Home Sweet Home!

I just got back from my last work trip and couldn't be happier than I'm done with planes, airports, hotels and taxis for a while. The past couple months I've been traveling 2-3 weeks of the months and I'm definitely ready for the break that I'm about to have. It's so nice to be home and have a schedule and routine. Being on the road so much totally throws that off. And with the growing belly, I've just started getting incredibly uncomfortable on the planes, so this break is much needed. Unfortunately, Ryan is now going to be gone a ton for his new projects...

In other news - here's a quick recap on our fun-filled weekend.

Friday night started off with a disappointing loss to the Giants (boooo). We joined our friends Mike and Erin for one of baseball's great rivalries and were greatly let down by our Dodgers. This was actually my first time seeing these two teams play and the game was a total bust. It wasn't even exciting.

However, our seats did provide some entertainment... I think this was the first time we've sat this high up at Dodger Stadium. We were higher than the foul post!!! We got a kick out of being that high up, but ultimately decided we needed to move closer. (Yes, those white dots on the field are the players.)

Despite our loss Friday night, we did go on to win Saturday's game (but lost again on Sunday). This week we're playing the Padres (won last night) and then we're headed to Giants territory for another round. We've basically got to win 4 of 6 games to ensure we make the playoffs. Go Dodgers!

Then on Saturday - as Ryan prepped for the BYU game (i.e. watching Game Day on ESPN), I headed to a friend's baby shower. Kim (far right-below) is the YW President in my old ward and I served with her for most of the year before we moved. In the middle is my one and only Beehive, Haleigh. I think there are a couple new Beehives since I moved, but when I was in the ward it was just me and her. (Had I known I was going to look like a giant next to these two, I would have taken off my heals)

After the baby shower, I met up with my mom and brother for lunch at Cafe Montana (one of our favorites). Chris was in town for the weekend and it was great to get some time with him to catch up and chat.

BTW - while this was all going on, Ryan was at home watching the BYU game... I wasn't totally neglecting him all day.

After the game (another BYU victory), Ryan and I headed to Huntington Beach for dinner with our friends Mike, Erin, Chase and Jacque. Can I just say we have some awesome friends!!! (Unfortunately - no pictures of this event - I forgot.)

Sunday was spent watching more football, having dinner with Ryan's parents, and finishing Twilight - yes, I'm now addicted!!!
