This past weekend was pretty full of stuff. Thursday night, some of my friends threw me a baby shower. It was SO fun to see everyone there. I loved it! Baby Dax got some pretty impressive items as well.
Friday was our first anniversary! Gotta love being 8 months pregnant at one year...leave it to a "Hansen"--we (my mom and sisters and I) have all been pregnant within the first 6 months of marriage. Whew! It was great to be able to spend the entire day with my wonderful husband. We slept in, ate lunch, went and saw a matinee of The Dark Knight, had dinner at Hamilton's (Robbie tried the duck...not bad!), and spent the night at Providence Inn, which we would both HIGHLY recommend. Leave it to me to watch TLC's "What Not To Wear" all night long. Don't judge me.
We woke up the next morning and went down to the Bountiful Temple to do sealings before we remembered that they won't allow pregnant women to do all that kneeling, so we opted to do initiatories instead. It had been a few years since either one of us had done them, so it was a good reminder and a great experience.
While I was waiting for Robbie to finish, I watched as all the newly-married couples came out to meet their respective families and saw Elder Russell M. Nelson exit the temple. It's amazing how much the Spirit can witness in such a short moment. I am so grateful to have a testimony of the gospel! There is nothing quite like the moments where the Spirit whispers that everything you've been praying about is true and real.
Leaving the temple, we headed to Robbie's parents' house for the Allred/Singleton Baby Shower. Dax has really cleaned up on this gift thing. People have been so generous and wonderful and supportive of our little family. Thank you all! What a great blessing!
Saturday afternoon, Robbie, Kathy, Sara (Robbie's mom and sister), and I went down to the Salt Lake Parade of Homes. There's this really great $4.5 million home we are saving up for.... You should have seen the four of us limping around (Robbie and his mom both have bum knees, Sara had hurt her back, and I am, well, I'm 8 months pregnant, so mine was more like a waddle, but whatever).
It was a good weekend, but we are glad to be home so that we can get our house clean before this little guy comes!

You think my hair looks bad from 30years ago....just wait until you look at your pictures in 2038. Dax will want his wife to cut hers just like yours! I can arrange with your stylist to copy the style on you...I know her personally!!!
Sounds like you had a wonderful anniversary. I'm glad you found such a great guy to marry! If I had known him, he would have definitely made my short list.
What an awesome anniversary! I am glad it went so well, and that you got to see Elder Nelson. Good luck with this last month or so of your pregnancy. You are going to be one awesome Momma!!
happy anniversary! that's exciting and it sounds like you had a fun weekend :) that is so neat that you got to go to the temple and see Elder Nelson...wow!
baby showers are the best! people are so nice to help out, expecially since who in the world knows exactly what these little guys will need, let alone has all the money for it.
What a fun-filled weekend! Good things to keep you busy. Congrats on the anniversary and you look gorgeous in the picture BTW. You guys are great together!
It was so good to see you at your shower! It had been way to long. Good luck with the tail end of your pregnancy...can't wait to hear updates!
yeah! happy anniversary! it was so fun to see everyone a couple nights ago. . . hopefully you move somewhere close down here so we all can hang out more! :o)
That's so funny.....I totally watch What Not To Wear when I get bored or can't sleep. Davie always teases me about it, I keep telling him to nominate me and then I get free clothes...
