Loves and Freedom

Well day 1 of being a full time mommy went well. It was justin's day off yesterday too so we had fun spending the day as a family. Ash had her bridal shower hosted by non other than myself. It was funny. So glad that everyone could show up..Today I went to the doctor and Keaston is still a boy! ha He's doing so good and is 7 oz now. I can't believe how active he's been today. It will be fun to see what he looks like when he is born.


My aunt Traci started running Ragnar today! She just text me and she is finished with her hardest part of the race!!! yay. She is alive. She said it was the hardest but best thing she has ever done. I would love to run it with her next year. I'm going up to volunteer tomorrow and see her. I'm excited to see all them running. It'll be fun.

Justin has been crazy busy at work with his new promotion. I'm so proud of him. All his hard work is paying off. I can't wait for him to be done with school and doing what he truly loves.

Laundry is calling my name.
Loves..

Life comes at you fast but feels slow.

This past week has been one of those weeks.I had no idea what to do wtih my life or where I was going. I had people in my life I trusted with my life and it all fell apart. After knowing each other for so long they decided that someone new in their life had a higher place and they believed them over everything. It's hard to understand how these things happen but I've learned no matter what we want to say it doesn't come out for reasons. I sat there taking in everything she was saying and I was tongue tied. I couldn't figure out how to say it and explain that that was not what I said or ever meant...but after it all I found out that it didn't matter, and I needed to rely on my heavenly father more. Justin even got a permotion at work today! Things happen for reasons. I'm so excited to start our new lives. I start being a full time mommy tomorrow. Karston will be with me all the time. Poor little guy...ha We get to see how big Keaston is now on Friday. That always helps cheer me up. I'm starting to feel him more now. It's interesting how each baby is different. I thought forsure this one was a girl cause I was having the opposite of everything that happened with Karston. Karston is almost one now too. This year has gone by so fast. I just am so happy and love my little family.

If I have learned anything this week it is that I need to stand for what I believe and not let anyone take that away from me anymore. Heavenly Father has given me courage to do what is right and I need to make that stand.

loves always.

September 14th 2011

Well it has been awhile since I've been on here. Much has happened. J is still workin at impact and now back in school. Karston is growing up so much sometimes it makes me sad how fast. He went to the doctors last week and he now weighs 14.9 lbs and 23.5 inch long. I had my gallbladder out 3 weeks ago. NO MORE PAIN!!! yay. Rather than that just workin still. This past weekend we went on our first family trip to Jackson Hole. We were uncle scott lucas's pit crew for the LOTOJA bike race. It is 206 miles from Logan to Jackson. It was way fun. We were in charge of Afton. When he pulled up we had him out within 15 seconds. We were dang fast. It was super fun. We went on the tram in the Teton Village just outside of jackson on sunday. It was very high up. J kept yelling at me to get away from the edge with the baby. It was way funny but he was so serious. We had a good time with the family. Getting late and the baby is hungry. Loves muches.

July 8th Best day of our lives!

Well lets start off with July 7th at 1:10 in the afternoon. My mom and I had just gotten back from looking for my sister and new bed set. I started to walk up the stairs into my mom's house and.....MY WATER BROKE!!! I wasn't sure what was going on and my mom was like go to the bathroom and see if it really did. I got in the bathroom and I had no idea what I was doing! I yelled for my mom to help me decide if I really had and than all this water came out again. I called Justin at work and told him to come get me. He of course did not believe me at first when I told him. He rushed home and off to the hospital we went. We got there and got all checked in and they said well you can have your epidural right now if you want and I said I wanted to wait to see what contractions felt like and everything. That lasted about 4 hours. I started getting really bad and fast ones. Justin said this is enough and pushed the call light. The nurse came in and he was like give the drugs NOW! ha It didn't hurt as bad as I though it would be at all. Honestly I think the IV that was put in my hand hurt worse than the epidural. Call me crazy but it's true. Than I spiked a fever which meant infection somewhere which is not good for the baby they would send him to nicu when he was born. Than he was faced up which is harder to deliver and than he had pooped inside me. It was like all this bad news all at once. They put new IV fluids in me that were cold to try and bring down my temp along with ice packs and no blankets for me. I was freezing cold. They gave me medicine to try and bring it down but my stomach was empty so I just felt sick. Than Dr. Cox popped in. He said nothing good was on TV that night so he came in to push things along faster. ha He had me start doing pre pushing and everyone goes LOOK AT ALL THAT HAIR. yay my baby had hair. =) than he got the baby turned around. Thank goodness. We pushed for about 15 min and he said ok lets get this baby out. I was pushing and justin kept saying there he is jess there is our baby. After only 5 pushes he was out. Because of the pooping they had a resp nurse there to look at him, but she didn't get the chance to look at him because he started crying the min his feet came out. He was gorgeous!!! =) I couldn't believe he was finally here.

