Belly.

I've had requests from several people for some more updated belly photos. Its fun feeling her kick. At this point we get to go into the Dr ever 2 weeks instead of once a month.This is me at 30 weeks along, Just 10 more weeks to go!
I'm in a race with Brooklynn at school to see if I can get done and have some relaxation time before she comes.Here's a fun picture, Looking up at my belly.

As many of you know we recently went to California on a trip for a baby shower and Paramedic School Interviews for Derek, The shower was great! Lots of fun clothes, but we need so much more before we're really going to be prepared, This having a baby stuff is quite a task for those of you who haven't already gone through this and figured that out ;) Derek is enjoying working at Northstar alarm as a credit agent. The days are going by slowly for him with hope that it picks up soon.
Here is the good news, Derek got accepted into Westmed College of Medicine's Paramedic Program and starts school in September. We will be moving to California in August for school, He is VERY excited to have been accepted and is looking forward to school, He's also got a job waiting (Paid Call) with San Juan Fire.

What Now??


Hey, Sorry to anyone who actually follows our blog. We have been really busy with our lives and haven't had much "Blog worthy" activity going on so we haven't been posting. Here is what's new in our lives. Amy is going to school now Full-Full time at Paul Mitchell, She's putting in 13 hour days at school on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, as well as still going to regular school hours on Monday and Friday. She's still working weekends at Goodwood. Our baby girl is really active and moving and kicking all the time, It's really fun to feel her kick, The best part is that she will follow Derek's hand and voice to either side of my tummy and kick there.

We celebrated Derek's 25th birthday on Conference Sunday by cooking a tri tip dinner with home made baked beans that were delicious, We had some friends over and played a game of Cranium, Boys Vs Girls, and of course, The girls won as usual when we play. We also baked a cheesecake and the crust got stuck to the pan because we swirled carmel into the graham crackers.

Derek finally got a good job, He'll be working as a credit authorization agent with Northstar Alarm company, It should be a good job, he will be working 6 days a week but certainly isn't complaining after nearly 4 months of job searching in Utah County where it is near impossible to find a job.
For those of you who didn't hear, Derek tested with West Valley City Fire and out of 640 total applicants for the job, he was placed #10 overall on their hiring list, That's great, but not great enough because we doubt that they will reach that number in the next 2 years, However he contacted West Valley Fire about the job and his performance, he was told that if he had been a Paramedic he would have been offered the job, This is because most Fire Departments now days are looking for Fire-Medics..
As a result, Derek and I have decided on a Paramedic school, Westmed College of Medicine in San Jose California, We are traveling out this week to finalize everything that is needed to finish enrollment and acceptance into the school, We are really excited, and think that this will be a wonderful opportunity to get out there and play, We'll be back in California which makes both of us happy, and Derek will also be working with The San Juan Fire Department during school.
