Not too much exciting has been happening around here lately.  I'm now 17 weeks along and have not been obsessing over everything baby anymore.  Granted, that may change in the next 3.5 weeks when we get to find out the gender.

Matt is still doing the work thing, the scout thing, and the two pipe bands thing.  He stays pretty busy :) 

On the 8th and 9th of June, we went to the Utah Scottish Festival.  Friday night was nice.  The weather was decent and the tattoo was pretty good.  I especially liked the drum major exhibition.  It was fun to see drum major friends.  (I got another hug from Jason Paguio...I wonder if he really knows who I am? We *are* FB friends, and I've tagged him in some photos, but does that mean he recognizes me, really? One of these days I'm going to ask him lol)  Damsel in this Dress was also there.  I got to see my cousins Ashlee and Natalie.  Sadly, Natalie was not feeling well at all on Friday night, but I sat in the booth and chatted with her for quite awhile.

Saturday, Matt had solos.  I also hung out with Natalie for a little bit and introduced her to our extended family who was helping in the piping tent.  The weather was nice.  Justin played for both Matt and Daniel, and screwed up for both of them.  It was pretty entertaining.  Matt took second in both competitions.

Later in the afternoon, the wind picked up.  It got super bad, and SUPER cold.  It was difficult, I bet, for the bands to compete in it.  After Wasatch and District grade 3's performance, Matt and I were on the other side of the field from White Peak's tent.  As we walked back, we noticed an ambulance.  When we got back to the tent, we found out that our two large garage-type tents and blown away. (Yes, they were staked and secured. I told you the wind was bad.) Apparently one of them hit a lady and knocked her unconscious for about a minute.  She was the one in the amublance.  Since we were on the other side of the park, we didn't see it happen.  However, it sounds like they were working on getting the easy-ups down and were about to bring down the other two tents when they took off.  Quite an adventurous day.

 Our friend Glenn Kvidahl judging.
 Another casualty of the heavy wind.  This little guy isn't fully fledged, so he was sort of gliding from place to place.  He wasn't so fond of getting caught, though.


As for me, our Draper phone center at work is nigh unto done.  We went up for the first orientation last week.  It's a nice facility.  I'm quite excited to work there.  We were supposed to be up and running yesterday, but the internet got hooked up to the wrong building (because the address on the lease was wrong...), so now it may be another week!  However, I went up yesterday and helped to interviews.  Have I mentioned I'm excited to work there?  It will be a nice change of pace, indeed.

Umm, Father's Day.  We went to church... :)  I had sharing time, and it went very well :)  Our ward did pie for the guys.  My parents also brought over a huge Costco apple pie for Matt on Saturday (unfortunately, I was working).  After church, we visited with my parents.  Then we headed home to collect the puppy and went the Matt's parents for dinner and visiting.  Mocha found the kittens outside.  They're growing up so fast!  One especially just sat and kept an eye on Mocha, even after she'd moved onto something else. lol  That night, I made cake and we watched more Deep Space 9 :)

I think that pretty much brings us up-to-date.
