Spectacular!

To kick (no pun intended) off the holiday season, Bill and I went to see the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular a couple of weeks ago.

It was really a fun, family show and made me wish that I was a Rockette.

In my current condition, I couldn't manage a kick higher than a street curb, but I bet if I whip myself back into shape, I could give them a run for their money!

Pretty Pleased

While I'm not one that follows college football, there is one game a year that I do pay particular attention to. I'm also not one to rub things in, so I'll just end with these four musical words:

WAY TO GO UTES!

Kicking Back

We are slowly realizing that our days of quiet and relaxation are numbered. We are very thankful for the reason why, but are taking advantage of every spare moment we have to sleep in, nap and be just plain lazy!

Another Visit!

This weekend I had my good friend, Vicki, visit. It was so fun to have another visitor! I was kind of a party pooper since I couldn't be out all day walking around, but we did have fun. We saw Hairspray, the musical, went to the temple and shopped ('til I dropped).

We also met up with a friend of ours from my Seattle days, Jill. It was great to see her and we had a delicious dinner at The Smith.

Thanks for a wonderful weekend!

Showered with Gifts

These are some of my great new friends that I've made since we've been in New York. (Back row: Courtney w/ Addy, Rachel, Lacy, Sheena, Megan, Andrea & Kelli w/ McKenzie) (Front row: Steph, Me, Larisa & Taylor)

They threw me a baby shower last night and spoiled me with all kinds of great supplies and cute clothes and blankets. We should be all set for this baby!

Just Couldn't Wait!

Over the last few weeks, we have been slowly acquiring all our gear to prepare for our baby's arrival. All of the big items have come in nice, compact boxes, but they haven't stayed there long! Bill is so excited about it all that he has set it all up. I think I've gotten a glimpse of what he'll be like on Christmas morning in a few years. It's very cute!

Many of you have asked where we're planning on putting all of this stuff in our tiny apartment. I wish I had an answer for you. We're looking at rearranging some things, and it will certainly be tight, but we'll make it work!
