<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was 37 weeks 6 days pregnant on December 20, 2017. I woke up feeling the same way I had for the past few weeks. Exhausted and so done. I had started to gradually dilate starting at 36 weeks and it was starting to be very uncomfortable. I went in for a doctors appointment that morning. I had to have a stress test and ultrasound that day due to my placenta condition to track the babies growth. Everything looked great as usual. Baby was estimated to be just under 8 lbs and looked great. During my stress test my doctor realized when she saw the results that I was having consistent and fairly strong contractions. She asked me if I could feel them. I thought that I had maybe been having contractions the last couple days but thought they were probably Braxton hicks. I asked my doctor several times during the visit what all this meant and she told me repeatedly that everyone was so different only time would tell.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the way to pick up Kade from our dear friends house I called Marshall and my Mom to tell them what the news at the doctor was. I then downloaded an app to track my contractions because I was terrified of not knowing when to go to the hospital. With Kade my water broke so I knew exactly when to go, and I was seriously terrified of not knowing what to expect with this little girl. As the day went on I was having fairly consistent contractions but felt like they weren't progressing very quickly or much at all. I was feeling completely defeated and frustrated. I was so annoyed and irritable with everything. I remember trying so hard to be patient with Kade. The unknown and not having a plan is hard for me. Kade and I continued to try to get along, keep busy and just distract myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then Marshall got home from work around 5:30 and we decided to go and get some Chinese food for dinner to keep busy. The Chinese food was delicious and my contractions seemed to be getting a little bit closer together. They weren't painful yet but they were a little bit uncomfortable. I called my Mom and we talked for a bit about everything. I was still trying to not get my hopes up because I really didn't think this baby was coming yet. I then called my dear friend who was going to take Kade when I went into labor. I told her what was going on and we set a plan in place for if I did go to the hospital. This whole time I was still keeping track of my contractions on my app. Then around 9:00 pm my app told me it was time to go to the hospital. I was shocked. I did not feel like I had progressed enough at all (I am so grateful for this app, otherwise I would not have gone in for a long time). I called my mom and friend again, and within about 45 minutes we were headed to the hospital.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the way to the hospital I think I told Marshall twenty times that this was stupid and they were just going to send us home. So we got to the hospital and within about fifteen minutes or so I was admitted. The nurse had checked me and I was dilated to a 6. I was in complete shock. Yes again lol. I couldn't believe I was already that far along. So they called my doctor and things got started. I got my epidural which slowed my progress down a bit. We decided to all take a nap and let me progress gradually and not force it. Around 5 am I woke up to my water leaking and breaking and I started to feel the urge to push. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then around 6:30 am London Allen Morrison came into this world weighing 7 pounds 15 ounces. She instantly showed Marshall, Kade and I how much more love all of our hearts were capable of.</div>

It is a day where we not only treat our bellies but our spirits and minds. Sunday is my favorite day of the week and a treat just makes it that much better. Today was especially great because not only did Kade sleep in till 8:30 (it was ahhhhmazing. yes mind blowing) but Kade was so happy and awesome. Church can be rough with Kade at moments but today was one of the best we have had in a long time. Then while at home he just played, talked, and loved life all day. Kade and Marshall played football, we sang Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes and played with cars. Sundays are my favorite day of the week because it is a day that is all about family, rest, and God. Being able to have a Sunday once a week prepares me to be able to take on whatever the rest of the week is going to bring. It is my rebooting day. I just LOVE it!<br />
<br />
Now for the Treat Yo Self treat. This week we tried recipe from Cooking Classy called Old Fashioned Ultra Chewy Brownie with Cream Cheese Frosty (yeah a little bit of a mouthful). These are perfectly chewy and sweet with ahhmazing frosting! These did not disappoint. Marshall and I ate them while we watched this last weeks episode of Fixer Upper. I would highly suggest eating them in this same fashion as well. Enjoy!<br />

Add in half of the flour mixture and mix just until combine, add in milk and mix just until combine, then add remaining flour mixture and mix just until combine (batter will be very thick). Pour batter into a buttered 8x8 baking dish and spread into an even layer. Bake in preheated oven 40 - 45 minutes(I only did 38 minus and they were perfect) until center is nearly set.

