Arches National Park
We went to Arches National Park this past weekend and we had so much fun!


This is a window on the way to Delicate Arch. We climbed up some sandstone to get up there, and it was REALLY windy! Little pieces of red sand started attacking us so we couldn't stay up there for long. Too bad our picture is on the blurry side. It was really gorgeous.
I thought the map said it was .5 miles to get to Delicate Arch. Well, the lookout point was only .5 miles, but the hike we ended up taking was a 3 mile hike. It was over gravel, sandstone and high edges without railings. It was sooo fun, but I was trying to figure out why the .5 mile seemed to be sooo long! We decided Ryan would take care of the map part next time, haha.
I just love this picture because it's hilarious. Ryan is so funny. This is his "Napolean Dynamite" pose. haha :)
There were beautiful rock formations everywhere we went. It was just amazing to see a different kind of beauty than we see every day.
This is at the visitor's center after our long day. We were sooo tired!!
I really like this picture. The wood on the trees was so twisted and it just looked beautiful. This is what I imagine the "burning bush" looking like (without the fire of course) when Moses stood on Holy Ground.

March Update
Yes, I know my blog post titles are verging on lame! We have had some really hard laughs together the past month to the point where tears come out. One night we were driving home from a date and Ryan kept hicupping. It sounded exactly like he was drunk. We could not stop laughing! So, not only did Ryan sound like he was drunk, we looked like it also (since he was the one driving that couldn't see due to the tears). We had to pull over to gain composure so a cop didn't come to the same conclusion.

Here is a pic of me at 19 weeks. Yes, here is me with gorilla arms. I was trying to position them so you could see the belly. When, if ever, in pregnancy, do pictures turn out exactly the way you want them to anyway?!
Here I am at 25 weeks (today). Sometimes I feel like she grows twice as big every night while I'm trying to sleep, haha. Actually, I sleep pretty well. It's the part when I wake up in the middle of the night that is the problem. I sleep with one pillow for my back or sides and two pillows under my head. It helps A LOT. I like to just sit and think about her and how our lives will change. I like to think about what color of hair she'll have (I think brown and Ryan thinks red) and when she'll make her debut. I like to think about holding her and I prefer skipping over the part where she comes and I'm in labor. She's scheduled to come in 3 1/2 months (I'm officially in the 3rd trimester!) and I am just so intensely excited to be a parent as is Ryan. She moves all the time and we just are so excited.
