Camping

Last week, the kids I nanny all had the flu, so I had the whole week off. It was really nice to have a break and rest and use what little energy I had to clean my own house. Also, Jared only has one class on Fridays, and it isn't until 3pm, so we decided to go camping on Thursday night and come back Friday afternoon.
We went to a great place right outside of Driggs, ID at the base of the Tetons. It was beautiful and the weather was really nice. We got to the campground (I am pregnant, after all) and pulled in to a nice spot that was near the bathrooms, but not too close. We built a fire and drank hot cocoa and sat and talked for a little bit, but I got tired pretty fast, so we decided to go to bed.
For some reason, I was terrified of bears the whole time we were out there, which I think started to annoy Jared a little. Every time there was any kind of noise, he would say, "That was just a pine cone falling from a tree, not a bear." I felt bad, because I am usually a pretty happy camper, but for some reason, I was being ridiculously paranoid.
The most exciting thing that happened was at about 2am, we were both woken up by this horrible, bleating screaming. After my heart stopped pounding, I listened closer and it was cows! There was a herd of cows scattered all around the outside of the campground and they were lost in the dark and crying to each other, ALL NIGHT. Needless to say, we did get a little sleep and we still had a lot of fun. The weather is supposed to drop about 30 degrees on Wednesday, so I think we went just in time. The next time we go, it will probably be with our little baby!

Here are a couple of pictures of our camp-out:

This is our camp site. I forgot to take pictures, so the tent was already taken down.


Here is my handsome hubby!

One of my favorites!

September

We have had a wonderful month! Jared started school on the 10th and has been very busy trying to get another 4.0. On top of school, he is also working two jobs, so he hardly has any free time. I admire his dedication and focus and I am so grateful for him.
We also had a house full of guests this weekend, which was really nice. My mom and Glenn came on Friday night to visit us for the weekend. On Saturday night, Lex and Vanessa came and stayed with us too. We went to dinner and played Scattegories and then watched a movie. It was so fun!
On Saturday morning, Jared and I went to the doctor for my monthly checkup. We got to hear the baby's heartbeat which was really exciting, and the doctor said that everything is going really well. He also said that I should start feeling better, which I can't wait for! My mom and I went shopping and bought a couple of little baby things, which just made me more excited for Peanut. I can't wait to be a mom!
