As always, we didn't make any big plans for spring break this year (it doesn't help that spring break is usually when Matt starts getting pretty busy at work). Spring break started off with a busy weekend! On Saturday we drove down to Salt Lake for the Jazz game with Kenzy and Devin. We bought the tickets for Valentine's day, so it has been a long time coming. Matt and I had to run out to Lehi and then turn around and meet for dinner at Training Table in Sugarhouse before going over to the game. It was a really fun game, even though Kenzy and Devin were cheering for OKC. Matt had a lot of fun booing Kanter the whole game, and it was just a bonus when the Jazz won!
We stayed Saturday night at my mom's house. Jeff made a tee time for us to play at the Ranches and we went out for nine holes on a beautiful day! I ended up getting a sunburn, but I played pretty decent golf so it was okay! We had a lot of fun and I made it through eight holes before getting too tired! Not bad for 24 weeks pregnant!
After golfing, Matt and I were able to go to the RSL game! This was kind of a crazy situation. Last April I bought Matt a Pass of All Passes and renewed my pass. We never used them, so I never got a card for Matt. Well this RSL game was FREE if you showed up with your Pass of All Passes when they started selling tickets, so on Saturday we ran over to Sandy to get his card printed. Unfortunately, the place closed in Sandy, so that's why we had to go to Lehi to get his card printed. On Sunday, my mom and I drove over to the stadium to stand in line for tickets, but there was no one there! We were an hour early, so we went to get a drink and a doughnut and came back and there still wasn't anyone there. We waited a little longer and saw people walking around to the back. We walked to the back to see what was going on and there was a huge line! What the heck? So I jumped in line and waited. Then some guy came by and told the people at the end of the line to walk around to the line at the front! I was way mad! If we had gotten in line at the front, we would've been the first people in it! Oh well, I guess we know for next time. Anyway, I got in line and was able to get tickets to the RSL game. We had a really fun time sitting with all the crazy soccer fans and cheering for RSL! Even better- THEY WON!
The rest of the week was spent relaxing and hanging out! On Monday I went with Matt to an appointment to look at his knee. Luckily everything looks good except for some tendonitis. He is going to some physical therapy for a while to get it strengthened up, and they told him that it is hurting him because he put so much pressure on it when he had his ankle surgery last summer. I'm just glad that he won't need knee surgery! After Matt's appointment, we went and picked up Charlie from Tim's house and then Matt went to work. I had fun doing some book shopping and baby clothes shopping! I am getting a little excited to start buying things for baby boy!
On Tuesday I stayed home with the dog while Matt went to work and stopped by the park with Jenny and Melissa and the kids for a little while. Claire likes taking Charlie for walks, so we just sat in the sun and hung out. Then I went over to my neighbor's house to get my hair cut and colored. I'm so excited to have someone so close to do my hair! She did an awesome job and we even snuck Matt in for a haircut while my color was setting up. After our hair cuts, Matt and I went to see "Cinderella" for $5 Tuesday at the movie theater. I love date night with Matt!
On Wednesday I got to go to lunch with Kenzy and Molly from school. We were celebrating Molly's baby shower since Kenzy and I both couldn't make it. I'm so glad to have a friend having a baby girl so I can buy girl things! I had fun on Etsy picking out the most darling ivory lace romper with matching headband to give her! We had lunch at Cafe Sabor and of course I grabbed a Coke at Sinclair on my way home. I spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning my house, and then went over to Matt's mom and dad's lot for a little while.
On Thursday I had a doctor's appointment and listened to the heartbeat and was measured. This is the first time I was measured this way and it was fun to actually be big enough! I was measuring about a week small. After my appointment, I met Myrna at Hobby Lobby to pick out fabric for the crib bedding! So much fun. I can't wait to see everything come together.
Friday was a busy night for us too. After Matt got off work, I made him help me move some of the bookshelves out of the nursery, which also involved moving the spare bed, which is super heavy. We got everything moved and I am getting excited to set up the baby's room. We then picked up Brandyn and drove down to Salt Lake for their mission reunion. We ate at Macool's on Foothill and then went to the reunion. I love hearing the pipe band play and singing Scottish songs, but the best part is talking with Matt's mission president and his wife. It is really special to see Matt interact with people from his mission. It helps me to understand that part of his life a little more, and I respect those people so much for their service. Matt genuinely loves his mission and mission president, and I love to be a part of that with him. There was a cute senior couple there who helped Matt get through his last transfer before coming home. They put him in the car and did castle tours with him so he could have relief from an interesting companion, and fed him regularly. They live in Twin Falls and we get a Christmas card from them every year. It was fun to tell them that we were having a baby and about our new home. Matt is such a grown up now!
After the reunion, we picked Alex up from work and went bowling at Fat Cats. I haven't been bowling in forever and it was way fun! As always, Matt did really good, but I actually did okay! Being pregnant must be helping my athletic abilities! After bowling, we grabbed Frosties and fries from Wendy's and headed home. I was asleep in no time! We didn't get home until 2:00 in the morning, but it was a way fun night!
On Saturday we watched conference and visited our friends who are building a home. It is fun to talk to other people while they build, but not have to put in the work ourselves! I don't miss those long Saturdays! Matt and Randy went to priesthood conference and Jenny and I hung out that night. It is nice to just relax!
Today, Easter Sunday, has been a very relaxing end to this fun week. We watched conference, had delicious lunch at Randy and Jenny's house and watched the kids do an Easter egg hunt. We are loving this time of our lives and are enjoying every minute of being just the two of us until this baby comes! I know that time is going to fly once I go back to work tomorrow, and I want to relax every second until then! Sorry for the long and wordy post!
