I can't believe my baby boy is that old! He is the best thing that has ever happened to Zack and I and we are so blessed to have him in our life. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtUhOlKIsRgKsrVaGbDYYDvpdXR25KZDmvk6I1jLWtAZfku3nHUCr1pAGIzKR3TWK6Cd6ZxB5C84YaKwnGjZ58RhR0gSiAwghhw-KEde9rnUqmEqh4GbTv5E4oSShHLSPj2CVEKI5Wu_zh/s640/blogger-image--153640641.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtUhOlKIsRgKsrVaGbDYYDvpdXR25KZDmvk6I1jLWtAZfku3nHUCr1pAGIzKR3TWK6Cd6ZxB5C84YaKwnGjZ58RhR0gSiAwghhw-KEde9rnUqmEqh4GbTv5E4oSShHLSPj2CVEKI5Wu_zh/s640/blogger-image--153640641.jpg"></a>He is also starting to take steps! By christmas I bet that we will have a full walker on our hands! Zack and I both walked that soon too so I bet he will be there any day now. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">So we've had thanksgiving come and go. We spent dinner with zacks fily and dessert with mine. Then my mom aunt grandma and me went shopping a little bit for Black Friday. We go every year even if we don't have big thighs to get. It's a lot easier now that stores are open thanksgiving evening although I feel bad for all those that work it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Christmas is just over a week away. I can't wait for it to get here! It's going to be a lot of fun now that we have Damon. I can't wait till he's even older so we can really get into Santa and all. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWNX2kFzDf5ggtg36xsRYmUhOV_aR4P4gzeOAKO2aZZamkzx3Ufx_t4YxxpLzc-McrgP8N6FdUF634CFJJFeqEDe6vj6St1FDPIM-NXWrnAs3EUGns1YQJ2ChCGcQMhfXzzYouYm-vh__h/s640/blogger-image--920401861.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWNX2kFzDf5ggtg36xsRYmUhOV_aR4P4gzeOAKO2aZZamkzx3Ufx_t4YxxpLzc-McrgP8N6FdUF634CFJJFeqEDe6vj6St1FDPIM-NXWrnAs3EUGns1YQJ2ChCGcQMhfXzzYouYm-vh__h/s640/blogger-image--920401861.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipvN8XvHClgt2BOGw96N0olXSiwEdizrb4X17BTDvIBm7KB428a4OyqP2Qh4H4EN8VV6Q5tQg4Ns3CU9Hfxo_CCQlmjIeI7bXhXr2KyjrGnx1rNYlfn28C1aYOKHcmiNWZFqajyjoQV1kA/s640/blogger-image-1179755458.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipvN8XvHClgt2BOGw96N0olXSiwEdizrb4X17BTDvIBm7KB428a4OyqP2Qh4H4EN8VV6Q5tQg4Ns3CU9Hfxo_CCQlmjIeI7bXhXr2KyjrGnx1rNYlfn28C1aYOKHcmiNWZFqajyjoQV1kA/s640/blogger-image-1179755458.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpzEAEmMhRaEhv8EQ20hLnmdCmP2lEH197VJFL_Qtt2jS0pAMHsWliddHkEgb4vdnMjr1drZi7WhazFvDVQXoNVBgp6CpRu86egziBJ_1kIeEWRN3Sm2PLQhraofS2jaMo6ovwa-33HHXK/s640/blogger-image-642123307.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpzEAEmMhRaEhv8EQ20hLnmdCmP2lEH197VJFL_Qtt2jS0pAMHsWliddHkEgb4vdnMjr1drZi7WhazFvDVQXoNVBgp6CpRu86egziBJ_1kIeEWRN3Sm2PLQhraofS2jaMo6ovwa-33HHXK/s640/blogger-image-642123307.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br></div><br></div><br></div>Tara Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14398568110724956747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679643582474267936.post-23110856290381935382014-10-15T13:52:00.001-07:002014-10-16T11:24:08.370-07:00Damon James Wilson<div>The pregnancy and birth story of Damon. (Warning: extremely long story and I go into a lot of detail)<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> </span></div><div><br></div>We found out I was pregnant on the 5th of July while we were visiting family in Utah (we were living in South Dakota at the time). I cried and laughed with excitement and couldn't believe that it finally happened. We had been trying for the past 3 months and even though for a lot of people that wasn't a lot of time but for me it kind of was. Leading up to the time we actually got pregnant I cried every time I got my period because I wanted to be pregnant so badly. Zack was very supportive and helpful and I am so lucky to have him as my husband and partner. He was with me when we found out we were expecting and he could not of been happier either. It was difficult to keep this big of a secret from our family and friends for the first few weeks but I have had too many friends announce it and then miscarry and we just didn't want to have to go through that if we didn't need to. It was especially hard to keep it from our friends in Vermillion since I had morning sickness the whole first trimester. I didn't throw up everyday, but felt nauseous almost constantly and retched about 3 times a week. We waited till I was 12 weeks along and we heard the heartbeat and saw him/her in a ultrasound all till we announced it.<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWpvoBRgT2eVcL26x8b5H_hEQ4eeVy-uoH_zcX2sBaL5YzvI6Hhy9iadidvNzsCFxX601UKpbtORoSoPAYVY_Tj_3NPl8pk2-xwCTrWbecgAFKvnfrmHRGL4_e75bgQkr0r5K8kzAR0dVz/s640/blogger-image-1514582435.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWpvoBRgT2eVcL26x8b5H_hEQ4eeVy-uoH_zcX2sBaL5YzvI6Hhy9iadidvNzsCFxX601UKpbtORoSoPAYVY_Tj_3NPl8pk2-xwCTrWbecgAFKvnfrmHRGL4_e75bgQkr0r5K8kzAR0dVz/s640/blogger-image-1514582435.jpg"></a></div>We told my parents a few weeks before so I could get advice from my mom and all but we waited to tell the rest of the family and friends. We called and told the family and close friends that we wanted to tell before we announced it on Facebook and other social media sites then after a week or so announced it on Facebook. Here is how we told the social media world (since sadly enough that is now important in our society) <div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQrs8-EUKVjOoYzl6qbE7gfMFeDhbPM9W8xK2Ufo9238LaZkGCvtYvKIfyAAP0vNrqTb_iE8fZ0uRWjoCP4_3yfioyhCPnjJu96IS1hN8VYM20tCHUITi-TcqpbXS_csAiK_et1Zb650VY/s640/blogger-image-1755290669.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQrs8-EUKVjOoYzl6qbE7gfMFeDhbPM9W8xK2Ufo9238LaZkGCvtYvKIfyAAP0vNrqTb_iE8fZ0uRWjoCP4_3yfioyhCPnjJu96IS1hN8VYM20tCHUITi-TcqpbXS_csAiK_et1Zb650VY/s640/blogger-image-1755290669.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">We weren't really sure if baby (we didn't know the gender at the time) was going to be delivered in SD or not but I thought it was clever and fun 😄</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Everything went smooth sailing after I got over the morning sickness. I will never forget the first time I felt the baby move (well realized it was the baby, it feels a lot like gas to tell you the truth). It really made it real since I was barely showing. I felt a little bad for Zack since he couldn't feel the baby kick yet, but the bigger I got the kicks and movements became more prominent and he finally was able to feel the movements. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I really liked my doc in Vermillion. Untill i was farther along I went in every 4 weeks to hear the heartbeat and check my levels (pee samples). I had to get over my fear of shots pretty quickly because my first few appointments I had to get many shots. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The big 20 week appointment came around and we were finally going to be able to find out the gender! We were so sure that it was going to be a girl. I don't know why but We were certain it was. So when we were in there and the guy told us it was a boy we were pretty shocked but so excited nonetheless. Now we could finally figure out a name which we found out was extremely hard. We were set on 3 different names: Liam, Carter, and Damon all of which we liked for different reasons. Liam was our favorite but it was one of the most popular names of the year and we didn't really like that. Carter and Damon we liked but were just not sure which name he was going to be. