We're Moving!!

We've taken a different direction than we had planned, but we are excited for this new adventure. Brad has accepted a job as general manager of the new Jamba Juice store in Twin Falls, ID. This is the second addition to my brother-in-law, Ryan's, growing empire of Jamba Juices:). The Twin Falls store is not yet open so Brad has been in Idaho Falls the last few weeks getting trained. It has been going really well so far. We are so grateful that Brad has a good job, especially with the baby on the way. I do miss him, though. I'm excited for him to be home for a week next week!

Here is a picture of the house that we will be renting. We haven't seen the inside, but my dad was able to check it out for us and he said that it is great. It's in a really good neighborhood and it sounds just like what we were hoping for. It's less than 4 years old and it has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a laundry room, a two car garage...I think we will be loving all that space after living in apartments. We'll be able to move our stuff into it in about a month. That should be interesting moving when I'm so very pregnant. Hopefully I'll take it easy so I don't go into early labor.

We're excited to try out a new city and see where this new adventure takes us. We're hoping for smooth sailing through this transitional time in our lives.

Pregnancy Pictures

So here are my 32 week pics. I've been asked a few times if I'm having twins, or if I'm due any day now. Well, I'm not. I don't get offended, I just feel a little self-conscious and defensive. I have been measuring right on the whole time, so I'm not worried. I'm just short with a short torso, so of course I'm going to shoot straight out. I was expecting it. I just can't figure out why people don't realize that everyone carries differently, depending on their body shape. Like I said, I'm not offended, just a little annoyed. But I'm perfectly okay with where I'm at and I'm okay with getting bigger. (preferably just through the middle:) I don't really like my cankles due to all the swelling, but my belly can get just as big as it needs to be. Where else is the little guy supposed to go? Anyway, here are my pics for documenting purposes.

32 weeks

Hey, wipe that shocked look off your face. I'm not that big:)

Baby Shower!!

Last week I was spoiled with a lovely baby shower given by my coworkers, Betsy, Heather, and Meegan, as well as my neighbor Stephanie. It was so much fun! They did a great job with the refreshments, decorations, invites, etc. And we had a great turnout. I can't believe how generous everyone was. Thanks to everyone who came and made this such a fun evening for me!! I appreciate your support and can't wait to use all the great gifts when our little guy gets here. Here's a whole bunch of pictures from the party.

By the cute and tasty refreshments

Mmmmmm....these cupcakes were sooo good!

Stephanie, the lovely hostess, and her little guy, Noah. I hope my baby is as good and sweet as him!

My neighbors, Marenda, Erin, and Stephanie. And can't forget cute little Nyah and Noah:)

Elise and Meegan...previous coworkers:). I'm going to miss them!

My neighbors Lisa, Tamera, and Ashley


The cute little bathtub that my coworkers gave to me. I love it and can't wait to use it!!

Couldn't resist another picture of Meegan and Elise because they are so dang cute! And that's Marenda's baby, Nyah. What a mellow, sweet girl!


The proud mother to be with the sweet shower throwers, Stephanie, Betsy, and Heather. Thanks for a great time, ladies!!

Who's bigger? Hey no fair Betsy's at an angle! :) Betsy sits right next to me at work and she is due about a week before me. It's been so fun having someone to talk about pregnancy and baby stuff with me everyday.
