Chatham Holiday Party

Marty and I went for a run this morning and there was a playground at our turn around point, so we let Emi out to play. The playground is brand new (and really close to us!) and super fun. We'll have to go back again.


In the afternoon, Marty watched Emi so I could go to a Nutcracker performance of a girl in our ward. She did a great job and I was impressed with the technique at her dance studio. As I watched the performance I couldn't help but wonder--what sorts of things will Emi be into when she's older? I'm excited to get to support her in her different hobbies!

In the evening, Marty and I headed out to Chatham's Holiday Party while Emi stayed home with a babysitter. Marty and I expected there to be dinner at the event, so we were surprised to just find Hors D'oeuvres. But we capitalized on what food they did have by sampling all the Hors D'oeuvres (multiple times). I also learned at the party that one of Marty's coworkers' wives was with me in the El Ed program at BYU and interned in Jordan School District the same year I did. And has a kiddo just about Emi's age. And lives 3 minutes from us. Small world!

The photo booth made us look like ghosties. haha.

I figured I'd be pregnant within the first few months of the new year, but nope. God had other plans. I was called as YW President in January (a shock to everyone including me!) and that consumed a lot of my time and energy throughout the year. It's been a rewarding experience.  I started weight training for the first time in my life and discovered that I really loved it. Last December, HR closed their rec center childcare and I was crushed because that meant I could no longer go to their daytime classes. I thought nothing could compare to those classes. But I was so wrong. I have loved the cardio/weight training at Chuze and have loved going to classes with my friends several days each w...

Baby #2

 And baby #2 is a... GIRL! Bring on the pink. Marty's not a huge fan of gender reveals...but I thought it'd be fun to do a little something. I ended up bringing pink donuts to YWs and surprising the girls. The girls gave me all the reactions I had hoped for ;)
