Fun Weekend in SLC

This past weekend Brian and I decided to go to Salt Lake and have some fun! We went to the Hogle Zoo (it's definately not the San Diego Zoo, but fun nonetheless), then we went to this awesome pizza place called The Pie. Of course my camera batteries died while we were there, so I don't have pictures to share, but trust me this place was fun and delicious. Then we drove around downtown Salt Lake just looking at the old homes, buildings, etc. It was nice to get out of Provo, and finally DO something. Plus, all the walking I did definately helped my body to get ready for labor. Yay!

I love this picture...

I don't know if it is Brian looking fatherly, Lily's cute smile, or Julie's hilarious facial expression. But this is definately my favorite picture of the moment.

Wow, time got away from me.

Well, since it has been a few months since I have last updated my blog, I have contemplated whether or not to keep it or delete it! I wish I was better with blogging-I just find it hard to believe that anyone can be that interested with what is going on in mine and Brian's life! I am the first person to admit that our life is fun, but no where near as interesting as others. (Maybe that will change once baby girl gets here?) Anywho, I am not going to even attempt to try and catch up with what has happened since my LAST post. Once again I apologize-I know it must be annoying to those who update their blogs frequently, just to find me and those like me neglecting their's! So here is what's new in the Blakley world:

1. We moved! Yay! I seriously HATED our first apartment. We basically found it online and chose it based on the photo's and price. I mean we had no other option, we were living in Vegas, planning a wedding, getting Brian set up at BYU, and finding me a job up here in Provo. I do have to say although it was not up to my standards (which I don't think are THAT high) it was the nicest complex that close to BYU's campus. I've seen other couples, and single's apartments that will make anyone squirm. Really. So, now we live in a town home in Provo that is, as my sister in law Eryn would say, BOMB. I really like it and am happy to be bringing our baby girl home here, and not lousy Cambridge Court Apartments!!!

2. After summer term is over Brian has ONE more semester at BYU! He will be graduating in December with his BA in Philosophy-and I will finally have my husband back :D Brian is also sending in his law applications over the next few months, so hopefully by the end of the year we will know where we will be spending our next 3 years. I am so proud of him, and how hard he works everyday. I know Law School is going to be challenging, but if anyone could do it, it's Brian.

3.This one isn't that interesting, but we moved into a ward that is quite possibly weirder than my parents ward (my old home ward). Seriously, it's the twilight zone...

4. And lastly, I am 4 weeks away from my due date. Hallelujah! I know no one wants to hear a pregnant woman complain, especially since most of 'yall have been through it- but the last trimester is rough. I feel like my baby can't get anymore bigger, I have no room to put her! And I feel like she is doing flips and yet every time I go to the doctors, she is still head up. I just want her to flip over soon, and stay down! Needless to say, I am ready for this labor thing.

Trip Home To Vegas

A week and a half ago I went home to Las Vegas for a week. It was a much needed mini-vacation, and I had a blast [even though Brian had lots of tests at school and couldn't go with me]. It was my Mom, Dad, and sister Bethanys birthdays that week too. We had fun celebrating by going out to eat, going shopping, and just hanging out with each other. I got to hang out with my sisters alot, and I really needed that. I love talking to them, and getting advice. My two sisters and sister in law are all great mothers. I hope I can be like them one day. My good friend Stephanie also had her baby shower-and she got hooked up. Lucky girl :D Being at her shower made me really excited to have my baby...and nervous at the same time. I hope thats normal!
I went to dinner with my girlfriends, and it was really good to catch up with everyone. It was kind of a relief to know not much had changed, because I hate feeling like I'm missing out!

I'm so glad I got to go visit with my family and friends. I love and miss you all!

My NeW ObeSessIOn

I absolutely LOVE Vitamin Water :D

It's definately my favorite drink of the moment...since Coke is outta the question.

I don't think there is a flavor made, that I don't like!

My Growing Belly....

So, I am only four and a half months pregnant, but I feel like im big already! Brian wanted to take some "belly shots"... so here they are!!

Brian and I had the opportunity to go to the Draper Temple Open House this week. It is such a beautiful temple, and easily has became one of my favorites!

We obviously couldn't take any photos-so this was the best I could do! Hopefully you can get the idea of how beautiful it is.
