Blanket

I don't really do much now that I'm not working and not going to school. So, one day Nate's mom and I went out to Sally's and Jo Ann's to get some fabric to make a blanket for the babe... and here it is!

Family, Wedding, Baby and Graduation!

Nate and I are officially residents of Arizona! Our first week here was the wedding... it was so much fun having the whole family here and a huge house that we could all hang out at together.

I am so happy that Owen is married now... could anyone be more perfect for him? They are so stinken cute!!
... and the "Allen" skateboard designed by Emily and my dad was AWESOME!

A couple days before the wedding we had a little bridal shower for Alyssa that lasted about 10 minutes...
After the bridal shower was a baby shower for me...
That too lasted only a few minutes... but it was so much fun!
Me, Lydia and Phanelb...
Cherry and Sarah
Sue, Alyssa and Stacy
Emily, Shelley, Phanelb and Grandma
Lydia, Sherri and my mom... Dawn was the one taking all the pictures and helping with presents so the only picture she's in is helping Alyssa... Thanks for doing everything Dawn!

After the the girl time and showers was.... GRADUATION!!! Nate and I did not want to walk at BYU's graduation because we felt like it would be one whole day of waiting and standing up for ever, and sitting down for ever (being pregnant, it's either my back hurting from sitting, or my feet hurting from standing up) so a whole day of that did not sound too appealing, so... there was a mini graduation for me and Nate.
My dad, Cherry and Phanelb were there to present our deplomas


This mini graduation was all I could have ever wanted from a graduation ceremony. Quick, easy, and all about us!

It was so nice having everyone there to celebrate so many different things. My grandma was so thoughtful to throw the bridal shower, baby shower and graduation party while the whole family was in town. It was such a fun day of partying!


So now that all the excitement is over... We are just trying to get established. We are living with Nate's parents in there little apartment, sleeping in their closet... Harry Potter style... Nate has been looking for phlebotomy jobs all over the place and in the mean time has been doing some landscaping and some house work for the main house part of his parents apartment. Life right now is very up in the air... so we are just enjoying this time we have that we can say we are penniless and living in a closet... how many people do you know can say they live in a closet?
