new house

We made an offer on a house this week and just found out it was accepted! We should be moving in October 1st! It's an adorable 2 story 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, brand new! It's an ally load style meaning the garage is in the back which I love. We worked a deal where the seller pays about 3% down on our house, our closing costs, and gives us money for a new fridge. I can't believe what a buyers market it is right now! We have a guest room now so feel free to come and visit anytime!

baby news

We are excited to announce we are having a baby! We are due January 24th. It still feels pretty unreal. We had an ultrasound a couple of weeks ago. They discovered that our baby has all of it's limbs and vital organs which was a great relief because I had been having nightmares about missing parts, extra parts, you name it!

They were having a hard time determining gender because I am carrying the baby VERY low. We were starting to loose hope that we would find out at all when the ultrasound tech. said "Oh, there we go. . .it's a girl!" Zach started crying which made me start crying. We are very excited and also very nervous about raising a little girl!

about us

We live in Meridian, Idaho where I work as a dental hygienist. I work in an office that is open evenings which alows me to sleep in and still work full time. It is the best schedual I could ever ask for! Zach works with his best friend Mike and Mike's brother Dave devolping/flipping and selling web sites. He is also going to school full time at BSU where he is finishing up his degree in social work. He then hopes to go to grad school to become a marrige and family councilor. We are both just really happy and think life is great.

our story

Zach and I went to Highland High School together. We had joint friends but did not really know eachother. We say we actually "met" when he came to Johnny B. Goode's and I was his waitress. We ran into eachother again at a Highland choir concert. My mom and I were there to watch my little brother Jordan. I made the comment to my mom that "Zach Miller was back from his mission and looked good." Later Zach went with his best buddy Mike to the bank where Mike's wife Barbara worked. My mom was there and Barb introduced her to Zach and Mike as "Kimberly Hyde's mom." My mom said "Zach Miller, I have heard of you, my daughter has a crush on you." Maybe she was persuaded by the spirit to say that because I had only said he was "looking good." She then mentioned to Zach that he ought to try out for the play "Grease" at Mystique. I saw Zach when he was at Mystique to tell them he was too busy to audition for the play. He invited me to his little brother J.D.'s basketball game. Well, somehow Zach found time for the play after all and he was cast as Kinickie who is the boyfriend of Rizzo who I played. This was the perfect setting for us to date and fall in love. "Grease" ran for several months and just before it closed I got a pleasant surprize when Kinickie got down on his knee mid show in front of a live audience and asked me to marry him. I couldn't have asked for a better love story!