Karston Dean Hull

Born 7/8/2011 12:33 am

9lbs 2 oz 21 1/2 inch

JULY 5TH!!!!

So it's offically the 5th now and still no baby Karston. I'm very tired but still working which is nice cause I get to be with my cute 2 friends that keep me smiling. Wish the baby would get here though. Justin is very nervous about the baby coming. Everytime I move at night he freaks out and asks if I'm ok. It's nice that he cares so much but he's not sleeping cause of all the stress. We now have insurance!!! YAY! Work is so slow today. Hopefully we have a baby tonight. cross your fingers.

April 16th...

Being pregnant can be a very emotional time. I've found this out the more and more I go through this. I found myself crying most of yesterday not knowing what to do with my life. Work has been heck, the baby wouldn't let me see him on the ultra sound, justin's leaving for a week, and I have no friends. I just don't know what to do with my life anymore. I would love to be in school right now but I know I need to help J get through first. I guess i'm just at that point in my life I need to take a step back and realize everything I have. I want to be happy it just seems to slip away from me sometimes. I've been given 2 of the best gifts in the world. A husband who I love dearly and a healthy baby on his way. I am very gratefull to my heavenly father for both of them. Justin did surprise me with putting up the crib while Ash was doing my nails yesterday. That was fun. We sat in Karston's room and he just rocked me for awhile.

Fillmore is approaching slowly. I wish it would come faster. I wanna go so bad. I need a break from everything here. I just wish I got to ride my favorite trail this year. I only get to go on the easy stuff. No riding down the river and up to the indian writings. Just look how beautiful it looks! Hopefully we'll make it down again before fall so I can ride it once this year.

Ty's Surgery!

Well Ty is finally out of surgery!!!! Doctors say it went great. He is in recovery right now, still not awake. The Doctor said there was so much infection in his bone they had to take the whole bone out, but now the infection doesn't have a place to hide and make him so sick. Now all we have to do is keep him from running, jumping, and falling for 6 weeks. Does this doctor not know any 6 year olds. Which kid at age 6 will listen as you sit him or her down and tell her basically your to live in a box for 6 weeks and never move. I THINK NOT! We're just glad he's doing well though. We all can't wait for him and mom to come home tomorrow. Got to Love our little Ty.

April 10th HELP!!

No one ever talks about the none fun parts of being pregnant. ha These past few weeks I've had heartburn so bad it gets to the point that I throw up. My body doesn't digest anything and I just feel so tired. Everything everyone tells me to try works for about 30 min and then BAM i'm back to square one. it's not so fun but then I remember the cute little guy inside me and how he is worth all this. I love him so much. We have a doctors appointment on friday and hopefully all goes well.

Ash and I have had a lot of fun the past few days. We scrap booked a bunch of pages the other night and then yesterday we found her a new prom dress. It's gorgeous. Luckily my amazing husband allowed us to help buy it so she could have it. He thought the dress would be like 400 dollars and it was only 170! He is so good to me. =) we were just going "looking" and when we came home with a dress my parents didn't believe us. ha oh little do they know we were honest the whole time except we told them we got it for $100. but shhhh they don't need to know anything different. Her date is pretty excited to wear pink. which surprised us both. We still also need sleeves.

Nursery went really well today. All the kids had fun and we learned about families. This was a hard lesson cause everyone wanted mom or dad today, but we got through it. We got out late so we saw a few people we knew and everyone though we were inactive cause we are in nursery and no one sees us. The bishop thinks i'm due in 3 weeks which makes me laugh. I said 3 months and he heard weeks. Well I better sign off for now my cute husband misses his wifey. it looks so lonely and sad when i'm not cuddled up right next to him. But how could I say no to his cute face?

