Feeling blessed

Image
By
Derek and I are truly blessed. We feel so overcome with gratitude and love. Thanks to all of you for your love, support and excitement through the pregnancy and my recent promotion. We have such great family and friends. Thank you.

While I am on the subject of blessings I would like to mention that is hast been such a blessing not to travel in a while. I have traveled at least once/month since February this year. It has been a blast and I love it but I didn't realize how much I love being here with Derek on the weekends. I haven't had to travel the whole month of September and won't start traveling again until next weekend. Thank goodness that's a fun trip to CA for Derek's birthday and his mom's birthday. We are pretty excited. The whole Power family will be together. First time since Cassie's wedding. Then it's off to NYC. That will be a work trip but I am more than excited for the following reasons:
  • Kate! She's the best. I get to visit her while I am there which is always a good time.
  • Robyn, Juli, and Heather! They are flying out while I am out there and we are sharing a hotel room which is looking pretty nice if I do say. We will have so much fun exploring NYC in the fall
  • Aunt Lori and Uncle Joe. I am hoping I get to see them while I am out there. I got to see them last time I was in NY and then Lori this summer and it was so much fun. I actually fly in on her birthday. I should really get on contacting them and planning things. I just am now realizing this trip is approaching faster than I thought.
After this trip to NYC I will be done traveling for the year. Thank goodness for that. I'll get back from NYC and I'll be almost 31 weeks pregnant. I don't know how I will handle all of the traveling I have left but I don't think I could do anymore after that. Wish me luck.

Ok so back to my original point...being home and spending time with Derek. We have really taken advantage of the weekends we have and this one was no exception. 

Derek's 1st BYU Football Game
Isn't he the best?
Finally broke out a long sleeve shirt
Supporting the Cougars...well at least Derek was
Got to watch Hocus Pocus on Saturday night with the fam
Sunday morning was filled with lots of baking. Well it really all started Saturday night. We made cherry cobblers and apple crisp. So delicious. It was followed Sunday by Pumpkin Waffles with the best homemade caramel syrup, Asian salad, and a chocolate raspberry cake for my dad's birthday. Everything was delicious.




Happy Birthday Dad! Glad we are replacing that phone with the iPhone 5!

Ok just a few more from our Friday night BYU Football adventures:


It got cold on those bleachers
Fun dip. It had been so long since I had one of these. They are too much.
Derek was trying to show me his blue teeth from his fun dip
Well we can't wait for this weekend. Should be a fun time and we'll enjoy checking more things off of our fall bucket list. Until next time...

Wise Men Still Seek Him Free Printable

By
UPDATE:  Hello Everyone! I have noticed that this post has been receiving a lot of traffic via pinterest and The Dating Divas Website. I wanted to welcome you all. I still do free printables for different seasons and holidays but no longer post them on my personal blog. We'd love it if you'd follow along on our design journey. You can find us on Facebook ! I also post all of my free printables here . Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy your holiday season. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So the past couple of days I have really been thinking about how I can reflect the true meaning of Christmas in my home. We live in a small two bedroom apartment and there isn't much room to decorate. This morning I was watching the video Wise Men Still Seek Him   and felt inspired to create a printable for my home. It's a good reminder to not only seek Him this time of year but thr...

Big News!

By
So this is big news for the Power family. I know many of you know a million other people who are currently pregnant but before you roll your eyes and skip over this post completely (ha), read on and hear a little bit about our story. I am currently 20 weeks pregnant. We just found out yesterday that we are expecting a baby girl. She is due to enter this world on January 3, 2012. So far she is healthy and growing strong. She is growing about a week ahead of schedule. Maybe she'll come early...like before the end of the year. Derek and I will celebrate our 3rd anniversary on the 16th of January...so not too long after our sweet girl is born. A little about us: Derek: One of the things I love most about Derek is how patiently he accepts trials in his life. He always has such a good atitude about what life has handed him. When he was 11 or 12 he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Then at age 19 he was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer.  He has now been in remission for 5 ...

32 Weeks

By
32 weeks, 2 days here How Far Along: 32 weeks, 4 days Size of the Baby:  Almost 4 pounds and about 17 inches long Weight gain/loss: 3.6 pounds in the last month bringing me to 12.6 pounds total Sleep:  It's gotten worse. Oh well. At least the trains are the least of my worries now. Any sleep advice for the 3rd trimester? I'll take any I can get. I wake up with the worst back and abdomen pain and I have to rotate multiple times throughout the night since my hips, legs, arms, and hands all start going numb. ha I am ready to buy a recliner and sleep sitting up. It might work out better. Best Moment of the Week: My birthday and my baby shower. (More to come on these later) How could you not have an awesome week with those two things in the mix? Movement: Lots of rolling and jabbing. I feel like the past couple days she has been moving more constantly. I am loving it. Only two other people have felt her move besides her parents - Samantha and Jami...
