Two More Weeks!!

It has been so crazy the last few months!! We are down to the wire on waiting for the baby to come. I'm 38 weeks now!! That means only TWO MORE WEEKS until Little Miss is here! Kurtis and I couldn't be more excited! I spent all day yesterday getting the baby's room ready, including setting up the monitor and making sure all the baby clothes have been washed. It was an emotional day, but it was so good!
There really isn't much else that is new for Kurtis and me. We still live in Brigham City, although we aren't sure how long that's going to last. With Kurtis working in North Ogden, we are strongly considering moving closer to his work. But I like our little apartment and I would be happy if we stayed here for a while.
We had yet another death in the family a few weeks ago, along with several other life-changing events. This time it was Kurtis's Gramps, who Kurtis looked up to like no other. His passing was and has been extremely difficult for the Crittenden family, and it's amazing to see the kind of legacy one man can leave on the world.
Kurtis's sister Courtney got married a few weeks ago also. Her wedding was beautiful, and it just made me keep thinking about how lucky I am to have married someone like Kurtis. He truly is one of a kind and I'm the luckiest girl alive to have him for a husband. This Little Miss is gonna be so lucky to have him as a dad, and I'm so excited to see him take on that role. He even made a blanket for them to use when they snuggle. (I'm not allowed to use it! haha It's just the "Daddy and Baby" blanket.)
Oh! We also bought a new car!! Because of Kurtis having to commute to work and he and I having conflicting work schedules, we decided it was time to get a second car. After several months of looking and saving, we were able to get a 1999 Ford Expedition, and Kurtis was just thrilled! He wanted some sort of truck, but we couldn't find one in our price range, so he was willing to settle with an SUV, and we got a really good deal on this one, so we got it. It is really nice and we love having it.
So that's it for today. Next time I write, we will have our little girl with us!! :)
