First things first, Happy Birthday to my cute mom! I love you!
The beginning of October found us traveling back to Utah for a quick and fantastic weekend. C had some research to finish and we were anxious to have some time with our families since we won't be home for the holidays.
When we landed in Utah it was chilly, rainy and snowing in the mountains. As we arrived at my mom's house I couldn't help but feel like we were home for Christmas! It was so great to have some quality time with those who matter most to us.
Another big highlight during our few days at home was the epic baby shower Marie and my mom threw me. Family, in-laws, cousins, high school friends, college friends, work friends, etc - it was like my whole life was represented! It was a blast. (And the food spread was legendary.) It was so fun to see so many people I love - I only wish I could have had more time to talk to everyone! (I also wish I could have adequately taken pictures of everyone!) We were very spoiled and are grateful for everyone's love and support as we venture into this new chapter of our lives.
