A lot has happened in the last month. I had a birthday last week and Blake got me flowers and wrote me a love letter. Then he took me out to Chilis and then we went to see The Proposal. I got ear rings from my mom and a gift card to the mall from my mother and father-in-law. It was a pretty good birthday.
My sister and her family are visiting from Connecticut for 2 1/2 weeks. It has been fun seeing them. We don't get to see them very often.
And the best news of all... I'm pregnant!!!!! Yep! It's true! I am 12 weeks and I am due Feb. 22 2010. We are super excited for this new adventure!

Tuckett Reunion
This past weekend we went on a family reunion to Durango, CO. It was so much fun! Here are some pictures of what we saw on our trip!
We went on a Hummer and train ride from Durango to Silverton. On the hummer ride we road all over the mountains! It was gorgeous! Here are some pictures for you to enjoy!
This picture was taken on the train.
This is the silverton train that we got to ride on!
Our tour guide drove us to the top of this mountain. It is over 13,000 feet above sea level. This is a picture that was taken on the very top of that mountain. Isn't is pretty?
This is where we stayed. It's about 20 miles northeast from Durango. It is called Lake Vallecito. It was breathtaking! This picture just doesn't do it justice.

This is Mesa Verde. It is a place where the pueblo indians lived a long time ago. These two pictures are of the same place, this is the Cliff Palace. It was amazing to see how they built their homes and churches.

Updates
It's been almost a month since I've last posted so let me update you on our lives! A lot has happened! Blake had a birthday on May 21 and he got a barbeque (from me!), a couple of gift cards and I took him out to dinner! So on Memorial day weekend we went and used those gift cards. We went to see 2 movies over that weekend. Star Trek one night and then Terminator: Salvation on Memorial Day. Then we went shopping. He got a gift card to JC Penney and we still had one from our wedding so we spent $100 between the two of us at JC Penney. Then we went to Best Buy with his other gift card and bought 4 movies. One was "The Newsies" (that was my choice) and then Blake got "The X-Men Trilogy". Then we went home and roasted some hot dogs on his new bbq. Then the next day we both had to get back into the swing of things...which can be really hard when you have a 3 day weekend... but Blake didn't go to work or school that day because he had food poisening! I was sick too but not as bad as he was. I felt so bad for him! We think that it was from the hot dogs, but who knows!
Then this past weekend we went camping with a couple of friends up at Strawberry Reservoir. It was cold and windy the entire time! On Saturday we fished all day. It turned out to be "Free fishing day" but Blake got his fishing licence just for this weekend! Oh well! We fished in 3 different spots, there were 4 fishing poles and 4 crawdad traps and we only caught 2 fish, and 4 crawdads! We were so disappointed! Apparently this is a really good place to fish but we figured it was only a good place if you had a boat... not if you fish on the shore...I got a really bad sunburn on my face because it was so cold and windy that was the only thing showing. We fished in this spot that charged 5 dollars. I think that was a waste because we only caught 1 fish there. I did have a fun time though even though I was cold the entire weekend. Oh and did I mention that there were no bathrooms where we camped??? Ya, me and another girl loved that because we had to go and pop a squat in the middle of the woods and make sure that no one else saw us... that was a bit uncomfortable...
Then when we got home yesterday afternoon we were pulling into our drive way and I saw a grey furry ball in ditch in front of our house. I didn't know what it was so I got out of the truck and looked at it and it was a tiny kitten! So I got Blakes gloves (I didn't know what kinds of diseases it could have been carrying) and I jumped down in the ditch, well it saw me and took off running. I chased after it for a while and finally caught up to it. When I was carrying it I could feel it's bones. I was so sad for this little kitten. So then I gave it some cat food and the other cats did not like her. They were hissing at her. So Blake and I got a box and cut a little hole in it (so it could get out if it wanted to) and put in some rags, a bowl of water and some food. We put it in the garage so that the cats wouldn't get to it. This morning when I was getting in the car to go to work I saw that box was tipped over, and the rags were dragged all over the garage. I looked for her in a couple of places but couldn't find her anywhere... I don't know if the other cats got to her or if she ran away. I was really sad. Hopefully we will be able to find her again. This is a picture of what the kitten looked like but it was much smaller and it always curled up little furry ball. And it had really blue eyes. It was so cute!

Photo Shoot
I received my last two photo shoot pictures last week. These 3 are supposed to be "Manhatten". The other two are "color me beautiful". This is my sister-in-law Norma. Troy's hott wife!
Anniversary
We just celebrated our 2nd anniversary on Tuesday night. Monday night when I came home I saw this!
Then on Tuesday Blake and I both worked all day, and I got off of school. We both met at home at 5 and then he took me out to Outback Steakhouse. Then we went to Cold Stone and had some yummy ice cream. After that we got home and watched "What happens in Vegas" and had some popcorn and some sparkling grape juice. It was a really nice night to just relax and be with eachother because I don't get to spend very many nights at home with him. Tomorrow we are getting a couple massage and we both can't wait!
Our Home
Here are some pictures of our house that we moved into a couple of weeks ago. Sorry it took me a while to post them.
This is the back door and food storage.
This is the laundry room
This picture and the picture below are the 2nd bedroom. The doors are being used as storage right now.
This is our bedroom. Behind the door is Blake's closet
This my closet. I love how big it is!
Bathroom
This is the family room, pantry, and office. It used to be a bedroom but they made it into a family room. That is a hide a bed and a tread mill. There is also a fire place but it doesn't work. Hopefully we will be able to get it working by winter time.
This is the kitchen
This is the dining room. I love how open and bright the room is with all of the windows!
This is one side of the living room.
This is the other side of the living room with Blake watching a Jazz game.

The New House
We finally moved in this last Saturday and I am so glad it's over. I hate moving! We got all unpacked on Saturday afternoon, turned in our key to our old apartment and then Blakes parents took us out to eat. When we got back we were so tired to do anything so then we just relaxed the rest of the night. The next day we went to our old ward because I was asked to sing in church about a month ago before I knew that we were moving and Blake was asked to say the opening prayer. After that, we went to our new ward and we only stayed for sacrament meeting becuase we wanted to finish unpacking and my sister-in-law Angie invited us over for dinner. We finished unpacking everything that afternoon and then had amazing hamburgers and fries. Came back home cleaned the house up a bit and then relaxed the rest of the night. It feels so good to finally feel like I'm at home and not living out of a box (that's what it's been feeling like for the past month). I will try to take some pictures and post them on here so you all can see what the house looks like inside!
