Last night was the coolest. As Shalyn and I were going to bed we were just laying there. I decided to put my head on her stomach to feel the baby. Naomi was moving a lot. I felt her move her entire body to the right. It was pretty neat. And then, after she moved I could hear her heartbeat. She must have put her back right up against Shalyn's stomach. Her heart was beating about 140 per minute.
Shalyn was jealous :)

Sister Sarah Is a Married Woman!
This past weekend, June 3rd - June 7th, was the weekend Shalyn and I went down to St. Louis, MO for my sister Sarah's wedding. It was a very eventful few days. On Thursday we got everything ready and drove down to Salt Lake City in order to fly to St. Louis. We made in with time to spare and the flight was uneventful. It was a happy reunion with my dad at the airport. We learned that my mom and Sarah both werent feeling very well. Not fun, especially right before the wedding.
On Friday we got up and ate a wonderful breakfast of waffles and fruit. Dad, Scott (Sarah's husband), his brothers and me all went over to my parents' house where they are constructing this big second level. It looked really cool (I'll put pictures up as soon as I get a CF card reader). We then went to the farm to get everything set up for the reception. I got to mow the grass. :) Dad and I came home just in time to take a quick shower and be out the door to the temple for Sarah at 4:00p.m. After the temple we went to this restaurant, The Old Spaghetti Factory. It was pretty good. I must say though, I like Johnny Carino's better. The real excitement was after the restaurant when we realized that quite a few cars had been broken in to in the parking lot, to include a few from our group. At first we just thought that Shalyn's camera bag was at the house, but after looking everywhere and hearing that my sister had put it in the van that was broken in to, we concluded that the camera bag was stolen. Luckily the camera was with us in the restaurant, but the really nice lens along with the CF card reader and some other stuff was stolen. What a drag. But we tried to not let that put a damper on the wedding festivities.
On Saturday the big event took place. It was at 11:30a.m. She looked beautiful and he was handsome. After the ceremony my uncle John and myself went back to the farm to finish up what needed to be done. There was a lot more than we thought there was. We finished just as people were arriving for the reception. It started at 6:00p.m. I really enjoyed being able to see old friends. A lot of our friends from Tennessee came down to wish her a happy wedding. It was a really great time with dancing, S'mores, and a hay ride. The Fire Flies were incredible after the sun went down. It was like something right out of a Disney show. And the stars were amazing, very bright.
On Sunday we went to church and then just relaxed until 4:00p.m. when we went to the grandparents' house to decorate the cake for my dad's birthday. It was such a fun event. We had a couple friends from church over in the club house at the grandparents' apartment.

Yay! Today is Friday!
Today is Friday. We love Fridays. For one, I dont have any classes on Fridays. Today has been a special day though. Yesterday Shalyn drank this mixture that had 50 grams of glucose in it. That is a lot of sugar! The doctors were checking for gestational diabetes.
Well, she failed that test. The cap was 140 and her levels were at 144. So we had to come in today and she did the next level up test. She had to fast starting at 12 midnight last night. At 8:30 this morning she drank the same drink only this time it had 100 grams of glucose in it.
As she was drinking it she told me, "Why would anyone put this much sugar in their body?" At about half way she said her body was telling her that she was done. It didn't need anymore sugar. She downed the whole thing as fast as she could. And for the next three hours we had to stay at the doctors and get her finger pricked every hour.
After the first two prickings they told us that we could go home because she passed both of them. They didnt see a reason for her to stay around for the third prick. After that we had lunch at Quiznos. I tried one of their $5 subs. It was the honey-cured ham and Swiss and it was good!
There were these tents set up across the street next to Arby's so we decided to head over their and check in out. It was the National Guard doing a fundraiser for veterans. We bought some raffle tickets and put ours in the jar for the camping deluxe kit. Hopefully we'll win. The drawing is right now so if we do win we'll be receiving a phone call shortly. :)
Here are some pictures from the window fiasco we had a few weeks back at Cougar Court:
