1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together (Alex or Ruachel). It doesn't matter if you knew us a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Prego Pictures and Megan's Birthday
Due to high demand, here are a few pregnancy pictures of me. I know they are hard to see. I am wearing a black shirt and the sun was setting, but this is what I have for now. Hopefully I will get a better picture soon. By the way, I am about 28 weeks along in these pictures.
The baby is doing wonderfully. She is incredibly active. I have been feeling great, expect for some back pain. If anyone has any suggestions on how to reduce back pain, I am all ears!
This past Tuesday, October 7, my little sister turned 21. Now I feel old. I made Megan a spider cake and we had a small get together for her.
This is a picture of me, Megan, and her friend Shanae.
Megan is a HUGE Disney fan. Her boyfriend, Brian, took her to Disney Land this weekend and he also gave her the princess shirt she's wearing in the picture.
I am very jealous. I've never been there. What a sheltered life, I know.
In other exciting news, Alex and I put an offer on a duplex two weeks ago! Since it's a short sale, the offer has to be accepted by the seller and the bank. The seller has already accepted our offer and we are now waiting on the bank. Wish us luck. This is such a nerve racking process. It is so crazy to think we are old enough to buy a house and become parents. Time flies by too quickly.

We are still alive!
I know it has been two months since we last posted. It has been a crazy two months with our Massachusetts trip, school starting and preparing for our little girl to come. I'll do a quick update and then hopefully be better at posting.
After we came back to Utah from Washington, Alex and I went to Monroe for two weeks.
During that time, we had my Grandmother Forbush's funeral and a family reunion. The funeral was so beautiful and sad. My Grandma had bone cancer and was ready to pass, but it is still so hard to have such an amazing woman gone from this life. Even though it's hard, I know she is much happier and feels better than she did here. It is so wonderful to have the knowledge of the gospel, specifically the plan of salvation. What a comfort it is to know I will get to see her again and just to know where she is right now. Because my Grandmother was such an amazing person, I am going to share a few things about her. She was a huge Jazz fan! Grandma knew about every player and she hardly ever missed a game. The only time she would miss a game was because she chose to watch her grandchild's game instead. She loved her grandchildren. Every time one of us got married, Grandma would hand stitch us a quilt. She loved to quilt and make booties and beanies for the humanitarian service. My Grandmother also loved to garden. She took great joy in her vegetable and flower garden. One of my fondest memories is playing cards with her. She loved to play all sorts of card games. The last time I ever saw her we played a few games of Hollywood Rummy. I am going to miss her so much, but I rejoice over her life and the knowledge I have that I will see her again. Here are a few pictures of her. In the first one she is on the far right and in the second one she is the grandma on the left.
For the remaining few weeks of summer, Alex and I took a trip to Massachusetts to visit with his family. We had a blast seeing all of the sites and just enjoying family. Isn't it funny how when you live somewhere you hardly ever go see the local sites? It takes a vacation back there to see what you had more time to see when you lived there. This was the case for us. We went to Sturbridge Village; which is a town setup like it would have been in colonial times. This is a picture of us playing one of the games found around the village.
We also went to New Port Beach in RI, a Paw Sox game, the Norman Rockwell Museum, and the North Bridge in Concord, MA. This is most of the family in Corncord having lunch.
Another exciting thing we did in Mass is have a baby shower! This was so much fun. Everything for a baby is tiny and adorable; I love it.
My mother-in-law, Sara made the most beautiful blessing dress. Here is a picture of it. Note: this is the only picture I have of the dress so you have to see the dorky face I am pulling in this picture. I'll have to post a better picture that allows you to see it better.
Since we've been back in Provo, our lives have been incredibly busy. Alex and I have been house hunting. It is not as much fun as I thought it would be. We have also been busy with school. Alex started the graduate program for computer science and I am still working on my bachelor's in early childhood ed. I applied for gratuation last week! That was very exciting.
The baby is doing very well. She is still due at Christmas time. I think she is going to be very active, because she sure kicks me a lot throughout the day. I will post some pregnancy pictures soon. Now that I am caught up, I will try to keep current posts. It may be a little bit hard this school year as I wrap up my degree.

It's a Girl!!!
Today we found out the baby is a girl! We are so happy. It was also the first time we were able to hear her heartbeat. Everything is going so quickly. In the past month, she has grown so much.

Mom and VeeAnn's excursion
Last weekend, my mother and Aunt VeeAnn came out to visit for five days. We had a blast! I never realized how similar VeeAnn and I are; it was pretty funny. Here are a few photos of some of the things we did.
We went to Pike Place Market in Seattle.
These are random. We were trying out some of the many sunglasses at this stand.
This was great. We rode in a horse carriage around Seattle.
Pedicures, of course!!!
All four of us went on the underground tour of Seattle. We learned all about Seattle's sewer history and the money making "sewing circle."
VeeAnn and her new "friends" from the fire celebration. Yes, Seattle celebrates the year their city burned to the ground.
This is the Snoqualmie Fall. It is as tall as the Niagra Falls, but obviously not as wide. Such an amazing view!
We had so much fun. I wish they could have stayed longer.
Alex and I are almost done with our stay in Washington. This Saturday is our last day. On Wednesday, we find out the gender of our baby! Lots of events to look forward to.
