Thursday, August 21, 2014. Baby on the way. Be more thrilled to announce the upcoming arrival of our very first baby girl. I figure now that I'm halfway there (20 weeks! I'd better start documenting my pregnancy and sharing a little piece of our excitement! First of all, this pregnancy has been a breeze. (Sorry ladies! Now to catch up on the past 20 weeks, a few pregnancy updates. Suspicions on Gender (before we found out). Are you really sure? Are you absolutely positive. Lots and lots of it! Let's be h...

ryan and lisa bench: one month from today...
http://ryanandlisabench.blogspot.com/2013/03/one-month-from-today.html
Wednesday, March 27, 2013. One month from today. We had been warned right and left that being engaged would be “so hard” and the “worst part”… But luckily for Ryan and I, that has NOT been the case. Our engagement has been a breeze. Wedding plans have come together perfectly from day one and I’ve loved every minute of it! Maybe I should be an event planner or something…:). Now were down to just ONE MONTH away. I can’t believe how fast time has flown by! With the invitations in the mail and only one month.

ryan and lisa bench: full term
http://ryanandlisabench.blogspot.com/2014/12/full-term.html
Friday, December 19, 2014. That's right- full term! 38 weeks today. Time is absolutely flying by, especially with Christmas right around the corner keeping us super busy! I can hardly contain my excitement. Baby girl is still healthy as can be and squirming around like crazy. I just can't wait to meet her! They don't hurt all the time, but that's definitely the first place the pain kicks in when I've been out and about too long. All the clothes in her dresser. I'm constantly "tidying up" and finding ...

Monday, January 5, 2015. Well, we did it! After 9 long months, baby Kallie finally made her grand debut and joined our family. It’s hard to believe!

The last few days have been an absolute whirlwind and now we’re just hunkered down at home—just in awe of how much we love this little baby. Here’s the story! As much as I was hoping to go into labor on my own, it was. I was already having contr...

ryan and lisa bench: 30 weeks
http://ryanandlisabench.blogspot.com/2014/10/30-weeks.html
Wednesday, October 29, 2014. I cannot get over how quickly time is going by.30 weeks already? That's a pretty big milestone if you ask me! This is all starting to get very real. I know it's annoying, but I love. I'm still feeling great and haven't felt much discomfort at all yet. Hoping for a few more good weeks before that starts to kick in. The belly is definitely getting bigger though, especially in the past few weeks! The best part is feeling her squirming around in there all the time! I just love it!

Here are some highlights of our 18-year friendship.only the most glamorous, of course :). Between girls camps, EFY's, school dances, birthday parties, concerts, sleepovers, beach trips and graduations- nearly a million of my childhood/high school memories had this girl in it. And I wouldn't have it any other way :).

ryan and lisa bench: final days in provo
http://ryanandlisabench.blogspot.com/2013/08/finals-days-in-provo.html
Wednesday, August 21, 2013. Final days in provo. Ever since I can remember, my family was pegged the "BYU family" of the ward. We hosted the BYU football parties and made frequent trips to Provo to visit campus, go to games, buy all sorts of BYU garb, and eat BYU creamery ice cream. We were raised on the "BYU Fight Song" and dressed up as "BYU Cheerleaders" for what seemed like every Halloween. We were THE BYU FAMILY. When I got my acceptance letter, I cried. My BYU experience has done nothing but exceed.

ryan and lisa bench: summer in review
http://ryanandlisabench.blogspot.com/2013/09/summer-in-review.html
Tuesday, September 10, 2013. It sure has been a whirlwind of a summer! Talk about busy, busy, busy. It’s hard to believe we packed in as much as we did…but summers always seem to go that way, don’t they? Here are a few highlights… It’s been a good one! We started off with a little trip to Cancun. Not a bad way to kick off the summer :). Then, after only being married 3 weeks, I left my brand new hubby to go on tour with the Folk Dancers. It was sad to be apart, but Nauvoo never disappoints. Celebrated th...
