Applegate's

We were married in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple December 2005. Since then we have had many adventures: studying at Thammasat University in Bangkok, Thailand, visiting my family in the Dominican Republic, Kade was a Huntsman Scholar and traveled to Paris, Brussels, London, Washington D.C. and New york. We have a two year old little girl that keeps me busy. She is such a little diva princess. Both of us graduated from USU. Kade received a double Bachelor's in International Business and Economics. Amanda graduated in Sociology. Kade is now working towards an MBA at BYU.

A Final Baby Shower

My Dad's side of the family threw me a baby shower on Saturday. We had lots of fun eating yummy food, giving advice with candy bars then playing the candy bar game. Can you believe this is what our drive looked like through the canyon in April
All the girls went in together and gave me this stroller and carseat, carrier set. They also put together a really cute diaper cake.
We are very ready for our Annie to come, now it is just a waiting game!

Finally Spring

Now that we have some spring weather in Logan we have been able to get out of our apartment and enjoy the outdoors. Friday we had a campfire with friends and made yummy tin foil dinners. Then yesterday we went fishing, not a lot of luck but hopefully the nice weather keeps up so we can try again soon before this little baby decides to come.

Happy Birthday

I had a fabulous birthday! Sami and I went to Cafe Rio for lunch and then to the mall to pick out a cute necklace. Later Kade and I went to Olive Garden for dinner, Cold Stone for a treat and rented surfs up. It was a very yummy and relaxing day. Thanks to my wonderful husband for making it a great day and everyone else who wished me a happy birthday.
Kade gave me season 2 and 6 of Gilmore girls, I now have the entire set. My parents sent a necklace and earings made out of the stone Larimar native to Dominican Republic, it is very pretty.

A Shower of Firsts





On Saturday Lucy and Sami threw me a very fun shower. We had to guess baby foods by smelling or for the brave tasting. Sami won the prize for that. The favorite was decorating onesies. I have some very cute original onesies for baby Annie to wear. I received a lot of really good gifts for all of baby's firsts. I was very excited to get a blanket my grandma spent many hours making. We are more than ready for this baby to come!

Bedding Set

I finally got the bedding set I ordered for the crib and I love it. It is so soft! I love getting everything ready for little Annie. We also got a dresser/changing table to match the crib. The nursery is coming together, we just need our little girl to get here. We are really excited!

Annie's Crib

After a lot of looking at stores and online we finally purchased a crib for our little Annie on the way, I am very excited about it. Kade spent his evening putting it together for us last night and he did a very good job. I wasn't much help so it took him about 2 hours, too bad we don't live closer to family so he could have had better help. Now I just need to find a mattress and bedding set, yay more things for me to look at online!

Valentines Weekend

Our Valentines started on Friday at our stakes sweethearts dinner and dance. We enjoyed a yummy catered dinner and spending a date night together. Afterwards we went to coldstone for ice cream. Before we went to the dance Kade surprised me with a dozen roses and a balloon. Saturday we went out to luch at Cafe Rio (my favorite). Kade had to work at the restaurant that evening but I surprised him when he got home with homemade chocolate chip cookies, his favorite. It was a great weekend. It is crazy to think that next Valentines we will have a baby.

I finally did it!

I graduated with a Bachelors in Sociology and Minor in Family Human Development. The day turned out to be a snow storm and quite cold but I loved going to graduation. I was happy to have my mother, Kade, Sami and Camaree there to support me. To celebrate we went out to eat and my most wonderful husband gave me a pearl necklace for all my hard work. I could have never finished without him or my family. Thanks to everyone. I can't believe I am done.




Fun with Family

My mom visited for my graduation. We had a lot of fun while she was here. We ate out at the Thai restaurant in Logan and went to Twilight.
My mom loved my pregnant tummy and took a bunch of pictures.
We also had a lot of fun playing with our neice, she is so cute and happy. We can't wait for our little one soon.
