Catching Up

Boy it feels good to be back. Welcome to the new and constantly improved Layover Diaries! Since I haven't blogged since last February (where did the year go??) I thought a major month by month catch up post was in order. Fair warning- it's a long one.

March - Cheap tickets + free place to stay + spring travel bug = A quick trip to NYC with Rebecca and Jason


April - Grand Junction for Easter and a little trip to Casa Bonita (a Denver legend) with friends
May - A BIG month. Cabo with Chris's family, found out we were expecting!!!!, traveled to Atlanta for Justin's homecoming and Tyler's High School gradua
 
June - Had first ultrasound, enjoyed the warm weather, Chris jetted off to India to train people for work

July - I went to LA and met up with the family to tour Justin's mission (LA), Chris finished up in India and went to Ireland and Florida. He was home for a week and then went back to India and then Oregon.


August - Showed the fam around Denver with hikes, exploring mountain towns and some great food. Celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary and found out we were having a BOY!!
September - Went baby shopping with Mom, celebrated Chris's 26th birthday, spent a weekend in Grand Junction with Jason and Rebecca, spent a quick weekend in Utah. We also spent the last part of the month in Spain...
Mallorca, Spain - Historic train ride, resort lounging, exploring Palma and Soller, dipping our toes in the Mediterranean
Barcelona - Hop on Hop off tours, major sightseeing (Park Guell, Las Rambles, La Sagrada Familia, Montjuic), tapas, churros and chocolate, Camp Nou stadium tour, etc. Our favorite city by far!
Madrid - More sightseeing, market exploring, cheering on Real Madrid in our FIRST ROW seats at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium

October - BYU v Notre Dame in Southbend with Dad and Justin, trip to Atlanta for BYU v GA Tech, pumpkin picking and a county fair baby shower!

November - Mama to Bee baby shower, Thanksgiving in Grand Junction, maternity pictures
December - The whole family comes to Denver for baking, games, hockey, playing in the snow, shopping, nursery assembling, baby waiting, Christmas and New Years
That's it folks - the last year in a nutshell. I resolve to post more often to avoid huge posts in the future.
