Utah Activities Winter 2025

We have been able to do some fun activities the first few months of this year. In January, Wesley and I saw Kiss of the Spiderwoman at the Sundance Film Festival. It was very timely as Sundance is leaving Utah for Boulder in 2027. It might've been our last chance to go in Utah. In February, we went to Clark Planetarium and saw a dome theatre show while Jamie was in town. In March, Wesley and I saw Little Women at Hale Center Theatre. We're so lucky there's so much to do and explore in Utah.

7 Months

William is 7 months old and growing up so fast. He is so ready to crawl and can sit up on his own. He is eating baby food and babbling. There are still no signs of teeth yet. He is also having some sleep regression. I will update!

Spine Surgeon

A couple weeks ago I met with a spine surgeon about my back pain and scoliosis. It was definitely the most confusing doctor's appointment I've ever had. There was definitely a communication breakdown and I left with no good information and advice. He said my scoliosis was severe (60 degree curve) and I would need surgery, probably two in my lifetime. But then he essentially said there would never be a good time for me to have the surgery; not with a baby or older kids. Therefore, I should not have surgery, then he ended the appointment. It was very confusing and he didn't explain his reasoning. He didn't ask about my back pain or function. I definitely need a second opinion and will probably do the surgery after I have my second kid.

Kaitlin’s Bridal Shower

Kaitlin's bridal shower was on Saturday. It was a classy affair with a fancy spread. It was so nice to catch up with her and Jessica. We also got to talk to her cousins we knew at Utah State. She and her fiancee are getting married in Mexico in April and her open house is in May.

Educational Systems 2.0

I am retaking Educational Systems this term. I regret withdrawing from the course back in November and putting my course progress behind again. I have to give myself grace though because I was suffering from a bad bout of Covid and in a bad mental place. At least I have a majority of discussion posts done and know what to expect from the assignments.
