I have been in a blog rut lately and haven't been keeping up too well. Sometimes laying on the couch all evening and then going to bed at 9pm sounds better than sorting through pictures and coming up with witty captions. So here's a pictureless post to inform you of a little bit of what we have been up to:*We celebrated our 2 year anniversary in August!*Chris celebrated his big 3-0 in August (Don't worry Hon, you've still got it!!)*Chris' beloved mountain bike frame has graduated from being living room art, and now resides in the garage as a full-blown bike*Some people may have wondered how I have been faring as a pregnant lady...and I feel a little sheepish to say that I haven't been sick once or had one wave of nausea...just major fatigue, the need to pee every 10 minutes, and occasional public drooling (it's a real symptom--I checked) I have been very lucky. *After a bit of a debate we (well mostly I) have decided to find out the sex of the baby. We'll let you know in a week and a half!!
Last week I got to spend three days basking in sunny Lake Powell, courtesy of our friends, the Becks. Unfortunately Chris refused to miss school, but I didn't want to miss my one opportunity to actually wear a bathing suit and get some sun this summer. My doctor said "no waterskiing" but I found plenty of other things to do. It was a fabulous trip! Thanks Ashley and Clay!!
Last weekend I reunited with my big sister from Delta Gamma that I haven't seen in nearly 8 years. She was sweet enough to treat me to a delicious lunch at Cafe Trio. We felt like we were in a time warp circa 1999. It was a blast to catch up and so fun to now be back in touch! Thanks Brittany!
I have been so sad about the end of summer that I forgot how much I love fall.A few things I love:*The crisp feeling in the air*The smell*The changing leaves*Going on drives to see the leaves*Wearing sweaters and jackets*Drinking hot cider*Halloween candy hitting the shelves*Eating lots of soup*Knowing that the holidays are on their way!
We are very excited to be expecting a little one in March!! The baby is due March 21st and we are thrilled!!We had our first ultrasound this week, and although the baby is only the size of a kumquat (that’s what they tell me in the books…what in the world is a kumquat?) it was amazing to see a little being moving around in there and to see the strong heartbeat. I am also excited to have escaped the wrath of my sister, who has been harassing us since we got married to “produce a cousin...or else…”Yeah for babies!
Well, our short three months in Michigan have come to an end and we are thrilled to be back in SLC! The first thing Chris wanted to do (besides see family and friends) was mountain bike, so he has been on three rides already... and the first thing I wanted to do was eat at my much missed Cafe Rio, which I took care of yesterday...and will probably take care of again later this week...We missed our friends and family so much and we can't wait to catch up!!
