Hello Again!!!
We went to Utah for a Baby Shower! The drive there.....NOT so great! We always end up driving through snow. I REALLY HATE snow!! The trip was really great overall because we got to spend a weekend with family and friends!! We sure do miss everyone and visiting makes us really want to move back. Here are a lot of pics of the celebration! THANKS to everyone for coming.. (sorry if you are not in the pics)
SO SO MUCH FUN!!! Love family and friends so much we wouldn't be who we are without any of you!
The drive home was horrible... We had a terrible drive because they closed I-80 and we had to take a different route home which added 3 hours extra to our drive and it was very unpleasant.. We also had a hard time leaving our friends. We made it home safely and that is all that really mattered; my feet however were very very angry and doubled in size during the drive. Thankfully I have a fantastic husband that unloaded the piles from the car and then came in and rubbed my feet and made me feel so blessed to have him in my life! I love him very very much :)
We came back and were very homesick and had a hard time getting back into real life because we missed everyone so much. But such is life and we made it through!!
I went to a play of Beauty and the Beast at the local high school with some of the other Young Women Leaders I work with, we had a really good time and it was great to get out and enjoy time with people. I have sort of become a hermit because I am tired and Colby was doing a lot of work with school.
I have been feeling really lazy and decided that we wanted to go on walks. We went to Garden of the Gods a couple of times by ourselves and then once with friends, it was really fun!! I love hiking (walking) around the area because it feels like we are in Southern Utah with all the red rocks!! Brings a little home away from home!
The weather here is pretty crazy, I didn't know that we could experience every kind of weather in one single day. We had sun, clouds, rain, hail, snow, and wind all in a single day.. It was crazy. we had 8 inches a hail fall in about 1 hour, this is just a picture of the beginning.
Mothers Day Came and it was really great. I was a little disappointed with the weather but we still had a lot of fun. Colby and I went out shopping and had a good time at the mall. I got some new comfy shoes to wear while my feet continue to swell. Colby brought home some incredible flowers and I really loved them. They are beautiful.
In our shopping day for Mothers Day we also were able to buy the things we needed to prepare for little baby Majors to arrive. We got a carseat and a stroller. Super fun.
It is crazy to think that this is all coming so fast and it is almost here. I sometimes feel like I am in a dream but it is getting more real every single day. I feel very blessed and can't express the happiness I feel right now. I think we are ready for little baby to come. Here is the baby corner in the bedroom. (crib and dresser coming soon) This is what we have for now and it is so weird to walk by the room and see this stuff. I love it so much.
This is the last pregnant picture that I have taken.
I was feeling fantastic with the pregnancy and feeling really lucky that I felt so good, I guess I had to go through something... 3 weeks from my due date and I get to go to the dentist and have a root canal and crown! Oh the joy of sitting or laying in a dentist chair upside down for 3 hours!! Just as I got ready to leave after the x-rays were taken to check their work they informed me that the medicine didn't reach all the way to the bottom of the root! I wanted to cry.... The dentist told me to schedule another appointment to basically redo the medicine and get it all the way to the bottom. 2 weeks from my due date and I am back in the chair completing the rest of the procedure. The pain was really terrible but I tried to stay positive. I wish that I got a picture of the numb face but unfortunately for all of you I forgot to take a picture. Thankfully my teeth are almost back to normal and pain free. I am very happy that I the pain didn't linger too long.
We then celebrated Colby's 30th birthday. He was not thrilled to be turning 30 but I guess we don't get to decide whether or not we get older. BOO!! I am super horrible at remembering birthdays or throwing parties but I managed to pull off a small get together with friends. I had a great time playing games and eating. Thanks for the wonderful night.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLBY!! hope it was good.
One last final piece....
We have been in The Springs for ONE WHOLE YEAR (and two days.) We forget every time to post something monumental, but here we are letting you all know. We have enjoyed this past year, we have learned so much and definitely have grown individually and have grown closer together; the Lord has definitely been guiding us along this journey. It was rough at the beginning and times between now and when we first moved here, but we do love it here and we do feel blessed.
