A lot has changed

So, I just realized that I have not posted anything on this blog since last June...and a lot has changed since then. First of all, Kevin and I are expecting our first child on September 5. Yep...after 8 years of marriage we are finally starting our family. We have had fun traveling and enjoying our time together.

We are still enjoying our boat and since last year we sold our trailer and purchased a motor home so we could pull the boat. So far this year we have taken the new motor home on a drive up Parley's Canyon and down Provo Canyon and then to Flaming Gorge twice (over Memorial Day & Fourth of July).

In February, Kevin and I went to Maui. I have never been to Hawaii, so this was a wonderful trip. We were there for 8 days and we packed our time full of driving to Hana, golfing, surfing, snorkeling, whale watching, going to a luau, and just relaxing by the beach. We met a nice couple named Sandi and Carl and they were such sweethearts. We hung out with them whenever we could. In March, we went to Las Vegas for NASCAR and in May I went to Charlotte, North Carolina for the All-Star Race for some NASCAR research. Kevin and I went to California with his family in June and spent about 6 days there. We went to Sea World and then spent the rest of the time relaxing on the beach. I love Dana Point. We figured we would try and get a bunch of last minute trips in before the baby is born.

So, I realized that I have 8 weeks left until my little girl is born and I have a lot to do. We have not purchased anything yet. We need to get the nursery ready, buy a car seat, stroller, diapers, clothes...you name it...we need it. My friends and sister-in-law have been kind enough to let me borrow some maternity clothes and some baby items (like a bouncer and baby clothes), but other than that...we have a lot of work to do.

Kevin and I have been busy at work. Kevin is managing RVS Striping, Squirt Car wash and helping with the apartments at Monarch Meadows...so, his plate is full. I am still at 1-800 CONTACTS and have been here for over 8 years now. Recently we had our second 1-800 CONTACTS 5k/10k Challenge in Sugar House Park on June 21 and it went well.

I think that is about it for now. I am going to be better at this blog thing. :)
