Our little girl will be here in 74 days! and yes, I did just count the days!! Wow! It seems like all the weeks have come and gone and now I'm sitting her and it's almost the first of February. Yikes!
Recent News:: My parents and my 2 youngest siblings moved down to Santa Clara where my dad found a new job and I can't tell you how fun it has been to have family so close. We have almost spent every weekend there it seems like.
Justin is taking 19 credits this semester and boy oh boy is he busy. Most of our time together is when we are about to go to sleep or I get to sit next to him and he'll read and teach me everything he is learning in his classes. This is such a big load, but after this crazy semester he only has a total of 24 credits left until he receives his bachelors of science and then we are off to physical therapy school!! :) He recently was hired on to Chrysalis which, as a lot of you know, is like a watch center for handicap and disabled men and women. He will start this shortly and I hope it fits right in with his pretty full schedule.
I am only taking 7 credits... pathetic right? hahaha In my defense, I could only find 3 teachers who were willing to work with me because I am due 2 weeks before finals week. So none of these teachers have a test during finals week and if they have a final assignment or something they are letting me turn it in early and won't penalize me if I go into labor sooner then what is expected. The small load has been nice since I have had the chance to pick up more work hours and it hasn't become overwhelming at all which has been very nice for me. :) I'm trying to stay stress free:goal:
Zoey has been so spoiled and she doesn't even know it yet. This little girl is the first granddaughter and niece on both sides of the family so I think it's fair to assume that it may only get worse once she gets here.
Grandma and Grandpa Wall gave her a blanket, and a very cute carters outfit and a car seat and stroller are on the way also. (best grandparents any child could ask for)
Uncle Shawn got her some candy smokes and a binky that has buck teeth on the front to make her look like a hillbilly.- in honors of her father I'm assuming.
Great grandma & grandpa Adamson got her two different outfits (onsies) to wear. pink and teal. They are really cute.
Aunt Jana and Uncle Spencer got her two of the cutest little headbands. one pink and one that is white: lace with a flower :)
Her Daddy got her 2 pairs of Nike booties, baby fingernail clippers with a file, a small bath tube, a Winne the Pooh piggy bank, little baby hangers, a crib and a changing table. a bright pink and orange giraffe blanket.
Friend from work got her her first sippy cup with her name on it in sparkle letters.
I have 2 baby showers set up at this point so I'm sure more items will come her way-Spoiled right??
One of the biggest gifts that she received was 5 garbage bags FULL of clothes!!
Our friends Sifa and Toni gave us soooo many clothes. She has clothes from 0-24 months old. They are so stinking cute!! I will post some pictures of some of my favorites on her page. SPOILED!! :) -but she really needs and deserves it so I don't mind it at all.
We attended our first pregnancy class at the hospital last week on Wednesday. This is a six week course and so far it seems to be very informational. We toured the hospital in the labor/delivery and recovery rooms which was really nice to look and see where I will be when I go into labor. Calmed me a lot. :)
She kicks and stretches and moves all the time. I love it :)
That's all from us for now! Loveyouall.

