Congrats on the pregnancy! I'm sure you and Hunter will make wonderful parents:) Have you gotten a lot of judgments for getting pregnant so soon/so young? How do your parents feel about it?

Thank you! :) not that I know of ha! I try to stay away from that sort of negativity because we are so grateful that God has blessed us with this little baby girl and no one can take that happiness away from us. We are so excited and so ready for this next step :) as for my parents... They have shown nothing but happiness to me and I'm do grateful for their support :)

5 things about you

1) I'm pregnant with a little baby girl due in February. 2) I met my husband in high school and was a cheerleader so I got to cheer for him in basketball and football! 3) I make gourmet cupcakes for events. 4) I'm trying to better my photography skills so I can own my own business one day. 5) I'm a covert to the LDS faith and it truly is the best decision I've ever made!

How many weeks were you when you found out you were pregnant?

Probably only like 4! If that... I found out so quickly!

Now that you're pregnant, are you still working at the daycare? If so how long do you plan on staying there?

Yes I am! I have had the easiest pregnancy so far. I'm planning on quitting around the middle of December when we go home to San Diego for Christmas.

What was it like planning a wedding in just a couple months? My boyfriend and I are getting married 2 months after he comes home from his mission. Any words of advice? :) Also, congrats on your new baby!

Thank you! We're so excited to meet her :) my advice is to just not stress out and let people help! Seriously so many people will be willing to help! Utilize the talents of friends and family. And, remember it really is just one day of your life so if every detail isn't "perfect" don't freak out!

You haven't been on here for awhile! How can you be a member of a cult that "washes" you in the marriage sealing? That is sexual abuse and they should be arrested! Thousands have gotten out. Run for your life!

Well... You're actually very wrong here. Being that I have been sealed to my husband and witnessed another sealing I can promise you that the ceremony is much different than you must think. It is beautiful and nothing offensive takes place. I'm not running, I will remain.

I just wanted to say how impressed I am with your openness, and how willing you are to share your faith, even when faced with difficult questions! I was in a similar position (convert, married young) at your age and I was not nearly as strong and confident as you are.

Thank you so much :) that means tons to me! Its not always easy but I really try to be open so I'm glad it comes off that way :)

Do you ever feel like there's competition between all of the daughter in laws in your husbands family?

Personally I don't. I feel like we all have our fair share of talents and are really good about including each other. We also don't see each other much so the time we are with each other is so much fun. I have some really supportive sisters in law and I'm very grateful for them!

if hunter lost faith, would you support him and leave the faith or leave him and stay with the faith?

Well, I'll start off by saying that I know that will never happen but since it's a "what if" question my answer would be that we would talk things through and go from there... Ha I just can never see it happening so it's hard to answer
