The Office

In honor of The Office season premiere, we threw an Office party. Kyle came back from St. George for the occasion. We invited some friends and dressed up to celebrate. The two highlights were seeing Kyle in Dwight glasses and our tasty Jell-O Stapler concoction. As for the show, I love that Michael hit Meredith with the car, that Toby won the race, and that Andy had to tape himself to avoid chafing (and it didn't work). I decided that when I am going into labor, I will bring Seasons 1 and 2 of The Office to make it the experience as painless as possible. If that isn't enough, there's always the epidural.

Greyhound bus love

Kyle just got offered a job at Snow Canyon High School in St. George, Utah, he accepted, and started work up there on Monday. Tonight, he is on a Greyhound bus (yes, people do ride those things) back to me. He sat at the bus stop at midnight for an hour waiting for the bus to come and pick him up. Finally they came and got him, and so now he will be on there all night long with the crazy bus riding people. Just so he can turn around in two days and drive back up, and then repeat the whole thing next week! That's love.

So our life is crazy. The next month will be an adventure for us--it's the first month of his new job, the last month of my pregnancy, we will pack up and start over in UT, we will celebrate our first anniversary, and we will figure out how to take care of a baby! We really don't know what we are doing, but that is part of the fun. Back when I used to freak out a lot about life, my dad always told me to just relax and enjoy the ride. Good advice. I have noticed lately that it is a lot better when you have someone funny to go along with!

BYU Football

Look at all these BYU fans together.
My family came into town (not to see me) for the game. BYU made a good show but they didn't win. Next time. We still had fun. Notice my dad is skinny. I am not so much. My feet (I wish I had a picture of those) got very fat and swollen at the game. And some UCLA fans offered us "Mormon Beer". (water). Kyle tried to take it but they weren't really interested in sharing. Our seats happened to be with Kyle's friends/fam who for the most part, happened to be UCLA fans, so we didn't take pictures with them. We love BYU.

We went to St. George to check it out. We might end up living there in a few months after the baby comes. We drove around and looked at houses, and realized that people who live in California are rich or crazy. The houses were cheap and nice. We even found an advertisement for a home that was

"buy one, get one free".

This picture was taken at Kyle's parent's house. We brought Jessica up to introduce her to Utah. Ryan and Kari came down from Eagle Mountain and Christian and Lauren came down from Provo, so it was quite the party.

Crazy Kyle.

This is the dreads and hat combo that Kyle wore back in the day when he stepped off the plane to greet his family after his mission. And Ryan is just resting in between bites. We all ate a lot of food and watched a lot of football. And we also performed a lot of operations on patients with the Wii.
