Shopping spree!

Although we did venture out on Black Friday (at noon, for an hour), I decided to see if there were any pre-Friday good deals. I figured I'd be needing maternity clothes soon. I didn't find anything good in the first couple of stores I went to. Then, I hit the jackpot at Old Navy. Not only was there a whole section on sale, it was half off the lowest marked price! My total purchase was $27 for about $150 worth of stuff! Mostly shirts though.. anyone know where the best maternity pants are?

I love a good deal. And just to lure me in.. there was a rack of .97 cent baby clothes right by the register. I couldn't resist and bought my first baby outfit. I figured it was as neutral as I could get. We won't find out what we're having until January, but it was so cute! Yay for baby clothes!

Kurtis goes camping

Last weekend the older Scouts in our ward needed another Priesthood chaperone to go with them on a camping trip. Kurtis has gone with them before and was happy to jump on the chance. The only catch was that he's never been 'cold camping' since he's from Florida. So he insisted on taking our down comforter in addition to the 2 sleeping bags we have. This is just a little glimpse into his camping preparation of getting dressed...don't worry, those are not his undies. :)

I was tagged..

What is your husband's name? Kurtis
How long have you been married? 1 year, 4 months (it hasn't been so long so I count the months!)
How long did you date? officially, 7 months. Unofficially, we knew each other over a year before we got married and dated earlier.
How old is he? 25
Who eats sweets? Both of us. I love fruity gummy stuff and he loves the chocolate. We both love desserts.
Who said I Love you first? He did. He was so cute too.. it was early on in our official dating period and I wanted to say it too, but I couldn't. He actually stopped me and said I shouldn't until I was sure. He just wanted me to know how he felt.
Who is taller? He is, by 2 inches about
Who can sing best? Well, on key-I am. But he has a great voice! He just needs music to keep him on the right notes.
Who is smarter? This is not a fair question. We're both smart in our own ways, especially at being skart-alecks!
Who does the laundry? Me usually. Kurtis will put in a load sometimes when it starts to really pile up.
Who pays the bills? Me. I got that from my mother.
Who mows the lawn? Kurtis. We JUST got a free lawn-mower too from our fabulous friends and now it's too cold/snowy to mow. Oh well!
Who cooks dinner? I do. Kurtis is quite impressed too, except when I put onions in it.
Who drives? Kurtis. I like being chauffered!
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do. I also got that from my mom. It's got the night stand too so I can put my water there.
Who is the first to admit they are wrong? Ummm... I'd actually say we're both stubborn.
Who kissed who first? Kurtis did. I wanted to kiss him on one of our earlier dates but didn't. (Major self-control!) It was a very sweet kiss. Very tingly.
Who asked who out first? Kurtis did. We went ice skating and he held my hand! I needed the support because I kept falling.. haha! I asked him on the second date though. For the NEXT NIGHT! But it was a Jazz game so I didn't know if he was just using me for the tickets. I guess not. :)
Who wears the pants? Both of us. He lets me be bossy but puts his foot down when things get outta hand.

Feel free to tag yourself with these questions!!

Man skills

My mom had nothing to do with carving pumkins for Halloween so if I wanted one, I had to do it myself. Now that I have Kurtis, it's his job to carve the pumpkin. So it's Halloween night and the pumpkin is not yet carved. What to do!? He finally got home from work and went to get his pumpkin-carving tools: a giant scooper, the largest knife we have and his drill, yes, his electric drill. 'What's it good for if I don't use it?' was his response to my scoffing. I was quite impressed with his skills I have to say. It was a beautiful night and we sat outside carving the pumpkin and waiting for the little monsters. Our street is pretty quiet so we only got about 20 kids. But the pumpkin was a HIT. 1 million man points to Kurtis.

Boo!

Yes, it's true

Yesterday I had my first OB doctor's appointment and heart our baby's heartbeat. We are 10 weeks pregnant and due June 6- just in time for school to end! We found out a couple weeks ago but I've been feeling tired and sickly for a month or so. Other then that I'm feeling fine. I wanted to put a lovely picture of the pregnancy test (the dipstick, haha!) but couldn't get a focused picture. We're THRILLED and feel EXTREMELY blessed. It will be interesting to see just what a Tucker/Gillman will do to this world. :)

I'm also super excited because my sister is also pregnant and about 3 weeks ahead of me! Now these cousins will be BFFs, you know it. Yay!!