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">We had no big complications other than I had really bad back pain the bigger I got and he was breach for a long time. I think the back pain is because I have such a small torso that he put a lot of pressure on my lower back and it was very painful the bigger he got. He was also kicking my cervix like crazy which is extelremely painful and is also how we found out he was breach because I was freaking out thinking something was wrong so we went in and got an ultrasound when I was about 5 mo along. I looked up exercises to try and flip him like laying upside down on a ironing board leaning against the couch. Not really sure if that helped or he just decided to finally flip but when I had a ultra sound at around 7 months we found that he finally flipped and was face down. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">When I was about 6 months along we moved back to Utah and I went back to my OBGYN doc that I had before we moved to SD. By that time I was going to the docs office every other week. We were very anxious for our little boy to get here. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">While Zack worked I was busy getting our house set up and his room done. I have to admit I might of gone a little overboard with all of the decorations I did but I had a lot of fun doing it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEmLiyr3CPU_E2E1ERHuVTzkFocSqiPAhVUyzWnO4YciLc4DIucsur1iSavi-WXfYbpOTdyK11y3BRX9HhCJ-5TvzTeuZqkyv3grUeuimXI06DWlZRJvoDYYf8kfkicMQWD0IhZOjUyklo/s640/blogger-image-1298679593.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEmLiyr3CPU_E2E1ERHuVTzkFocSqiPAhVUyzWnO4YciLc4DIucsur1iSavi-WXfYbpOTdyK11y3BRX9HhCJ-5TvzTeuZqkyv3grUeuimXI06DWlZRJvoDYYf8kfkicMQWD0IhZOjUyklo/s640/blogger-image-1298679593.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9g2fShMErgGLZYqltJk6APXDylm01UeNPtkSoVeswuPbbn4zBKL-KPwj9bNrD0THJr5tnlr2dLKOkKlweGGxvzdcFDNpIE6vsxx4WuLV6BLDNZahyeDeo4AS3IeTwr93GqbkeGwQnNWv5/s640/blogger-image--1500585126.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9g2fShMErgGLZYqltJk6APXDylm01UeNPtkSoVeswuPbbn4zBKL-KPwj9bNrD0THJr5tnlr2dLKOkKlweGGxvzdcFDNpIE6vsxx4WuLV6BLDNZahyeDeo4AS3IeTwr93GqbkeGwQnNWv5/s640/blogger-image--1500585126.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXGk72SMfWVqZxM_pX50SagyRokX5PM0onjeyW8Q7S6QQnz1tQRiuEH-c8a3gLbfJ_YRh_xe8hw6d18M3q-uJt9AN4MH8VTq3n9L27qZhoqRr2COToVQq6oT9Cf4FMp5ZOzvfMDDOxMI_a/s640/blogger-image-828586321.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXGk72SMfWVqZxM_pX50SagyRokX5PM0onjeyW8Q7S6QQnz1tQRiuEH-c8a3gLbfJ_YRh_xe8hw6d18M3q-uJt9AN4MH8VTq3n9L27qZhoqRr2COToVQq6oT9Cf4FMp5ZOzvfMDDOxMI_a/s640/blogger-image-828586321.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">(I made this when we finally figured out what his name was about a week or so before I delivered)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The closer the d day was getting the more anxious we became. My aunts threw me a awesome family shower, my old YW leader Kristen Southwick threw me a ward shower and my high school friend Klary threw me a friend shower. We were pretty set after that and only had to get a few essentials. My parents gave us the crib and my mom made a couple blankets and zacks mom have us the dresser and rocking chair. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Finally the due date came and I was not dialating at all, I wasn't even a fingertip my doc said. It was very frustrating because I felt ready to pop and just wanted to hold my sweet baby boy in my arms. My doc said that if I didn't come on my own by a week over my due date, they would induce me. The week dragged by rather slowly as each day we expected him to make his appearance. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFphgB_zVeIkSWnss8zuRaz8RAQm3Ob2PipFVieooaEz2HwflWD7aHq0crxhFLn8fMI0uRW8pT0GHi0JyD78BtCdPoz5xAs5jtPLaAPG_BhWUBb6qFe1DyP9Rq2AbSvUy3b4Ff9HxVVsSf/s640/blogger-image-1826232184.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFphgB_zVeIkSWnss8zuRaz8RAQm3Ob2PipFVieooaEz2HwflWD7aHq0crxhFLn8fMI0uRW8pT0GHi0JyD78BtCdPoz5xAs5jtPLaAPG_BhWUBb6qFe1DyP9Rq2AbSvUy3b4Ff9HxVVsSf/s640/blogger-image-1826232184.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">(40 weeks and 3 days along)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Finally Friday the 14th of March came around with no change and so that night at 10:00pm we went in to be induced. That night before we went in we had cafe rio with my family and right after, hospital bag in hand we headed to McKay Dee in Ogden. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">When we arrived I was full of jitters. I didn't really know what to expect as I put on my hospital gown and sat down on the bed. After they Hooked me up with heart monitors on me and my belly, They first put a pill called cytoec up by my cervix to efface me all of the way and to possibly start getting me to contract. That lasted for a few hours as I tried to get some sleep but failed miserably. Around 3:00am ish I started feeling contractions which left me pretty dang miserable. I was not against the epidural at all and so I asked them to give me it because if I could deliver pain free I was all for it. The anesthesiologist came in and after two attempts the epidural was in place. After a few minutes I started to feel it kick in along with some nausea. I felt so sick that I actually threw up and Zack was quick that I mostly got it in a bag (a little got on my gown but that was the least of my worries). As soon as I threw up the monitors started going off like crazy and some nurses came in to check what was wrong. Damon's heart rate dropped down significantly and so they threw a oxygen mask on me and rotated me on my side to try and get his heart rate back up on his own. I was freaking out. I was so scared and I could tell the nurses were nervous. Zack put on a good face which he claims was to help me feel calm but it just freaked me out more. I felt so helpless and frustrated that I didn't know what I could do. They broke my water and put a fetal heart monitor up by his head (which I later found out that they slightly screw in his head so it stays in place which they thankfully didn't tell me till afterwards because I would of freaked out). Eventually after rotating from side to side a few times his heart rate came back up to where it was suppose to be. I started to relax a little but was still scared out if my mind that his heart rate would drop again. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I started slowly dialating which made me happy and they put me on pitocin which I was happy I already had the epidural because I have heard it pretty dang miserable if you have it naturally. I tried sleeping some but I think I was just too wired to sleep at all. Around 7:30ish my doc came in and we were talking about the possibility of doing a c section (I was dilated to a 5 but I was progressing too slowly for her liking). I was completely fine with having one, I would of preferred having him vaginally but I didn't care how he came out as long as he was healthy. His heart rate was inconsistent after each contraction and that is a sign of distress. It didn't drop that far each time but enough that we were a little worried and thought a c section might be best. While she was in the room with me, his heart rate dropped down to 50 (it was suppose to be around 135ish and that is the lowest it has ever got) within minutes we were in the operating room prepping for a c section. I was pretty much in shock the whole time. I remember holding zacks hand and just praying over and over again that our baby boy was alright and that it would be over soon. I don't think I have ever been more scared in my entire life. The anesthesiologist was really nice and I think could see my scared face by trying to make me relax by telling jokes and I just remember laughing halfheartedly because I was afraid to move because they were about to cut me open. They put the curtain up and all I could see was Zack holding my hand while the other hand was strapped down to keep