Baby Shower!

Today I had a baby shower! About 20 girls came, which was an unbelievable turn out! It was so fun to spend time with great friends. Starting with the top row (left to right) are: Debra, Lauri, Alicia, me, Debbie, Michelle, Lydia, Madi, Ashley, Michelle and Tara. In the bottom row (left to right) are: Courtney, Justina, Tiffany, Cheryl, Kristen, Meredith, Kelsey, and Emma. Not pictured: Gena and Mamie. I feel so blessed to have such amazing friends!

Here is Tiffany, the one responsible for the party! She did such an incredible job with all of the preparations. Only the best! Everything from the invitations to the food was INCREDIBLE!!! THANK YOU TIFFANY!!! I also want to give a shout out to Meredith who hosted it at her town home. It's a beautiful home and worked out perfectly!

These are my old roommates (Madi, Michelle, and Lydia)... good times :) They all pitched in and bought the cutest little summer outfit for Annie from Old Navy... Annie is going to be extremely stylish thanks to this baby shower! Thank you!

The food was DELICIOUS!!!
Here is another picture of the cake from the top... SO CUTE!! Justina made the cake. She is so talented!! I loved it, and the taste was delectable!
Everyone enjoyed the food! Nathan was thrilled when I brought him home some leftovers :)

Valentine's Day

Delicious Valentine's Candy! Thanks mom!

We had another great Valentine's Day! Nathan never forgets anything... Here's a picture of the beautiful roses he had delivered to me at work. I'm so grateful for him. I could not have asked for a better husband! Love you Nathan :)

30 Weeks Along!

That's right... I only have 10 weeks left! It has actually gone by pretty fast. Here are a few baby updates... #1 We have decided to name the baby Annie Nicole Cope. I've loved the name Annie throughout the whole pregnancy... it took Nathan a while to get used to it, but he likes it now :) #2 At my last appointment, the doctor measured my stomach and he was pretty surprised by how big she has gotten. Evidently, Annie is two weeks further along in size than the average baby right now... perfect. Chubby babies are the cutest! #3 Annie has been moving SO MUCH! She is constantly waking me up throughout the night, kicking, rolling, and moving like crazy! The other day she kicked a glass of water off of my stomach. Funny little personality! It's hilarious. Nathan and I are still extremely excited for her to come and look forward to the day we get to see what she looks like as we get to know her cute personality.

Brian's Birthday Party

This weekend Brian Miller turned 23... as my mom puts it, "He's ancient!" Nathan and I have know Brian since the Primary days and he's always been a good friend. We love Brian! This picture is of him and Cheryl. Oh and I also want to point out the beautiful cake made by Karli, his sister.

From left to right... me, Nathan, Brian, Cheryl, Karli, and Luke.

Danny Oyler also came into town for a visit... he's another close friend from home. Happy Birthday Brian!

Stockman's Restaurant

Last night we went out to eat at Stockman's Restaurant in Rigby with our good friends, the Checketts. It was delicious! Nathan also wants me to add that he ordered the unlimited sirloin steaks and ate four of them... yea... not sure where he puts it!

Nashville Nights

Yesterday Nathan and I met up with my old roommates and went to Nashville Nights. Madi, another former roommate, was performing. She did an AMAZING job! In this picture is Lydia and Michelle, both very close friends.
Can you tell Nathan's been lacking some sleep lately? I guess that's what school and work does to you! Gratefully, I get plenty of sleep :)

Another Semester Begins...

Today was Nathan's first day of school for his winter semester 2009. I woke up early to make him some breakfast so that he would have plenty of energy throughout the day. He was thrilled. Then I made him pose for his "first day of school" picture! Once again... he was thrilled. Ok maybe not thrilled about taking a picture at 7:15 in the morning... he was still a little sleepy :) Anyway, Nathan is excited about coming back to school. It should be a pretty intense semester. He's taking Biology, Chemistry, Statistics, English, and Book of Mormon. Nathan likes the science and math... not sure why... but I'm glad he enjoys it!