Just look at it. =) Boy do I love him. Well for now word and love.

April 8th!!!

Well it's been one of those weeks filled with work, cooking, work, and cooking. ha with the way our schedules work I feel that we go to work or school come home and then eat and go to bed. The things this cute little baby does to me. =) Got my bonus tuesday which was AMAZING! It was a lot of money boy can i say! More then a normal check for me. So mom and I went shopping. Got new decoration for my door and I bought a new outfit and a dress for church! I love my new dress. It's so light weight so i won't get hot! yay!!!!!! Then justin and I went a picked out our pack'n'play. Which I always jsut call a Graco. It's so cute and the baby will love sleeping in it!!! I'll put a picture of it later. Just wanted to hurry and write my last few days out before I forget. Justin doesn't understand why I use this as a journal cause everyone can read it but I only write for my children to one day know how life is for me so it'll be read anyways. ha Boys just don't understantd. Going to put up the crib now! yay!!! it's getting so close. Loves.

April 2nd, 2011

Well today will be an interesting one. I'm leaving here shortly to go visit my brother Josh. He's been in a lot of trouble these past year. I would say what for what it bring back a lot of bagage with it and I don't wanna remember the things that have happened. I'm really nervous to go see him. I couldn't sleep all night thinking about it. I kept having this dream that he hurt my baby and it scares me more than anything. I know he can't do anything cause he'll be gone for a long time but I still feel like this little guy inside me......i don't even know what I'm trying to say. On a happier note ash did my nails last night. It was her first set of nails on a person! It took us ALL NIGHT! ha 3 1/2 hours. Which honestly I didn't think was to bad for her first time but I had to give her a hard time. After all she is my little sis. =) For it being her first set she didn't do bad at all. I'm not trying to rip them off yet which means something. ha I'm one that has to have them perfect too so she must have done good. ha Justin loves that I have nails back on too. He knew I didn't sleep well all night so he would roll over kiss me and then tell me "know what would make you feel better?! scratching my back." he thinks he's so funny. It must of been an off night of sleep for him too cause I would wake up and the blanket would be over my head and he would be saying we had to protect me and the baby from the bolder dust. ha He's such a protecter. I love him. Well now it's a new day. Was to busy to finish last night. The meeting with Josh went well. He seems so much more humble and was really excited to see us all. I was glad I went. I actually miss him, but I know it's better for him being there. We also went to Shane Co. and got Ash's graduation ring. It's gorgeous! She's upset that she can't wear it till graduation day, I just hope that my parents stick to that. It was fun being with them all yesterday cause it felt like when it was just the four of us before. Today has been a good day also cause of all the messages of conference. It's amazing how much the spirit really does touch the speakers. They all spoke directly to me I feel. We're just finishing up conference then dinner with Brian and Kat. Turkey dinner today! yummmmmmy. The baby can smell it and is kickin like crazy. ha =) Well that is all for today. Till tomorrow LOVES and WORDS. 98 days (3months 7days) till our little guy is here! yay only 14 more weeks.

Life Comes at you fast!!!

Life sure does come at you fast but when you look back you don't want any one part changed. =) I feel bad it's been so long since I've been on here but it seems i've missed placed a little word called time. I believe the last time I posted was when my "boyfriend" came home from his mission. Well here is our story for everyone to hear.

Once justin got home April 22nd he asked my dad for permission to date me which he was so nervous to do. =) On May 5th Justin surprised me and asked me to marry him for time and all eternity infront of the Logan temple. He asked me in sign language which was so adorable even though he said it wrong. ha but i couldn't ask for anything more. =)

Much planning began and spending every min possible with each other was a no brainer to everyone but a few. ha We decided to be married on August 12th, 2010. It was a never ending 3 1/2 months to us but it truly did go by fast. We had many fun times that summer leading up to our wedding day. We went to Fillmore, flour fights, mud fights, cuddling on the couch, and simply just holding his hand for the first time in 2 years was amazing. You never understand the how much you just miss the little things in life until they are taken from you. The little things he would say just to see you giggle or smile. It was simple I had the BEST FINANCE EVER!

