Baby Button has a Name...

We've finally decided on a name for our little boy.  We've been calling him Button for awhile now.  I've wanted to name him since we knew he was a boy and Josh wasn't ready.  I finally bugged him enough and he broke down and said we could decide!  Our little bundle of joy will be known as Grayson Thomas Reynolds.  Thomas comes from my dad whose first name is Thomas.  I'm sooo excited to be able to call him Grayson, or Gray, and know that that's his name.  I'll still call him Button too I think, I've become attached to that nickname.  I'm 30 weeks right now, so just 10 more weeks till we meet him.  I can't wait!  

Grace

One of my best friends and college roommate of 5 years is getting married this Friday!  I've know the beautiful, amazing Grace Waitt (soon to be Matthews) since my first day at BYU as a freshman living in the dorms.  She is the kindest, sweetest person ever. 

Here we are- such little, innocent freshman

 These next 3 are sophomore and/or junior year

Friends through it all!  No matter who else we lived with, she and I were always roommates :)

Now, she and Will are getting married in the Mt. Timpanogos temple in American Fork, Utah.  I love that temple, it's so beautiful.  If I had gotten married in Utah, that is the temple I would have chosen.  I'm so happy for them.  Eternal marriage is the only way!  

I'm so excited to be able to go out and see her and lots of my other college friends/roommates. It's going to be such a fun reunion to have us all together again.  Love you Gracie-lou!!!   I'm so happy to be coming out for your special day.  I wouldn't miss it for the world!


On a different and final note, here is my 29 weeks picture!

Pure Deliciousness

So I tasted my first-ever homemade strawberry freezer jam in the last year.  My amazing sister-in-law Jennilyn had some when we ate over there to go with rolls.  Oh my goodness... it was love at first bite!  I seriously could eat rolls and that jam every day.  Luckily she gave us some a couple times and another friend too, so we've been able to enjoy the special treat throughout this past year.  Well, I finally made some for myself!  I'd been bugging Jenn about a day to make some together for the past little while and we did it a couple days ago.  I was amazed that it wasn't very hard or complicated.  I cannot wait to have some of my very own now!  Maybe I'll go get some now...  Anyways, thanks Jenn for introducing me to this and helping me make some.  I will be forever grateful!

Here's how much I made, doesn't it look so good? I hope it lasts...
