Fitness!!

Hey everyone!! I just have to say that I love this blogging stuff. It is so funny to read everyone’s blogs. It is funny for a couple of reasons. Some of your blogs are just down right funny. It also makes me laugh to find out we are all in the same boat together…meaning that a few different times I have been reading your blogs and thinking, “I didn’t know they had the same dilemma that I do, or the same interests, or…whatever”. Also, seeing everyone’s kids has made me so excited to have our own. I can’t believe how cute and creative all you mom’s are. Thanks for sharing! The whole blogging thing has just been great entertainment for me when I have some down time at work.
Let’s see, I have had a few different thoughts on my mind lately. I’ll just start with one. I have actually been thinking about this for the last week or so, after a some what eye opening exercise experience with some of my coworkers last week, where I found out I was incredibly more out of shape than I had realized, I kinda freaked out. I desperately asked Spence to go to the gym with me, and we have gone faithfully for the last TWO DAYS. After reading Annie’s blog and a few of the comments, I was ready to make my own declaration on the subject. I make this declaration to both give and receive support. ( : I don’t need to be in shape for a marathon or anything, but it would be nice to be able to walk up a set of stairs more than one time without getting winded. Since I spent most of the first trimester going to work and then coming home and going to bed I have really missed out on the winter activities (and the fitness that comes with it). Hopefully we will go snow shoeing, or something, this weekend. I sure have missed the great outdoors! Also, I am going to start going to a prenatal yoga class on Wednesday nights. That should be fun…I’ll let you know how it goes. So, my declaration is to eat healthy and exercise…pretty simple. And its not like this is a new declaration, but it is always good to renew it after you have been idle for awhile.
Let me know if any of you are doing anything fun to stay in shape. I know that everyone is busy with life, so let me know if you are able to do anything that fits with your busy schedule.

This Should Be Fun!

Hello everyone!! Spence and I have not been in the blogging seen until now, and I have to say that I am pretty excited. Some of you may have noticed that I have been reading your blog. I have loved being able to catch up and find out what is going on with all the friends and family (especially all you girls from the neighborhood. I can't believe how many kids everyone has, and it is great to see that everyone is so happy.) If I don't already have you linked to our site, let me know what your blog address is so we can get hooked up. This blogging thing should be pretty fun, and I'll get some pics posted ASAP!

Times they are a changin'

After a year and a half of blissful marriage we are finally having a baby!! Yes, yes, yes, grandmas get out your rattles and grandpas start practicing that high baby talk voice, because here comes the newest little Stephenson. The jury is still out on whether it is a boy or girl. Whatever it is, let's just hope that it looks like Melynn...

I guess now that I have made a post I am officially a "blogger." I'm trying to accept my new identity by using some new phrases like: "Hey babe, if you need me I'll be in blogging...," and "Have you seen the blogosphere lately?? it is crazy..." I'll Keep practicing. In the mean time, I am finishing my last semester as a BYU undergrad, graduating in Civil Engineering in April. I am in a microbiology class with about 500 pre nursing freshman girls that teach me that charity suffereth long.

Work is great and very busy. I have been working at Horrocks Engineers in American Fork for almost a year and a half now. I have gained a lot of design experience and learned a ton.

So what's next?? I'm applying to law schools now, so we'll see how that goes and where we end up. I'll keep you "posted," now that I am a blogger.
