I'm so sorry that I have not updated our blog for over a year now. We have been very busy this year and have a lot of new things happening for us. I am now only working one job. I work at the Cheesecake Factory in Salt Lake City as a Baker/Cashier/Curbside. We got to go to Wyoming for the 4th of July and went camping with Kyle's family. Wyoming is beautiful in the summer. We got to go back for the 24th of July also and went to a rodeo. I had so much fun at the rodeo. Kyle graduated from the Police Academy in the end of August.

After Kyle graduated he looked awhile for a job as a Police Officer but couldn't find one right away. He ended up working for Target for about 6 weeks and than got offered a position in Midvale City. He got sworn in as a Police Officer on December 6th 2010. I am so proud of him and his hard work and determination.

A few days after Christmas we decided to trade in Kyle's car and buy this one. Its a 2007 Jeep Grand Cheeroke. Its a V8 and I love love love it.We decided to buy a new car because the end of November right after Kyle found out he got the job with Midvale City, I found out that I was pregnant!!!! My due date is July 24th and we are having a Girl. My pregnancy has gone really well so far. I was only sick for the first 3 months. I was really nervous to get pregnant because of my diabetes, but I have been doing pretty well so far. The risks that come with pregnancy when you are a Diabetic are not that bad. You tend to have larger babies, so you end up having to have a C-section. I have been going to a lot of doctor appointments to try and keep my blood sugar levels down so that the baby will not be big. It has been going pretty well so far, but lately it has started changing and getting a little harder. My doctor told me that I need to be consistant in what I eat and when I wake up and what time I eat and the things I do. So I wake up now at 7:30 everyday and go to the gym and than get ready for the day. I try really hard to eat the same thing everyday and at the same time, but it's kinda hard with my work schedule, but im trying my hardest. I have had a few ultrasounds and everything is going great so far. The baby is measuring right where she needs to be and I'm doing good as well. My tummy is starting to poke out a lot and I definatly can't hide the fact that I'm pregnant anymore. I am now 23 weeks and have started feeling her move, which makes me giggle everytime.

For my niece Abby's 2 year old birthday party I made her an Elmo cake. I had a lot of fun making it. And she loved it.

That same weekend that we had Abby's birthday party, Austin and Amy also had Hayley's baby blessing. My dad was able to come that weekend and it was so fun to have him stay with us. He is such a wonderful grandpa and father.

The newest thing for Kyle and I is that we are trying to buy a new home. We are in the process of purchasing this town home in Saratogo Springs. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, a 2 car garage, laundry room with a washer and dryer, and an unfinished basement. We don't have an offical closing date yet, but we are hoping to be in there before the end of April.

Well I think thats all the main things that have taken place over this last year. Lots of new things for us. We are doing well and loving life. We are both busy and its hard to spend a lot of time together because of our work schedules, but we are happy. Kyle is done with his training and is now driving around on his own. He loves his job which makes me very happy. He also gets to drive his Police car home now so we have 3 cars parked in our driveway. I have started packing up our apartment so that when moving time comes I won't be to overwhelmed. I will try and do better with updating our blog from now on.

So I'm horrible at updating our blog, but I'll blame it on the fact that I'm working 2 jobs right now. I work as a lunch lady at East High and in the Bakery at the Fresh Market Grocery store that is down the street from where we live. Kyle is in the Police Academy and working at a treatment center for troubled teens. So we're busy, tired, and we never see enough of eachother. But we are happy and enjoying ourselves.

