Thank you!

Thanks to all my family and friends for the fun baby showers. You guys are awesome! Between baby showers gifts and hand-me-downs we didn't have to buy anything. I'm sure we will figure out what we are missing when the little guy arrives. If he ever decides to be born. But for now I think we are all set. So again, Thank you all so much for your love and support.

Check out all the awesome stuff!

Thank you to the Department of Workforce Services. You guys really now how to throw a party!

It seems Nate's work friends know him well.

I just thought these were some cute pictures of Nate. Isn't he going to be a wonderful dad.

Nate's family had a wonderful shower as well with some great company and wonderful food. Thank you so much!

Look at how much fun my friends had at the shower they did. Thanks guys!

Our little boy is rich thanks to their bad memories. They had to put money into that piggy bank every time they called someone by their real name and not their fake shower name.

This was Mike's first baby shower. Nice of him to come in place of his wife.



Again, Thank you all! We will let you know when I finally have the baby. Hopefully it will be sooner than later, because I am getting pretty uncomfortable.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to Me!
I'm 27, how crazy is that!
I had a great birthday. Actually, I had to work on my real birthday but we celebrated on Thursday and Friday. Nate is so great. He always has some big fun suprise plans to make my birthday special.

We spent Thursday night in the Presidential Suit at the Anniversary Inn in Salt Lake. It was nice room with a great view. The picture below is from our balcony. Unfortunately, it was freezing cold so we didn't spend much time out there.


















We spent all day Friday visiting old historic mining/train towns down by Tooele.

OPHER, UTAH http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/ut/ophir.html.
Opher was the funnest. It looks like people still live up there in the summer time. They have some cool old mining stuff to look at. You can visit this link for more information on Opher

























MERCUR,UTAH http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/ut/mercur.html
If you go to the Mercur link it will tell you that ther is nothing left, and it is true. The whole area is just one big strip mine now. Pretty lame!
However, there are still a few remains left in West Dip which was a suburb of Mercur.

WEST DIP, UTAH http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/ut/westdip.html
On Nate's map it said the town was just a mile up the road from the cemetary so we thought it would be nice to take a little walk. We took the wrong road, but it was a nice walk, except I was really slow. It's pretty tough to walk up hill when you have a big prego belly. All we saw on that road was a few blown up mines and one that was gated off. Jerks won't let us have any fun.
When we got back in the car we drove down the road a little ways and drove right to West Dip. The picture below is what is left of West Dip.


















TOPLIFF, UTAH http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/ut/topliff.html
Topliff was our next destination. We actually never found it. We must have driven past it without noticing it so I guess there really wasn't anything too great left. What we found was two abandoned houses next to a railroad. We assumed it was Topliff so we stopped to explore. Lucky for us the locks on the doors had been broken off. It appeared that the houses were abandoned sometime during the 70's.


Nate has a whole list of historical places and towns he wants to visit. We would love to have some company if anyone is interested in coming along on our next adventure.
