February- For Valentine's Day we made chocolate covered strawberries and hung out around the house.
March- in Idaho- the most snow I've ever seen. It came up to my knees.
Easter- The gold old days when I could bend at the waist and wear cute clothes.
March- Brett was able to go to Virginia/Washington for a print conference.
May- Brett graduated!!!!
To celebrate Brett's graduation, we went to Moab and Arches National Park.
AND we found out we were pregnant!!
AND we went to Zion National Park with our neighbors. We hiked Angel's Landing, which was amazing and VERY high up!
June- Brett took out the carpet and linoleum and put in wood floors downstairs.
June- My dad graduated with his PhD from Pepperdine. Most of the family was able to go. It was a delightful 100 degrees with zero shade. But we still had a great time!
July- 4th of July we spent in Idaho with Brett's family. We went to the parade the town always has, this year's was worse than most, but still really fun.
July- Stella went swimming for the first time in the canal at Brett's parent's house. She hated it.
July- Brett's sister and her family came to visit. Brett thought it was a good idea to give little Holland a RED popsicle.
July- I went to Chicago for a trade show with my company. It was a TON of work, especially being 13 weeks pregnant, but it was a great time. Chicago was a fun place to visit and the pizza was AMAZING!
August- Brett's dad came to help us re-tile our shower. It took a long time, but it was so worth it!
August- Brett went backpacking in the Uintas with my brothers and dad.
August- Brett's 10 year high school reunion in Rexburg. We were able to see his old friends. Things haven't changed much. They still act like teenagers when they all get together.
September- Brett turned 29
September 10- We found out that we are having a GIRL! I thought my belly was HUGE in this picture. This was the day we found out what we were having, I think I was 22 weeks here.
September/October- My grandpa and Brett's grandpa both passed away. They had bagpippers and three gun salutes. I wasn't able to go to Brett's grandpa's funeral, because I was at my grandpa's funeral, so I don't have any photos from the day.
October- One of my best friends from high school, that I hadn't really seen since high school, came to Utah for a visit. I met her and her friends in Park City for a fun filled day of shopping.
November- I turned 29 and went to bed around 8:30.
December- I was put on bed rest as a result of going into preterm labor at the end of 32 weeks. Christmas was spent alone at our place, with very few presents. I didn't get a chance to go shopping before I was put on bed rest. It was lonely and kind of sad, but still ok, because I was able to be with Brett.
December- The end of December I was finally taken off bed rest! We were able to go to my brother's house and Brett's cousin's house for New Year's Eve. Brett played the Wii with our nephew and Brett's brother brought tons of fireworks to his cousin's house for an awesome display in the snow.
It was definitely an eventful year that we enjoyed deeply. We are even more excited for what this year has in store! Hopefully soon our little girl will be joining us and and we will be able to share all these fun activities with her.
