Help me!!!

I need help! I am blog stupid! I don't even know how to change my background. This could have something to do with the fact that I post on my blog annually. But, anyway, if somebody could enlighten me on how all of you find the cutest backgrounds... and know how to change them, that would be great! So, here's a quick update on what's been happening in our lives since the last post...

~Russell got a job in Salt Lake! He's a financial analyst for L-3. He's liking it a lot and doing a great job!

~Because of the new job we have sweet perks... Such as going to an occasional Jazz game in the company suite!!!! So much fun!

~We moved to salt lake. We are living in a little duplex in Cottonwood Heights. We love the new area especially because we are in Russell's aunt and uncle's ward! They are wonderful!

~Oh, and... yes! We're going to have a baby!!!!!!!

Isn't it the cutest little thing:) This is the baby last Friday (April 30th). I was 12 weeks along. It was moving all around. It was crazy. So much fun! Especially because I haven't been sick AT ALL!!! I know, I am very blessed! The due date is November 14th. The funniest parts about being pregnant: being exhausted all the time, a bit more emotional (ok... I'm really emotional), and the random food cravings that sometimes can't be satisfied! For example... right now I really, really want Taco Del Mar's fish tacos. The closest one is an hour away... What am I supposed to do? Another HUGE craving I had was for... Cheesecake! WOW! Where are you going to find cheesecake at 11:00 at night? Well, my amazing husband found some at the grocery store!!!! It was perfect!

So, I will post more pictures soon, but I just wanted to post what's happening!

Try, the cutest blog on the block. This is how I do it...I pick a background, and then I call and ask Erin to change it. You can try???

LAUREN! Congratulations!!! I am so happy with this news, and I can't believe you are almost done with the first trimester! Hopefully the rest will fly by and before you know it you'll have that little angel in your arms. Being a mom is more fun than I ever imagined. :)

I can help you with background changes if you need but basically you go to a website like aquapoppy or cutestblogontheblock, find a design you like, copy the html and then past it in as a "gadget" in your layout settings. It's actually quite easy once you've done it.

We love you and hope the pregnancy continues to go great!

Good to see you blogging again! Looks like you've had a few people give you advice on your blog background. I was just as "blog-illiterate" as anybody! But I get my backgrounds from thecutestblogontheblock.com and they have great choices! And they tell you how to do it too. :) Sounds like Matt and Russell are getting together for lunch on Monday.... hey, what about us?! :)

Congratulations!!!!!! Tyson was thrilled that Russ called to tell him. He/she is going to be SO cute. Cravings...but no sickness? Or have you been sick? I hope not. I remember sitting in your sealing, the most nauseous I have even been. Good luck with everything. Yay that Russ got a good job...double yay for Jazz games!!! :)
