Catch-up: June 2014

Well, it appears that time has gotten the better of me again. It's been almost 6 months since my last entry and a TON has happened. Summer has come and gone, family reunions have occurred and baby Rasmussen has arrived! I'll do my best version of catch-up from my memory (which hasn't been fantastic these last 9 months or so). I'll start with June and hopefully one day I will catch up!

June consisted of mostly work and some play. 

Around the middle of June, my friend Keely volunteered to do a little maternity photoshoot with me as a promo so she could get more business on her photography site. I was more than willing to help her out since I love the photos she's done for me in the past (engagement & family photos). We had a great time wandering out in Edworthy Park, although the mosquitos were killer. Keely did a great job! We went out for breakfast afterwards to catch-up and to thank her for the photoshoot. I'm glad we've kept in touch all these years since we first met at Trek in 2007. 

Towards the end of June, Jared and I decided to take a little vacation to Utah to visit Erin & Darrin. We knew we wanted to take one last get-away vacation with the little baby on the way and we figured it would be nice to visit family. While in Utah, we had a fun time visiting with Erin & Darrin. We went swimming at their clubhouse pool with Isaiah and Ezra and later at a nice little reservoir they have in their community. We did some shopping...a LOT of shopping it appears (yikes!). The majority of things we bought were for baby Rasmussen so I suppose it was worth the hefty price tag. We did hit up some yard sales one Saturday. Apparently people in Utah really know how to put on a yard sale...lemonade stands, bake sales, even music. We managed to get some sweet deals! We happened to score a CD by the "Red Hot Chili 'Pipers'" with bagpipe covers of popular songs. Jared and I agreed it was the best 50 cents we have ever spent.

A sweet note that Isaiah wrote for me. It seriously gave me the warm fuzzies. 

Also, while we were in Utah, Erin & Darrin celebrated their 12th anniversary on the 22nd. To celebrate, we went with them up to Park City for dinner. We had some tasty burgers and then went shopping at the outlet stores. It's crazy to think they've been married this long, not that I doubted it ;)

The journey home...

Other than our jaunt to Utah, June was pretty uneventful. I continued to work at the Young Adult Program at the Foothills Hospital where life is good, but usually hectic. I also continued attending my prenatal appointments and everything was smooth sailing! Pregnancy was treating me well at this point since most of my morning sickness had gone away...thank goodness! Also, for some reason, I was really craving soft-serve ice cream from Dairy Queen. So good!

Also, this is the bump at 26 weeks.

Now on to July...