my shoulders flat against the bed. I was gripping his in one hand and the strap in the other as I stared at him while he sort if talked me through it. They started cutting and I was surprised how much I could feel them moving me (and my layers of skin they cut. No pain just pressure) around.after a while I heard them say to each other if they were ready to cut my uterus because after that everything had to move very quickly. As soon as they made the cut (What I hear from Zack since he was watching) there was a ton of movement and I could feel my doc practically getting on top of me and pushing right below my ribs to get him out. I thought they would of just cut and pull him out but they make as small a cut as they can and one person pushes on him on the outside while other pull him from the inside out. He came at 8:08am. Zack said it was so cool seeing him come out of me (although right after they pull him out and hand him away they pull out the placenta which he said is one of the most disgusting things he has seen). They showed him to me real quick then wisked him away to be cleaned up and looked at. Zack went with him so all I could do was stare at the clock and wait for them to close me back up. After a few minutes Zack came in with Damon (because that is what we finally said we would name him) and put him on my shoulder. I was impatient for them to sew me up so I could fully see and hold him. Finally around 8:30am I was wheeled in to a recovery room so I could hold my sweet perfect baby boy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyWsjcFMb2yo57WNAXd6ZZzFHCJQSuncxNZjtq3p3q4_TSJ5RQp8hNT_a6lTzZyguGeaG2JdlYYw3jEQdKbU13h0dPqFT1o2DBareXnwfLGqvHKEPISq4ROerM1QzU-4kSNOZyF45L7ZDU/s640/blogger-image-162648734.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyWsjcFMb2yo57WNAXd6ZZzFHCJQSuncxNZjtq3p3q4_TSJ5RQp8hNT_a6lTzZyguGeaG2JdlYYw3jEQdKbU13h0dPqFT1o2DBareXnwfLGqvHKEPISq4ROerM1QzU-4kSNOZyF45L7ZDU/s640/blogger-image-162648734.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitYcHtgt3iIXSSS00PKTogwKYrPm5fJK6Uowr6B95jPCcPJpRbmjAweadQhkS8VU6LAvgTD3ziysjaM1MxRr7VHikHOjit3_uK3c5Ss-pFQykSJtgf3iEdBRBhgX6qyi2rL3JmBUJNsk58/s640/blogger-image--2065696726.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitYcHtgt3iIXSSS00PKTogwKYrPm5fJK6Uowr6B95jPCcPJpRbmjAweadQhkS8VU6LAvgTD3ziysjaM1MxRr7VHikHOjit3_uK3c5Ss-pFQykSJtgf3iEdBRBhgX6qyi2rL3JmBUJNsk58/s640/blogger-image--2065696726.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Damon James Wilson weighed in at 7lbs 4oz and 20 inches long born on March 15, 2014. He was perfect. I couldn't believe that he was finally here! We were so happy and proud and thankfull that he was happy and healthy. I tried breastfeeding and he latched on perfectly which of course I didn't have milk yet but I think he got enough colostrum to satisfy him.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">My parents were there when I came out of the OR so it was nice having my mom around to help out. The time in the hospital was nice. I was still numb from the waist down for the first few hours but once that wore off I started to feel the pain. The nurses were nice to keep up the pain meds but if I laughed or moved wrong I'd feel the pain. Damon was the perfect baby. He had the sweetest face and a perfectly round head since I didn't have to push him out. He had the biggest feet and hands that all of the nurses commented on them. He was very content unless he was hungry or poopy and Zack was nice enough to change him each time since I couldn't stand or lean over a changing table. We had many family and friends come and visit and meet Damon. I had food brought to me 3 times a day (if not more) and the second day in the hospital I was finally able to take a shower and walk around for a bit which was definelty needed and although it was painful it was worth it to move around a while. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAdDCqjsAPfHOD7lBguYXRkUX93T4AGmnKMlnG6LtGMBkQnrMuQMho9fBiOvn5Pkg61CM-AgrH-bhp6_p2rqf0wXewf3Wgbousity4i-7S8JQcq_k44W-Mc0cTfBc7oZhyBFYAltPSOv6q/s640/blogger-image--207838914.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAdDCqjsAPfHOD7lBguYXRkUX93T4AGmnKMlnG6LtGMBkQnrMuQMho9fBiOvn5Pkg61CM-AgrH-bhp6_p2rqf0wXewf3Wgbousity4i-7S8JQcq_k44W-Mc0cTfBc7oZhyBFYAltPSOv6q/s640/blogger-image--207838914.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">By the third day in the hospital we were starting to get a little restless and decided to leave for home (bad choice! Next baby I will stay as long as I can!). Over the next few days it was pretty much a blur. I think we were operating on autopilot just revolving our time around him and his feeding and sleeping. I was still in pain and was trying hard to not to move around too much. My milk finally came in and I had so much that he didn't even drink half of it. We tried to get in a schedule and started to get the hang of things. We did take a random trip to the ER because I was having sharp abnormal pain that my pain meds didn't help with. (which they just told me I had a buildup of fluid on my incision and it would eventually go away which it did a few days later) after that the days went by rather quickly. I was still trying to get in a schedule and get use to being a momma. Breastfeeding was a lot harder than I would of thought, I had a lot of pain and my nipples were cracked and bleeding for a long time. After I started to feel mostly back to normal (around 7 weeks postpartum) I think I finally got the hang of breastfeeding. He was such a happy and good boy. He slept great, he even gave me a few nights of 8 hours of sleep!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglfKhOCWMY9zB17SNf5ojU9mrQC0IpuNWxJrE-YW8WCyzRf-qsKvOpk_zeZIypZb-5TL0bANOuZ7IA6jisMqzz3nCIIZjW5b0WwVhYd0rG7uW_FU8ICxz70pfR27CRZwMA6o0nFOO6sJE3/s640/blogger-image-966772964.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglfKhOCWMY9zB17SNf5ojU9mrQC0IpuNWxJrE-YW8WCyzRf-qsKvOpk_zeZIypZb-5TL0bANOuZ7IA6jisMqzz3nCIIZjW5b0WwVhYd0rG7uW_FU8ICxz70pfR27CRZwMA6o0nFOO6sJE3/s640/blogger-image-966772964.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzEwkaNT8Wa6I09as-iQfwPS1GrLQ51_8_xJ39HZXrtwqe8I8DcrabI5BJUBGx7mg1j0ubVhppisvSCC89-7aDdKN-0E5qs1ADMYfnby8nNMhg25jxEMsTeNqBbrnl4WUhs0hBLa0QJQ6u/s640/blogger-image--300906234.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzEwkaNT8Wa6I09as-iQfwPS1GrLQ51_8_xJ39HZXrtwqe8I8DcrabI5BJUBGx7mg1j0ubVhppisvSCC89-7aDdKN-0E5qs1ADMYfnby8nNMhg25jxEMsTeNqBbrnl4WUhs0hBLa0QJQ6u/s640/blogger-image--300906234.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">We blessed him on May 4th 2014</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5PSWogP99eDic90NhcUWQLrr0NMJwcjvtKfO2IJb5A1BWbF0rGc95wFOv0SYBqUprvgKyDnl_GBenN164XPFVcGznDEJeE78c_j32jqflJHxVdxtsVIhyphenhyphen-ZifaDKCh4TOmIv8XfPyoA_i/s640/blogger-image--585660351.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5PSWogP99eDic90NhcUWQLrr0NMJwcjvtKfO2IJb5A1BWbF0rGc95wFOv0SYBqUprvgKyDnl_GBenN164XPFVcGznDEJeE78c_j32jqflJHxVdxtsVIhyphenhyphen-ZifaDKCh4TOmIv8XfPyoA_i/s640/blogger-image--585660351.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">He rolled for the first time when we was about 4 months old on the 24th of July. And crawled for the first time when he was around 6 mo old (it was a slow progression, first scooting, then finally started moving his arms and legs and now that he's 7 mo old he has it down to a science). He babbles and laughs and is the sweetest happiest boy. He's a little bit of a mammas boy and loves to be held but is so wonderful that I could not imagine our lives without him. He still doesn't quite sleep through the night and I just can't stomach letting him cry it out yet especially because he is teething (I think at least it seems he has been teething for months now). One of these days I will do it and just let him cry it out.

