A quiet and cool summer

Summer has not been very nice to us this year. It has stayed moderately cool and cloudy for the most part. It hasnt given us any opportunities to go swimming, camping or just enjoying the weather outside. It only started to get nice and warm when Nick and I headed off to Vegas to battle 100+ degree temps! Phew!

We have only 11 weeks to go until our precious little Emerson is due to arrive. The time has flown by and we are quickly realizing that we will be parents in just a very short time. We are beyond excited and simply cannot wait to meet our bundle of joy. We have started on her room and enlisted Angela and Becky's help to paint the walls. Nick and I also put her crib together and it looks great. Megan had her baby boy Logan on August 22nd and he is such a doll! It got us super excited because we are next!

We were able to go see comedian Daniel Tosh which was a blast. He was funny as usual and had the crowd roaring with laughter. We had a nice dinner with Joel and Angela first in Bellingham and then went to the Mount Baker Theater to see him.

Our 2nd anniversary and my 31st birthday came and went in August. Nick got me a beautiful camera which I wanted primarily for when baby Emerson makes her arrival! Nick is all geared up and getting ready to start school again. He worked for 3 weeks this summer teaching for a science summer academy which he enjoyed. His first day back will be the same day we start our birthing classes! What an exciting day! :)

Here are a few pics from our trip to Vegas. We went with Joel and Angela and had a great time. Joel was there for an EMS Expo so there were quite a few other medics that we hung around with too. I got pretty exhausted with all of the walking you do in Vegas but it was overall a nice little "babymoon" to allow us a little time to enjoy ourselves before our lives change forever! :)