When Marshall and I first got married the plan was always to someday try to make it back to Washington if we could, but we tried to not jinx ourselves by over thinking or talking about it. But every time I would go home to visit my family the over thinking and talking about it would come back. Then it would fade and essentially became this cycle of I want to live in Washington so bad then to but I love my life in Idaho. Yeah I'm cray cray I know. In the back of my head I honestly thought we were going to live in Idaho forever. I just felt like that was what was going to happen and that I needed to accept that Washington just might not be in our future. I came to accepted that and was happy!<br />
<br />
Then life happens. After submitting many applications to this company Marshall has wanted to work for a couple of years they offer him a job. We were both in such shock that we both just literally sat on the couch for almost a half hour without speaking. Then Marshall was instantly psyched for it and ready to go. While I was sitting on the couch trying to hold back tears. All of sudden this 7 year long life in Idaho was going to be horribly hard to leave. Idaho was where we both graduated from college, fell in love, started our careers, semi-fully became grown ups, had our first child, and grew up more as people than any other time period in our lives. What was wrong with me? This is what I wanted our entire married life. To move closer to my family. Have Marshall have a job that he will love and can grow in. Why is change so ridiculously hard?<br />
<br />
I never really intended on having Marshall not take the job offer but it did cross my mind. The idea of it all was just harder than I expected. We ended up saying goodbye to our life in Idaho three short weeks later. Both Marshall and I worked up until the last few days before the big move. Those three weeks went by too fast and not fast enough all at once. Southeast Idaho will always hold such a special place in our hearts. It holds many memories very dear to me. I'm sure that his new chapter in our lives will prove to be just as important as the last. While talking with a friend a few days before leaving I was telling her that one of my favorite quotes is roughly if your not moving forward your moving backwards. Moving to Washington is moving forward for our family. I am so excited(most of the time) that we made this decision and have been given this oppurtunity. So I'm going to try to take my own advice. Here is to embracing the new, change, and growth. <br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was about 39 weeks pregnant on April 11th, 2015 when I woke up having very mild consistent contractions. It was a Saturday and I had gotten up around 7 AM as usual because sleeping in was something that happened very seldom at this point in pregnancy. I thought it might be contractions but didn't want get myself over excited if it wasn't. I called my Mom and talked to her about what contractions felt like again for the 100th time(I called her a lot the last month of pregnancy). I then called the hospital to tell them what was happening, and asked what I should do if they continued or progressed. They told me to go about my day as normal, and to be patient. I then decided to take a shower and get ready for the day to keep myself busy and not focus on whether or not this was really happening. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Marshall and I then headed out the door to go grocery shopping for the week. We headed to Sam's Club. I went and got the few things that we needed while Marshall got us hot dogs for lunch. We got through the store and checked out. While Marshall was finishing loading up the car I took the cart back when I all of sudden I felt a huge gush of warm liquid run down my legs. I instantly yelled for Marshall. I started to walk back over to the car when another huge gush started running down my legs. I just looked at Marshall and started crying and said frantically "my water broke!". Luckily we had some blankets and stuff in the car for me to sit on. We got in the car, and Marshall helped me calm down so I could call the hospital. I called the hospital, and they told me to go home and get my things together then to head on over. We went home and Marshall packed the car while I changed and got a little bit cleaned up. We then headed to the hospital. I had decided to still deliver at Madison Memorial Hospital even though we moved to Idaho Falls because I didn't want to switch doctors. So we had a half hour drive. At this point my contractions hadn't been to bad, but on the way to the hospital they started to get a little more intense. I was starting to have to focus on being calm and breathing through them when they hit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We got to the hospital around 1 PM, and I expected there to be tons of women having babies because it was in Rexburg, but I was only their second person admitted that day. It was nice and calm, and they got me all hooked up and ready to go. The nurse checked me and said that my doctor wanted me to be a tiny bit more dilated before I could have my epidermal. They then started me on pitocin and within twenty minutes they called for the anesthesiologists. Within the 30 minutes it took for him to come I had gone from a 5 to an 9 and I was feeling it. I was having my contractions in my back and I wanted the drugs, and I wanted them now. Marshall and the nurse applied pressure on my lower back to help counter act the pain but it was still rough. Then the anesthesiologists gave me my epidermal and everything was right in the world again. I think I told the anesthesiologists that I loved him multiple times. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Within another 30 minutes I was at a 10, but the babies head was turned and we needed to wait for him to come down a bit. I took about an hour long nap, and then started to push. The nurse and doctor told me to expect to push between an hour and half to three hours because it was my first. That seemed like forever when they told me. We then started to push, and Marshall helped me count and kept track of my contractions on the monitor. Marshall was amazing throughout the entire thing. He was so calm and supportive(without being too supportive and annoying), and helped in all the right ways. Two hours later Kade Linford Morrison was born at 8:40 PM weighing in at 7 lbs and 9 ounces and 21 inches in length. When they layed him on my chest I have never been so overwhelmed with love in my entire life. It was so instant and strong. </div>