Depressing I know. There has been so much that has happened since then that it's sad I didn't keep up with it. Not only did we finally graduate, but we had a baby and moved back home to Utah!<div>So the last time I wrote I talked how we had plans to be parents on Trek and head back home to Utah to visit for the 4th of July. Trek was an unbelivable experience! We loved the family that we were put with and enjoyed experiencing was the pioneers went through. We were lucky enough to travel along the same trail that the pioneers took in Iowa and ended our journey at a church building that the pioneers used. It was a very spiritual and moving experience! </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_wdB8kEp-fD38s_Sr2B4qDGYaCqbW3TtkUPRY77yZkTRdST8lN1lSXMPIBybcP29RDGlPf8nm6xUuYol38HLMamQDESJNpt_zowW4pBc8hoFHEEkJcBj2l-gsPnFTtoe-J6v5nuXEk_XF/s640/blogger-image-581564583.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_wdB8kEp-fD38s_Sr2B4qDGYaCqbW3TtkUPRY77yZkTRdST8lN1lSXMPIBybcP29RDGlPf8nm6xUuYol38HLMamQDESJNpt_zowW4pBc8hoFHEEkJcBj2l-gsPnFTtoe-J6v5nuXEk_XF/s640/blogger-image-581564583.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieqKYd2kJ97kDOzYLA7rfpP2vkQBFQwjCINy7X05KxSO0szLbfwU_8jun7WQEaMHbLbKNoRkII4qDzN54wVxU1aHL5ajFERjcpFWodjNJodMMTx2bJWYjtPFaCyUop2OE0PvckUhNnItSV/s640/blogger-image--672915052.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieqKYd2kJ97kDOzYLA7rfpP2vkQBFQwjCINy7X05KxSO0szLbfwU_8jun7WQEaMHbLbKNoRkII4qDzN54wVxU1aHL5ajFERjcpFWodjNJodMMTx2bJWYjtPFaCyUop2OE0PvckUhNnItSV/s640/blogger-image--672915052.jpg"></a>When we finished, Zack and I changed and headed straight to Utah. After walking for 3 days and then being in the car for 16 hrs straight my feet swelled and partly because little did we know I was pregnant! We found out we were expecting on the 5th of July and were so happy and excited! We were a little surprised how quick it happened (it only took is 3 months of trying!) but were thrilled/excited/scared/nervous nonetheless (like I'm sure all expecting parents are). It was a lot of fun visiting family and friends even though we had this huge secret that we didn't want to tell anyone yet! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">We went back home to Vermillion and started up our last semester of school! We couldn't wait to be done with it and were anxious to see what our life had ahead of us. All of my classmates were pretty surprised when they found out I was pregnant. I was weird enough being married and in school now I'm pretty sure they thought I was crazy being pregnant and in school lol. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Zack and I both worked for the athletics department for USD and during the football season we were lucky enough to travel with the team to all of their away games! It was so fun and were grateful to help the school out. Zack filmed and helped out the team for the football team and I filmed the games for the sports info department and for the media's use. We went to Arizona, Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska! I was a little nervous being pregnant and traveling but we had no problems occur whole we were doing it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhguYUpEX_97XVgw_jrRqZhf_u6XeiUjo3CuW_UzwIGYeh9gGmGL21_lOsGLYcWyyVw05vwiaSO1CA1kw1cp7_vwZSNbYKDdX-noXB7AgM5OuS-KLdc_grss8_nJQYdIxHqoQ_cbt6999N2/s640/blogger-image-2042067887.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhguYUpEX_97XVgw_jrRqZhf_u6XeiUjo3CuW_UzwIGYeh9gGmGL21_lOsGLYcWyyVw05vwiaSO1CA1kw1cp7_vwZSNbYKDdX-noXB7AgM5OuS-KLdc_grss8_nJQYdIxHqoQ_cbt6999N2/s640/blogger-image-2042067887.jpg"></a>(Us in Flagstaff Az)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Towards the end of the year, Zack started looking for jobs after he graduated. We were willing to go anywhere really that was a good job that we knew Zack would enjoy. It was getting down to the wire and we were days away from graduation when he finally got hired with Daktronics which is a company based out of SD. Surprisingly enough the job was for being the area representative for Utah, Idaho and Vegas so back home to Utah we went! We were sad to say goodbye to all of our friends in Vermillion but were anxious to get on with the next chapter of our life. We made some of the best friendships there though, some that we will hold on to for the rest of our lives! There was something special about the people there that has stayed with us and has honestly made it a little hard to get use to living back in Utah. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">So we graduated and moved back while I was 6 months pregnant! It was kind of nice because I couldn't lift anything but frustrating because I felt a little useless. We moved into a townhouse in Kaysville and now are currently looking looking for a house. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Zack likes his job a lot! He gets to work from home and travel every few weeks and I get to be full time mommy! He sells marquees, scoreboards and other sporting technology for schools junior college level and below. It's weird for me not being at school or work but I keep myself busy especially now that Damon is 7 mo old! But I'm getting ahead of myself, I think I'll do another post that explains the pregnancy and birth story. So for the rest of our life up to now see that one since our life now pretty much revolves around him!</div></div><br></div><br></div>Tara Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14398568110724956747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679643582474267936.post-15772742757248914202014-10-15T12:02:00.001-07:002014-10-15T12:06:13.890-07:00Photography contest<div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><img align="center" height="406" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEhnXpvNm5e8i5-LmiEW2Ts-3XLxcfMtnM42uBYdEvr01ys3vKzMgfrx7Tdq5M1nbjNnAjLmaxjU2UQEDveZpiSHCTZuv8AmGvAK_3Bwo0vCVCS3UoAWsw6DPlg-o3QUr8V1kZE8DF3WdqrezA0991PnIC0fwUoA3CLLy-MQqE1viflMP-t3h3A8Kf4eZmv3p7XybtPfsAqXSfwUgdahDcZV15vOacvCkA=s0-d-e1-ft" width="400" style="border: 0px; text-align: center; width: 400px; min-height: 406px; margin: 0px; outline: none; max-width: 756px;"></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><div style="clear:both"><a href="</span><a href="http://snapknot.com/" target="_blank" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-decoration: none;">http://snapknot.com</a><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">"><</span><wbr style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">img src="</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1pN0GD9" target="_blank" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-decoration: none;">http://bit.ly/1pN0GD9</a><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">" title="Find a photographer" alt="Find a photographer" border="0" /></a></div><div>Image courtesy of: SnapKnot - <a href="</span><a href="http://snapknot.com/" target="_blank" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; text-decoration: none;">http://snapknot.com</a><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">">Fin</span><wbr style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">d a photographer</a></div></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>Tara Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14398568110724956747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679643582474267936.post-67501892416323224552013-05-18T18:03:00.001-07:002013-05-18T18:03:43.120-07:00Minnesota Trip/Summer PlansSo for the end of semester we celebrated and went on a trip to Minnesota with our friends Nicole and Dallin Hardy and Stephanie and Scott Stevens.

