almost 7 months!

I am finally posting some prego pictures. Here is the picture you have been waiting for! At almost 7 months now....Here is that stunning profile, as promised:


Yes, Daniel doesn't show any of the wear of the pregnancy. Me on the other hand:


It's popping. Our little parasite kicks a lot. But we still love Miss Maggie. (Full name: Margaret Naomi)

goodbye to jamie

this post is for my friend jamie- she was my roommate before our missions, then afterward before I got married... Jamie, Heidi and I have had some crazy times together-



The most hard core biker I have ever met.


She's the favorite on Monroe family trips.




She lives hard core. (Heidi is also the most hard core woman I know.)



She is willing to do crazy things with me.


We eat our weird healthy foods together... these gingerbread houses sat untouched for months.


She will dress up for no reason. Especially for murder mystery games.


She puts up with my throwing up and still hikes with me. Cheers to Jamie... I will miss you. Good luck in D.C.!

this and that

why I haven't been blogging:

1. trip to tetons
2. throwing up
2. trip to san diego & baja
3. trip to chicago & indiana
4. throwing up
5. lots of work (yay! I am more faithful on my work blog!!)
6. throwing up


ok so really I know I have never been that great at blogging, so lets just say that 6 months of pregnancy throwing up ( I have thrown up in so many states now! hehe) and work all day on the computer makes me less apt to blog... but I know I am overdue on some pictures. Sadly, I don't have too many pictures of me from this summer... apparently I have been camera shy. But I do have a lot of amazing scenery pictures..... hundreds and hundreds actually. hehe. But I promise this afternoon I will make Brittany take a picture of me... we are making a seven peaks outing. huzzah!