I think the fact that a tiny baby that Marshall and I created(so weird) and will be responsible for is going to be here in three and half short months is starting to settle in a little more for me. When I tell people that I am pregnant or have a conversation about being pregnant with someone after the conversation I'm usually like "oh yeah this is crazy" to myself. But it is starting to become a little more real. Yes it is terrifying, but way more exciting to us than terrifying. Our lives will never be the same and we both think that is a good thing. </div>

Over Labor Day Weekend Marshall and I camped at Glacier National Park. I have seen pictures and heard people talk about how beautiful it is and let me tell you there is nothing like experiencing it. I have never been anywhere so beautiful. Our campground was right on Lake McDonald which has some of the most blue water I have ever seen. We drove the Driving-To-The-Sun Road and it was the most amazing 40 miles I have ever driven. I could go on and on about everything and how beautiful it all was, but then we would have a book and not a blog post. If you ever have the opportunity to go to Glacier National Park do! It is amazing! </div>

As summer is coming to and end I am finally getting around to blogging about some of our adventures. In July we hiked Table Mountain in the Tetons. And, yeah it was definitely a hike. It was 14 miles round trip, and the hardest and most rewarding thing I have done physically. The Tetons are absolutely beautiful though.
The whole hike up to the summit was amazing(the pictures speak for themselves). I hope that if we stay in Idaho we can make hiking Table Mountain an annual adventure. </div>

Still loving Gold as much as ever // Went to Washington for a Visit // Marshall holding his sign as he watched his beloved Bulls play // Us at the Bulls game. It was pretty awesome // The sweetest note ever from my niece // I left my old job:( // For an awesome new job:) Some decorations in my new office // Spring on Temple Square. So pretty // Spring has hit Idaho YAY. Or at least it has temporarily</div>

If you have read the title of my blog it probably will not come as a surprise to you, but I absolutely LOVE lemons. Oh they are the perfect tanginess and flavor and just everything. When Marshall told me that he didn't care what kind of cake he had for his birthday I set out to find a new lemony deliciousness recipe. When I came across this Meyer Lemon Iced Raspberry Yogurt Cake I knew I had found something good. Let's just say we ended up thoroughly enjoying it!</div>