It was a wonderful trip that was a nice break before Zack and I went back to work full time for the summer. Its going to be a busy summer for us, I have girls camp in two weeks (which by the way I was made 2nd counselor of the STAKE YW presidency so now I have a lot more to do with girls camp and monthly activities and visiting all of the branches/wards in our stake), and two weeks after that Zack and I are going to be parents at Trek with the youth (we are SUPER excited!) We are also going to try to make a trip back home to UT for the 4th to spend some time w/ family, go to the cabin and visit friends again for a week or so. And then back to school for one more semester of our college careers! (YEAH) So happy its summer!Tara Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14398568110724956747noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679643582474267936.post-47898597975906708712013-03-18T15:44:00.000-07:002013-03-18T15:44:09.071-07:00Wedding video 1.5 years laterSo I remembered I never put my wedding video up anywhere so I decided to finally put ours up!

I am horrible at writing here but I feel like I have nothing to write about till we start having babies (not yet, but in the near future).<br />
BUT anyways what has happened since last year is we had summer which consisted of me working at Maurices, and going to girls camp<br />

We swam at the pool any chance we got and just enjoyed the freedom while we can before school started again. We did make it home to Utah for the 4th of July and for my adorable nephew Camdens blessing day, which was so much fun I loved every minute I got with that adorable little man.<br />

