At Last!!

I finally went to MOAB!!! In my 5 years of living in Utah, I have never gone before. It was absolutely breathtaking there!! It was sort of a long day of driving but it was so worth it. Pictures do not even come close to doing it justice. It is amazing there!!

She is here!!

Thanks for all those who left me a comment, letting me know they read my blog! I promise I wasn't fishing for comments but it is nice to know that someone reads every now and then. I had an idea for a post earlier in the week but now I can't remember what I was going to write about. So, I will just leave it at this:

A week ago today, I got a call at 3 in the morning from my sister. She was very calm and nonchalant. She informed me that her water had just broken. YAY!!! A few hours later they were in the hospital, waiting on their baby girl. Val dialated pretty slowly and was in labor for about 8.5 hours before getting an epidural. All in all, she was in labor for around 13 or 14 hours. In the meantime, I was going crazy and stayed up to date via texts from mom and Val's hubby. Then, a few hours later, a beautiful baby girl was born! She was a bit stubborn and had to be suctioned out, but she arrived!! She was born on May 8, a day before Mother's Day. She weighed 6 lbs 14 oz. She is beautiful!! Mom, Dad, and baby are doing great!! After much deliberation and waiting, her name was decided on. Her name is Jessica Lilly Taylor (3 middle names). I cannot wait to meet her next month!!!!!!!


The happy little family!!



Jessica Lilly Taylor-She is so perfect!!

Here ya go

It has been a long time since I have blogged...but that is ok because nobody reads it anyway, at least I don't think anyone does. Where to start for an update???

Everything is going well. I just finished coaching a Kindergarden soccer team for the last month or so. It was so much fun! I cannot wait to coach again. Coaching is harder than I expected but it was fun and my little kiddos sure improved a lot each game. I'm still working the same job and I love it, although it is very challenging at times. It has been one of the best experiences of my life and I will be sad when it ends. Speak of ending, I am considering a move at the end of the summer. It will be very hard to leave Utah but I feel like it is the right thing to do and I am ready for a big change...scared but exctied! I will miss my friends so much though. They have been my family during the 5 years I have been so far from home. I have met some of the most amazing people out here, as well as built on other friendships from before. I will miss it a lot.

I have been putting together a book for my Grandpa's birthday. The letters people have written him are amazing, he is such a wonderful man. He has touched the life of so many people. I cannot wait for our family reunion this summer. And in even more exciting news....my sister is SOOOO close to having her baby! She has just over 2 weeks left. I can't believe it. I am so excited! My nieces and nephews are the best things in the whole world and I cannot wait to meet this perfect little girl. Plus I am ready for a little vacation! Anyway, here is my update. Life is good! Warmer weather would be nice but I will be patient....