A lot has happened since December 7th. We went to California to have Christmas with my family. Kyle started the Academy and became obsessed with making things on his Lathe(a machine that spins wood things like a baseball bat). I've been working on controlling my blood sugar levels better, and going through a lot of test strips. I've also been coming up with a lot of projects for Kyle, most of them have to do with building me things for our home. My niece Bella turned 2 on Jan 31st. For our Valentines celebration we went to a Monster Truck Jam in Salt Lake, and Kyle realized how white trash I really am. We also had to speak in church and I actually survived. I'm terrified of public speaking but not of heights. I'd rather be in the casket at a funeral than giving the eulogy. Kyle's bother Nick and his wife Jill had their baby on Feb 12th, his name is Pixton and he is perfect. My brother Shea turned 26 on Feb 14th, Happy Birthday. My niece Staucie turned 4 on Feb 23rd. Kyle, the sweet husband that he is, let me get my hair done. I love it, and feel like a new woman. The day that I got my hair done I also got the eat at one of the new In-N-Out's that opened in Utah with my great friend Janelle. That was a great day because I didn't have to work either of my jobs and I just loved having a day for myself. Than this weekend Kyle and I went to Wyoming to visit our new nephew Pixton, and the rest of the family :)

Shea and I riding around together at the cabin, this might be my favorite thing to do with shea :)

The vase that is in the middle is my favorite, Kyle cuts out each wood piece, than glues it all together and than spins it on his Lathe. He has made more but has given them away. The small circle thing is a bracelet that Kyle made me and there are earrings to match. There were 8 different monster trucks, and it was so cool when they jumped. I screamed so much that I lost my voice.

Smoot is the town that Kyle is from, I think this sign is amazing...

Kyle is such a cute uncle, I'm so excited to see him as a father :)

We are also coming up on our ONE year anniversary. I can't believe that it has gone by so fast. I have learned so much from Kyle and feel so lucky to have him in my life. Getting married has made me more aware of what I need to improve on. I feel like one of the biggest things I've learned is how to communicate better. Kyle is so patient with me and amazingly he still adores me and all my faults. I love him and the great man that he is. I have such a strong love for the gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I feel so blessed to have such a strong marriage and I know its because of our choice to be sealed for time and all eternity. Its so nice to not have to deal with the drama of the world that some couples deal with who do not have the gospel in their lives. I feel that the gospel is such a great protection to have in the home and in my marriage. We have been so blessed in our marriage and we are so greatful for the Lord's tender mercies that we see so much.

Some more updates on what we're up to

After leaving california we finally made our way back to utah. We got settled into our basement apartment and we started looking for jobs. After a few weeks of looking for jobs Kyle got a job at a Cabinet Shop. I was having no luck finding a job. Three weeks later Kyle got laid off because the Cabinet Shop did not have the work they were anticipating. I finally got a job as a lunch lady for the Murray School District but it was only and On-Call position. After starting my lunch lady training I got another interview for a different school district that had a perminent postion available. I got the job for the Salt Lake City School District, but my starting date for the job was weeks away. I also got another part time job working in the Albertson bakery. So now I have 2 jobs and Kyle has none.

Than came Thanksgiving. We went to Wyoming for Thanksgiving and it was so much fun to be together with Kyle's whole family. The food was great and it was fun to get to learn about some of their family traditions. The day after Thanksgiving we went into the woods and cut down our own christmas trees, it was lots of fun. Than that evening the girls got to make a craft. I was so excited about the craft because I have never really made one before and it made me feel more like a house wife. I thought I did a pretty good job.

Than we were back to life. Kyle got some interviews and I started working. Kyle ended up getting a job at a group home for troubled teens, the place is called La Europa. We decorated our tree and started preparing for Christmas. Kyle also got accepted into the Police Academy at Salt Lake Community College, he starts January 11th and he is so excited. And I'm so excited for him. I am glad he has made a decision on a career and that he is excited about it. I am also proud that he wants to serve and protect people. Also the health coverage is awesome which is perfect for me. We will be going to California for Christmas and I am so excited that I'm going crazy having to wait until we get to go.

What have we been up to...

Well after Spokane, we went to California for a week and went to the cabin and out on the boat with my family. It was so much fun and I really needed it. Kyle and I have never been boating together so that was a fun. We got to Cali a little over a week after finding out that Shea had cancer and had to immediately get his tumor removed. I was so anxious to get home so that I could hug him and see that he was ok in person. Having Shea in our family has been such a blessing to us all, he is so fun and easy going. He is such an example to me of hard work and patience. It's so hard to hear that a loved one has cancer, but its part of life's trials and all we can do is pray and put our faith in Heavenly Father that everything will be ok. One of the things I admire most about Shea is his ability to accept everyone for who they are and he never thinks badly of them, he has a wonderful ability to love everyone. So thank you Shea for being a great example and a wonderful brother to me. I love you so much and miss you like crazy. Don't every forget that we love you and need you in our lives, and don't every forget how much your Heavenly Father loves you. Here are pictures of Kyle and I wakeboarding and trying to surf behind the boat.

