Jennifer Comes to Visit

Jared and I had our second visitor from my side of the family come to Phoenix. Jennifer (my little sister) needed to use an airline ticket credit before it expired so she decided she would fly to Phoenix to see us. Jennifer didn't find out her airline credit expired until two days before the expiration date. She called me at work and said, "Hey Marcie...is it okay if I come and visit you ...tomorrow?" I was trilled! I ran over to my mangers desk and got Thursday and Friday off. 

 
It was a very fun visit. We had a blast! Jared dragged Jennifer and I to a baseball game and Jennifer and I dragged Jared to a Ballet in the Park. (OK so the baseball game was pretty fun.)

We also went shopping a few places and I had to take Jennifer to the unique cuisine here in Phoenix that you can't find in Idaho...In-N-Out and Paradise Bakery.

In-N-Out Burgers!!


This is the awesome In-N-Out employee that posed for us when he saw us taking pictures of our burgers.


Jennifer and Marcie shopping at Old Navy and no I didn't buy anything. Jared would be so proud!

Jennifer happened to come down the same weekend as my baby shower. That worked out so well. Speaking of the baby shower...thank you to everyone for the gifts. I feel very blessed to have so many wonderful friends. I was very touched by the generosity and love of all of my dear friends I have made here in Phoenix. THANK YOU!!! Our baby boy thanks you too.

Another weekend highlight was the Olympics that we threw together. Jared, Jennifer, and I went to the dollar store and picked out a bunch of games. Then we went home and made them into Olympic events. We had a memory matching game, a bubble blowing contest, a jump roping contest (I did participate in that one and did quite well for a pregnant lady). We also did a puzzle putting together contest and a dance competition. It was very fun. Now Jennifer knows how weird we really are. I also took Jennifer to a craft store and we made some cute jewelry...see for yourself...

All in all the five days that Jennifer was here were a blast. Jennifer thanks for coming to visit and for putting up with me! We loved having you! If anyone else wants to come visit I promise we will show you a great time!

Looks like lots of fun. I want to come, but not for about 15 months! You are a cute family and we've loved getting on and viewing your blog. Your grandma gave us your blog address so hope you don't mind.
We love our mission in Japan. We still can't speak much Japanese, but the people are wonderful, the country is beautiful and we love being part of the missionaries! Come see us!

You are looking big there Marcie! But don't count the eggs before they hatch, I went 8 days over with Julia and then I was induced on top of it all (30 hours of labor). I hope he does come earely though and that it is a FAST labor.
