Memphis



OUR TRIP TO MEMPHIS, TN

I have the best In-Laws in the world! Trey took off May 22 or so to go to D.C. and Brooklyn and I went back to Chattanooga with Judy and Logan just joined them in everything they were up to - Including going up to Memphis for 5 days! Fred is now working there, and they will be moving there in August. Fred usually drives down to Chattanooga on the weekends. This week, we went up to see him. It was my first time ever being in Memphis or seeing the Mississippi, so that was fun!

We did a riverboat tour of the Mississippi. No Graceland this time, but I saw Sun Records and other landmarks as we drove around!
Swam at the Hotel pool.

Had great weather!

Ate Real Memphis BBQ - RIBS!

Brooklyn liked the Banana pudding best though.

We also got to see our dear friends the Gruwells - well, Melanie is now a Pitcher and Mellissa is a Hodgens (Check out their blogs - they are increidble!) But they are part of the incredilbe Gruwell family. The three of us met up with our 4 kids and went to a little fountain waterpark. Unfortunately I wasn't in much of a picture mood that day...
An aboslute highlight of my trip though, was seeing an angle on earth, Melanie and Mellissa's Sister Lindsey. Check out her blog and be inspired.
She is at the St. Jude Hospital in Memphis, fighting her third baught of Cancer. They just destroyed all of her bone marrow and took her sister Melissa's bone marrow and gave it to her! She is responding miraculously and seeing her was inspirational. She is so happy and upbeat I couldn't believe it! Well, read her blog if you hava a moment or need a pick-me-up!

Option for a Healthy Birth

I am not typically a big writer on my blog. I usually just post a few dozen photos of my adorable child and make little comments below. Well, I need some sort of outlet for all of my frustrations and thoughts and would love some feedback on them. As many of you know, I ended up getting a C-section with Brooklyn after planning on a completely natural birth with the help of Hypnosis. That is a whole nother story, and I wont' go into it, but I learned a lot about the what I want and need to have a healthy delivery. After extensive research into the process of birth, I know that it is possible for me to have a beautiful, natural birth and the things that that entails really aren't extreme and are in fact proven to be healthier choices for both me and my baby. (For our book group this month, we are reading "Gentle Birth Choices" by Barbara Harper, which is one of several books I have read on the topic and one that I would highly recommend - as well as the documenary ...

Washington D.C.

So I am finally getting around to catching up on the blog! My excuse for not blogging for months is that life has been insane - don't we all have that excuse though? Here is a brief description of mine though. Blogs to come. October 10th, Trey left for DC and I had a few days to get everything together for 3 weeks away. I decided to bottle a dozen or so bottles of Grapejuice, throw a dinner party etc. But soon we were off. We spent 11 amazing days in DC with our INCREDIBLE friends the Boeys. They were so hospitable and fun! (Adding to the fun and craziness of it all, My Sister Brooke and her family just happened to be there at the same time, and my BYU roommate Sariah and BFF from Childhood Kelly both live there) (SEE BLOG) Straight from D.C., we went to Georgia for 5 days to visit Trey's Grandparents. It was amazing and I will blog soon about that! Spent Halloween there As soon as I got home, my dear companion from Taiwan was in town, so I met up with her and 2 of my oth...