Grandma Hansen
This Christmas season was simply more beautiful than it has ever been. This may seem a bit odd to say this at first but my Christmas season became the perfect Christmas season when my Grandma Hansen passed away yesterday. There are many reasons for me claiming this to be perfect and I hope you will be able to read this and understand why and if not, please just try to be open to my thoughts.
December 25, 2012
Christmas day Justin and I called my parents to wish them a Merry Christmas and before we hung up the phone my dad told us that my grandma had slipped and fallen and "broke" the tube in her back that was allowing her to function in this life with as little pain as possible but image a tube in your back, dripping fluid, you couldn't escape a whole lot of pain but that just goes to show you there that my grandma was and still is a fighter. We were told she seemed to be doing okay, but this wasn't the best condition she could be in at her age and with the amount pain her body had already been through it didn't look to promising.
December 26, 2012
The next day was kind of just a wait to hear something. Anything really. Justin and I were driving to go see Les Mis when I get a call from my mom saying that grandma had a stroke and was unable to talk was unconscious. Hearing my mom say this brought quiet a lot of joy to me only because time and time again my grandma would always joke, but seriously joke, about how she would like to die she would like to become unconscious have a stroke and die. My mom then said that they unhooked her from everything (hearing in my grandmas voice "No heroic measures will anyone go to to save my life, just let me die") and that it could be a quick passing or it could take a couple of days before her body finally quits working. We continued on into the movie theater and sat down.
To any of you who have seen Les Mis keep reading, if you haven't and don't want me to spoil it even though hopefully most of you know how it ends. Jean Valjean is old, and leaves Cosette's wedding to die. He is met by Cosette's mother, (met by a family memeber/loved one) Fantine who has already die and is there to help bring him to the other side. As this scene continues Jean Valjean "spirit" has been lifted out of his body can hear the spirits on the other side greet him in song, "Do You Hear the People." (hearing angels sing and rejoice the homecoming of Phyllis Millar Hansen and listening to the words of that song and how true it is to come home and listen to the people on the other side sing to you about the fight that we had here on earth) [here] He walks down the brick sidewalk and he is greeted by the father of the catholic church (Meeting Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ) then is taken to the other side where he is met by Fantine again, and all then young men (Grandma seeing all the rest of her family and friends) who fought for their rights. Where I have inserted the work [here] is where I read the text saying that my grandmother had passed away. Now go back and read this and correlate it in a religion sense.
I cannot not tell you how amazing that experience was and still is to me. Being able to steer away from being sad that she has passed and simply being fill with love and joy as I try to image this Les Mis experience that grandma just went through.
Life changing for me.
The best part, really the best part is that December 26th is her birthday. Happy Birthday Grandma! I'm sure you got the best birthday gift you could have asked for.
Thank you Grandma for being such a strong, loving, giving, special woman in my life. You have been a beautiful example and I am proud to call you my grandma. I love you always, and I can't wait to see your face again.

Baby Jensen
We are excited to announce that Justin and I are going to be having a little baby girl!! She is going to be so much fun and she is already full of joy and loves loves loves to kick mom all the time :) I still don't look 5 months pregnant but I promise I am. Our little Zoey is in there and she is workin' hard in there.
Name: Zoey Tresa Jensen (Tresa is my moms name.)
I posted pictures and a video on her page. Check them out!
At our ultrasound, Zoey was kicking everywhere. She wouldn't hold still and the tech. was pushing on my very full bladder to try to get a good 3D of her face. We watched her swallow her Amniotic Fluid and her heart was beating so fast. She was sucking her thumb and swinging her arms around!!
It's so perfectly wonderful how our life continues to turn out for the best!
We could not be anymore excited!!! We love our little Zoey so much!!
I am so thankful for how much she has already changed my life and our life together. She helps me see things in a whole new way. Can't wait to see what else she will do once she is here.
Love
The Jensen's!

It's a.....
Hahah. gotcha!
you thought I was going to tell you didn't you. Well we found out today and I am to the point where screaming it to the world sounds really fun right now, but I want to make you all wait. Because.... (I promise I have a good reason) we want our families to be the first to know. When we first found out that we were expecting our families were one of the last to know partly because we wanted to tell them in person and we live 3 hours away and weren't going to make it up for awhile. Now that we know and Thanksgiving is next week we will tell them and then I promise you will be the next persons to know.
Until then- this is all you get.
Oh but if you aren't to upset at me by this post feel free to share great ideas about how to announce the gender to our families. :) Much appreciated!
Love,
Justin and Lindsey and baby!

Happy Halloween BOO!
Where does the time go.. I can't believe we are in November. There are 2 weeks until we find out what we are having, 3 weeks until Thanksgiving break and then 3 more weeks until the end of the semester. WOW- so far everyone. We are still living and are alive here in Cedar City.
We have taken down almost all of are Halloween decor and now we will wait out the reds, oranges, and yellows. The beautiful colors of Fall and November are everywhere here and I love it. Snow is just around the corner though, but snow isn't bad all the time. Next: after Thanksgiving of course we will put up or Christmas stuff!!!! :) Yeah!
Until then, here are our Halloween costumes. It was so fun to wear them (not a bias judgement but our costumes were the best) And the best part, is not a lot of people picked up on what the back of our costumes meant.. hahahah except a group of old people in our ward almost died laughing!
