot of things!! It's kinda of weird to think that there's a little person growing inside me and every once in awhile i kinda have a freak out-- but wow i have been wanting to be a mom for awhile and i think that tadd and i are going to make great parents!  I feel so fortunate that Tadd has such a great job and that we have insurance and that this baby is going to be properly provided for.  its such a blessing.  We are excited for this future that we have coming for us!!!

The New Little one!

OUR MERRY CHRISTMAS PRESENT!!

This year Tadd and I had a great gift to give everyone!  We are expecting our first baby August 6th!! I am 8 weeks and have been so super sick but it will all be sososososo worth it!  We are so excited to start our family!  It was fun surprising our parents with a new grandbaby Especially my parents who will be first time grand parents! It's such a great blessing and we can't wait to find out what we will be having!!!  Merry Christmas!!!

Santa Clause is coming to TOWN!!!

Christmas Eve!  What an exciting day!  All the hustle and bustle to get the last of your list finished! it's so exciting!  This morning i woke up and got started making my christmas plates for our friends and family.  This year my mom and I decided to try something different from the normal homemade goodies.  Caramel Apples! First of all my mom is the best caramel maker in all the land, and well i'm a good shopper so together we made some magic! haha.  They are so cute and festive, however not the funnest to make!  it's super messy and takes some time before you can put one down because all the caramel runs off until it's set.  but it's all done now and looks great!  I would have taken a picture but they are all delivered and {hopefully} almose gone! 
 We have some great neighbors and wonderful friends and amazing family.  tadd and i are so blessed to have all that we do and we are thankful for it everyday.  Sister Tia J. Atchley is doing so well on her mission!  It's already been two months and she is so busy sharing the gospel and making friends she hardly has time for us!  We definetly miss her, especially this time of year, but the girl is so happy and you can tell that she is having the time of her life!  My mom and dad and three brothers are amazing people and are so supportive.  i am so happy to be able to see them everyday and for their example to me. i love them so much.  Tadd's family is so great to!  his parents are so kind and would do anything for us. Tuc, Cynthia, Aspyn, Max, and Jett are such a cute family and are a great example to tadd and i with our future.
Most of all i am so thankful for the Savior.  His birth was a beautiful gift to all of us. My goal for this upcoming year is to remember the Savior and what he stands for all year round instead of just at Christmas time.  This Christmas i hope everyone has their friends and family near to them and a wonderful, memorable Holiday full of the Spirit of Christ.

Back At It

So I'm finally back!  My blog had some issues so i had to redo it and start over but all is well now.  Things are going great in life! Tadd and I have been having fun hanging out with family and each other a lot now since he's been home.  This summer was so crazy with his work and he was gone all summer!  I have graduated from Paul Mitchell and am now working at The Judy Shope so if you need anything done give me a ring! I love being able to make my own schedule and love doing what i do.  Tadd is still going strong with Atchley Line Builders and it's truely a blessing to have such a great job that supports us.  We will be going back and forth from Montana to here because of jobs up there but hopefully just for the remainder of the winter.  It's amazing how life changes so fast and trying to keep up with it is an adventure! This time of year is my favorite! I love everthing about it and love the spirit that lingers!
Tia gets to call home for Christmas! (she is tadd's little sister who is serving a mission in St. George Utah).  What an inspiration she is! Her testimony is blessing our family so much and we are so proud of her!
Well now that i am back in the scene i will be better on keeping up with it!
