Busy Month!

The month of April brought the last of our baby showers! Above is a picture of my wonderful work friends that threw my work shower. Judy, Kim, Kris, Me, and Ruth. They did a wonderful job and I although I always knew I worked with a lot of great people, all the people that showed up, the wonderful gifts they spoiled us with, made me realize just how lucky I am. There was great company, yummy food and I came home with a car FULL of gifts; Judy came home with me just to help me get them all in the apartment!

You can see above just a tad of my being spoiled! Really, it's baby who's spoiled, but again, it helps us out so much. We could just never imagine if we had to have bought all these wonderful things for the baby all by ourselves. I really do work with some amazing people! Thank you!

Speaking of working with some amazing people, the VA ER threw Gregg a little shindig as well. His friend, Mark, is about to move to South Carolina to finally be with his wife: He finally got a job! One of the nurses, Toni (pictured on the left above) is also pregnant, about 2 weeks ahead of us. So, the ER threw them a "triple" party for the pregnancy and Mark's going away. It was a really good time! Gregg finally got to open some presents himself! I was happy to let him basque in the limelight! He is a more entertaining than I am, so I think the people watching definitely got a better show! His friends and coworkers were also very generous to us. We are both very lucky to work with such wonderful people! Toni will probably end up being induced here in the next week or two and Mark is leaving us shortly, so we wish them both the BEST of luck! :-)

I also turned 28 on the 28th of April! My Golden Birthday! Apparently, this is a Minnesota thing because nobody in Utah seemed to know what the heck I was talking about! But hey, it was a once in a lifetime thing (turning the age of your birthday), so I enjoyed it while it lasted! Tuesday, the day of my birthday, wasn't super exciting, but Gregg did come home after his late softball game so we could have a little time together on my actual day. I opened all my presents. We (for Gregg and my birthday) got a Wii from my parents! We had been wanting one for a while, so it will be nice for Gregg and I to have something fun to do when we can catch a spare minute... which might not be too often here soon! Gregg bought me a Wii Fit along with a workout game. So, hopefully, I can get back into some kind of shape after the baby comes... you know... again, when I have a spare minute! I got other wonderful gifts from my siblings, friends, as well as Gregg's Grandparents in Australia... but I don't want to brag :-) Needless to say, I was spoiled, as seems to be a common theme these days. Gregg planned a dinner out with friends and baked me the super yummy cake you see above! And it was VERY good! Talented man I have! My friends Ryan and Judy also took me out for a birthday dinner! Again, spoiled, spoiled, spoiled!

With the money that Gregg's parents gave me for my birthday, I bought the Shawn White Snowboarding game and above is a picture of Gregg showing off while Colby and Ginny came over to play!

We had a wonderful month! Our biggest event in May was JJ's Graduation on May 9th!! It was a wonderful road trip which will be my next post! I'm a little behind, but I have to head out the door to go pick up my Mom from the airport for her visit! So, JJ's Graduation pictures coming soon!
