The Day Before the Wedding

The day before the wedding was spent at the temple and Olive Garden. It was so nice to do an Endowment session. After we went to Olive Garden for the wedding luncheon and enjoyed, good food, good speeches and great company. 

While we enjoyed all of that, Owen did this...

Matt and Haley are seriously such a great match for each other. I'm so glad we could celebrate all weekend with them!

Thanksgiving in Dallas

Everything's bigger in Texas! Seriously, everything IS bigger. In the airport there's the funniest little car with GIANT toys, candies, food, you name it. We had a big Thanksgiving dinner with my new sister-in-law's family. They were so sweet to accommodate all of us.

I am so grateful for my family. I love them more than anything and miss them so much.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Baby Shower for Baby Boy

I really wasn't expecting a baby shower when I first got pregnant because it's my second child AND my second boy. But of course I have the most amazing friends ever and so of course they threw the best baby shower for us.

I felt SO SO SO loved and special and it made it THAT much more real for me that this babe is coming SOON!!! {induction set for December 28th!}

Here are some pictures from the day (thank you jenny!)

My dear friend Jenny won this game pretty much to the centimeter!

 Here are some of the girls who came!

These ladies are the amazing ones who threw the shower for me. I love them all so very much and they really made me feel so special and loved.

I am so grateful to everyone who came and showed baby boy and I so much love!

Only 2 More Quarters to Go!!!

That's right! Only 2 more quarters of class work for Tyson and he'll be in the hospital for the rest of Medical School. He WE couldn't be happier. :) 

This past week he finished his finals and boy are we proud of him!!! He did AWESOME and I am so glad that all of his studying paid off; he definitely deserves it.

Throughout the week Owen and I kept busy with daily playdates including the park, the hot tub, each other's homes, and walks. I am so grateful for such a wonderful support group. We really helped each other out by just keeping each other company and being able to have some nightly girl's nights as well that were held after we put the kiddos down for bed. 

But I have to admit, this was our hardest finals week so far. Maybe it's because I am having a baby in just 5 weeks? Or because my sweet little man wares me out!? Or that my hormones are EVERYWHERE. I'm not sure! :) But only seeing Tyson for about 20 minutes (NOT exaggerating) a day was hard. I am so glad that for the next TWO WEEKS he just mine, all mine.

Unfortunately my camera charger is MIA and so I stole these pics from Jamie (thanks Jamie!) and I have many, many more that need to be uploaded. But the last day of finals we had a little potluck shindig to celebrate. If you look closely you can see that most of the guys grew out their staches throughout the week. ;)