Its crazy to think he'll be a year old on March 12!<br />
Anyways after the summer ended, Zack had to get back into football, which was his last year playing (I think I was more sad about that than he was, I miss him playing already!). He was definitely ready to be done. We had a pretty hectic class schedules, being in our upper level courses and I was working 2 jobs (Maurices and at the athletics department for the school). The last home game, we were lucky enough to have our families come visit! My parents came out and Zacks mom, sister Chloe and her husband Mike, and his brother Kaleb all came out to see him play one last time. It was so much fun having them all here and being able to celebrate Zacks conclusion to his 5 years in collegiate play.<br />

Thankfully the semester ended and right before we left for Utah for Chads wedding on 12-12-12, we bought a new car!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And then we flew out on the 11th (we had to push our finals to the week before finals because the 11th was beginning of finals week) and were able to be at Chad and Kaylee's wedding on the 12th. It was so much fun being there and having all 8 of us in attendance in the temple. we are so grateful to be a member of the church and to have the knowledge that we are all sealed for time and all eternity together.<br />

Then we had christmas which we were so spoiled and really enjoyed spending time with all our family and friends. after that, we flew to Arizona to meet up with Booke and Mike Neilson, and from there traveled to LA to go on a CRUISE!!!! We were on a Carnival ship called the splendor for a 7 day Mexico Rivera cruise line, to Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta. It was an unforgettable trip.<br />

We snorkeled, laid on the beach, zip lined, saw baby turtles hatch and go out to sea, bargained our way through flee markets, ate authentic mexican, mini golfed, and ate 10 lbs worth of food. <span style="text-align: center;">We actually got an extra free day because when we were in Puerto Vallarta they had to fix something on the cruise ship which I didn't really complain about because that day happened to be my birthday! So on my birthday, I got cheap stuff at the flee markets, and laid on the beach. When we finally got back to South Dakota, it was 15 degrees. I really miss that 80 degree weather.</span><br />
Now we are coming up to spring break, its midterms and Zack is trying to stay busy now that football is over and working at the country club about 3 days a week, while I am interning at the Sports Information Department at the university (same place I worked before just with an intern). We are both taking about 15 credits and plan to graduate next semester in December. Our tentative plans are to move back to Utah to be close to family but we'll see what happens.Tara Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14398568110724956747noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679643582474267936.post-85090538320275541202012-05-12T21:55:00.002-07:002012-05-12T21:55:12.845-07:00Brian Regan and The RiverSo we went to see Brian Regan in Sioux Falls a couple weeks ago as a celebration for finals it was a lot of fun! we went to a brazilian grill right before called the Carnival (which is similar to tucanos and rodizio grill for people from utah) which was really good! gotta love the grilled pineapple :)<br />

