Where to start?
Ok so I know its been a long time since I have updated anybody on our recent activities and because its been so long I don’t know where to start…I have been trying to get Dani to take over and do this but it hasn’t worked yet. I wont give up though I promise. some day she will be the blogger not me.
I guess technically I could start back to May 30th. This is the day that Dani and I got married and sealed for all Time and Eternity in the St. George Temple. I was very happy to see everybody in the family that came and supported us there, and I did miss those that couldn’t make it. I can understand because I can’t always make it either. We moved into an apartment complex outside of Santa Clara where we could be a little closer to school and work for me. We love it here. its a two bedroom two bathroom apartment with lots of space. that first week together we went to Las Vegas for our Honeymoon thanks to my family in putting the Honeymoon package together. we had a great time even though it did end up getting cut short. On Thursday I had to get to work at my new job. I started working for Landmark Testing and Engineering as a Surveyor where I worked on getting test sites for the soil testers at the new St. George Replacement Airport. I also still worked at Diamond Ranch Academy at the time for extra cash to take of our needs.
Over the past year of our marriage it seems like all we were able to do was go to school and work, but I’ll be honest we did get out a little bit. we got to enjoy our first 4th of July with Dani’s sister Angie up in Richfield…that was a lot of fun and we went to the parade in Salina where we ended up having a BBQ with her dad.
We went to her brother Matt’s house for a few days where we attended her nephews Baptism, what a trip that was. They live in Logan and we didn’t get there until after midnight. But the trip was well worth it. being with family is always worth the trip. While up there Dani’s dad came up and we got to go Geo Cashing which was actually my second time so it was still new to me. we drove all over Logan looking for Geo Cash. we found I think four or five places and every one had something there. it was quite the treat for the kids.
In September I quit working for Diamond Ranch Academy and started working full time for Landmark which was really good. that meant that I didn’t have to travel to Hurricane for work.
In December Dani had been having some complications which was not fun. She had lots of pain and it was getting any better, we had an inkling that she might be pregnant. and yes I just said pregnant. we kind of started trying, we figured if we get pregnant than its time but if not then all well the Lord will bless us in time. she took a pregnancy test and it came positive but this only started to perk our interests in why she was having pain. But if you Dani she is stubborn and wouldn’t go to the doctor until one night I just flat out made her go… thank goodness we did. The doctors gave us some good news and bad news. the good news we were pregnant, the bad news it could be tubal pregnancy. so a week later we went to a different doctor to see if we could get a better answer. Our doctor, Doctor Benhum confirmed that it was indeed a good pregnancy and that the pain was actually just a cist. whew lucky us, sad that its causing pain but lucky that all it is, is just a cist. he explained that it will grow more but over time will also go down in size but will could remain there for the duration of the pregnancy. we also found out that our due date will be August 25.
April, this month we found out the Gender of our baby which is a BOY! I am very excited, what a great way to start your family as a father than to have a boy. We had been thinking for some time about what name to give him. The name we felt best about and enjoyed the most is Tanner Blake Ipson. Sorry to all those that wanted that name but we got to it first.
Dani is still working at Coral Cliffs Cinema 8 and she is one of the managers there and no she can’t get you in for free because she is family. but she sure has enjoyed it. I am now working for Interstate Rock Products Inc.
well, I need to get to bed so I well continue updating you in our next post.
love you all.
