One Year ago

By -
One year ago I was in a very different situation than I now find myself:

- I was single, living with 3 roommates, who were also single
- I was in a new relationship with a boy named Talon, and he hadn't even kissed me... we did hold hands

- I was student teaching
- I was done with the LSAT (thank heavens)
- I was unsure of my future in a BIG way
- I was happy for my sister who had just gotten engaged
- I was living in Bridgerland
- I was serving as the Ward Web Administrator
- I was teaching piano lessons for a job
- I was learning by doing with teaching
- I was scared of the future, but trying to lean on my faith
- I was excited for the future


Now...

- I am married, living with my amazing, goodlooking, and so romantic husband
- He's kissed me... today even!

- I am teaching
- I am not in Law School
- I'm still uncertain of my future, but I know I have someone to figure it out with
- I am so glad that last night my sister and brother-in-law came over and chatted with us till late hours... what a blessing to have them so close.
- I am living in Aggie Village, married student housing
- I am serving in the Primary Presidency
- I teach high school as a job
- I am STILL learning by doing with teaching
- I am STILL learning to lean on my faith
- I am STILL excited for the future...
- AND, there's even proof... I am STILL dating my wonderful husband! We went to the USU homecoming dance. It was a little freaky when I ran into a few of my old students from last year who are now freshman at USU. WEIRD! "Hi Mrs. Anderson... Miss Hicken... uh... oh dear"

Here's the proof: (tal had just rubbed his eyes so he looks a little stoned...)

I loved this post. :) P.s. I don't think he did just rubbed his eyes. I think it's time Talon comes clean about his little drug-addiction. And by little I mean LARGE. :)

She's here!

Hello Family and Friends! If you haven't heard yet, our little baby girl Adalyn was born Tuesday, March 15th at about 2pm. She was born by emergency C-section (they knocked Nicole all the way out because there wasn't time for anything else) and was under a lot of distress. After a wonderful blessing from her Grandpa Hicken and Daddy she was life flighted to McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden. She is still in the NICU there but is making great strides each and every day.  Her mommy and daddy named her Adalyn Julene Anderson-- after her great grandma Anderson (Julene). She has already blessed their lives immensely and she has benefited so much from prayers and fasts of family and friends. She has a long road ahead of her, but she is a fighter! Her grandpa Hicken calls her his little Millie- because she is a miracle baby and in Spanish, miracle is Milagro. She is a miracle and we are so happy to have her.  Love you all!

Delivery Day

By -
Well folks- it's D-Day! After talking some more and discussing with us- our doctors (a team of OBs and Perinatologists) have decided that it is best for baby boy not to have any risks with the placenta and come today. So- He's going to be very early- they will have completed the steroids though, so that is helpful. But we all feel that this is the very best thing for HIM. I'll have a c-section- hopefully regular this time- this afternoon and we will have a baby boy by this evening. He will go straight to the NICU and we'll just see how he does to know more about how long he will be there. Again, thank you all for your comments, prayers, texts, phone calls. We appreciate all of you and your love and support for us! Love you all- remember we are in His hands. And who's better to be in.
