Thanksgiving weekend!


We had a fantastic Thanksgiving! A family in our ward invited us over to their home. We had an awesome time eating and talking! Oh I love Thanksgiving food, delish! Blake and I had to make our legendary sweet potatoes and swirled chocolate cheesecake.

We watched another Schnauzer this past week named Boone. Apollo and him and too much fun. This makes me want to have another dog!

Blake and I woke up at 4am on Black Friday to get a Christmas tree at Home Depot. We were like 15th in line and we weren't able to get one because they only had like 10 of them! Then, we waited in line at JoAnn's for an hour before they opened up and their doorbuster Christmas tree was pretty pathetic. HAha. So we ended up going to Khol's and buying our first Christmas tree! I love how my front room looks. I wish I could have my Christmas decorations up all year!

On Saturday, Blake and I went to IKEA in Centennial, Colorado for the first time. Wow, it was quit the experience. We were looking for a nice dresser for the nursery and we found one. Later that afternoon we went to Harkins Theater and saw Breaking Dawn. It was good. My back started hurting so bad when the movie started, so for the first half of the movie I laid down. Oh the fun of pregnancy.

I am 37 weeks and three days along! Yesterday I went stir crazy! I just came down with a cold a this week... luckily I can rest. Blake and I are getting so excited for this little nino!

Freeze

Ok, so any out there Warren Miller fans?

When I was dating Blake he told me I had to go and see the Warren Miller film for the year. I had never heard of it until then.

Car-a-zy but I have been to the past five Warren Miller films! Let me just say that they freakin rock your socks. It's all about watching professional sweetness of skiing and snowboarding doing their thing and traveling all around the world. Last Saturday, Blake and I went with our friends Joe and Jacque to this year's Warren Miller's "Like There's No Tomorrow" in Fort Collins. Watching the film for the new winter season gets me so pumped up! I want to go and shred a mountain right now if I could.

They draw for free prizes... but we didn't win anything... :( Blake almost grabbed some free swag but someone else got it.

I know I have a little chancho bakin inside of me but that won't be the case in five more weeks! But then I have to wait another six weeks before I can go snowboarding... oh it will be worth it.

I seriously love the snow. When it snows, I love how the landscape totally changes. I love how the lights at night reflect off the white and how peaceful it feels. I don't think I could ever live back in the desert. I love the seasons.

The cooler weather feels so good to me... especially being pregnant. I keep the house at 63 degrees during the day. Blake comes home and freezes but I love it (and I tell him we are saving money)! Lol

Update of Awesomeness

Wow, I haven't written in a couple of months. So, obviously we moved! We love our new home and the town that we live in. Our new ward is fantastic. I got called to work with the 8-9 year old girls for Activity Days on Tuesdays, and I am the Relief Society Meeting Coordinator (Aka Enrichment leader). We have an activity the first Thursday of every month. I have loved both callings so far. They have kept me really busy!

In September, we went to Arizona for my baby shower and for my Grandmother Sarager's Birthday. Blake's parents also came to visit us in Colorado. We went to Pike's Peak in Colorado Springs. In October, we went to Idaho for another baby shower and fun with the family. I love that three of my siblings are all going to BYU-Idaho... oh I love that place.

My brother Spencer got his mission call to... Nagoya, Japan! I am so excited for him!


Halloween! Zombie couple. Blake and I won best couple costume. I would have to say that this has been my best costume ever. I am pretty sure some of the kids in our ward were scared of us because they wouldn't take our candy.

We bought both our lovely outfits at Goodwill. We used a drill to put tears in our clothes.

We have had two huge storms this past month, like a foot of snow in 24 hours for each storm. Lots of broken tree branches. A week ago, I pruned our bushes and plants in the backyard for a few hours. I just had so much energy. 

This past month, I have been feeling the best I have felt during this whole pregnancy. So many women I talk to hardly get sick at all... luckies!
Can you believe that I am 35 weeks along?! This last picture I am 33 weeks (I think).Crazy business! Blake and I are super excited. My emotions go from excitement to anxiety in minutes. We had a couple of baby classes this last week. I will blog about them.

I am an official Coloradoan now! I have a Colorado Driver's License.

I am going to try to blog more often, so stay tuned!