Then came the best day of my life. AUGUST 12, 2010 we were sealed for time and all eternity in the most sacraed of all places. In the Salt Lake Temple. You have no ideas and the emotions and feelings running through me as Justin helped me knee down on the alter and then hold his hand and be sealed for time and all eternity. I had finally recieved the one thing I had ever wanted in life. To have found my prince charming and be married

to him in the same place my parents were. They have found so much happiness in there life it was bound to be the same for me. I truly do love my husband and can't go one day without being with him. He is my every breath. I love you Justin.

We have now spent seven glorious months together as a married couple and I still get the butterflies when he does cute things and he still makes me giggle when I see him, but one thing has changed.....We are having a BABY! ha it was a surprise but we couldn't ask for anything better. Our cute little baby boy will be due on July 10th. He is already so big. At our last appointment which was 2 weeks ago he weighed 2lbs. We can't wait to meet our little angel Karston Dean Hull. I don't have a good pic of him on my computer so i'll put one up of him soon.

Well that is our life in a nut shell for the past year. ha So many stories to share but don't wanna bore lives. ha It's so amazing to feel happy and that my life is the way I've always wanted it to be. Everyone deserves happiness and it took me a long time to realize that didn't exclude me. To all my friends and family we love you and thank you for you support. Till next time WORD.

aug. 12 2010

With all the crazyness in my life I finally found time the day of my wedding. ha people always told me i would sleep fine the morning of my wedding! psht don't let them lie to you. i'm wide awake sitting her watching every second slow tick by like it's the end of the world. I CAN'T BELIEVE JUSTIN AND I ARE GETTING MARRIED! ha i'm sitting in my bed with my bestie friend chirelle and we are just talking. I think she is more nervous for me then I am myself. ahaha i love her. she makes me calm down which is good cause I have been maybe just a little bridzilllllllla to my family. sorry mom. today is the day that I will marry my best friend for eternity.

Good morning!
I'M GETTING MARRIED!!! In 106 days. =) well it's unoffically offical. Temple called, honeymoon book, and many things. Just waiting for my cute poor boyfriend to porpose. It's crazy how fast things really go when it's right. Justin found out his major got moved to Weber. Ever since we decided to move to Ogden now everything is going perfect. We've got a house, jobs, school, and family. Everything is perfect. Boy do I love him. He's got a job interview at impact guns in SLC. Hopefully he gets the job. If he does we've got to buy a new car! yay. ha well need to shower and go to class.

jess.

04.22 his homecoming.

So I didn't think i would get to post our story till after the weekend but i found myself laying in bed wide awake excited to see justin this morning so i thought i would let all you guys in on our first day back together.