Then we went to liberty Jail which was the spot that it took place but they rebuilt a lot of what it looked like while joseph smith and the other prisoners where incarcerated in.<br />

it was really spiritual and cool to see what they had to go through while in that prison. I really think the youth enjoyed learning more about the history of our gospel.<br />
After that we went to Independence Missouri where we went through the open house they have there, as well as going to the corner stones that are laid on the temple site of the Independence Missouri temple which will be built someday in the future which is a major turning point in our church. <br />

After that we were on our way home. this was sortof a scary ride for me because there were some tornado warnings up the road ahead of us. we took our time and stopped off to eat where we waited even longer for the winds to die down a little bit. we were truely blessed because just 7 miles up the road there was some sort of a tornado, there were 6 semi's thrown off the road, a tree completely demolished, and a farming equipment broken and thrown all around a field. we really had the spirit guiding us throughout this trip because if we were to of left probably 30 minutes earlier we could have been affected by it.<br />
This whole trip was a humbling experience and one that I am sure to never forget. I was grateful for the opportunity to be able to go, and I love being a leader for these awesome youth. they are truly inspiring and bless my life daily.<br />
Other news with Zack and I, we had our first easter here without family which was a lot of fun! we went over to our friends the Scmidts house and ate with them and the Tripps and their families which was so enjoyable. the next day we did not have classes because of easter so we went with the Shcmidts and the Christiansons (his dad is the Mormon tablernacle choir's organist. ya i've met him. i'm cool) and their families to the zoo down in Omaha which was one of the coolest zoo's i've ever seen. definitly worth the trip.<br />
Other than that we are just excited for finals to be over with and for summer to finally arrive. This semester has been pretty hard on both of us and we are really ready for a break.Tara Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14398568110724956747noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679643582474267936.post-16989966500513256292012-03-06T19:06:00.000-08:002012-03-06T19:06:11.148-08:00Been too longSo yes I know it has been forever since I updated this.... <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>It is currently spring break for us and we are enjoying it immensely! today was awesome! the weather was almost 80 degrees! so zack and I went out on our new scooter (yes we bought a scooter a few weeks ago and we finally pulled it out and went for a scoot ride). we rode around verm town and went down the hill to the park by vermillion river. it was really nice! if only the trees looked alive and had a little bit of green instead of the yucky brown every where it would be even better but it was still really nice. <br />

Since the last time I posted we had the end of the semester, where zack ended his first year of football here at USD, wish he would of played a little more but what can you do. there is a new head coach this coming year so hopefully he will get more playing time this next season. we also had Christmas. we went back to Utah for it. it was really nice to be able to spend our first christmas with our families. but before we left we had our own little christmas tree and all. we decorated it all with homemade ornaments. i attempted to do the 12 days of chirstmas for zack (but failed and it ended up being 8 days of christmas then quitting once we got to Utah haha) but here is the tree. <br />

we also started a new semester and are both taking a lot of classes and have been very busy this semester. I was accepted to be apart of the Ambassador program here so this semester I have also been giving tours and all on campus which I am really enjoying. so between that, work, zacks football and our classes we've been really busy and have really enjoyed this spring break so far.<br />
We also had a superbowl party over here with a bunch of our friends out here from the branch who are awesome! it was a lot of fun and Brooke Neilson made a cake that was suppose to be for the REAL teams that should of been playing<br />

I knew that eventually we'd lose touch cause thats what always seems to happen and its your true friends that stick around and all but its still just weird to not be close to some of them. I found this quote and thought i'd share it will all of you 5 people or so who actually look at my blog haha<br />
<br />
This is my wish for you: <u><i><b>Comfort</b></i></u> on difficult days, <u><b><i>smiles</i></b></u> when sadness intrudes,<b><i><u> rainbows</u></i></b> to follow the clouds, <u><i><b>laughter</b></i></u> to kiss your lips, <u><b><i> sunsets </i></b></u>to warm your hear,<b><i><u> hugs</u></i></b> when spirits sag, <b><i><u>beauty</u></i></b> for your eyes to see, <u><i><b>friendships</b></i></u> to brighten your being,<u><i><b> faith</b></i></u> so that you can believe, <b><i><u>confidence </u></i></b>for when you doubt, <b><i><u>courage</u></i></b> to know yourself, <b><i><u>patience</u></i></b> to accept the truth, and <b><i><u>Love</u></i></b> to complete your life<br />

We're really excited to play against SUU because there's some guys from Snow on the team so it'll be nice to see them again :) its too bad they didnt stay here in Vermillion then we could of hung out with them longer than just at the game (the entire town hotels/motels and all is full because of D-Days) but oh well.Tara Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14398568110724956747noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679643582474267936.post-83095551610086251282011-09-14T18:46:00.000-07:002011-09-14T18:46:53.835-07:00the last month or soYes I know I am a horrible person and I said I would post more..... ya i'm a slacker basically haha but i'll just say whats been up to us for the past month or so.<br />

which was a beautiful wedding and I was so happy to be able to go. Zack unfortunately had to stay home because he had football camp. After I got back school started and it has got a lot busier since then. Zack went to Colorado for the game against Air Force on the 3rd of September which they unfortunaly lost but it was a good game. and Last weekend they played against the #1 team Eastern Washington and totally dominated 30 to 17 :) it was awesome. I work for the AD department at the school so I was doing stats for the game which I actually talked to ESPN throughout the game giving updated stats for the game it was pretty cool.<br />

