Monday Zach and I attended Zach’s cousin’s funeral.

I have been thinking of this family constantly since we found out Susan passed away. Even though I didn’t know Susan very well, her husband and five children that have been left without her have consumed my thoughts.  Still praying for all of them and wishing Tessa the speediest recovery possible.

Well…we sold my car.  In five days.  Bless you, KSL.  Who knew that I would miss my Mazdarati so much?  Silvie has been a great car these past six years.  I teared up when I handed over the keys to a very excited high-school kid.  Who asked me how old I was, by the way.  He was very confused that I was the owner.  It didn’t help that I had my gym clothes on, no make-up, and wearing my retainer…

SO much has been happening with work projects lately.  I haven’t been very good at keeping up with their progress, but it has been so fun to see my design projects be put into production.  Warrior HERS stick packs were made this past week…

Along with updates on a very cute project I am helping some peeps out with.  They will be selling kids pillows and textiles.  Can’t wait to post more!  [I will be ordering a few products for our babe’s nursery here pretty soon, hopefully!]…

On Wednesday Zach and I had an appointment to find out the gender of our little nugget.  It [I hate calling it an IT, for the record] was being super bashful and they sent us home with inconclusive results.  We were both so bummed we couldn’t find out that we drowned our sorrows at Coldstone.  For the record, my first time at Coldstone since I got knocked up.  This is a record for me.  We rescheduled our gender appointment until Saturday, but more on that later.

Saturday morning we rushed off to brunch at Eggs in the City to try and beat the crowd.  We weren’t early enough apparently, because the line was out the door.  Luckily our party of two got a spot by the window fairly quickly and enjoyed our feast.

Later that evening we enjoyed sushi [a California roll for myself] and a movie.

I treat Diet Coke more like a splurge these days.  I try to limit my intake, but on weekends I celebrate.  I decided to sneak in an ice cold can under my arm.  I felt so clever, until I realized the guy next to me was sneaking in a full-on chicken kabob.  It was super pungent [blame it on my supersonic senses that have been even MORE heightened] and nobody even gave him a second glance.  I guess my sneakiness was for nothing…

Everyone knows I am not a Disney fan, but the Million Dollar Arm was such a cute show.  Definitely worth a matinee, at least.

Sunday after church Zach and I had made plans to do hobo dinners and s’mores up Millcreek Canyon.  The first two items on our summer list – completed!  I tried something new:  cooking the contents of the meal in a pie tin.  Spoiler alert!:  It is a life changer.  So much more moist and flavorful.  We are already planning on doing this again…really soon.

Zach ate one s’more and was comatose.  I could have enjoyed 10 by myself…

Monday morning we met my fam at IHOP for a Memorial Day breakfast.  We all had pancakes, waffles, bacon, etc.  Blake decided to get a Macaroni and Bacon Cheeseburger.  At 10:30 in the morning…

Brittany’s face says it all, really.

We also attended several family BBQ’s this weekend [which I documented really well with pictures, obviously] and had such a great time catching up with so many people.

As for baby news – my Amazon deal jackpot showed up this week!  I still can’t believe I got the stroller I have been pining for [but was too cheap to buy at full price] for over $200 off!  It pays to check daily deal websites, I guess.  We had a great time setting it up together.  The weight limit almost cover’s Zach, too.  So…

And I crossed another week off!  Celebrating up Millcreek, we took my weekly pic.  14 weeks have come and gone [technically as I type this I am 15 weeks, but we aren’t being literal here]…
