..how it feels to be married to an old man..

happy 29th birthday mr. lance jeffrey powell! this morning when i asked him how it feels to be 29, he said, "the same as yesterday when i was 28." how do i know lance is getting old? a couple years ago we went to lagoon and at the end of the day lance said, "i must be getting old bc i am really sore right now..." so maybe that's how to tell if you're old or not - go to an amusement park and if the whipping and jerking and banging of all the rides leaves you with a headache and sore body at the end of the day, you know you're getting old! ;-) just kidding!

lance's 29 years on the earth thus far have undoubtedly brought joy and happiness to many people! he is one of the funnest, coolest, most down-to-earth people i know. i am always amazed by his ability to start and carry on a conversation with ANYBODY. he is so friendly and personable and people are just drawn to him. he is such a good dad to duke and claus and i can't wait to see him with baby finn...throughout my whole pregnancy and all the anxiety and fear and uncertainty that comes with the prospect of being responsible for another persons life, the one thing that has brought me peace and calmed my nerves is knowing what a great dad lance will be. they say pregnant women have a glow about them, but in our case i think it's the baby daddy that has the glow! :-)

lance kicked off his birthday weekend by going snowmobiling with his dad and some other peeps. they spent two days up at a cabin in the uintas and were fortunate to get fresh powder the days they went out. last night we went out to dinner with our friends...we were celebrating dan's birthday as well as lance's and i think i can speak on behalf of everyone when i say we had a grand old time. there never seems to be a dull moment when we all get together! this morning we were naughty and sluffed church..we went out to breakfast instead (shhh don't tell anyone). and tonight we are going out to dinner with our families. a fun filled birthday weekend for one special guy!

..34 down, 6 to go..

wowza! i cannot believe i am 34 weeks pregnant. looking back on this whole experience from the day i found out i was pregnant until now, it all seems like its gone by in the blink of an eye. and i can honestly say i have loved {almost} every second of it! i was blessed with such an easy first and second trimester...i feel like i have no right to complain. but the nights are starting to get long and endless, i feel like i toss and turn all night long trying to get comfortable and just never seem to find the right position to sleep in. it is all worth it for this little guy though. i seriouly already love him more than i could imagine, and can't wait to welcome him into this world. people keep asking me if i am starting to get nervous.....i think i passed the "anxiety" phase a long time ago! now i am just getting super excited. there are nerve-racking moments for sure, but all in all i am just so excited to meet baby finn. and lance, duke and claus are too! :)
here i am at 34 1/2 weeks pregnant...and a little sneak peak of finn's room too!
