We're having a BOY!!!

We just found out this afternoon that we are expecting a boy! We are totally excited! We already have a little pair of swim trunks, thanks to Paige :). We feel overwhelmed with joy and with responsibilities. We are looking forward to this June! Man, there is so much to do...

Merry Christmas!

Hey everyone! We hope you all had a great Christmas... we sure did. We stayed in town for the holidays because both of our families were here. We spent very little time at our home. We spent the bulk of the day bouncing back and forth between the Murphy's home and the Reynders' home. We loved being able to spend time with both families, and with each other.

If you want to... feel free to take a look at our Christmas album on photobucket. I think you can just follow the link at the bottom of the slide show we created.

Well, have a happy new year!!! Here we come 2010!!!

We're having a BABY!!!

I'm sure that most of you know this already, but i wanted to officially post it for all to see... David and i will be parents in June 2010. The due date is set for June 12th. We are so excited! I am 14 weeks along and feeling great ;) I have been really lucky... I haven't really been sick at all... We are going to find out what gender the baby is, but we probably won't know that until the beginning of January. We will let you know when we know... Well, we love you all... have a wonderful Christmas!

Happy Times!

Sorry it has been a while since David and I last posted anything. We did have a fun Halloween... We dressed up as Where's Waldo and his girlfriend Wenda. We actually won the best couples costume contest at our ward party... wooohooo! That was a great accomplishment :) Mama Reynders made the shirts for us, and fixed up the hats a little. She was quit a big help in convincing David to dress up. He wasn't to keen on the idea at first, bu he had fun with it. My stockings were the hardest part. We had to use red duck tape and apply each stripe individually.
Well... We are excited for Thanksgiving. It is one of our favorite holidays. We will be staying in town, since we both had classes yesterday, Monday, and today. My mother's side of the family does a huge reunion every year here in town. We are excited to see all sorts of family and of course food! We wish you all a happy Thanksgiving and we will try to post more often. Love you all!

1 Year Anniversary!

This last week David and I went on a cruise for four nights on the Carnival Paradise Ship. We visited the Catalina Islands and Ensenada in Baja California Mexico. We had a great time shopping, site seeing, eating free food available 24 hours a day, and relaxing. We both tried to get a tan too, but we are so white that we weren't too successful, though I think we might have gone from florescent white to neutral white... Anyway, we had a wonderful time. The Crew on the ship was wonderful, the service was great, and the food was to die for. It is something we would definitely enjoy doing again.

Camping the Murphy Way...

Two weeks ago, David and I joined my family in some great traditional Murphy camping fun. We camped on the Dinky Creek camping grounds in a tent for three nights! We had fun hiking, swimming, eating, and hanging out. We had a blast! It was especially nice to have the whole family together. My dad is a truck driver so he isn't home too often but he was able to make it. Also, my sister Vanessa and her husband Ryan were able to come down from Canada. It was great to have everyone together again.

Hey there everyone! Summer has been great so far... last week was the Thorley Reunion. This is an annual event where everyone from my mother-in-law's side of the family gathers for an extraordinary reunion on the Thorley Mountain. It is a beautiful place to be... I was so excited for the reunion I must have lost at least 3 nights of sleep over it. We had a great time hanging out with family and getting to know each other better. There was great food, fun, entertainment, and projects to do. We had an absolute blast!

Right before the reunion, the immediate Mark and Jo Linda Reynders family had a little reunion. That was a lot of fun too... The last day of this reunion, all of us kids and our husbands and wives went on a hike. We hiked through the Subway in Zion National Park. It was a great hike. We had to jump in some nasty water, repel about five times, and go up and down steep mountainsides. After that hike we were all dead tiered. We had a lot of fun though. We weren't exactly sure where we were supposed to be going and the trail wasn't marked that well, so we had fun trying to figure everything out. The only directions we had were telling us to scamper, and look for the hoodoo or something of that sort... they weren't very helpful. Here is a little video that david put together from our hike...