I could try to list every excuse in the book from I have been crazy busy to there have been a lot of changes in our lives, but those don't change the fact that I didn't blog. I am going to try to rededicate myself to blog more regularly. Fingers crossed I can stay dedicated.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now on to our getaway. For the past few years, Marshall and I have gone to Washington to visit family in-between semester, but this year with my new job I didn't feel comfortable leaving for that long. We were both in desperate need of some down time, even if it was just a few days. We also used Marshall's birthday being this week as a good excuse to spoil ourselves for a few days. We thought that Park City would hit the spot, and did it ever! Marshall and I had only both been to Park City once before, and they were very short trips, so it was like our first time there for both of us. We stayed in Marriott Mountainside Resort and it was awesome. We are lucky enough that Marshall has a really good friend who works for Marriott and he always hooks us up with great deals. We spent every afternoon and night by the pool or in one of the several hot tubs, roasted marshmallows over the fire pits, slept in every morning in one of the most comfortable beds ever, and enjoyed every second we spent at the resort. </div>

We also ate our body weight in food. Park City has so many amazing restaurants it made it really hard to pick where to go. We had some incredible thin crust pizza at Maxwells and some amazing speciality dishes at Bistro. The dishes at Bistro might have been some of the best food my mouth has encountered. My mouth is starting to water as we speak. </div>

Neither Marshall or I are into snowboarding or anything to do with snow for that matter. However, we did get our adventure on with the Alpine Coaster. Its a toboggan style car that carries you to the top of the mountain then sends you down with lots of twists and turns. It was awesome and a way to have fun in the snow without having to get in the snow. Just the way we like it. </div>

On the way home we stopped in Salt Lake to hit up some of our favorite stores and go to Temple Square. I had never been to Temple Square during Spring before and it was beautiful. There were flowers and blossoms everywhere. It was so pretty and distracting, we were not very good about taking pictures. It was a good way to end our trip before our drive home back to reality. </div>

As most of you all know if you read my blog, are friends with Marshall on facebook, follow of any Marshall's social media accounts, or have met and talked with him for more than two minutes he loves the Bulls and he loves loves loves Derrick Rose. Derrick's birthday was the beginning of this month, and last year Marshall begged for the two of us to celebrate his birthday and we did so now I guess it is tradition because we did this year as well. Last year we made red velvet cinnamon rolls(obviously because they look like Roses and are red for the Bulls), but this year Marshall wanted something a little bit more traditional Triple Chocolate Cake(Marshall calls is Holy Jesus Experience). So I made cake and we celebrated Derrick Rose's 25th birthday. Now I know to some of you this may sound so absurd or crazy, but I think its little things like this that make marriages and relationship awesome. Did I know really anything about basketball, the Bulls, or Derrick Rose before I met Marshall. No, I most certainly did not but its important to him, and so I respect that in his life and listen. Marriage and relationships are all about give and take. Marshall didn't know anything about sewing, crafts, the Kardashians or cooking before he met me, and now he does because he knows its important to me. I have always known that marriage and relationships are about working with and respecting each other, but I guess that I'm realizing its the little things that make it that much better like me making a cake once a year to celebrate an important day for Marshall, or Marshall giving his opinion about the dress I'm sewing or who just got kicked off of Project Runway. Happy belated birthday Derrick Rose and Happy relationships to everyone!</div>

Marshall has quite the long list of favorite sports team, and one of the latest additions is the Montana Grizzlies football team. Marshall really likes classic teams who are all about tradition, and Montana is all about tradition. Every year the Griz honors the best defensive player that is from Montana with the number 37, and for the last two years Jordan Tripp has been honored with the number. Jordan Tripp is one of Marshall's favorite players of the team, and he decided to draw a picture of him one night. Marshall has always loved to draw, and just gets better and better with time. A lot of people don't know that Marshall is an amazing artist and I have always considered it one of his hidden talents. When Marshall got done drawing the picture of Jordan Tripp he put it on instagram and tagged Jordan Tripp in it not expecting any sort of response or communication. Then in the words of Marshall "his whole life was made!" Jordan Tripp not only respond to the drawing, but reposted it on his instagram and facebook, and praised Marshall for his amazing art. Then to top it off Trumaine Johnson, a starting defensive back for the Saint Louis Rams and former Griz player, commented and liked Marshall's drawing. I'm glad that someone besides me recognized and enjoyed Marshall's art. So proud of my hubs!</div>
