I'm a Hunter's Wife

So not too much has been going on with us lately, especially considereing Nic has been gone for majority of the last 2 1/2 weeks. He left two Mondays ago to go work in Reno on a job with his brother and he got back that Friday. He was then home until the following Thursday and he left that morning to go on a hunting trip with his dad (this pic is of his dad-just a random one I found) and he won't be back til at least this Thursday. So I'm on my own til then. I know he's loving being out there right now, and he definitely deserves it because of how hard he works. I just get bored when he's gone. But hopefully he'll come back with one of these pictures of his own with his own deer that he killed that I can post!!

Baby Bump Contest

First of all, I feel like a dork for doing this but it could be worth it. Ok so I know this looks like a duplicate from my last blog but there's a reason.

23 weeks

Here I am at 23 weeks. I can't believe that i'm almost 6 months pregnant. It's going by so fast. I am loving every moment of being pregnant right now. I am able to feel him move all the time now, expecially at night. Nic has also been able to feel him. He was so excited. So now every night Nic tries to feel him. Last night, baby was moving around like crazy so I was watching my stomach to see if I could see it move and it was moving so much. Nic and I thought it was so cool that we could actually see him moving. Things are so exciting right now!!!

Weekend Getaway

Since I had this weekend off because of the fire at work, Nic and I had a little getaway. Saturday night we went with our friends Jason and Kelli up to their cabin above Heber. We had a ton of fun up in the mountains. We made the best dinner ever that consisted of grilled steak, grilled pineapple, grilled asparagus, pasta and a great salad. For dessert, of course we made smores.

Here and Kelli and I just hangin out.

My favorite thing is burnt marshmallows. I know it sounds weird, but I love just a plain marshmallow totally burnt. So yummy!!

Nic is definitely the king of making smores. He's very picky about the way he makes them, but they are by far the best smores I have ever had. Here he is melting the chocolate and roasting a marshmallow.

And here he is with the finished product!!! Delicious!

We definitely over did ourselves with the smores and marshmallows, but it was so worth it. We finished off the night watching the movie "What Happens in Vegas." It is absolutely hilarious! We woke up Sunday morning and drove up to Echo Reservoir and met up with our friends Jennie and Evan. We spent the day with them boating and just chillin out on the lake. (I forgot to take pictures) The water was absolutely FREEZING, but we had a blast hanging out with them.

It was so nice to get away for a couple days and spend time up in the mountains together. That's what I love about Utah summers. Thanks guys for the great weekend!!!

Fire at Work!!!

So today at work we had quite the exciting day. We have a huge commercial dryer for all of our laundry in our break room that caught on fire. At first it was just smoking but then it bursted out in flames. One of the girls used both fire extinguishers that we have and they didn't do anything. After about 10 min. of waiting for the fire department, they finally showed up.

While all this was happening, I was getting my hair done. I had just started getting the color applicated to my hair when we had to evacuate the building. So Vanessa (the girl doing my hair) thought she'd just keep doing it outside. I was fine with it because I really needed to get my hair done. She continued doing my hair outside when they told us that we wouldn't be able to go back inside. So, we weren't able to finish my hair, and I had to go home with color in my hair and wash it myself. Haha! It was pretty funny to see people's reactions when they saw her doing my hair outside.

Here are Suzy, Helle, me and Megan just hanging out outside waiting to see what was going on.

There were 3 fire trucks and 1 ambulance that showed up. It was definitely quite the experience. There wasn't a ton of fire damage, but there is a lot of smoke damage and a lot of water damage done to the spa. As of right now, we are going to be closed until at least Monday. What a crazy day!!!