Zack and I met at Snow College in August of 2009. I had just graduated from Clearfield High School and he was starting his second year at Snow playing football. I went to the institute dance that was going on (i'd say it was a monday or tuesday we cant really remember haha) with my two roommates Dani Anderson and Stephanie Davis (who is now married and now her last name is Batty). He went with his roommate Brayden Stembridge (who's on a mission in Peru currently). Dani knew Brayden and thats how the 5 of us started talking. technically there was 6 of us there cause our neighbor that lived above us was ANNOYING!!!! and would pop out of no where (STALKER!!!! Yes i would say he stalked me for sure!!!) and when travis walked up to us girls is about the same time we ran into Zack and Brayden (Thank goodness cause I did not want to talk to Travis) and we all left a few minutes later (the dance was a bust!) but only Brayden came over to our house to hang out. so i tell Brayden to get his cute friend over there, and sure enough Zack came over. I thought he was a interesting return missionary that always spoke with his hands and was pretty cute! after a few minutes of talking one of his friends Daniel Dodd came to our apartment to get us and have us go hot tubing with them. it was a lot of fun and Zack and I really enjoyed our conversations we had that night. I must have been saying the right things because a few days later he asked me on a date to go watch the local Derby there in Ephraim and of course i said yes.<br />

we tripled with Dani and a guy that she started dating pretty seriously Bryn Roy, and my other roommate Liz Neilson and Gavin Jones (that only lasted that one date. i've never seen liz so nervous for a date before haha) it was the funnest date!! we rode on the rides and during the derby when they were getting the cars ready or whatever, all of us, but liz, did a race in the middle haha i swear i should of won but they said that one of the other girls beat me HA!! whatair! but anyways that was the night that zackary kissed me. yes i know on the first date and all. he would say that I wanted it and that when we were at the rides at the derby i was totally begging for it but no. not true. haha<br />
anyways we saw each other every day after that (except when he went away for the weekends for football) and he asked about us dating seriously after a month or so but i said no no i'm too young i need to experience life first (HA) and i also thought i was dead set on going on a mission (thats were he always adds in 'ya i knew that wasnt going to be happening' haha) well after a few months on November 16th of 2009 we became 'official' as you call it.<br />

we had some good times dating and getting to know each other. we both had pretty busy lives with school, he had football and i had ambassadors and my other jobs but we always made time for each other. we both had moments of doubt where yes we did unfortunately hurt each other but because of those times we truly realized how important we are in each others lives and how much we really cant live without the other. we both went to Snow College together for 3 semesters and his 4th semester he went of to the University of South Dakota because he has a football scholarship there and was done at snow so he went to a semester there while i finished up my time at Snow. it sucked being so far apart from each other but we made it work. "Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder"! haha<br />
We luckily both had spring break at the same time and thats when he FINALLY proposed to me.<br />

it was absolutely perfect. When i arrived at his house, i walk in to see candles all over the room with music playing and the fire place blazing. He told me to dress fancy (I totally knew it was coming haha) and he wore a shirt and tie (very classy). he made me some delicious pasta, and it was really funny because i could tell how nervous he was cause everytime we sat down to eat he didnt touch his food and if any of you know zack thats not like him at all haha. so on the table were the most beautiful tulips i've ever seen (my favorite flowers). they were white tulips that had been dipped in blue dye so the tips of the tulips were blue. it was gorgeous. so he tells me to come stand by him by the tulips and he says "so the blue dye did a cool thing to the pollen inside" and he peeks inside a tulip. I'm curious and peek over his shoulder then he says "oh thats not a good one look in that one" and points to a tulip and when i look in, it throws me off guard because i did not expect him to do that, but thats where the most beautiful perfect ring was. i pull it out and he would say that he said all of this stuff on how rings dont come from tulips (i didnt hear a word of this though i was too excited/crying/anxious to actually hear him say this) and he gets down on one knee and says "Tara Wayment, will you marry me" and of course i said yes! nothing could have made me happier at that time than that. it was perfect. we spent a wonderful week together planning and enjoying our time together before he had to go back to South Dakota to finish out the semester.<br />
once we were done with classes and he came home time seemed to fly by. he started working for a dish company selling door to door in provo (yes once again far away from me) and i started mowing lawns again for the second summer (loved it and i really miss working with the girls and paul).<br />
we were married on June 14th 2011 in the Salt Lake Temple.<br />

Zack and I were the only ones in the temple room as we were waiting for everyone to arrive, and when we emerged from the temple our family was the only family really out there to greet us. we never felt rushed or hurried, and it was perfect. after taking pictures at the temple we had our luncheon at the Wight House in Bountiful and then the reception in Layton at the Chantilly Mansion. it was perfect. I would of never guess so many people to come support us on our special day. I truly felt loved. of course i was surprised by a few who didnt show but it being on a tuesday i understand.<br />
we spent two nights in the Anniversary Inn in Salt Lake in the Romeo & Juliet room (AWESOME!!!!!!!!) and then went down to St George where we went to the Tuacan to see "the Little Mermaid" performed (once again it was AMAZING!!!!!) and to vegas for a day. it was wonderful we didnt want to come home. but we had to and after that we packed up, and headed out here to Vermillion South Dakota. like i said, i NEVER imagined myself out here. but there is a great branch out here and great friends that I am already feeling very comfortable with. we truly are blessed to be memebers of the church and as i'm living outside of Utah for the first time i'm beginning to truly understand what that means.<br />
We just spend the 4th of july with our new friends the Mike and Brook Neilson and the Terrance and Andrea Coomb and each of their babies, SO SO Cute!!! and it was a lot of fun shooting off fireworks that i always have grown up as them being illegal but here it was all good! it was a lot of fun!!<br />
well thats it for now. haha wow that was long i'll hopefully stay consistent with this and continue to blog. we'll see :)Tara Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14398568110724956747noreply@blogger.com2
