The Rasmussens: Reunification

On the 10th of June, Amy and I had the great privilege of having Annie and Neal, with their little Joseph, over at our house for a little party with many of Annie's old friends, who also happen to be Amy's friends. Corey Clawson, Nic Maughan, Emily and Marc Muir, Shelby Riggs, David Atkin, and Amy's sisters Rachel and April were in all in attendance! It was a fun get together as many of Annie's friends were able to catch up on each others lives. We played Apples to Apples with Nic as being funny and jovial as ever.

We all were just so excited and happy to see Annie and Neal make it out to Utah from North Carolina and especially so since they had a very booked 2 weekend reunion with family and friends. Little Joseph was certainly as cute and handsome as he was in the pictures sent from North Carolina over the internet and Skype. It was really good for Amy to get some sister-time in with Annie.

Amy and I were able to watch the much-anticipated Disney/Pixar movie UP with Annie, Neal, Willie, Rachel and April. We went to the 3-D version; it was an awesome movie but both Amy and I agreed that we'd like to see it someday in regular "2-D".

Amy here: I cried at the beginning of this movie. It is the best Pixar yet! Definitely one to buy when it comes out on DVD.

Yesterday we said our goodbyes to my beloved sister Annie and awesome brother-in-law Neal before they took off for the SLC airport to head back home to North Carolina. It was so good to see them the little that we did. I wish that they didn't live so far away! It was especially helpful to have support at the hardest waiting period of the pregnancy, when everything is ready to go but I still have to wait. I enjoyed holding sweet Joseph, living proof that pregnancy DOES end some day. Hopefully our next post will have pictures of our little Ethan in it.
