Studies and Parties and Pink, Oh My!

Life has been so hectic these last few weeks with preparing for Baby D and trying to cram finals and final projects in with three weeks less than everyone else in school. Some how, though, I was able to squeeze in a baby shower that was so graciously given by the women in my church; my extended family of sisters.

That evening was so fun and quite delicious! I was truly blessed with great friends and wonderful memories. Not to mention, I went home with some awesome loot! I can't think of anything more that I could possibly need for when Baby D first arrives. And I think I am almost used to all of the PINK!!

With only 10 days left until Baby D's debut, I am looking forward to tomorrow being my last day of school this semester, Thanksgiving just a couple days away and few days in there to spare for nesting and relaxation.

A big congratulations to cousin Stacy, Aaron and little Jake welcoming baby Kaia into the world yesterday!

Coastal Festivities

Another weekend passed that was jam-packed with fun! My wonderful Aunt Katie hosted a baby shower for me at her house over on the coast. I was so blessed to have been supported by such awesome family and  friends who came from near and far. To sum it up: fun people, delicious food, silly games and LOTS of pink!

After we were all done partying, Mom, my friend Abbie, and I all crashed at Aunt Katie's house and woke up early the next morning to head to the annual Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival. I've been going since I was a kid. It's probably the only time of year when a little beach town of 10,000 sees crowds of around 250,000! It was fun to run into family and friends as we strolled the booths on Main St.

Don't mind the fact that it looks like I swallowed a pumpkin! Ha ha! It was a fun get-away trip full of laughs. It was less than 24 hours, but I was wiped by the time we headed back home. It was a beautiful drive along the coast. Thank you to everyone who made it such a fun and memorable weekend.

Big and Blessed,

D
