Delivery Baby Shower

Two of our best friends, Rachel and Richard, came to visit last week. It was so good to see them again, and made is miss our whole Ogden crew a lot. Rachel is one of those people who is always doing the nicest things for others. She's the one that gets together the friends for bar-b-q's, who brings over house warming gifts, and does a million other things that I don't even think of doing!

Somehow while packing and getting ready for her trip over here, she gathered baby shower gifts from so many of our good friends in Ogden. Her suitcase was completely filled with them, and Sunday night when we joined them for dinner, she threw me a "Delivery Baby Shower". It is honestly the most thoughtful thing anyone has ever done for me.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of our good friends who sent sweet cards and gifts all the way over here, we appreciate them more than we can say! You make it difficult to be so far away! We miss you all. And a giant thank you to Rachel, for throwing the best baby shower ever.

It's a...

GIRL!

And we couldn't be more excited! I can't wait to buy a teeny weeny swimming suit for our little girl. And have someone to watch chic flicks and take shopping with me again, come a few years.

Home vacation

This past week Sam has been in Phoenix on a work trip, so Ash and I decided to give ourselves a mini, at home vacation, which is pretty easy to do in a place like this. We spent Saturday in Waikiki, where we enjoyed the ocean all day long, and ended at the Cheesecake Factory. Then it was home to my place for a chic flick. Sunday she spent the night at my house, and we had fun cooking together and fitting in another chic flick. We spent the next three days swimming and laying out on North Shore, and I finally got a tan! We ended it baby sitting at Turtle Bay for a family here on vacation from New York, who paid big $ and let us order room service galore. We split 3 meals between the 2 of us and mango smoothies. It was such a relaxing week, and so fun to spend time with Ashley.

Now Sam just needs to hurry home- as much fun as I had, I miss him like crazy.
