32 Weeks

I thought I'd better post a picture of myself so you can all see just how big I am getting. Pregnancy really takes a toll on your body. I just keep getting bigger and bigger! For the most part things have been great. I do get some back pain if I am on my feet too long, but I think that is pretty normal. I have been feeling good and I am still sleeping through the night. I am enjoying my sleep while I can because I know in a few months everything is going to change!

We Are Still Alive!

From looking at my blog, you would think that something had happened to Chill and I because I have not posted anything in nearly a month. Well the good news is we are still alive. The bad news is, I'm a horrible blogger! Chill is back in school doing his rotation at the VA Hosptial here in Salt Lake. I think he is enjoying it. This is his last week there and then he is off to work in a clinic in Salt Lake. I am just working as usual. I took a lot of time off in December so now I am trying to make up for it. I am now beginning to realize that is it crunch time and we need to get the nursery ready. I have put it off long enough. I am still looking for nursery furniture, but I finally ordered some bedding. This is our next big project in the house. Things are coming along with our other projects. Last week we traded our TV in for a bigger one and now life is great. The picture of our TV stand and TV isn't that great, but you can kind of see how it looks. The bathroom is still coming along. Chill just needs a few more days and we will be close. We moved the vanity in this weekend which was a bigger task than we had anticipated. We haven't hooked anything up yet, but it is nice to have it in the house. It's been out in the garage since last April I think. Thanks to Steve and Diana for their help moving it in. Chill is already looking for another project to do after the baby is born. I told him maybe we could relax and enjoy being parents for a while before we start messing up the house again. Ha Ha.

Busy, Busy, Busy

So December has been a busy month for us. It came and went so fast. It is crazy to think that in a few days it will be 2008. Chill has been out of school since December 14. It's been nice having him around. He has spent much of his time working on the bathroom and fixing up the laundry room. I am happy to say that it is coming right along. There is hope! He finished painting last week and him and his dad started laying the tile. It's amazing to think that after almost a year we will finally have another bathroom. I'm just wondering what his next project will be.

Christmas Fun

Chill and I had a great Christmas. We spent half of our time with my family and half of our time with his family. It was a busy few days but we had a lot of fun. It all started Sunday night with the Wilcox family annual progressive dinner. That is always a lot of fun and something we look forward to. We went to three different house for three different courses- appetizers, salads, dinner/dessert. We had yummy food and played the white elephant gift game. On Sunday we went over to Chill's grandparents in Taylorsville for a yummy turkey and ham dinner and presents. After that was over we headed back to Bountiful to my parents house where we got to open our pjs and do our traditional Christmas Eve. We spent the night at my parents and got up and opened presents with them Christmas morning. After breakfast, we got ready and headed down to Lehi to do Christmas with Chill's family. We opened presents and played "The Game." It is something we have done for the past three years now. Claudia (Chill's mom) always goes above and beyond to make the game fun. We win lots of good prizes and have a blast. I would say that we got spoiled by both families this year that is for sure. We are lucky to have such wonderful families!

THE GAME

Poor Gingerbread House

We decided that for young womens one week we would make a gingerbread house and then deliver it to someone in the ward. Sadie and I went over to Molly's and got to work. We worked long and hard on the house while trying to decide who we should take it to. The finished product was beautiful and we were very proud. While the frosting was drying we were helping Sadie with some homework. This is where our sad story begins. Molly noticed the roof of the house falling off so she proped it up and we got back to the homework. A few minutes later we heard a thud. We looked over and part of our gingerbread house fell off, hit the floor and broke. Oh it was a sad moment. There was not reviving it at this point. We all picked up the pieces and threw it in the garbage. We obviously couldn't deliver it in that condition. Despite the tragic ending to our gingerbread house making, we had a great night!

Our Beautiful Tree

We have had a tree for a few weeks now and I haven't even decorated it. Chill did put lights on the tree and put the star on top, but that is about it. I couldn't decide what colors I wanted to do on the tree so I have been procrastinating. I look at ornaments every time I'm at the store, but I just can't make a decision. I finally found a gold and red tree skirt the other day so I think I'll go with those colors. I was telling my sister that by the time I have all the ornaments I'll be ready for next years tree. We have to give credit to Chill's parents and his brother Brett for the tree. They went and cut it down for us. Chill had to work the day they went. They did a great job and we love our tree!

We're Number One!

Chill and I both got off work early and we went to the U of U vs. Utah State basketball game with Steve and Cherise. We had a great time although I was beat because it didn't start until 8:00 p.m. That is when I start getting ready for bed. Chill wore his Utah State t-shirt and then his red sweatshirt over that so that he could decide who to cheer for when he got to the game. The U played really well and won so he wore the red sweatshirt the entire time. I'm not sure Steve would have sat by him if he were cheering for Utah State. It was nice to get out and have some fun on a week night. That is very rare!
