I don't understand how I am still getting bigger!

Court + Jared
The best thing to happen to me within these last two weeks is that Jared came home! I surprised him with the above scene in our living room/kitchen (we have the smallest apartment ever).
Since he got home, we started & finished our Rocky marathon, which I LOVED. We own Rocky 1-4 and finished our marathon in...well, 4 days.
We also have been on picnics at least 4 times per week!
We love being together!

Veneers!
This has been an exciting last couple of days. Yesterday, I got veneers (thanks to my awesome parents)! I have needed them for a long time. It’s actually quite ridiculous why I needed them in the first place; I have eaten too many sour things (lemons, kool-aid, sour candy, etc) and worn off a ton of enamel on my teeth. Below, is a before picture, taken yesterday morning:
And here I am, after the veneers! What a difference!!!
I had to throw on a picture with my big tummy too.
Life is pretty great right now. Jared came home yesterday and we are having so much fun being together. I feel like we just got married again; it is so awesome being with him. I will put up some pictures that we took together with my next post.
Thanks Mom and Dad for the veneers- they are awesome. I Love you!

This week
Well, Lu left for San Diego on Friday :( for her new job as a traveling nurse. I'm proud of her though. I drove out to Sandy to say goodbye- we had a great time. We went out for Mexican, then to the mall. Of course, I couldn't afford anything, since all my money is going to the baby $$$.
Today, I went to Jana's bridal shower- I'm so excited for her! She's getting married in August to a guy that reminds me a little of Jared. Lucky us!
Here is the GINORMOUS picture of myself at 33 weeks. Can't believe it.

Here is the GINORMOUS picture of myself at 33 weeks. Can't believe it. 
This is a picture from a couple weeks ago, when I bought a ton of baby clothes on sale. All I can think about these days is BABY, BABY, BABY. I also think the nesting phase has officially begun. I cannot stop cleaning! And organizing. In fact, there is honestly nothing left to clean or organize. Last night, my mind was swirling so much, I woke up at 3:30 am and could not get back to sleep. That will make for a really long day---and I'm trying to make time go by fast until Jared comes back! (Tuesday...almost here!!!)
Speaking of baby, here's a funny story of the diaper bag I just bought.
So, I walk into Baby's R Us about a week ago, looking around. I find this diaper bag and fall in love with it. I'm on the phone talking with Jared before I spend the $$$ to buy it (it was kinda expensive) and telling him how perfect it is. Suddenly, a "salesperson" interupts me to ask me if the diaper bag I was gonna buy had a plastic lining in it. We looked and it did. Then she started asking me about the shoulder strap (I'm still on the phone), so I got off the phone and she had me go over to the diaper bag shelves with her. She then started bashing the bag that I picked out and telling me that it wasn't big enough. She tried to sell me a huge, ugly duffel bag. She was so annoying that I finally put back the bag I had picked out. I felt like if I bought the Columbia bag, that she would make me feel like the hugest idiot. Plus, I just wanted out of the store! What kind of salesperson convinces you not to buy something?!
Anyways, the next day, I regreted not buying the bag. I looked it up on the internet and found a ton of positive reviews (I know, how lame am I to spend my time researching diaper bags on the internet!?!?) To make a long story short, I went back a few days later. The first person I see when I walk in was the "unsalesperson." I walked right by her, picked up the bag, and went to the checkout. The cashier told me how awesome the bag was, and then the person behind me asked where I got it because she wanted one. I looked up at the stupid worker, who was now staring at me, gave her a big smile, while slinging my new diaper bag over my shoulder. What an experience!

Phoenix
Well, I would've posted pictures of my trip to Phoenix...had I actually brought my camera. Ooops!
I had such a fantastic time though. I stayed with my good friend, Kimmy. She is the best host ever. She let me borrow her Acura, a car that I am now obsessed with, and took me out to eat. We had so much fun!!! Mekell's wedding was also beautiful and I'm glad that I was able to go down there to support her. I remember how many people came to Jared and I's wedding; it was really touching. Weddings always make me want to get married again! I LOVED my wedding day so much.
In my spare time...oh wait, I have none. I've overbooked myself to keep busy until Jared comes back (next Tuesday...hooray!!!) Tonight, I will finish an editing project that I started last week. I'm editing a manuscript about technical canyoneering in the Colorado Plateau for a book about to be published. It's been an interesting project- very time consuming, but it will buy little Noah a stroller, so I think it's been worth it.
Hope everyone is having a great Monday!!!
