Fun with Aly & Andrew

My computer crashed last year and I just realized there were a bunch of things that never got posted!   A few of these fun events were outing with Aly + Andrew!!  I thought I would take a moment to post a few of the fun times we had with each other.  I say HAD because they also moved recently and I'm not sure when our next couples date night will happen :(   At least it was fun while it lasted!!

The Many Faces of Dan the Man

 Danny decided to grow a "study beard" while he was cramming over the summer for his Board Exam.   He grew his beard for about 3 months +10 days (April-July) and this is the bearded man that emerged victorious!   While I was at work he decided to have a photo shoot as he slowly shaved off his hard earned beard.   From the amazing score he got on the board exam I think it was the beard that helped him along :)   Which one is your Favorite?!

What's going to happen!?

Hm... what's going to happen this weekend?! No one seems to know.  After an earthquake on Tuesday with little after shocks the past few days.  We are now faced with a hurricane that nobody can say for sure how it will affect the area where we live.  The shelves have been wiped clean of supplies, I'm glad we have food storage and are ok.  It's interesting to see what chaos and panic sets in because people aren't prepared.   I've even had to tell people at work about 72 hr kits and how they should be ready for power outages, food shortages, etc...  I think they are all in denial.  At least Danny and I are prepared :)  I made sure we have a full tank of gas, water, food and some cash just in case we need to head for the hills! 

Random notes:
I was doing a meeting house search on LDS.org and came across this view of all the LDS meetinghouses in the world!! It's inspiring to see how far reaching the gospel of Jesus Christ is.  And I'm a part of it! Yea!! 

Random rant #2
I went to my OB/GYN appt yesterday since I have to go every 2 weeks.   After MANY visits of "everything is perfect" (I'm 33 weeks now) one of the Dr's told me that I had gained too much weight and that I needed to be very careful.   Really?!?!??! I've only gained 24lbs according to their scales... (21 according to mine!) and it's either water weight or all belly.  I really couldn't believe that she was seriously getting on my case about gaining too much weight.  I can't really go work off the calories at the gym like I used to so I'm not quite clear on how I'm supposed to keep off gaining anymore unless I eat like a bird.   Which at this point is not going to happen.  I mean I haven't been eating for two at all, I've been VERY careful with my portions and only allowed myself a treat here and there.  What was worse is that I feel healthy and wanted to punch her in the nose for pointing out that I'm overweight in front of my husband. It's one of 2 appts he's been able to attend and she has to bring up my weight issue in front of him!!  ... I'm freaking pregnant and have never gone through this before, how am I supposed to know how much my body should our shouldn't gain?!  grrr...  That's my random rant for today....

UPDATE:

I went to my next Dr's appt 2 weeks later had only gained barely a pound and the other physician told me I was right on and was super excited that I had kept my weight so low my entire pregnancy!!  Geeze the difference between the two Dr's was amazing...   I had stressed about it for 2 weeks and then was told that I was right on for my entire pregnancy.  It's now been another week since that appt and I'm the same weight.  Hopefully this will be the trend for the last 4 weeks! Woot Woot! No one wants extra baby weight... and I don't plan on packing it on any time soon :)  YEA!!
