Colorado Springs

Well Jake is a natural salesman!! He started a job in March selling Dishnetwork and Direct TV and boy can he sell! He was so good at it that he got an awesome opportunity for the summer. The company is called Big Dog Satellite and they are a retailer for Dish and Direct and they have something called the Summer Program. Basically they come out here to Colorado Springs, Colorado and sell. The company puts you in luxary appartments for free. they take care of the rent and everything! and then you get half of the money for each sale and then at the end of the summer you get the rest of the money in one big lump sum. During the summer you get points for selling and awards for getting the most points or being the top sales rep. Theres alot of company outings and parties and trips and the people are awesome! So here we are in the springs and its so beautiful here! it rains alot and there are cute little rabbits everywhere! Here is a picture of me and Zoe in our lovely apartment in the Springs!

Graduation - Pine View High School 09

Graduation was a big mile post that I'm so glad to have experienced AND gotten out of the way! Zoe's due date was three days before graduation and i was worried that i wouldnt get to walk or miss it all together. But i had her on her due date and was able to walk, even though it was very painful. Early on my senior year i decided i didnt want to take classes at the high school because it was just to difficult so i did the packets that i could do at home on my own time and it was hard. there were some nights towards the end where Jake would help me and we stayed up all night getting them done. Even though extremely stressful and completely pregnant I made it and i'm so glad i did! Graduation was awesome! Kayle Kimzee an old friend and validictorian gave an inspiring speach and the senior class video they showed was awesome! I loved being part of the group being able to throw our hats in the air and say we did it. Zoe, three days old, was able to be at the graduation with Jake, my dad, Kailee and karson. Every one else was sick :( but thats ok. Here are some pictures from after the ceremony with friends and family!!

Baby Zoe

When i found out our baby was going to be a girl i was SO excited! and so was Jake, i've never seen him smile bigger! i started thinking about doing her hair and picking out clothes and doing nails! Right after the appointment i rushed to my moms work to tell her the news and show her the ultrasound pictures! Her and all the other nurses in the office freaked out along with me and my mom.Then i just kept getting bigger and bigger!



Finally i had my baby shower that my mom and aunt threw for me. It was so much fun and all my family and friends were there! i got the cutest stuff and just about eveyrthing i needed! i'm so grateful for everyones gifts and support. including jake! he was the best and did everything he could to make things easy for me.
About a month after the shower, 1 day before Zoe's due date me and jake decided to go into labor and delivery. My doctor told me to go in if i was getting headaches and swelling cause that could be a sign of toxemia. When i went in they checked me and told me i was fine but i was 2 inches dialated and they told me i was ready so they put me in a room and got me started! Jake acted like a kid at christmas! he started calling everyone in his phone and couldnt be happier. YES i had an epidural and now im a firm believer that everyone should have it and if they dont then they are amazing and not human haha. but it was an easy labor after the meds and Zoe Rose King was born the next day at 1:09 in the morning weighing 6 lbs and 12 oz. She was and still is the most beautiful thing i have ever seen. Me and jake absolutely love her to death. Here are some pictures of her from birth up to now at 1 and 1/2 months old.
