Last Couple Weeks of March

March has been both a very long month and a pretty difficult one. Stephen has been in Florida for 3 weeks now and it is horrible being apart. the only thing that makes it somewhat ok is knowing that he is doing really well there and enjoying his semester. He was able to work in an obgyn clinic for two weeks and he learned a lot and really enjoyed it. Besides the clinic work he has also been in classes a lot. He is living with a really nice couple close to campus and couldn't have lucked out more with his living situation. His first night there his landlady cooked him a 5 course dinner and has been so generous and kind to him. Another night Jake and Som were there on vacation and took him to dinner. He only has 3 more weeks there and I will be so happy to have him home just in time for our second anniversary!

With it being my last couple weeks in Utah I have made it a priority to visit a lot of my friends to say my goodbyes. It was especially fun seeing most of them at my baby shower and actually having a little bit of time to visit with them. One of my best friends Zandra is moving the same day as me so it was a lot of fun going to her going away party and seeing some people one last time that I wouldn't have otherwise. One of the best nights I've had the last couple weeks was at the Pretty Little Liars finale party one of friends puts on every season. The show ended really poorly but it was way fun to dress up and make guesses for the next season. The best were all the scary dolls all around the room watching it with us. 

As far as packing has gone I gave myself 3 full weeks and packed a little bit every day. It worked out perfectly and there was only one disaster getting everything ready to go. The disaster was when I decided to clean out Stephen's 72 hour kit...and found it full of weevil larva! As soon as we opened the bag it smelled as if there was a dead animal in it but it wasn't until we opened the side pockets and got to the bottom of the bag that we noticed all of the weevils. A few of them sprayed out and got on my pants and I swear in my hair. It was a horrible adventure and I will just say about 90% of that 72 hour kit ended up right in the trash. We were able to salvage some of it though. Loading the moving truck went really smoothly. With the help of some ward members it only took an hour and a half to get it all loaded and ready to go. My dad left a couple days later and is going to meet my mom and I in Atlanta on the 31st. It is officially happening now. Moving to Atlanta in two days!

Peter Rabbit Baby Shower

Saturday was so much fun because I was able to have my baby shower! I have been looking forward to it for months. My mom really went above and beyond to make it completely perfect in every way. I am so lucky to have such wonderful family and friends who care so much about baby and me. The theme for the shower was Peter Rabbit and everything turned out so adorable. It was so much fun having Stephen's mom and sisters come as well as all of my friends, some who I haven't seen in such a long time. I got so many wonderful gifts and feel like such a lucky mommy to be. Stephen and I cannot wait for our little boy to come. Less than 8 weeks now! 

30 Weeks - Maternity Pictures

I am so happy with our maternity pictures that CristinAllen Photography took for us! They are absolutely perfect. One of my favorite things about being pregnant was knowing that I would get to take maternity pictures. Maternity and wedding pictures are always my favorite pictures to see in peoples homes. Stephen and I were able to take these the night before he left for Florida. I think it made them even more special to me because I knew he was leaving for six weeks but that I would have these to look at until I see him again soon. Stephen is in Florida for six weeks doing a starting rotation and is going to meet me in Atlanta the second week in April where we will be living for the next two years. I am getting so excited for the big move and then to welcome our sweet baby boy just a month and a half later. Stephen was able to see where we are going to live in Atlanta before he made it to Florida and it seems like such a perfect place for us to start our family. I am so excited for this next stage of our lives to begin!
