Fanksgiving!

It would be terrible if I didn't take five minutes and write the things I am grateful for. Isn't that what Thanksgiving is about? Recognizing everything we have and taking a moment to step back and look at our loved ones around us. Life is so good.

Thanksgiving this year was spent at the Harlan's. Small and perfect. We had All the Harlan's-minus Bri, Ty, and Baby Han unfortunately, but everyone else was here! Douger, Barb and Justin joined us for the feast. I think being pregnant I didn't quite enjoy Thanksgiving like I usually do, I think it was because after not even eating half of the things on my plate I felt like the baby was going to explode out of my abdomen with a BANG like in the comic strips. I have to say the Sock-it-to-ya salad and the yams alone about did me in! But I prevailed and ate to my hearts content.

After we finished dinner Grammy and Grandpa and the Morris' joined us. We sat and talked and laughed. I was so overwhelmed with a sense of love for my family around me. I sometimes forget what a big difference they really do make in our lives. I thought a lot about Neal too. I miss him especially when we're all together like this, it just doesn't seem right. But it is alright.

Since I'm 20 I will write 20 things I'm grateful for....

1. Toilet Paper (i'd starve before I would go without it)
2. My own family! (BABY COME SOON!)
3. New computers so I can be a better blogger (Got a MAC)
4. My clothes in my closet, since I haven't been able to fit in them a new appreciation has risen.
5. Marshmallow Maytey's
6. 2% milk
7. My family of course!
8. Martinelli's because it's the closest thing i'll ever get to a alcoholic drink
9. Crown Moldings
10. Education
11. Instagram and all it's glory.
12. My amazing bed, this is an understatement, I love my bed.
13. Tea, Hot cocoa, and other hot things!
14. The sun
15. Glen being successful and being SO close to getting into Med School!
16. Glen tutoring me in Chemistry, I would be failing if it wasn't for you babe!
17. Friends and all their hilariousness, kindness, and excitedness for my new baby.
18. Fur, I just love fur right now.
19. Gimli, he's too cute to not be grateful for him
20. Razors, because otherwise I would be a part looking monkey woman.


I really am grateful for a lot of things. Our lives almost seem too perfect, like it's almost been too easy. Glen and I are so happy, yah a little stressed about a new baby (what's new??), but overall we have an great life together full of laughs hourly. Times are hard but times are good and for the most part these are good times and I should appreciate them because you never know what's around the corner. So for that I am thankful.

BABY NAME SURVEY!

Med School Interviews

Well Glen has heard back from 3 schools. Rocky Vista in Denver rejected him, but we don't like them anyways because his scores were way above their average so I think he's too good to go somewhere like that anyways! (we keep telling ourselves that so we don't feel to bad ha!) But really the only good thing that came out of Colorado was The Lumineers and people only know them because of a one hit wonder that personally has gotten so old as far as I'm concerned my grandmother listened to it. Yes, they're from Denver, and now you have another piece of useless information in your brain.

 Midwestern in Arizona put Glen on a wait list which isn't a bad thing. He still has a chance of getting an interview especially as they are rolling enrollment which means as someone drops out they add someone. 

Pacific Northwest in Washington state is so far our favorite because get this, GLEN GOT AN INTERVIEW! We are so excited because I've always loved the northwest and could seriously live there. He flies out January 9th (hopefully the baby is here by then, if not just kill me) He has his flight booked and we are seriously praying our hearts out that it goes well. I was so excited that I started researching the town that the Medical School is in. Yakima. let's just say I'm not quite as excited as I was..... See for yourself.

 As you can see it looks exactly like Utah, which is exactly what I don't want. But I'm still happy that Glen got an interview. And it's nice to know that the picture on the left is only an hour drive away...

We were so happy Glen got an interview that we stopped an got some Martinelli's and had a toast (ignore the ugly scrubs)

Baby Shower

Last weekend my beautiful family threw me the prettiest baby shower I have ever seen! They had a Fall theme and the food was absolutely divine. Briana and Hannah came out all the way from Delaware and were able to be there! Here are some of the beautiful pictures from the shower, just to give you a taste of how perfect it was! Thanks to all the beauties who made it!
