Texas Wrap Up!

There are a lot of things I have missed over the past few months. It seems like every time I sit down to write the words leave me and I am left alone with the computer and an empty brain.
Today is a little different. There are a few really exciting things that are coming up in the near future and I thought that I might do one last post before all the craziness starts.

Paul finished work today! I am so proud of him and the hard work that he has put in over the last eight months. He said his final presentation went pretty well. You have to know Paul to know what that really means; Translation: "I'm AWESOME and everyone was wowed by my proposals". He has learned so much and I know that knowledge will help him through these next two semesters.

Paul's family came out at the end of June. Really it was a breath of fresh air for me. I think I let out a few tears when I saw his Mom. It had been a while since I had seen one of my Moms. While they were here we had a birthday party for Paul. He wanted Pumpkin Pie. I know weird...considering it was June. My Mom always made me my favorite so we continue on with the tradition. Isn't he good looking?

This next week is going to be filled with preparations to leave. Packing everything, shipping everything, Moving furniture, cleaning house, cleaning our car (I think there is 8 months of beach sand on my floor mats), and getting ready for our hospital trip. I'm pretty sure my Doctor is going to strip my membranes on my Thursday apt. I'm only assuming considering he said he would cause me a little more pain and we would get things moving. Usually when Doctors say a little bit of pain they don't really mean a "little" bit of pain. Then if I don't have the baby by Tuesday I will be induced...but only if things look like they are progressing. There's a third option if things aren't progressing but I try not to think about that one because I don't want Paul to leave me.
After meeting Audrey which is what I'm most excited about... Paul will pack up the car while I recover for a few days and then we will make the 28hr drive back home so that Paul can make it back for school.

It will be the 1st adventure we have as a little family unit. I will be documenting every moment so that someday she will be able to share that she became a Texan and moved to Utah all in one week. It's going to be a pretty good story!

This Picture: At the end of July my ward gave be the most beautiful Baby shower. Most of them have only known me for 8 months and they have been so kind to me. I hope to keep in regular contact with them because they have become my greatest friends.

Side shot will be coming next week.
