We have had such a crazy busy last 2 weeks! I have been meaning to update our blog, but time just got away from me. First, we'll start with Thanksgiving...one of my favorite holidays!!
Thanksgiving was such a blast this year! Mom and Dad Clark flew in from Chicago to spend time with Preston and I and we absolutely LOVED it! We had such a great time going to dinner, walking the River Walk, checking out the Alamo, and just hanging around the house enjoying each other's company. We ate our Thanksgiving meal at Fogo de Chao, which is a Brazilian Steakhouse (a Tucanos style restaurant for our Utah followers). It was nice to not have to have a worry free meal and it was so tasty! We then walked the famous River Walk and headed to the Alamo. With all the walking I thought I may have the baby soon but he held on :) We also went and saw the Disney movie Frozen and absolutely LOVED it! Had I known the words, I may have busted out in song with the characters. The music was so inviting and powerful. We had such a fun time with these two and wished the stay could have been longer. How grateful we are to have these two in our lives!

The following week my coworkers threw me such an incredible baby shower! We had my favorite foods - sandwiches and German chocolate cupcakes. They surprised us with a glider and a bouncy seat for the little man! We absolutely love them both and are getting more and more anxious for his arrival. I have the best coworkers and am very happy I have the job I do. We also attended a charity event for work at Potter's Home Ministry. An after school program that a 90 year old man continues to run. We took gifts and food for those in need. Santa came too, so Pres and I had to get a pic!

The next evening we attended a Christmas party that was thrown by Preston's class. I had such a fun time getting to know many of his professors, class mates, and significant others. I laughed a lot and could understand why Preston loves his class and program. We have really been blessed to have all the friends that we have around us.
That next morning the ward threw me a baby shower. We have had so many people reach out and help us with our first baby and we are so grateful. It was so nice to get to know more ladies in our ward and spend time with some of friends. I also decorated our house for Christmas! I absolutely love the season of Christmas and the spirit it brings. Listening to Christmas songs and decorating the tree is an event I look forward to every year.

As far as baby preparation, we are ready to go! We packed up our "go-bags" and put the car seat in the car so we can be ready to go at any minute. We are very much looking forward to meeting this little boy and welcoming him to our family. Hopefully it won't be too much longer now :)
