Shelley's Baby Shower

On July 9th, I gave my best friend of 22+ years a baby shower. We grew up down the street from each other but have always gone to different schools so we ended up with a different group of friends. As she has been living in Provo for the past 5 years I hadn’t had the chance to meet many of her Provo friends. It was great to meet them and spend some quality time with the ladies! We had a blast eating yummy food and playing the fun shower games!

Although these pictures (soon to be added) might make the shower look well planned out this wasn’t the case. A few days before the shower I called up my AMAZING sister asking if she would like to go shower shopping with me. I have thrown countless parties including bridal showers so I thought I had this in the bag. Shortly after arriving to the party store I realized I had NO idea what I was doing. As Liz asked the simplest of questions like,‘what are you having to drink’ and ‘do you need to bring plates’ I just froze in horror. I had no idea what I was doing! I was so out of my element I didn’t know what to do. Thanks to her help we were able to put together a great shower presentation. Thanks again Liz for all your help!

Until Next Time....

Memorial Day

We've been slacking on the blogging lately, and so we're just going to start with Memorial Day. We had been planning a trip to visit Trent's sister in Idaho, but we were talking Trent's mom's motorhome and seeing snow in the forecast we headed south to St. George. This last minute audible was a good thing because it was 85 degrees down there and a good break from the cold weather.

The trip was fairly uneventful, having the motorhome afforded us the ability to take our dogs with us which they really enjoyed. We laid the table down in the back and converted it into a bed so they could look out the side window or it allowed them to look out the front window. Driving was an experience even though this is considered a small motorhome, a minor wind gust can put you in the next lane, so constant attention is required. And speaking of constant attention, watch that gas gauge...go empty. The three fill-ups I got 8.8mpg, 7.8mpg, and 8.0mpg.

When we got to St. George, we hooked up the motorhome at the RV park, walked to the grocery store with our dogs, and settled in for the night. It was pretty roomy and not a bad way to sleep. We were only about a mile away from the St. George Temple, and so we got the dogs worn out, made sure the A/C was blowing and walked to the Temple for a session. We also were able to walk the dogs through Snow Canyon, met some of our RV neighbors, and take naps(best part of the trip)!

On the way back we got stuck in traffic around Payson and Sketcher got the opportunity to ride up front with me and look out the window which he was upset about when I had to remove him after starting to move again. Fortunately the floor next to the seat is big enough that he made a bed and spent the rest of the trip there.

Until Next Time...
