A baby, funeral and wedding

Yes, I know I've been very bad about blogging lately but I promise to try and do better. Lots of things have happened since August so I'll recap and then give you more details below:
- My newest nephew was born August 26th
- My bestie had her bachelorette party and got married to a wonderful man
- We sold our house and moved to a new one
- We attended a funeral in Utah

First things first, my SIL opted for the correct way to have a kiddo and didn't find out the sex! She was induced on August 26th and after anxiously waiting all day, by BIL sent this cryptic text saying the baby was here but didn't say if it was a boy or girl. After a few more minutes, he came out to tell everyone in person that they had a BOY!!! Since it's been so long since I've posted, this precious boy is already 3 months old and going great. I know Little Man is going to love growing up with a boy cousin!

Next, we decided to put our house on the market for various reasons in early August and the weekend that my bestie had her bachelorette party, we got 2 offers. To celebrate the upcoming nuptials (and secretly celebrate our 2 offers), I proceeded to get rip-roaring drunk and ended the night (after watching a drag show at The Rose Room) by crawling into the hotel room. Needless to say, we all had a GREAT time; the next morning, however, was not great. 30 is hard.

This next part will be a little hard. Some of you might remember Husband's best friend, Kyler, from college. The word friend doesn't do justice when someone is closer than a brother. On September 17, 2011, Kyler Hal Hansen was killed in a car accident in Utah. Words cannot describe the pain Kyler's death has brought to everyone who loved him. He has left a hole that will never be filled and a sadness that washes over your entire body at the most unexpected times. I'm having a hard time putting my thoughts on paper with this one so I'll leave you with a memory from SIL's wedding.
