HAPPY 4th

I feel like I would be ungrateful if I didn't take a few minutes to talk about my amazing 4th of July weekend. Brenda, Rick, Brian, and Callie planned a little weekend in Park City and then invited Jon and I to come along for the fun. We all (except for Jon who had to work) got up to Park City on Thursday night had delicious speghetti, and just hung out in a cute little condo. The condo had an amazing view of a lake surrounded by the mountains ... it was so pretty. Friday we went to the outlet stores. Luckily Brenda's 1 year old has about as much energy for outings and shopping as I do, so I able to walk around the outlets for the prefect amount of time. I spent most my time going into Carter's, Osh'Gosh, and Motherhood looking at all the cute things I could get for my baby. I was strong and only bought the few things I needed off my list ... but it was hard.

Later Friday afternoon Jon was able to join us and we all went swimming. It was awesome to get in the water and feel completely weightless! That night we had delicious potatoes and steak for dinner.

Bottoms Up!

We went to the dr a few days ago for my routine appointment. Our little baby is perfect! She has even turned so her little bumm is up. She is loving my ribs and seems to cuddle up against them as much as possible. Being pregnant has, for the most part, been a lot of fun. It is exciting to watch our little baby grow and feel her moving around. I can't believe that I am down to only 1 month left. I already have her "going home outfit" picked out and her clothes washed, but I still need to organize everything and make our 2nd room a suitable baby's room instead of a storage unit. I have also decided to make her blessing dress. I never thought about it until a woman in my ward showed the Releif Society the Heirloom dresses that she has made and offered to teach classes. Well, the classes never happened, but I fell in love with the style of dress and decided to make my very own. I have had fun trying out new sewing techniques and attempting to make this dress. I really like what I have done so far, but it will definetly be prettier from a distance.

We moved into our new apartment...and we love it. We don't have internet set up yet, so sometimes I feel like I'm disconnected from the world, but in some ways it is really nice. Jon is taking the summer semester off from school since the baby will is due around the time he would have finals. So he is working and enjoying the summer...It is a good break for him. We are both very excited and eager for him to finish up this last year of school.
