James Farewell

A few weeks ago, my youngest brother James spoke in our ward and said farewell to us to leave for a two year mission in Malaga, Spain. It was hard to say goodbye. We love James so much and will miss him terribly while he is gone but so happy he gets to have this experience. We love you Jeams!

Here are a few shots of the day:

Good luck blood! We love you and are praying for you!

A Little Gettaway....

So I was a little bored one night and decided to just look at flights to Arizona for fun. The next thing I knew, I was booking a trip to see my Arizona friends. Seriously, what was I thinking?! I would be traveling at 34 weeks- the day before I was not allowed to travel anymore! Who does that?! Was it worth it? Absolutely....

First I got to see Emo. Oh how I love this girl. Seriously, it was like we never missed a day talking. And yet we talked so much it was like we hadn't talked in years! It was so much fun seeing her darling place and hanging out with her. She took me shopping and even put up with my stupid pregnancy cravings! Who buys popcorn, pretzels, and sno cones all within an hour? This girl. Yes- I have problems.

Next I got spend time with Grant and Sarah. I love these two people so much. I haven't seen either of them in over three years but it was like we hadn't skipped a beat. I have not laughed that hard hearing Grant reminisce about the crazy UofA days we had together, making him go crazy with our woman issues and indecisiveness... oh man it makes me smile just thinking about the good times we had. I loved seeing them both so much.

34 weeks

Overall it was a short but incredible trip. So grateful I got to spend time with my friends and get a trip in before the baby comes. Thank you sweetie for letting me go and so sad you couldn't come!

Baby Showers

These past couple of months have been teaching and getting ready for baby boy. We are so excited and anticipating our new adventure with this little one. Part of the excitement, I have been so blessed to have some showers and wanted to thank everyone for them! They were AMAZING!!! Each one was so much fun! And after each one, I came home feeling so overwhelmed with gratitude for the people who put them on and everyone's generosity. Here are a few pictures of each shower.

AMAZING shower given by my students and their moms. It was such a wonderful shower to spend time with my students outside of the studio and I felt so honored to be their teacher. They treated me like royalty!
