Derek ♥ Whitney ♥ Gage

I've decided it's finally time I update my blog and try to keep it updated :)..we will see how that goes. So since I've last posted it feels like my life has taken a complete turn...
*Derek and I are officially married
* We are having a baby!
* We are living on our own and working on closing on our new house at the end of this month
* I work full time (never thought that would happen) haha

The Baby! I am now 6 months along today! It feels like that past 6 months have gone by so fast and the next 3 are going to take forever. We found out a couple months ago that it is a little boy we are both so excited. The name we have picked out is Gage Travis Mellor. I never thought buying little boy clothes and trying to picture a baby that teeny would be so exciting, but it sure is. Trying to imagine someone that is part Derek and part me is so amazing. Gage has been kicking at me for weeks now, i have even been able to see him moving across my belly. Last night was the first night that Derek has seen him Kick it was so cute to see how excited he was to know that there is something really in there. Even though Derek thinks he is scared of babies, baby slobber, and baby poop, he is going to be such a great daddy and I'm so excited to see him first hold Gage and be there throughout his life.

The wedding! The wedding was amazing! We got married outside at the American Fork Amphitheater, the weather just happened to be cooperative and my mom worked so hard on making sure everything looked amazing, which it did. It was so perfect, and it was really fun to have both of our families hanging out together. We went on our honeymoon to park city for the first night then drove to my family's cabin in Yellowstone for a couple days. We went through the park, went swimming at the firehole and did a lot of shopping! It was so fun to get away just the two of us.

House! Right now we are living with Derek's aunt in Lehi way up by Thanksgiving Point, we love living there but it's just so far away. Derek is working at Security Metrics in Orem, and I am working at a doctor's office in American Fork, since all of our friends and our parents both live in Orem we are down there a lot. We found a duplex right down the street from both of our parent's houses. If everything works out we will rent out the top and just live in the basement and slowly fix it up as we live there. Right now our closing date is Nov. 29, if everything goes smoothly we will be able to move in the first weekend of December, which will be on my birthday! Happy Birthday to me! :)

Derek and I both love our jobs, and we both love each other. It's amazing how fast I am learning how to be a grown up. Derek still has to remind me to put things away after I use them and to clean up after myself so that he doesn't have to (which I'm still working on). He is such an amazing husband and i don't think that anyone else would be as patient with me as he is.

I will post some pictures of our wedding and of the baby and try to keep this updated as best as i can :)
