Visitors!

This weekend we were lucky enough to have my father in-law Brent come to Phoenix on a business trip. We were so excited to see family! We stayed at Brent's sister's place in Mesa and it was so fun to see the two of them together. They are so much alike. It was fun to listen to stories from their childhood and I felt like I got to know Brent just a little bit better.

Brad's cousins are very musically talented and they pulled out there instruments to play for us. After hearing them play, Brent started playing the guitar. I didn't even know he played and he was really good.Brent is so excited to be a grandpa and I brought my heartbeat monitor so I could have him listen to the heartbeat, but talking about babies also brought up Brad's baby stories and I'm not so sure I want a boy now. Brad was so mean to his brothers. He was (and is) a big tease.It was so fun to see family and it got both Brad and I really excited for the holiday's when we will be able to see our families again.

Worst Feeling Ever!

Brad and I went to Mesa this weekend for a quick trip. We went to our ward temple trip, stopped at Cosco, and did some shopping for maternity pants, which I desperately needed. We spent all Saturday going from store to store and by the end of the day I was exhausted. On our way out of town we stopped at Cafe Rio in Gilbert. I don't know if it was because I was really tired and just wanted to get home or if it was because I was too busy concentrating on finding a lid for my leftovers, but whatever the reason I left my purse.

I didn't even realize it was gone until we came home at 10:30 p.m. and were emptying out our car and I couldn't find it. My heart sank. Its the worst feeling ever! I have everything in my purse and I did not want to cancel our credit card, get a new phone, and get a new drivers license. I hurried and called the restaurant to make sure it was there. Sure enough it was. Brad said I got really lucky because Gilbert is heavily LDS populated. If I would have left my purse in downtown Phoenix I might not have been so lucky.

Since we live 3 1/2 hours away from Mesa/Gilbert there was absolutely no way we were going to turn around to go get my purse. I've never left my purse anywhere before and of course I had to leave it in a place that was so far from home. I didn't know how long I could live without my purse. However I got so lucky! My really good friends/boss was in Phoenix for the weekend to see ASU play Georgia and they were so kind to stop by Cafe Rio and pick up my purse. So I only had to live one day without it and I'm never going to do that again.

My new sweet baby - Clark!

This is what happens when you get bored. I like how the baby already has Brad's freckles. I guess we'll just have to wait another long 6 months to see what our baby really looks like.

Late Start

So Brad started school again this week. He actually was supposed to start last week after Labor Day weekend, but since Brads school is in New Orleans, and New Orleands was evacuated due to Hurricane Gustav, school started a week late. It was actually quite funny because over our Labor Day weekend trip to Phoenix Brad kept recieving text messages like "evacuate now" and "school is still standing".

Brad is actually looking forward to this semester. He is taking bio-stats and toxicology. Which sounds awful to me because science and math were my worst subjects in school, but apparently Brad really likes it. Too bad his class on Monday lasted 3 hours, so will see how much longer he'll be liking school....