It all started out at 3 am. I couldn't sleep cause i was so excited and nervous. I tried everything I could think of to sleep but nothing worked. I finally gave up and slowly found things to distract me till about 6:30 when everyone started waking up getting ready for work and school. My dad was probably the best one to talk to that morning. As him and I talked about what was going to come that day he told me, " i'm sorry jess, but i do not allow mexicans in our house so you can't see justin. (he went spanish speaking so he's the mexican around here now) I turned looked at my dad and said, "dad you have 2 half mexican children!" we both sat and laughed awhile. Then the morning slooooooooowly went by. Everything was ready: my sign, family, me, hair done, make up on, clothes on. We got in the car at 10:45. Picked up my little brother from preschool, got some lunch, stopped at the store, and then headed to the airport. We got there found everyone and his plane was coming in not at 12:37 but now 12:28!!! We all sat waiting for about 20 min and then a security guard came down and was like what flight are you waiting for? we told him and he called the tower and asked if flight 4768 had landed yet. HE WAS HERE! now waiting for him to get down the stairs to us. We sat waiting and then there he was! BAMB. This huge glowing ball of light looking down at us. I couldn't tell if he had saw me so i just stood in the back cause i knew we couldn't hug but only shake hands. He slowly started around the huge group of people waiting for him it see me, and you could tell he was searching for me then our eyes meet! Huge fireworks going off and all those feelings i had before he left rushing more strong than ever before inside of me. He just smiled at me. As he got down to the last few of us his hand went for my mom then sister then he got to me. Standing 10 billion miles apart it felt like we just stood there. wanting to hug more than every we just stared smiling. everyone looking at us he just whisipered to me still very far away from me 6 more hours, 6 more hours. We've got this. We got everything taken care of and got up to the cars. We said our goodbyes and he told me he would call me. I waited and waited and waited and waited. The day your missionary gets home you think the waiting is over, but guess what it's not. You wait at the airport then for him to be released. 4 hours pass and he finally calls telling me he's getting relased in 15 min and it should take no longer than 15 min. 5:45 hits no justin. 6 hits no justin. Finally at 6:15 he shows up and we HUG!!!!!!!!!!!!! i did not want to let go. Everything was normal the rest of the night. Just as if we were picking up where we left off. it was amazing. =) the night progressed and we went to an awards thing for his brother austin. as we were leaving to come home we were walking the hall of weber university and i told him how i was so nervous that he would get off the plane and be like ok jk i don't love you anymore jess. we laughed and then we stopped right before hitting the doors. He took me in his arms looked me in the eyes and said he had been in the temple the day before and all he could think about is how he wanted me there with him. standing with him going through the temple with him. he knew that i was to be there with him. already being so giddy from the day i just sat there with a huge smile and he leaned in and kissed me!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH i was freakin out! this was perfect. =) we walked to the car and he translated this song from spanish that described a guy wanting a girl to wait for him. it was us so much. we then journeyed home visiting my grandparents and then going home to my family. we got home and we're all just talking. i got my computer out to help justin decide on classes and what not when he had his hand on my knee and my dad flipped. he said sorry but i still see you as a missionary. you can hold her hand but i need time to see your hand on her knee. i was just laughing. i was so happy to be with him again. we sat there cuddled up for hours just talking and getting to know each other again. =) then i decided to pull out my scriptures. we read in 3 nephi about how the apostles wanted to go straight to heaven and live to be 72. justin explained how that was his 2 year mission. then he said the other 3 asked that they be able to live forever and teach of thy gospel. he then said i need a companion to be with me forever and ever to help teach the gospel with me. will you be my companion forever and ever. i sat there just smiling and said are you sure you really want me? he said he wouldn't pick anyone more perfect. i then said i would love to and we kissed. i can't believe how comfortable we were with each other. i asked him if it was weird being home. he said yes but nothing with me was weird. he knew we were right and that was all he needed to know. as we looked at the clock seeing that it was almost 1 justin said i can't believe he hadn't been kicked out. cause he always was before at 12. my parents door opened and my mom said it was time for him to leave. i walked him to his car where we said our good night prayer. i handed him my phone and he took it for the night and i borrowed my sisters. we said our good nights and then the rest is still yet to come.

from this past 2 years i've realized how much i truly do love justin and how because we've done this we will be able to make it through eternity together with the help of our heavenly father. we are a strong team and we'll fight to the end. i love you justin dean hull. we just want to thank all our family and friends who have supported us through these past 2 years. it means a lot tous. maybe i can get some more sleep now. goodnight.

04. 06. 2010

March 20th, 2010

It's been awhile. So much going on not sure where to begin or how to feel about anything. One of those nights I really just needed a friend to sit with me and let me know everything was ok. One friend on airplane back to Indy, bestie friend in Logan with her boyfriend, roommates all at home, Justin still on his mish, family in St. George on vaca. It's kinda nice having the house to basically to myself, can get a lot of thinking done. Can I ask a question? What does I love you mean? Is it just words or is there a deeper meaning? I thought it was when someone felt that they would give there life for that person. Not let anything get in between them. Deep strong feelings. Not just a word thrown out like it was candy. I find it frustrating when people think you say it and start telling the world that you said I LOVE YOU when simply all you did was say i like you. to close phrases yet so many different meanings. How could these two words be mistaken so easily. All because the person that tells everyone did not understand sign language and assumed what they believed to be told. The words were never spoken or said but assumed. Some may say it was her fault for signing and not explaining, some may say that it is the assumers fault, but it is really no ones fault. Just a mishap that should have been solved through communication that was obviously not present. It is was just another friendship lost like so many before that one. Now they both move on, only remembering one blissful night dancing under the stars. They move on with seperate lives, becoming better people and pressing forward, meeting new people, and people coming home.
This past week has been pretty amazing, crazy, and blah. Started off with the weekend going to disney on ice. it was a lot of fun. Sunday gave the lesson in relief society, blah not so good. monday and tuesday lay back relax days. went to the park and got to swing and it wasn't freezing for the first time this year! wednesday went to logan for date night with ash and jon oh yeah eric was my date. he was here all week. forgot to mention that. thursday was very sick. throwing up and high feezers. eric and mom took care of me all day. i started feeling better so i sat up for awhile. eric went to his old comp marks and then they went to see a family from their mission the miles. they think i'm a fake person. ha got sick again. eric came home and him and dad gave me a blessing. friday spent the day with eric's family eating lunch with his 94 year old great grandma and his purple hair grandma. it was fun. Went and visited his uncle Rhett's grave. he died while choking on his mission. back up to his aunts house for dinner and games. got home about 10. watched a movie went to bed. today got up mom and ash took all the hair stuff on their trip so i was out of everything. pulled my hair up and went and got eric then to the airport we went. dropped him off and then came home and took josh to Iggy's for lunch. Came home slept for awhile and then took Josh to the new Percy Jackson movie. It was an amazing movie!! loved every min. now sitting home blogging and trying to clear my head. well should go find something for josh to eat for dinner. night yall.

