Retreat

Our ward did a Relief Society Retreat last weekend and it was such a blast.  Our challenge for the overnight retreat was to read the whole Book of Mormon.  We split up and each read 22 pages and we actually got it all done!  It was fun to have some quiet time reading and be able to work together to read the entire Book of Mormon.

Here's the group that was able to be there.  It was so much fun getting to know some of the ladies in the ward a little better. 

We had some fun get-to-know-you games and some great spiritual uplifting.  
And the scenery was beautiful.  This is the same camp where we had Girls Camp, only this time it wasn't raining - thank goodness.
The hike was gorgeous in the canyon with the leaves starting to change colors.  I love fall!
Angela, Hope and I were buddies during the trip.  

After coming home to a much needed shower and nap - yes, both were necessary - the excitement really started at the Demolition Derby.  If you've read my blog, you know how much I love the derby's.  Gotta love the crunching metal, flipping cars, and dirt flying in your face!
Luke even got off work early enough to make it to part of it.  
And just in case you were worried that I was the crazy-picture-taking-maniac in my family.... you're wrong.  I do like taking pictures, but obviously not as much as my brother and sisiter!  OK, well maybe we are all picture maniacs.  
Steve is now in Scotland for the next year with his lovely wife, so we won't be seeing many pictures of him for a while.  Try not to have too much fun without us.  

Let the countdown begin

Less than 8 weeks people!  This is getting very exciting!  I still have a ton of work to do to get little baby's nursery ready, but hopefully I'll have enough time.  

We've gotten a TON of hand-me-down clothes so I'm pretty sure I won't have to do any clothes shopping for the first year.  I'm guessing that it's diaper shopping that I'll have to do.  

I haven't intentionlly hid the belly, I just don't have many pictures with it in there.  But here's one for those of you that haven't seen it already.  

Introducing...

Mr and Mrs Steven Grant and Kristen Kathleen Adams

They were married in the Bountiful Temple on September 3rd for time and eternity.  It was such a beautiful day and a beautiful wedding.  


After pictures at the temple, we had a luncheon at Joy Luck Chinese.  It was so delicious!  Nothing beats great Chinese food.  The reception was at The Officers Club on University of Utah campus.  

Kristen did all the flower arrangements, which were beautiful.  

Me and groom

I was concentrating so much on throwing the little beads in the air that I only got Kristen in the picture.  It was such a fun day and we're so excited to have Kristen part of our family.  

Congrats on the great day and many to come in the future.
