End of summer

For our last summer huzzah, we decided to go camping with my nursing school pals and their hubsys! It was so much fun, we went up to the Uintahs by Lily Lake and completely forgot our camera, so the pictures are courtesy of Christie. Above is Nicole, Me in my hot pants, Ashley, and Rachel. This one is of Kaylee, BJ and Christie's baby, and she is pretty much favorite little person ever, just look at that face! How could you not love her? Tanner said on the drive home if we have a girl he hopes they're exactly like her. :) We had so much fun and definitely needed a little getaway. Other than driving some places our little Suzuki couldn't really handle and denting our car's frame a little, the trip was a success!

For those of you who don't know, Tanner has two major phobias-spiders and bears. Right after we got our tent set up, we realized there were strange markings on this tree directly outside our tent. Then we realized they were bear claws. Everyone started joking about it, then we all got scared and stopped.

Me and Rachel, both prego! Rachel is due next month having a little boy, we are so excited for them! And she is such a trooper coming camping!! She even squatted to pee in the wilderness! At 8 months pregnant! I tried squatting for my first time, and totally peed on my pants a little bit, I was seriously impressed with her skills!

Christie and adorable little Kaylee. Did I mention she's the cutest thing ever?

Cutesy Nicole and Jeremy, just had their 2 month anniversary! Awww..

We're so grateful for so many great friends!

In other news, our little fetus is growing like a weed and starting to make my belly poke out. It's a little sad to look chubby, but really I'm excited to be showing, it's so fun! According to a website, it's the size of a large apple or something. Why do baby websites all compare baby sizes to fruit? Last month it was a fig, I know it's uncultured to admit, but I have never seen a fig and that means nothing to me. I hit the 16 week mark tomorrow, it's so fun! I can't wait to feel it move, that will make things feel more real. And I haven't been sick for a week, so life is great!
Tanner has a med school interview in Ohio Sept. 1st, we're hoping to start hearing from more schools soon. School started again yesterday, Tanner was definitely more enthusiastic about it than I was, but he's right, it's exciting to be getting it done and over with. We're both graduating in May, only two more semesters to go! Summer just didn't feel long enough, but it'll be good to finish and be done! Good luck to everyone else starting school again!