I have a funny facial expression in this picture... Surfing behind the boat is one of my new favorite things to do.
Going out on the boat with my family is my favorite thing to do. I love just going for rides, and I love wakeboarding and surfing. We had such a fun time.

Happy 4th of July... a month late

So for the 4th of July Kyle and I wanted to do something adventurous, so we went white water rafting down the Clark Fork River, which is in Montana. The drive was a little over 2 hours. One of the family traditions in the Gleue family, that Kyle wanted to carry on, is making Cinnamon Rolls on the morining of the 4th. I didn't have my Grandma Randall's recipe, so we just made some out of one of those tubes that you pop open. But they were still yummy.

So after pulling the cinnamon rolls out of the oven we started our drive to Montana. It was the perfect day, it was sunny and there was no wind. Kyle and I ended up in a raft with a younger group of people which was nice because we were worried that we wouldn't have a ton of fun because we didn't know anyone in the group. The water was pretty cold but it was so fun and so pretty. Kyle was not to bored with the size of rapids. He was a river guide one summer on the Snake River, so it was not a challenge for him. But we had so much fun being out doors together.

It was such a pretty day and we saw a few bald eagles that were flying around.

After our river trip we went home and took a nap. Than we went and watched the fire works. We drove down town and it was so busy that we ended up parking in a parking lot and sitting in the back of the truck with pillows and blankets. We did one of my family traditions and brought a bag of popped pop corn and some twisllers. It was a good show but we were a little disapointed, we were hoping for a much bigger show.

We had bought a waterproof camera for our water rafting trip and we didn't finish the film on our trip. So one of the days at the pool at our apartment complex we finished our film.

We thought this picture was really funny because of the woman in the back ground.

Farewell Grandpa Randall, we love you.

So I've realized that I'm not the best at keeping my blog updated. A lot has happened in the past month. And not all of it has been good. My Grandpa Randall passed away. He had been struggling with his health for the past few years. He got diagnosed with cancer and his treatments weren't working and he ended up passing away in his sleep the morning after Father's day. He had just celebrated his 90th birthday and He was an amazing Grandpa. He has always been a great example and a wonderful patiriot. My grandpa was a pilot in World War II and he flew B-17 airplanes. He was an amazing example of service. He was always a fun grandpa to be around and would always tickle us. He will always hold a special place in my heart. My grandpa was the one who preformed Kyle and I's marraige, and he did a wonderful job. We love you Grandpa, rest in peace. We are happy that you have been reunited with Grandma, the love of your life.

Kyle and I were able to go to Utah for my Grandpa's funeral, and it was wonderful to see all my family again. It was a very nice service for my Grandpa and it was so nice to look back on his amazing life. The weekend was wonderful and much needed. I really enjoyed the time away from work and to be reunited with my siblings and to have Kyle there for support. He has been such an amazing comfort to me these past 10 months that I've been with him. He fits in so well with my family and that is a very good thing since I can't be without him now. We laugh at how attached we are to eachother, and it is so hard to let him leave every day to work and to be alone all day long. But he is worth it, I would put up with a lot worse if I have to. I'm so greatful for Kyle and the man that he is. I'm so grateful for the patience and understanding he has for me, and for all my weaknesses.

My family's last picture of us all together was when Kyle and I got married and Amy was pregnant with Abby. So I made us all take one that weekend because no one is expecting a baby and so we have everyone in the picture.

I had such a fun time seeing all my family that I have missed so much. I was able to play with all my nieces and nephews that I miss so much. Staucie and I had a lot of fun jumping on the trampoline together. Our hair got all messed up, but it was so worth it.
