THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!

I have made it! I am 32 weeks today....woot! That has to be some kind of milestone right? Only eight weeks left. Dont get me wrong I have really enjoyed being pregnant, but lately I have been getting VERY anxious. I just want her to get here. I have heard the 3rd trimester is the worst because of the anxiety and it is sooooo true. I think my belly grows a little more everyday. Having a big pregnancy belly is so hard! I cannot tie my own shoes, paint my own toe nails, and bending over period is a huge chore. I woke up at 3 am last night with the most painful heartburn ever.....this has been one of the new occurances I have been dealing with for the past couple weeks, but in the middle of the night!? really? Tums have become my very new best friend :) I had never had heartburn before getting pregnant, but when my chest felt like it was on fire and about to rip open I kinda figured that must be it! Baby Lily loves to jam her feet and hands under my ribs too....let me tell ya, that is such a joy. I am ALWAYS hungry but I cannot eat all I want to in one sitting because I am pretty sure my stomach is also under my ribs and that leads to shortness of breath................................ok ok ok ok ok I promise I am not complaining. I couldnt love my little baby more. ALREADY. She has Brad and I both wrapped around her tiny finger. She loves to dance and I love to watch my belly moves as she does her morning aerobics! I already know she is going to be so much fun. hopefully she isnt too squished in there!

Shout out to the grad!!

We just wanted to give a little shout out to Jason, and say congrats on your graduation! We are proud of you and are glad we were able to make it to the graduation. Woo Hoo!

mini vacation to St. George!

Finally a vacation!! We literally have not been anywhere since December when we went to California. So it was definitely time to get away. We went with the Simons side and we had a blast! We got to stay in a super nice condo for the weekend and it was so great to relax. We went shopping at the outlets, saw a movie, went mini golfing and of course we ate at In n Out. There was plenty of relaxing too :) here are a few pictures of the weekend! Thanks to our family! We had such a good time!

Zoom Zoom!

Yes! We finally got rid of our Jeep! It was a long time coming and let me tell you I am soooo glad it is finally gone. A couple weeks ago we decided to purchase a 2007 Mazda CX-7. We had been looking for a while and one that we really liked finally came into Carmax :) we got a great deal and everything just seemed to fall into place. We are loving the car! It feels great to have something a little more reliable. The Jeep was a good car, but it was definitly time for it to go. Since you are all probably wondering.....NO, I am not going to make Brad drive the Beetle so I can drive the new car!I still LOVE my Beetle. Apparently that is the joke going around Brad's work :)

bye bye Danny.....

NOOOOOOOO!!! How did this possibly happen? Danny Gokey has been my ABSOLUTE favorite contestant on American Idol this year since his audition. I am still in awe that he got sent home last night. I am pretty sure I screamed out loud. he is sooo much more talented than Chris....oh well atleast he made it that far :) best of luck to Danny!!

The Race for the Cure

Brad and I were super excited to be able to participate in The Race for the Cure this year! It is something that I have always wanted to do and I am so glad that we were able to go. We participated with Brad's co workers from Carmax and we all had a really good time. They even made cute pink tye dye shirts! The weather was great and it was so wonderful to be there. It was so inspiring to see all those brave survivors :) we walked the whole way (obviously I could not run it) and we finished in a little over an hour. We cant wait to go next year, with the new addition to our family!!

It's a girl!!

...and we could not be happier :) knowing the baby's gender makes things even more exciting! I can't wait to go out and buy some pink stuff.
