</div> 1. We spent the weekend in Logan with our families, and it was such a good time. My parents came down for the homecoming game, so we spent all day Saturday and Sunday morning with them and had a blast. We stayed at Brandon's parents' house though, so we were able to get in some good quality time with them too. 2. Brandon's side of the family threw me a baby shower on Friday and it was the greatest! We ate good food, played games, and they just showered our guy with love. He's such a lucky little guy to have so many people love him before they even know him! 3. My dad bought himself a foam finger to take to the game, and it was probably the highlight of that whole day. It made him so happy. And me. 4. We only have five weeks left until we get to meet our little man!! I keep having dreams about him and I just love him so much, it's overwhelming. 5. He gave us a little bit of a scare on Sunday, because I didn't feel him move all day as much as...

We're actually closing in on 34 weeks, but it has been a while since I posted last!  Life has been crazy busy lately, which we knew was going to happen. Starting the weekend we helped my brother move into his apartment, we had plans every single weekend until October 1st. Now we're two weddings and two baby showers down, and we only have six weeks until the little guy arrives. It's nuts, I tell you. Absolute nuts.  My best friends threw me the cutest Classic Mickey themed shower two weekends ago (pictures to come) and it was so fun! We played games, ate some tasty snacks, and most importantly, had girl time and were able to talk without all the guys there! It really was so fun; they are the best! Then, this last Friday, my mom threw me a baby shower in Boise! Even though it wasn't really cold outside, it was sort of fall themed, with woodland animals and soup and caramel apples. It wasn't structured like a traditional shower, so we didn't play games, and it w...

Almost three years ago during Christmas break, Brandon and I went to Boise to spend the holiday with my family. The older of my two brothers had been dating someone for a few months, and I had yet to meet her, so I was looking forward to that opportunity while we were there. I remember telling him "when I meet her, I'm going to hug her. I don't care if you don't want me to, I'm going to do it." And then I got sick. Like, real sick. So I decided maybe not to infect her with my germs the first time we met. But then she came over to my parents house with her bright, beaming smile, and you know what she said/did? She said "he said you told him you were going to hug me, and I don't care if you're sick" and then she hugged me anyway. The tightest, best hug I've ever been given by a random stranger. And I've loved her so much ever since. Their wedding day seemed like a long time coming. They have been together almost as long as Brandon an...
