Babymoon! Because I'm NOT motivated!

It's official.

My motivation to do anything has gone out the window. I don't even have the famous preggo lady "nesting instinct" driving me to get things done. I just want to sit, eat food, read books, watch tv shows, and take naps. It was a struggle getting myself to make this blog post, for crying out loud!

That being said... the mini vacation we had this past weekend was a nice break from things. Even if it wasn't particularly relaxing (let's face it... vacations are never as relaxing as we expect them to be) it was still great to have a change of pace.

Doug works for an awesome company and they had a company retreat this past weekend up in Park City. Since Doug is crazy busy and I have a fair bit going on myself, we decided that this retreat would double as our "babymoon" - because goodness knows we're probably not going to take any other trips between now and baby's arrival.

I won't go through all the details... but I will say that I completely disregarded the rules about under-cooked meat during pregnancy and had a medium-rare filet mignon for dinner. No regrets. It was delicious and baby still seems perfectly healthy. I also took home handfuls of the pumpkin kisses that were covering the dinner tables.

Park City, you're always good to us. And the pretty fall foliage was a definite bonus. AND I really enjoyed going to that 5-star spa for a 50 minute foot/calf massage. My feet really needed it.

Oh... and Happy Halloween, everyone.

Even a rainy beach will do

It's days like today that I wish I were back here.

With the weather hovering in the high 90s, the beach sounds really nice. Even a rainy-day beach like this one. I'm not picky as long as there's sand crabs, ocean water, and a salty breeze. It's been nearly half a year since I stood on a beach, and nearly 2 years since I went to a beach when it's warm and sunny.

That day was windy. I can't decide if I like windy beaches or not. It cools you down, but your hair gets crazy. Beach-hair to the extreme!

Speaking of wind, I can hear a lot of wind outside right now! I'm crossing my fingers because the temperature has dropped down to 73 degrees and it's supposed to get into the 60s tonight. There's even a 20% chance of rain tomorrow! I suppose I'm getting my hopes up, but you never know. Provo has very strange weather...

Summer rain storms, anyone? I don't know about you, but I love them. Especially when you throw in a little thunder.
