Back in the Saddle Again







Here it is! A new post for everyone who doesn't read my blog. :0) However, I'm so ashamed that it's been 8 months, I don't blame anyone. Well, I'll do an update blog.

Since January, I had my 34th birthday and I still feel like I'm 28 (thank you mom and dad for good genes). But right after that, the bigger thing I discovered was that I was pregnant with our third child!! Probably many of you don't know this because we didn't really send out an email announcing anything. It's not that this one is any less than the others, but partly we were like "whoa" (it was a tiny surprise, but yes, we know how babies are made!) and partly because I was a bit anxious about my pregnancy. I'm not sure why, I was just scared something might go wrong. Crazy thoughts. I am now 33-1/2 weeks along and things are great. It's also pretty exciting because we're having a GIRL! So now, that you know, we'll keep you posted as things get closer to B-day on November 7.

Let's see, the spring was pretty calm, as I was nauseous a lot of the time and then we rolled into summer and started traveling. We went up to Canada for Don's birthday in June, I went to Atlanta for a girls' weekend with my college peeps. Then the first week in August, Don & I went to Sanibel Island, FL for a trip ALONE. His mom and brother watched the boys while we lounged along the beach. We were celebrating our 10th anniversary which happened on August 19. It was uber-relaxing.

Once we got back from that trip though, things started getting busy. We had some seminary friends visit, which was fabulous, then Don went to Honduras for a week, then we had some more wonderful friends arrive, then we went on "stay-cation" here at home and enjoyed that. Then, BAM! It's September and now we're into fall church stuff, I'm planning MOPS stuff, we're getting ready for baby, and we just had a most stupendous visit with some Cali-friends.

So that's pretty much the update. I will try to be better about this...truly. But I have been doing well with Facebook, so check me out on there too. But don't be surprised if, come November, none of that gets attention for a few weeks. :0)

*These most recent pictures are from when our friends, Tim & Dave were here. Since they're SoCal guys, we had to go apple-picking and to the county fair. It was great!
