Temple Square Trip

I was doing SO well with keeping my posts updated, but if I continued with that, then what fun would it be for all of you faithful viewers?? Just Kidding! I do have a fairly good excuse(s) though. It all started about 3 weeks ao. See, I was just starting to feel better pregnancy wise (you know, constant nausea, fatigue and all around feeling like poo) and Haddyn and I contracted strep throat about 3 days apart from one another. Fun stuff. At this point I had a friend say, "Yah, it always comes in 3's, doesn't it?" Well, I blame the fact that it did not end with 2 on her. Three days after I finished my antibiotics for strep throat, which I might add knocked me on my butt for a solid 5 days, I got a nasty instant sinus infection. Holy cow, I have NEVER had so much pain with a sinus infection EVER! I felt like I had gotten hit in the right side of my face with a softball going like 100 mph. Needless to say, I am finally getting over that, I think. I am always so sick when I am pregnant...put me in a bubble!!!
Anyway, enough whining...but now you all know what our house has been up to :) Still no news on the job, but we hope to know on one of the jobs Scott has been interviewing for by the end of next week. Wish us luck and keep us in your prayers! Also, we find out what we're having next week, so we're excited for that. However, we just hope to find out all is well with the baby first and foremost!
I have a lot of events I need to blog on and this one is going to be dedicated to our last trip with our friends Taylor and Sarah before they moved to Colorado a couple of weeks ago. We took them to Utah the beginning of May to go to Temple Square again, which we had already taken them there last year, but this time our point was to see the Joseph Smith movie. Scott and I had already seen it, but Taylor and Sarah had not. They are not members of the church, so it was fun to give them that perspective and that experience. They really seemed to enjoy it, although it was a little more religious then we usually get with our activities :) They are great friends and they have always been so respectful of our faith and our way of life, whether they understand or agree with it or not and we sure hope we have always done the same!! We know we will miss them being so close, but I guess we're headed to Colorado this summer!
So we drove down to Utah late Friday night and stayed at my sister's house in Tooele and left Saturday morning into Salt Lake. My sister watched Haddyn for us while we were gone all day, which was awesome for us and her! This pic is of my niece Morgan pushing Haddyn around in a doll stroller. It was really funny, Haddyn loved it! Once we got into Salt Lake we had some time before the movie started, so we took a roof tour of the Conference Center. That was something else we weren't able to do at our last Temple Square trip because it was winter. However, it was awesome they were able to see the lights in the winter and the beautiful flowers in the spring...good times! Here are some pics from Temple Square...Since this picture looked like Scott was being molested by his fat, pregnant wife, we went with a close up. Scott DID NOT want to take this picture, but look how cute it turned out!And no, I don't know who the bride and groom are in this photo, but they were crawling out of the wood work. We couldn't go anywhere without running into another newly married couple...'tis the season!!!Once we had our fun at Temple Square and the Gateway Mall we met my sister, her girls and Haddyn at Benihana's restaurant for dinner. YUM! This is how the boys and girls spent their time waiting...Haddyn was such a grump in the restaurant and could not sit still or even stand herself. This is where she eventually ended up, feet on the table and all. Good times!!At the end of the night we took a fun group photo and headed back to Idaho. It was a great trip and we miss Taylor and Sarah already. Sarah got a new job at a news station in Colorado Springs, which is basically back home for them, so we are very excited for them, but we will miss them soooo much!!! Good luck guys!!
