Playing Catch Up....

Been quite a busy month, seriously don't even know where to begin, but here goes...

This has been quite a bitter-sweet past month. First of all, we had such a blast in England over Christmas break...hanging with Chris's relatives, exploring London, ate way too much English Chocolatey goodness, saw Wicked and Les Mis, spent new years eve in the famous Trafalga Square, never missed an opportunity to throw up on every train ride (this is me, of course), shopping in the BEST malls/stores EVER. period. I've decided England just has the U.S. one up on the whole fashion thing. Anyway, I loved every minute of England, the villages, and getting acquainted with my cute hubby's hometown for a couple of weeks! We LOVED hanging out with our favorite couple Chris's cousin Sam and his prego wife, Steph! It's a match made in heaven for the four of us, I'm thinking we must have done something right to have such great friends. I wish I would have snapped some more pictures, but I honestly was more focused on refraining from vomiting on everyone and everything around me.....not even joking. I've just been really blessed with the whole ENTIRE pregnancy sickness. That's ok, I know she's gonna be a cutie pie. Moving along...England was great, family was great, and the flight home was wonderful...business class for FREE is not too shabby, right?





































Next...Wedded Bliss! My older brother Austin was married to Megan Wade on January 23 in the Bountiful temple. The ceremony, breakfast, and reception were all beautiful....I just don't know how pregnant brides do that. I was pooped after the ceremony. They are unthawing from this cold weather in the carribean right now....what a hard life. Happy to have Meg in our family, she makes a HOTTTT wife for Austy...haha! But really, Austin needs a babysitter sometimes..... ; )

















































And finally...Called to Serve! Chris's younger brother Sam received his mission call to the California San Jose mission, leaving a quick two weeks later...this past Weds. Sam (or Samson as I like to call him)...is the best guy you will ever meet. A whopping 6'8 ft, but seriously a gentle giant. He would do ANYTHING for his family and friends and it was really hard to say goodbye to him. He is so protective of all of us ladies in the Munday family (and by all, I mean all THREE of us), amongst MANY, MANY boys. I've been going through Sam withdrawals. But believe me, the California San Jose mission will remember Elder Munday!










We've been able to spend lots of time with family over the course of the month and being as that is one of my favorite things,I'm quite happy. And thanks to my parents and sister for painting my nursery for me everything is finallycoming together. I'm excited to say there are only 2 1/2 LONG months left! A couple of weeks after she is born, we'll be moving to Virginia Beach again for the summer, so the craziness never stops for our family...but life is great! XOXO
