I gave in and got a blog....

So....happy Sunday!  Such is my life that when we got home from church, I sat down at the computer immediately to check my email and see just who loved me.  Then I made some comment about a friend's blog, and my husband said to me "Why don't you start a blog?"  Sure, why not!  I've got plenty to say about myself, and Nick will be thrilled when i post pictures of him fishing eventually.  And so I welcome my husband and myself to the blogging universe, and even though I'm not terribly technologically savvy, hopefully it will turn out ok.

Almost six years ago now, Nick and I, even though he will deny it, met online.  Yes, we met on MSN messenger.  Ok, it wasn't like we wandered into some random chat room and started gabbing to each other about how wonderful we were.  One of my dear friends happened to become acquainted with Nick during their freshman year at BYU.  I was talking to him, and Nick got interested and wanted to talk to me.  And that's how it all started.  For four months, we would talk almost religiously, making silly mock plans to one day meet in person.  I had waited a semester after graduating high school, and so I didn't head down to college until the end of Nick's first semester.  We met up in the SLC airport and fell madly in love with each other.  Then I went to Idaho, and he went to Provo.  Darn those long distance relationships.....

Just a few months later, Nick went on his mission to Honduras where he spent the next two years spreading the gospel.  I happily continued studying, changing my major from classical singing to medical assisting.  Nick and I decided that would be a more practical option so I could support him while he was in school since there was NO doubt that we would be married when he returned home.  

Hey, it works for some people!  Nick and I were married four short months after he came home from his mission, and life has been nothing but adventure since then.  We have moved four times, gone through numerous fish and other little mammal pets.  We have been in five different wards and met our share of interesting characters while navigating through Happy Valley, but! nonetheless, it has been a blast thus far. Nick studies biology, and I work as a medical assistant, just like we planned.

And now, we are expecting our first baby in May.  According to Davis family tradition, it is a boy, and we are very excited to start this new chapter in our lives.
