Our Growing Family!

As most everyone knows, by now, we have a baby on the way! A baby boy to be exact! Due May 11, 2009!!

I have been doing really good since we found out about this, (especially since we were fortunate enough to find out on our 1st visit what the baby would be (because I was already at 15 weeks)) on being calm and collected, not shopping, and not telling everyone I see, but, I can't do it anymore, it is killing me!!

Everyone has started to get really excited as well, and we have been getting a few gifts here and there already. Because of this, I have decided that tomorrow, when we go Christmas shopping, even though it is really has nothing to do with Christmas, that I am going to do some baby shopping!!

I even plan to get the stuff to start his baby book, because we have pictures and cards and things that need to find a home, (and maybe because I am not repressing my excitement anymore!)!!

So as I sit here at my desk, and find my mind straying from my work, I am looking at baby stuff.

I have a doctor's appointment on Monday, and they should do another sonogram. More pictures!! My poor sister hopes that he will magically become a girl, yeah right!! Little boys are more fun!

Well, the excitment must subside for now, as I need to get back to work!!!

CHRISTMAS!!!

My FAVORITE time of the year is here!!!

With any luck on Sunday we can go to the Christmas Tree Farm and get our tree. I want to decorate and get the house ready!!!

Now, I know this is not the point of Christmas, and that gifts aren't either, but I do love it!

This year, presents aren't going to be the same. Last year we bought for everyone, well everyone, not this year. It is not so much that there is a real reason for this, other than I don't know what to get anyone.

Everyone I know, has everything that they need or want, and if not they just go and buy it. That is what bothers me the most. This time of year, that is not ok, and it leaves poor simple minded people like me LOST for ideas...

This is not what Christmas is to be about, so this year it is going to be all about being together, presents or not...

Now, lets just hope for some snow!!!

Holidays are here!!

Ok, on a lighter note, the holidays are here!! I LOVE this time of year, and I can't wait to decorate, and even for some snow!!

Nick doesn't really like it, but oh well!

These next few months are about family and friends, and of course some food, so make sure you can enjoy it all!

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season, and of course a Happy Thanksgiving!!

The End is Near???

Well boys, it happend.

Obama is the President.......

I knew that is how it would be, but he still wasn't going to get my vote, and, I am glad that this is a Republican state, and he did not get our votes as well.

For those of you who voted for him, I hope your morals are worth it, and I think you might want to start going to church.

And, for the record, I wish he was purple, so everyone could say that it didn't matter and that be the honest truth about it.................

Getting Better

Ok, well I have been a bit overwhelmed off and on this semester, but it is over, at least until December. We are finished traveling. This does mean that I have to buckle down on school, and my house, but I would like to thank all who have helped thus far, my in-laws, Doug and Kim, were gracious enough to poor concrete outside of all of our doors and a patio!! It is beautiful and very welcoming! My mother also helped me paint all of my doors--finally, and WOW! It is amazing what you can do with a gallon or two of paint, they are also beautiful, and with all of this we are that much closer to having a finished home....we will see what we can accomplish this winter.....well at least everything is moving in the right direction and getting better...

thanks again
