Gratitude: Fall 2011

This Thanksgiving I realized that I have SO much to be grateful for. I would like to share some of those things:

1.) A wonderful/supportive Family:
During the beginning of October, Vance took his Step II clinical exam in LA, California, so I got to visit my awesome sister! The weather was amazing!

Julie. Debbie. (28/29 weeks pregnant)

2.) Our beautiful baby girl, who will arrive in just a few weeks!!

My friend Alana was sweet enough to take some maternity photos for me, and they came out beautiful!!

Me (32/33 weeks pregnant)

3.) Wonderful friends!! I am so lucky to have the most wonderful friends here in Denver!!

Vivian. Mae. Ashley. Debbie. Rachel. Alana. Alexandria. (taken same day as above photo).

Mary Lynn. Debbie. (37.5 and 32/33 weeks respectively)

We have so much fun going to events with our friends in Denver. We went with the Olson and Barrus family to the punkin chunkin where pumpkins are shot off.

Josh. Vance.

Debbie. Alana. (I think I am 31 weeks in this picture).

Alana. Chelsea. Debbie

The following weekend, we went with Vance's family to the Zombie Crawl in downtown Denver.

There were zombies EVERYWHERE. It was surreal taking the light rail downtown filled with zombies. I felt like I was in another world.

4.) My wonderful Husband! I love Vance so much! I feel so grateful that I made such a great decision when I was so young to marry Vance. He works so hard and is so much fun!

Vance on Halloween (Which was also his first interview for surgical residency programs!) I think he looks so good in his new John Varvatos suit (Thanks Julie for the discount!!)

5.) Finally getting all of the baby stuff organized!! (Thank you to Alexandria for getting me motivated!) This black Friday weekend Vance and I spent most of our time washing baby clothes and building a wardrobe from IKEA.

Here I am 36/37 weeks pregnant posing in front of our baby girl's little corner of the world.

Happy Thanksgiving!
