THE summer vacation

So I am on my official "vacation" for the summer this week. My mom, my sister Carly, Cooper and I left Saturday morning for Rexburg, ID. We got there that night after a very long day in the car and went to Broulim's to get food for dinner the next day. Then of course we made a stop at Snoasis :) I love that place. I'm pretty sure I would have made the trip just for that. I ended up staying with my good friend Megan Hebdon with Cooper. We both desperatly needed sleep and thought it would be more possible at her place rather than Paige's. Mom and Carly stayed at Paige's apartment and then we all went to her ward Sunday where she taught Sunday School and did a really good job. That night we had Kahlua Pig, a staple dish Paige loves that my mom makes like a pro. I also got to go visit a few people and say hi! Coop and I went to see the Jensens, Lisa and Matt, Cambree and Josh and my good friend Eric. I wish I could have seen more....I was hoping to actually go the 11th wards sacrament meeting but wasn't quite feeling up to it at the moment.

(Disclaimer: I guess now is a good time to tell people I'm expecting!)

Anyways, I just loved being in Rexburg again. Sunday afternoon when I drove by Porter Park, I actually saw Alma and Nicole walking with little Jagger in a stroller. Everything that day just made me smile and really miss Rexburg. It really is such a special place. That night we stayed in the AmericInn. Monday morning's breakfast was "de-lish" and we made another couple of stops, including Snoasis again, before leaving for Utah.

We got to Utah Monday afternoon and have just been enjoying the hot sunshine ever since. My cousin Andrew is getting married on Saturday to his fiance Lindsey who asked me to be her maid of honor! I have until Saturday to find something to wear still....you'd think actually being in Utah would make it a little easier to find something modest enough but no way. I'll find something by then.....

Anyways, that's probably it for now...oh and to add the the pregnancy thing....I am almost 12 weeks and due in January. This one so far is WAY easier to handle than Cooper. I feel sick every day but I am way more functional than before.

Shut up! Yesterday I was thinking about you and had the thought that perhaps you were pregnant again! Congratulations!
I emailed Jake and told him we're going to Point Defiance Zoo on Saturday and should meet up if you get back on time and feel up to it.
