Car/Kentucky/Powell


Sad day at the Heward household. It was our last day with our beloved Audi. That car was my little baby and I loved every thing about it. But who would know it costs an arm and leg to insure and a car seat is not going to fit too well in that small back seat. Even though my dear kind husband let me go get the SUV I wanted it still makes me sad for it to leave.

So lots and lots to blog about tonight. First, yes new car. So exciting for us. We love it or at least I do! The best part about it is I found it and bought it all while my hubby was in Texas so he never actually saw it till he was home and the purchase was a done deal. That's how I know he reallly loves me. Ha

Lind and I have been busy busy these last months getting orders out and getting ready for the baby show in Kentucky. We also got the opportunity to meet with Deseret book a couple weeks ago and they are going to carry our magnet boards. Pretty stoked about that one.

 Kentucky was fun and a good time for sure. We got to go out with our dear sweet mother and our booth was right behind theirs. The best part of the baby show though was all the baby stuff. FOR WHOLESALE! Yay for Chad and I. I got my bedding, crib, dresser, car seat, and lots more. I had bought my stroller out in South Carolina and we had waited on the car seat because it was as much as the stroller and then at the show I bought my car seat for $130 where at buy buy baby it was $300. Steal of deals everywhere. The best though was I found my crib I wanted but chose not to get the matching dresser. The dresser was $299 wholesale and I thought I could find something else. The last day the company I bought my crib from came and asked if I was sure I didn’t want the dresser and I told them ya I was going to look for something else. They told me they would give me a good deal and so I asked what a good deal was. They did the dresser and changing bed that was on top of it for 50 bucks. Just so they wouldn’t have to pack it up. Ya baby! This was after they threw in the mattress and bedding that was in the crib just for the heck of it. Too bad it was boy bedding but still. Just was in heaven.

Chady got home from his extension in Texas last Sunday. He had a really successful few weeks out there. I’m so proud of him and how amazing he is and how hard he works for us! He had a goal with his manager for the few weeks he was out there and hit it so we got to go get him a big ol 55’’ TV today. Thank you capital alarm. 

This weekend we had a Lake Powell trip with a few of the people we sold with this summer. Even being 7 months prego it was still a good time! We stayed in an amazing houseboat that Katy Perry was actually on the week before. Ya I know, soo cool! Haha The weather was perfect and I really think the water was glass all day every day. And we got to play the pregnancy card and get a big nice bed to sleep on. It would have been the most perfect Lake Powell trip in history if right when we were pulling into the marina Chad’s manager/my cousin didn't drop his keys in the freaking lake. Ha making it impossible to pull the boat out of the water or get him and his family home from Powell. Luckily they can just like make a key in an hour. Really shocking and weird and kind of creepy but we were already fighting day light before this happened bringing the houseboat in so once the key was made and we had to pull the boat around to load it, It was pitch black and Chad and I were driving it. So scary especially since the only light we had was a headlight. I kept thinking we would for sure hit the mountain or something.






We are finally home though and it feels oh so good! We loved conference and watching it together. We had family pictures yesterday afternoon with Chad’s fam so those will be fun to see in a couple weeks. Minus my big belly.

We are definitely on the countdown for this baby. We have this month, next month, and then she is hear. Holy holy I can’t even believe it! I’ve got the joy of heartburn all day everyday, I feel like her foot is stuck in my right ribs and I never knew I could look so large and in charge.

Chady leaves me again to Arizona for some meetings so back to Richfield I go. I hate being home alone. At least it’ll only be for a couple days this time. I think we will start the nursery soon so hopefully I can blog about that next! ........Wish I had more pictures. :(
