Holiday Season



The past couple of months have been pretty crazy for us. Last month we celebrated our 2nd yr anniversary and then a week later celebrated my 24th birthday. For our 2nd yr anniversary we took off work and spent the night in Park City at The Canyon's resort. My sister owns a condo there, so it was nice to spend time there for free...thanks Min and Pat! :) We usually go on a cruise for our anniversary, but with me being pregnant we couldn't do that this year, but we enjoyed the replacement of Park City. :) For my birthday we went to Tucanos, which for those of you that don't know has some amazing food. It's an all you can eat meat and salad bar. It's pretty pricey if you go there for dinner, but if you go during the month of your birthday, then you eat for free, so we usually just go twice a yr for each of our birthdays. 

As you all know the last day of last month was Halloween. We spent it with Callen's 2 sisters families like we usually do. We took the nieces and nephews trick or treating which was a lot of fun, especially for Callen since he was able to scare several kids with his costume. Callen has a tradition that every year during Halloween he gets a scary costume or mask and scares his brother-in-laws, Jordan and Aaron. This year he definitely got them good and it was hilarious to see. He had 2 costumes...one was Big Foot and the other was a Wear Wolf. 

Another exciting event occurred was us getting a truck a week ago. We have been wanting a truck for a long time now and with the help of my brother we were able to purchase one from a guy in Boise. My brother told us about a listing for a Toyota Tundra in Boise (which is where he lives) and he was able to go check it out and test drive it for us. We completely trust my brother, so when he said it was in great condition we took his word for it and decided to buy it. Callen flew up to Boise 2 days later and drove the truck back to Utah. We were both really excited about the truck, but even more so for Callen....he flew to Boise last Wednesday night and got there at 11pm and then drove the truck back that night and got home at 5:30 the next morning. Yeah, I know all of you are thinking, he's crazy and yes he is hahah but he was very excited to get it home. Picture below:

With Thanksgiving this week, we are heading to California to spend it with my family. It will be fun to see my family and this will be the first time they have seen me pregnant, so I'm really excited for that. We will also be able to see my niece Quincey for the first time, which I can't wait for. She was born in August and from what I hear and seeing pictures of her, she's already getting big. :( This is what makes me really wish I lived closer to my family. 

Everything with my pregnancy is still going great. I'm now 8 months along and feel like I can't get any bigger than I already am....even though I'm actually small for how far along I am. I'm short and small so it just seems impossible for him to grow any bigger. haha :) Just 2 months left and we can't wait for him to come. I'll post an updated picture of myself soon! :)
