...okay it's been awile...

well, thanks to Lily bugging me that I hadn't posted a blog since August (she actually knew the exact date)...here I am to give an update of what's been going on since the end of August. I will try to make it short and sweet! Let's see....our friends Don & Alyssa got married the last Saturday in August in Cambria, CA. It was a beautiful ceremony and a wonderful weekend away for us! September was kind of crazy as I worked more in Sept than I had in like the previous 6 months. But the paychecks were nice and I did enjoy seeing all of my coworkers! On September 11th, of all days...we got to go do our major ultrasound and the baby looks great! We did not find out the gender, cause we are THOSE people! (Props to Lily & Bryan, Brianne & Pat, etc.) Baby was measuring perfect and all major organs and parts were there! Always a reassuring feeling after having a pregnancy loss, and pregnancy complications & difficulties! So far so good and we are excited for all that the new year will bring! Moving on...I celebrated my 27th birthday on Sept 21st (sharing the day with Lily, of course). My hubby took me to the central coast for a relaxing weekend. We ate great food and were able to see some friends and family along the way, which completed our great trip! Let's see, October has flown by so fast and we have definitely been staying busy! Mackenzie and I were suppossed to take a trip to Lake Tahoe with my Mom the first weekend in Oct, but doctors orders were to not travel, simply to stay home and rest. Nothing major, probably just some stressed induced side affects! Again a relief that it was not any pre-term labor or other serious issue. Sad to not make it to Tahoe, but amazed at what sleep can really do for the body! My doctor's a pretty wise guy, but than again, that's why he's the doctor! Guy's sister got married on the 11th so it was a long week and weekend for our family. Both Guy & Mackenzie were in the wedding, so we all were a bit run down from the festivities! We had a wonderful visit with Lily and the belly when she was in town! We compared bellies and stories and all the fun stuff related to pregnancy! We also shared our first Chik-fil-A experience together thanks to Tiffany's request! What a memorable evening to say the least, right ladies! We had a wonderful breakfast with all of the SAMC gals and Lily got some really cute pics...see her blog! Anyhow, we all really miss her and are so excited for her and Bryan with their 2 bundles of joy to be arriving in February! Mackenzie got her Halloween costume, she is Snow White! We went to ZOO BOO with my Dad & Allie and our friends Brian & Tishka and had a really fun time! Mackenzie enjoyed herself, finally got the idea of trick-or-treating, won a pumpkin at the pumpkin walk, and really isn't too excited about the candy she got! We will see how long that lasts! And now October is almost over...where does the time go? We will be having family over on Friday to eat dinner and watch the neighborhood trick-or-treaters! I need to go finish cleaning our house and decorating for the evening! Ok well, Lily I hope you are happy now...I will post again before 2009, I promise! For now, I hope life is blessing others as it is for us! Until then...
