GOOD NEWS MOMENT :]

I haven't had much time to blog between work and helping Jack get all of his school stuff together, but we have a few things I wanted to share with everyone!

1. Jack started taking his nursing pre-req's this week. We're so excited for him to finally be back in school!

2. We got our temple recommends and we'll be sealed in the Rexburg Temple on January 31st.

3. We decided to name the baby Leighton Chandler Maxfield. We're more excited every day for her to be here! I felt her start moving last week and I've been feeling it more and more.

4. Mom and Addison are coming to visit us the end of this month! We're so excited to see them! (Happy Birthday yesterday Addi-Boo!!)

5. We found a really good deal on a white crib and matching changing table, so Jack got them and put them together for me. We also got cute Carter's onesies that Bob and JoAnne brought us from Michigan and Jack got her a little BYU-I t-shirt! (I'm thinking Leighton's going to be a little spoiled!!)

Well, we hope everyone is enjoying January! We've been super busy, but we'll try to keep everyone updated!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S!

Jack and I both had to work late last night -- we still haven't spent an Idaho New Year's Eve together! Instead we break out the (Welch's grape juice) bubbly and celebrate Alaska New Year's Eve when we get home at 2am! Haha, we will definitely look back on these first few years and our crazy schedules and laugh when we actually get to spend real New Year's Eve together! I hope everyone is enjoying 2009 as much as we are already!! We have had such a wonderful year in 2008 and 2009 is looking even better! We were able to live in 3 different states, spend time with ALL of our immediate family (even Brett, Melissa, and McKinley), go on a cruise, and start preparing to become parents! It has been both of our favorite year yet! And to add to it, we have a new niece: Annabelle Jo Maxfield -- congratulations Brett and Melissa!!
