Well the time has come to start expanding the Morley clan. No, none of Nate's siblings are getting married yet... I'm talking about our little Morley clan. Yes, that's right. We are pregnant! The baby is due January 10th. I am just about 17 weeks along. We don't know what we are having yet and our next doctor's appointment isn't until August 14th and then they will schedule the ultrasound. We are anxious to find out what "kind" of baby we are having. Although it's probably the best for our bank account that I don't know yet or I would be out shopping all of the time.
I have really been lucky and not gotten very sick. I've gotten stomach aches, and only thrown up once (knock on wood). I should be past that stage now. I'm just exhausted! I cannot get enough sleep. I go to bed early, sleep in when I can, and still need to take a nap! I've heard that it's ok to sleep as much as you can on the first one because you probably won't get that luxury later on so I am taking full advantage.
I know it's almost unheard of to wait so long to tell people. We just told our families last weekend and they are very excited. My sister-in-law Sylvia posted this on her blog about five minutes after we told them! :) It's been fun to having it as our little secret and our little inside joke. It has been seeming more real though now that we've been telling. I hope that no one is offended that we didn't call to tell you, but it's a little easier making one general announcement. Please forgive us!

Happy Birthday Nate!
Ok so this is a day late. I didn't get a chance to post yesterday, but Happy Birthday to my amazing husband! I really can't say enough about how lucky I am to have found such a great guy. We get along so well and I love spending as much time as I can with him. I hope that he had a good day yesterday because if any one deserves it, it's him.
I made my first attempt at a birthday cake. Don't look too closely because there are alot of flaws. It was my first experience with fondant. It actually turned out better than I thought. It's made out of marshmellows, which is a lot cheaper and tastes better than the other kind of fondant. I just googled marshmellow fondant for the recipe. Hopefully with some practice I'll get a little better.

My How Time Flies!!
I cannot believe it has been over a month since I have posted. I think I get caught up in reading everyone else's blogs that I forget that people are probably curious about how we are doing. Well it has been a pretty full month but not a whole lot has happened of great significance. Work as usual has kept us busy. We've had a couple of nice weekends with family though.
A week ago we went up to Solitude with Nate's family and extended family and stayed in some condos. It was a very nice weekend and very relaxing. My weekend was almost ruined by jury duty, but luckily the case was settled and I didn't have to go in. No need to worry though my name gets put back in the random drawing so I may still get my chance! Thanks to the Buntings for a fun weekend! It was full of good food, games, swimming, and we even busted out some glow sticks. Who knew glow sticks could be so much fun?
Our 4th was too short. We went up to Paris, Idaho with my family to our property. I had to work until 6 pm on Thursday so we didn't get up there until super late. Nate and I both had to work on Saturday so we had to drive home on Friday night. It was lots of driving for only 24 hours. But it was fun. We just relaxed, played some games and even hit the parade in Paris. (Which was surprisingly bigger than we expected for such a small town - Hannah and Sylvia got quite the bag of candy.) On our drive home we went through Evanston, WY. We got to the outskirts of town at about quarter to 10 and from horizon to horizon all you could see were fireworks, tons of fireworks. I don't think they even do city fireworks. They just set off their own. As we drove through town there was a park that was packed with people and left and right they were just shooting fireworks off. It was unbelievable. I tried to get some pictures with my camera phone but the flash was not cooperating. I just thought that people went across the UT/ID border to get fireworks - but I'm pretty sure the town of Evanston pays a pretty penny for all of those fireworks.
I hope everyone had a Happy 4th of July!
