I recently spent about a week in Arizona and I had a great time! I wanted to take one more trip before the baby comes, and I'm glad I could! It was just me on this trip, Josh was still busy with school stuff.
**and side note...Josh finished his third year of medical school today!! He officially only has one more year of school left! He is going to complete one 4th-year rotation before we leave for Ecuador, and he's glad that he gets a two week break before he starts it!
I was able to spend some good time with family and friends. While I was there I was lucky enough to have a baby shower too! It was really nice to see old friends I hadn't seen in years. Here are some pictures of what I did:
We went out to Peoria (the West Valley is so foreign to me!) to visit my sister Kim and her husband Devin. They moved to Peoria earlier this year because Devin is going to nursing school out there. They have a really cute apartment and we had fun playing with their two chihuahua puppies, bbq'ing, and hanging out at the pool.
Yes, I braved the maternity swimsuit! Not a flattering picture at all, but it was so nice to be out in the AZ sun!
I went with my friend Jessica to the salon to get her hair cut. She cut several inches off, so I was there for moral support. :) It turned out great! Before and after:
I helped my talented sister Amy put these adorable cupcakes together, made to look like baby rattles. So cute!

I am SO glad you could come down for a shower! It was so fun to get to see you pregnant (and not just in pictures!). You are so cute, and I'm so excited for you. You and Josh are going to be great parents.
Oh how fun! I REALLY wish I was in town for your shower. I havn't seen Shelly (Faler) or Heather (Martin) in forever!
It was so wonderful seeing you and having the shower. Everything turned out great.
Looks like you had a fun trip. Can't wait till you're back with little Owen! You and Josh are going enjoy him and you'll be the best mommy and daddy ever.
It was so fun to see you finally. I had a lot of fun at the shower. Everything looked so cute, especially YOU!! I bet every pregnant girl wishes she could look like you do. Good luck with everything. I'm excited to see you again when you come down again.
Hey Mel! My friends sister is coming over to Arizona in a few weeks and my friend said that she might know you. Does the name Alison Ellsworth sound familiar to you?
I've been wondering where you have been because I have been seeing Josh at church, but not you! I'm glad you were taking a break and playing in AZ. Your shower looked like a lot of fun!
SOrry I didn't make it to your shower. I really wanted to be there.
It was SO good to see you, if only for a little while! Sorry I'm not much of a small-talker, but I'm glad it turned out great!! You got the CUTEST stuff!!!
Such fun pictures!!
Looks like a great shower :)
Aww...SO CUTE! I love all the pictures. I can't believe you made those cupcakes! I have decided that I am going to actually try REALLY hard to be crafty. When do you come back???
Ok, now I'm suppose to leave you a memory. Well I don't have specific ones, but I do remember playing on the playground with you at Lindbergh! Isn't that funny? It's good to have friends that you've known for so long!
