Yes it has been 3 crazy, wonderful years since the day I became Mrs. Ivan Kirk. It's still the best decision I ever made.
Thank you Ivan for the best time of my life, I love you.

Happy Birthday Micheal!!!
My older brother Micheal is attending dental school in Pennsylvania where he lives with his beautiful family. Of all my siblings I would say that him and I are probably the most like-minded. Micheal is probably my only sibling who actually *asks* for my advice occasionally. But don't worry, I still offer my advice liberally to all the others, solicited or not, hah!
Anyway, happy birthday Micheal, I love you.

Happy Birthday Aubree!!!
Aubree is my best friend and I’d do anything for her. She is the funniest and the most honest person I have ever met (she couldn’t lie to save her life!) I feel blessed to know her.
She’s the kind of girl who can laugh at herself.
She’s the kind of girl who would start swing dancing with the waitress.
She’s the kind of girl who could start a conversation with anyone (I mean ANYONE, Obama, Osama, Oprah, you name it)
5 months ago when I turned 26 she called me an “old fart.” I told you it wouldn't take you long to join the club ya old fart. Happy Birthday Aubree I love you!

Happy Birthday Papi!
My dad is one of a kind for sure. I think the best thing about him is his positive attitude, it's contagious when you're around him, even as an adult it's hard to imagine that there's anything he couldn't do when he really puts his mind to it. He looks at life as a big party, or an adventure, or a fun trip and he always enjoys the little things, like the sunset or the sand or just sitting. It's energizing to be around him instead of draining. I want to be more like that. Happy birthday Papi, I love you.

African birthday party
The first week of Jan we went to a birthday party that a group of people in Salt Lake threw for the African refugee kids. Since many of them don't have valid documentation of their birth the government assigns them a "birthday" which is usually Jan 1st. So they threw a big party fir all the kids to celebrate their birthdays.
I was in a dance off with a couple of 4 year olds. They were good, I think they had me beat.
OHMYGOSHNOWAY!!
Holy freakin cow, I'm pregnant!!!
I've waited to write this post because I wanted to post a picture of the pregnancy test, but after carrying it around in my pocket for a week showing anyone who would look I misplaced it.
I'm still in disbelief. I'm 10 weeks according to my menstrual cycle or whatever. It's weird because I know when we conceived (it was our FIRST time off birth control!) but the Dr adds 2 weeks because of when the egg comes down the tube or something like that.
Anyway, I started feeling sick as I found out, hah! Ivan didn't believe me.
It sicker and sicker and was miserably ill all day for 3 days, I couldn't even eat. Then I went to the Dr and they told me to take B6 and unison which saved my life because I've felt a million times better since.
Anyway, so yea, I'll get my first ultrasound soon and all that. It's hard to believe that a baby will come out of me in August I guess it will be easier to believe when my stomach is big and I can feel it move.

So exciting!
I know you've been waiting at the edge of your office chairs and sofas to hear what this exciting new project I'm involved in is.
When I got back from Saint George I had the opportunity to meet an amazing woman who has been doing a lot of work with some African refugees in Salt Lake. She introduced us to some darling families and of course we fell in love.
We decided to do something we've talked about doing for a while now and we're starting a non-profit organization. Ivan and I and our closest friends are collaborating on this project. I am SO excited about it, but we have a LOT of work to do.
Hopefully we will be successful in doing a lot of good, I will definitely keep you updated on our progress.
