Sometimes I still do fun things...

Friends, I know it has been forever. Apparently, growing a baby as well as prepping for his arrival and taking on the adventure of buying a house and still trying to keep up with work and every day life has caused me to become a little brain dead. Every time I sit down to blog, I just go blank. However, I will try tonight.

On the baby front, all is going well. Danny and I went to some birthing classes which we found very informative. My favorite part is when they taught the dads-to-be how to give back massages to relieve pain to the mommys-to-be. That was the best class. Baby likes to move and wiggle all the time. I also got a prescription from the doc, so the heartburn is way more bearable. The latest pregnancy symptom to combat is the swelling that comes with the heat. I had no idea how it can hurt! However, with ice packs and a nice sister and husband who will sometimes massage my ankles, we shall soldier on.

On the house front, we have found a house we really like and things are coming together really well. We haven't closed yet, but are getting close. Danny and I take turns of having stressed out moments, but luckily since we take turns at least one of us is calm in those moments. However, I'm really excited and if the house goes through (fingers crossed) I will share more about that later.

So with all these life changes around the corner, I've needed a few nights of fun to keep me sane. A week or two ago, my work had a family night at the new aquarium. Danny and I went and made a date night of it and had a lot of fun. I thought it was very cool.

Under the sea..

Danny and the creepy eel. 

Danny bonding with the stingray.

Though sharks freak me out, the shark tunnel was pretty cool.

Me and Danny by some big fish that are from the Amazon.

I took this picture of the little yellow frog only to come home and look at
the picture and see there was a little green frog right next to him that I
had not noticed when we were there.

Penguins ready for bed.

Some orcas have no understanding when it comes
to personal space.

This caused me some concern.

For my second outing, I went with some friends to the Spiral Jetty. It has been on my list of places to visit for a long time, so I'm glad we actually made it happen. We went at dusk and it was quite pretty.

Picture taking.

The spiral jetty at first glance.

A closer look.

I came here for this? Just kidding, it is a fake jetty.

Taking credit for building the fake spiral jetty. 

Taking a walk.

Another view of the spiral.

I loved it this much.

My sad, swollen feet and ankles on salt. Feet shots shall not stop just
because my feet are incredibly puffy these days.

Becky, Tina and Me.

The view of the lake was rather lovely.

Just when you thought you have seen enough the spiral jetty, one
more shot. It really was cool.
