Some of you have been asking me to post some pictures of my pregnant belly. I get a little embarrassed, but you are in luck. Our way awesome sister/in-law and brother-in-law (Nate's sister Leslie and her husband Tavis) came up to Rupert a couple of weeks before we left and took some really really cool maternity pictures for us. If you want to check them out, you can go to their photography website:

Just type "maternity" or "Heidi" into the search bar at the top right of the blog and they should pop up. Thanks so much Les and Tavis. We love them!!

THE BIG UPDATE- Part 3
Monday was Nate's first day at his new job! Doesn't he look so cute and of course, professional?!!
We are still living in a hotel until this coming Wednesday, because the apartment that we will be living in is being remodeled and won't be available until then. On Wednesday, we will finally have a new little apartment that we can call "home!" YEA!! (I will post some pictures of our apartment as soon as we move in.)

THE BIG UPDATE- Part 2
Second, Nathan was offered a job with a company based out of Pasadena, California. The company he will be working for is Avery Dennison. Most of you know the retail side of their company, which is the Avery mailing labels. He accepted their offer into their F.L.D.P. (Finance Leadership Development Program). In this program, they send you to 4 different areas of their company to learn all the financial and accounting aspects of the company, such as internal audit, cost analysis, and so on. So we get to move every 6 months for 2 years all over the U.S. Our first stop will be in Massachusetts. I still can’t believe that this is all happening, but Nathan and I say everyday how blessed we are that he was offered this opportunity when we, as a country, are going through this economic crisis.
About 3 weeks ago, the company sent someone out to come and pick up our cars to have them shipped to Massachusetts.
A week later, a moving company showed up to pick-up all of our stuff. The one nice part of this whole process in that the company moves you and you just fly to your next area. It is a good thing they do this or else I don't think I could handle it.
On Monday, January 26th, we left our little town of Rupert and headed out across the United States. Most of you who know me, know that this was not an easy thing for me to do at all. I would be completely content living in Rupert the rest of my life, but I have come to realize that our Heavenly Father knows what is best for each of us. I have learned to put my trust and faith in him and make the best of what I can. It has been very very hard on me to leave our families and move out here, but I am excited to start a new chapter in our little family's life. We are excited to have a new little baby boy and a new adventure!

THE BIG UPDATE- Part 1
Well, a lot has happened in last 2 months! I don't even know where to begin... I guess I will start from the beginning.
First, Nathan graduated from BYU-Idaho in December with his bachelor’s degree in Corporate Finance and a minor in Portuguese. We are so proud of him!
If you look closely, you can see President Uchtdort and President Clark in the crowd. They both spoke at graduation. We were pretty excited to have a member of the 1st Presidency be the Key Note Speaker. 
Chad Heinkel, Mike Ramsey, Nathan, and Tim Anderson: the 4 goons! It was pretty fun that they all got to graduate together.
After graduation, we celebrated Nathan's graduation together with our familes at Johnny Carinos.
Nathan and I loved spending the first 1 1/2 of our marriage in Rexburg. It is such a amazing place. We will truly miss Rexburg (minus the Winters)! Thank you to all of our family and friends who helped us through school. We couldn't have done it without you all.

It's a....
BOY!!!On a side note...I am currently selling a box full of headbands that Heidi purchased months ago with hopes of a new little baby girl.
Sorry, honey, but looks like the boys win and you will have to take care of two little boys now instead of just one. Bring on the baseball gear!

Welcome Home Elder Phillips!
On November 4, 2008 our Elder Aaron Phillips returned home with
honor. It was one of the most exciting days for our family!
We waited patiently at the Salt Lake Airport for him to arrive.
(Thanks Babe for being the Photographer and Video Taper!)
Finally, after 2 years in waiting our Brother and Son
arrived! It was so good to see him. He hadn't changed much just
got taller. He definitely was a new and improved man though!
We all were so excited and happy to be with him finally.
After leaving the airport, we headed to the Gateway
Mall to get one of our favorite treats, a carmel apple!
I thought it was so funny that while we were at the Mall,
Aaron made the comment that everyone was so pretty
here compared to those in Arkansas!
For dinner, we took Aaron to our family's favorite
resturant, Tepanyaki! The food was amazing and it was
so good to just listen to Aaron.
After we got home that night, we had a couple of surprises
for Aaron! First, a new cell phone!
An Ipod!
A quilt with some of this mission pictures.
And last but not least, Nathan and I's big suprise!
Aaron will be an Uncle in April! Nathan and I are expecting
our first little baby April 7, 2009! We are so excited!
Welcome Home Aaron, it is so good to have you back.
I have enjoyed spending time with you and hearing
all the wonderful things you have been doing the past
2 years. Love ya bro!
Nathan and I are so excited to become a Dad and Mom!
We can't wait for our little one to come. Hope everyone
votes on our poll whether it is a boy or girl, because we
will be letting you know very soon.

We had already told the rest of our family about our new
little one, but we were waiting to tell Aaron in person when he
got home. I know a lot of you were wondering if we were ever
going to post about it, but we just didn't want Aaron to find out
through our blog. So sorry it took so long!

Baseball and Camping Fun!
Nate is playing competitive baseball again this season. He wasn't going to play, because he claimed that he was too old! But with some convincing, we got him to play. I love going to his games and watching! I would have to say he is pretty good for an old guy! HA HA- J/K Honey!!
I love camping! Nate and I and my little sister, Rendi and her best friend (they live in Rexburg too) all went camping a couple of weeks ago. Us girls have so much fun, but I think my poor husband feels picked on to have to take us girls camping. Poor guy! He usually just sits by the fire and listens to us girls giggle all night and talk girl stuff. Thanks Babe for being such a great sport!
