Baby Bash

My former co-workers from LA Weightloss and I had a "get-together" (otherwise known as a baby shower) on Tuesday. Ashley, who threw it, told me it would just be a "little thing". Yeah, does it not look like she went ALL out?! Man...everything was SO cute and the food, I don't even know where to start. It was DELICIOUS. I posted the recipe for the chicken Ash made on the Sweat Peas Recipe Blog, in case some of you don't look at it, GO LOOK AT IT. It's amazing.

I literally thought the cupcakes were fake, they were so pretty.
The whole crew: Ashley, Meg, me, Ashlei, Hannah, Holly, Jenn, and Lisa. I miss these ladies SO much. It was so good to be around them and to just laugh and enjoy ourselves. I appreciate each of them individually for the things they have done for me and for the influences they have been in my life. We have mostly all dispersed now from LA, but I truly believe these are people I will be friends with for life.

Meg and I always did like making weird faces.

Ash and Me. She is so awesome to me. I can't even describe.

Ashlei and I. This Ash and I went to high school together, but we were just more aquaintances then. We became pretty good friends when she moved to Provo and lo and behold, started working at LA Weightloss!!
Part of the loot. Again, let me just say, let's hope its a girl! Especially since Ashley gave Hallie a baby tutu! Haha, I can't imagine putting a boy in that...
As for the update, I went to the doctor today and my blood pressure was higher than normal. (higher than normal for me...mine is usually REALLY low). He asked me how many hours per week I am working. I tried to avoid the question, but he looked at me very sternly and so I told him (I will not tell you, though, for I am kind of ashamed, except I am not, because I like working). Anyway, he then told me I need to cut back so I can stay off my feet more. So, we will see how that goes. If anyone has any great ideas of things to keep me occupied in my soon to be found free time, PLEASE enlighten me. The time I am home already is horrible torture for me, usually. I don't have any projects I am working on, except sticking my pictures from the past four years into photo albums, and I am pretty much done with that. I have taken up baking and cooking more lately, but I can't just do that all day, it will cost too much and I will gain far more weight than necessary. So...I am stuck. I also find myself wanting to go shopping (I know, shopping, me?) when I have spare time, and that is never good. So...what to do?!
PS. Thanks for participating in the poll...it looks like Brynn wins in a landslide! (that is kind of what I was leaning towards, but I didn't tell Devin that!)

Why don't you start making me a scrap book? I'll give you my pictures and you can work away at it. I think it's a fabulous idea! Ha ha! It looks like Ashley went way out for your baby shower. I can't wait to see Hallie in her little tutu!

looks like a blast! you got quite the stash! how fun!! Seeing that much pink kind of gives me an adreneline rush!!
As for things to do in your free time here is a list:
indexing, iniatories, writing the missionaries in the fam(i.e. Kalab), You can come babysit or visit me if you want. You could plan a fun date for your hubby,you could start crocheting burb rags, you could start putting all your digi photos online on picasa web albums to clear space off your computer, you could pre-make baby announcements, you could write thank you cards to everyone at your baby-shower, you could start walking, you could organize your closets and you could get all of your Christmas shopping done(since you want to shop--) Wow, I didn't mean to put that many things but once I got going so many more ideas kept coming. I could go on but this should be enough to keep you busy for awile.
enjoy your free time!!

Kim, I wish more than anything I could have been there. I miss all of you girls and I would have loved to be there and support you! I am so happy for you and can't wait to meet your little girl when I come home during Christmas. (by the way if you are around then, we'll all have to get together). Mike and I got all of our tests back from my issue and found I have some blood clotting disorder which is making me have multiple miscarriages. We are happy to get some answers, but hope that this will work for the next time around. I will have to get a shot everyday during my next pregnancy until 4 weeks after I deliver. But, I will do anything to have a baby and hope that this will work. I miss you and I'm VERY happy for you!

Shawna totally stole all my ideas. Thanks a lot Shawna! Maybe I spend too much time talking to her... Seriously though... take a load off your feet and slow down girlfriend! I wish I could be told that. My doctor probably wishes I would get off the couch more often =). And if you are going babysitting anywhere it is to my house not Shawnas. I totally have priority by being your forever friend!!! What great friends you had at LA. You totally scored at that shower. I am for sure sending my gift with my mom to your other shower. And I LOVE Brynn (didn't get to vote but had to send my support).
