New plans!

Plans have changed, or been solidified, this week as to where our baby will be born. I went to the doctor on Monday, the day before we had planned to drive, and because I had dilated so far, she didn't want us to drive and in fact, has scheduled me to be induced on Sunday. In two days!! So, our baby will be born on August 26th, which is actually my dad's birthday and Dave's parents anniversary. It must be a good day!

We're so excited and feel really blessed that so many things have fallen into place. I went to the doctor again on Wednesday and had dilated even further. This little baby is excited to be here! I'm officially not due until September 4th.

Dave and I have been enjoying this week of rest, requested by the doctor. It's even been a little cooler, which is nice. No more 100 degree days. We'll be moving to my parents house tomorrow (Centerville) so mom can help us out and make sure that we're doing everything right. :)

Back to Arizona!! (Sometime....)

Well, I sure haven't done a very good job of keeping up on this. Well, here's the latest. Yes, we're excited to get back to Arizona, though of course sad to be leaving our family and the beautiful mountains. It's been a wonderful summer and today is Dave's last day of his internship with NuSkin. Where did the summer go?

I'm due on September 4, so less than 3 weeks now! Both the baby and I keep getting bigger and bigger. Even bigger than you you can see in the picture, but that's the most recent picture. This morning my doctor told us she is nervous to let us drive to Arizona next week, but she didn't stop us. :) The plan is to drive on Tuesday, August 21st. For now. We're looking at all of our options before we make the final decision and that might not even be made until Monday night. We are really making a habit of this last minute decision making stuff!!

The picture is of Dave and I at a spring at his grandfather's cabin. We even got to hike to it! Let me just say that it's a different experience when your lung capacity is cut in half, but we really loved it. :)

I'll post the picture of Dave's recent 5k shortly. He got his personal best just a couple weeks ago! Go Dave!

Internship in Utah

On Wednesday, June 5th we jumped in our cars and made the drive to Utah for Dave's summer internship with NuSkin! He's very excited and we're excited to be around family and the mountains again. It's just beautiful up here. After living through 107 degrees in Glendale, the snowy mountaintops (in June?) are very welcome, though we had a hard time finding our jackets. Flip flops and shorts have been our wardrobe for the past 4 months so it's been an adjustment, but oh so nice.
We're living at Dave's parents home in Highland and have enjoyed being back and especially not having to bring up all the kitchen utensils and toasters and whatever else you just can't live without. It's great and Dave's brother Chrit has let us move right in, make messes and make ourselves right at home.
Yesterday we met Scott at Ikea and got the skinny on life and his trip with his ward this weekend, "Walk on the Rocks." How fun! Then we went to visit Mike and Tami who fed us dinner and we talked and talked.
And the fun begins!

Wigwam

Dave and I were lucky enough to be given a free stay at the Wigwam Golf and Spa Resort that's about 30 minutes from here. It was a beautiful place and we really enjoyed just relaxing, trying to stay out of the heat, and playing a little bit of chess in our spare time. What a nice break from school for Dave!!

Sedona

Here's our first blog! How exciting!

Just yesterday, we took our baby on a four mile hike in Sedona, which is about 2 hours from here. She loved it!! (Though next time we'll bring more water.) It was just a little reminder of some of our favorite places to visit in Utah... Zion, Moab, you get the drift.
