We Made It

We are here in Utah. We made it safe and sound after a very very very long car drive. We thought we would just drive to Albuquerque but we made such great time and thought, "why not go a couple of hours further so we have less of a drive tomorrow." Well we got to the next city, Farmington, NM and found there were no hotels with openings, not joking. The only one available was ridiculously expensive for us to sleep like 7 hours and leave, so we decided we will go on to Moab, it is only four hours from Farmington and it would only be a little past midnight when we arrived. Well once in Moab we rationalized that Layton is only 4 more hours so why not keep on going. So yes, we drove 23 hours straight and arrived at around 5:30 am in Layton. That day we slept in as much as possible and tried to fix our sleep schedule. I don't reccommend driving straight if you are trying to make better time, but if it will save you a couple of hundred dollars then go for it. We just thought why spend money on a stupid hotel when we are going to have to buy baby stuff in just a bit. So that is how we made it to Utah.

Since we have been here we searched for apartments, one is hopefully going to work out and we really like it so please keep your fingers crossed for us. I went to the Dr. and things are going great, I just wish he would have said that she was coming early because I've decided I'm ready to meet her and I'm just way too big.We went to the outlets at Park City and splurged on cute outfits at Carter's which were all on sale. We played risk with Sean's friends, I just watched. We had a bbq with Sean's friends and had a lot of fun listening to the boys tell stories and laughing so hard that I felt like I was going to die. We celebrated Rick's birthday with the most amazing steaks ever. And now we are just waiting. Waiting for the baby, waiting for the apartment, and waiting for all of the fun things for the baby that are supposed to come in the mail. So we are here, we are happy, we are safe, and we are waiting.

We are glad you guys are back! It has been fun seeing you more often! We'll have to get together again soon before the baby comes! Hope she's letting you be a little more comfortable. I think she's just as excited to come as you are!
