I can't believe it's been a month since I last posted. July and August have flown by, and the mornings here are seeming more and more like Fall. Just the other day I was telling Spencer that it smells like Halloween outside. (I'm weird, but it did.)
A few summer highlights:
-I turned 26 last month and I got a new Hobo handbag for my birthday. Yeah!
-Spencer and I and Nate and Julie went backpacking a few weekends ago and had a blast. It was fun to be camping again, it's always been one of my favorite Frederiksen past-times.
-I'm finally into my second trimester, about 17 weeks already! I'm feeling really good, just a little rounder, and embracing elastic pants whole heartedly. I'm not nearly as tired as I was in the beginning and I'm so grateful because...
-Photography has been crazy busy. Exhausting, and wonderful all at the same time. (My biggest excuse for neglecting the blog.)
-I photographed two weddings in August, one in Boise, as well as senior photos about every weekday. It feels overwhelming right now since I'm working during the day too, but I think it will slow down a bit since school has started and I'll be grateful to have the daytime work.
-While I was in Boise, Mom, Dad, Tanner and I went to the Idaho State Fair. I used to go every year as a kid and I loved it. It was fun to be back and it brought back so many memories of Katie, Alisa and I: Working the hot dog stand at Les Bois, Trying to break the record for the number of backflips on the zipper, and those wonderfully disgusting "pound-o-fries" at the Jones booth. Yes, a whole pound.
-Spencer is making some great connections with the job hunt, and we're hopeful that he'll find something great...sooner rather than later. We're definitely being blessed along the way.
-We have our next Dr.'s appointment on Tuesday, and our 20 week ultrasound is scheduled for September 19th. A lot of people have asked what gender we think is, and honestly, I haven't had any strong premonitions one way or the other, is that weird? I'm just grateful to have a healthy baby so far, and hope it will continue to be so.
Thanks to everyone that checked in on us. Yes, we are alive and well, we've just had a busy couple of months.