2.22.10 Monday

Today woke up and started the day off right. Got a shower and it felt lovely. I love when mornings start right. Went to class pretty easy stuff. It was a regular day. Talked to justin. =) i love him. He has 2 months today!!!! that is so freakin soon. I can't wait. Math was canceled today so I just studied for my test. It was for human development. Kate helped me study. Went to FHE we talked about what we can do now, during, and after disasters. It was fun. Left early so we could meet up with the missionaries for our lesson. It was an amazing lesson. It was just Holly, Kate, me, and the missionaries. I think it helped a lot. We got to open up a lot more. I loved it. We had to say one thing that we loved about Kate. I think it brought us closer together again. We been not the same for some reason. That was about all the day had in store.

Love truly,
Jess.

Sunday. 02.21.10

"Jess are going to church? It's 8:40."

"ha yeah."

I woke up to this, this morning. ha all i could do was laugh cause I was just so tired. =) I'm ready for bed now. I think I might go take a nap before we have home teachers and fireside with Elder Hales. Church was good today. My favorite was temple prep today. I loved listening to Bishop Cash. He taughte us about the interview and how we can be ready. I loved it. Got many pointers. After church we had linger longer and the Sisters came with us. They are so funny. I love them. We have a lot of fun with them. There was so much left over food we have enough salad and noodles to save us a life time! ha but we'll take what we can get. Wrote 5 missionaries today. I thought I was caught up but i was wrong. =( ha Oh well I got my favorite ones written.

Elder Hales came and spoke to us. He is so amazing. He said many things that I needed to hear. I love how people that don't even know us can affect us so much. It's amazing. Came home and went to bed.

Goodnight all.

Love truly,

Jess.

Temple Saturday 02.20.10

Woke up way to early for a Saturday. Got dressed in tights (blah i hate them) and was on our way to Salt Lake City!! We got there about 10:00 a.m. Walked into the temple.. =) I love that feeling. The feeling of peace and knowing that everything I believe is true. Line was very very long, but it gave me the chance to ponder and talk with my heavenly father. Just to sit there and talk with nothing to worry about. I wish I could live in the temple. It's so amazing. We didn't get out till 1:30 but it was worth the time spent in the temple. After we got everyone back together we walked around the visitors center. The sisters gave us a special tour and we got to see a part i've never seen before. The sisters took us into the room where we sat and began to watch a video. It was eternal families. We went to all these different rooms and watched little parts of videos. It was truly amazing and I can't wait for the day that I can have an eternal family. =) The part that touched me the most was when they were in the babies room and they said what do we want to teach her about life. and they said "she is a daughter of god, we love her, and about eternal families. That is exactly what I want to teach my children. I hope that's what they'll always remember. After words I got to go home and see my family for a little while. I love seeing them. They are amazing and the best thing in my life.

Jordan. Jess. Shell. Dax.
We got home and went to the basketball game. We played the Shockers from Kansas. They were pretty good but in the end we won by more than ten!!! It was an awesome game and ended one of the best days ever! =)
Love truly,
