Some Photos...because I am good at this Blog thing

Here's some amazing pictures of the last couple of weeks...in no particular order because I am still new at this whole blog thing. Enjoy!

We found this sign in Oklahoma and I made Matt stop to take a picture. Haha! He loves me!

My whole Hazard family. I love these people! :)

Me and Matt at the Dallas temple. We were here for the wedding of some of our friends' and figured out how to use the delay time on our camera. We are high tech geniuses. :)

Me and my dad at my college graduation December 12, 2008. He got to dress up too, since he is a professor at BYU-Idaho. It was cool to get to march in with him and shake his hand.

Happpiness... :)

Today I woke up in the arms of my sweet husband.

This might seem like such a little thing, but it is a little thing that has happened too few times in the last seven months. Matt and I have officially been married for 1 year, 4 months, and 10 days as of today, but of that time we have spent approximately 4 1/2 months of it apart.

Over this time we celebrated the 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and my birthday apart.
I went back to school and finished my degree in Communications as a "single" college student. We began building a house in Texas, which I have yet to see. I also went to several maternity visits and through morning sick days without a husband. Matt found out we were having a boy over his cell phone.

But we are together again now, and I love it. We have spent time with just the two of us, driving, shopping, and talking about our new litttle boy. We have eaten, slept, and sat together. We have held hands. :)

It is amazing how much I love this person, and it is amazing that I don't have to call him on the phone to tell him that! I am really, and truly, happy, and I know that Heavenly Father has blessed me much more than I deserve. I thank him everyday.

Also, thank you so much to all those people who have loved and supported me during these sometimes very hard times. My wonderful family, who made me feel like I had never left home in the first place. Who fed me and clothed me, and helped me through the rough patches. Who loved me unconditionally.

To Matt's family, who did the same and made me feel like I was in a place I had always known, even though I had never been there before. Who called and updated me while I was away, and who are so lovingly welcoming us both back into their home.

To my fantastic friends, who listened to me complain but never let me wallow too long in my own self-pity. Who took me with them to play, and who cheered me on in all I was doing.

These last few months were probably the hardest thing I have ever done...and I am so lucky. I am so blessed. Thank you so much. Thank you.
