so what have we been up to?

its been a while.... here's what we've been up to!

i hate to admit this: a few weeks ago joe won the first four seasons of the office at a work party. and we've been watching it ever since. we are almost done- a new episode tonight!


i've been told that the things i have occupied myself with lately is a serious case of 'nesting'. what exactly does this mean?

v. intr.
To build or occupy a nest.
To create and settle into a warm and secure refuge.
To hunt for birds' nests, especially in order to collect the eggs.
To fit together in a stack.
v. tr.
To place in or as if in a nest.
To put snugly together or inside one another: to nest boxes.

i guess if a severe cleaning, organizing, rearranging, decorating, painting, shopping, dusting, scrubbing, scrapbooking, planning, cooking, etc etc. falls into that description, then thats what i've been doing. it's been fun, but sometimes i do miss school.... just kidding its been fabulous to have a break from school and work, but i know that the hardest work is on its way, so i'm sleeping and resting as much as possible!

joe has been busy with school.... and he's doing so great! this is one of his best semesters so far, and i am so proud of him! hope he can keep it up!
a couple weeks ago some friends threw a baby shower and it was so fun! we didn't get any pictures, (i know, lame!) but a big shout-out to katie and jessie hosting and throwing it! this baby will seriously have one of the best wardrobes out there! thanks to everyone there!

last weekend was conference weekend and it was crazy but so much fun! chris drove out from california, marshall came over, and the four of us siblings plus joe and chris's girlfriend made for quite the party! it was great for all of us to get together, and we really missed sarah! can't wait to see you guys again over thanksgiving!

and i've been growing. exponentially. i've got a squishy basketball attatched to my belly that gets in the way and kicks whenever she wants. i promise i'm nine months pregnant- the scale confirms this, the million trips to the bathroom remind me, and the contractions that leave me sore for several hours won't let me forget.


but we are happy, healthy, and cheering on our byu cougars this weekend- top ten baby!

Cute preggo shirt! Anyday now, right?? That is soooo exciting. In just a couple of weeks (or days, who knows?!) you will FINALLY get to hold that little girl of yours, and it will be worth every second of the 9 months of throwing up, indigestion, contractions,constipation, soreness from being kicked, and all that good stuff. :) Good luck with everything! Can't wait to see the pictures when you have her!

You look great! Nesting is actually kind of fun....helps you get everything ready- both physically and mentally!

ALL FOUR SEASON OF THE OFFICE!! ok best work gift ever! Katie you are pregnant!! It's weird to think you're having contractions- just to think about 2 years ago you were single and living in the dorms... now you're having a baby! This is exciting
