We're Leaving on a Jet Plane

So it's official. We have purchased our tickets and we are coming home to Utah for 3 1/2 weeks in June and July. We are so excited. It's nice to know that we are actually going home, but now we just have to wait for 4 months. Oh well. It will have been a year since we've seen most of our family and so it will be a great trip. It's amazing how much people change, mostly the nieces and nephews so we will be excited to see them and show off our new little one. Our baby will be 2 months by then and Jackie will be having her baby anytime before we get there. We are coming out June 18th-July 13th. We have some fun family campouts to go to , as well as just relaxing and having fun. It will be a nice break. The only thing that makes me nervous is leaving our silly cat. I'm sure she will be happy to have the crying baby out of the house, but I'll still worry about her. We are probably just going to have some youth in our ward cat sit for us. Oh, the joys of having pets. We saw Bolt over the weekend and it was a really cute show. We really enjoyed it. Mike has now decided that we need a dog.:) This will probably not become a reality for a few more years, when we actually get into a house. I think we'll have our hands full until then. So we can't wait to see you all in 4 months.:) (Thanks again Heidi for your help.)

Just a little bit of Random

So this post is for my sister Kim who is anxiously awaiting a new installment of our lives. The only problem is that I really have no idea what to write about and so this may be just a bunch of random thoughts. First off, for those of you who like to watch American Idol, Mike and I are totally in love with Danny Gokey. He has such a good and unique voice. We're pretty sure that he will go far, but I guess we'll have to see. Mike has a class until 10:00 p.m. on Tuesdays and so my nighttime lineup has consisted of the Biggest Loser and American Idol. I think I will need to start a new book so that I don't get to much t.v. watchin in.

So I finished the "Twilight" saga in a week and a half. It was o.k.. It's funny because I wasn't really "loving" them while I was reading them, but I was obviously obsessed with finishing them. It was so frustrating because I tend to have some OCD in certain areas and "finishing" things is one of them. I hate to start something and not finish it, so hence why I read all the books so fast. My poor husband never talked to me and so it was a relief to finally get it over with. I think I will not read a series in awhile for that exact reason. Of course after reading the series I had to go and see the movie again so I guess I enjoyed it enough.:)

We have another ultrasound on Friday which will be nice. It is always fun to see the baby and it helps me not get too worried that something is going wrong. Hopefully everything will be o.k.. I'm still trying to get Mike to write a post about everything that he is doing this quarter, but he is super busy and so it might be awhile. He just has a lot of classes, and is trying to do research on top of it. He's a pretty hard worker though and likes to get things done far in advance, which is unlike me who usually does everything last minute. I must learn from him. Well, that's enough randomness for one day. Sorry if this post was totally boring. We'll come up with something good soon though.

28 Weeks and Counting

So here's the most recent belly shot. I'm getting a little bit bigger, but I keep getting shocked comments when people find out I am due in April. I am just waiting to poke out any day now. (Any day now.....) She is sure moving a lot more and it is fun when Mike is able to feel her as well. It is a crazy feeling when she turns all the way around. Work is going pretty good, but I am definitely getting anxious to be done. I will miss the kids though, sometimes.:)

Mike has a crazy quarter right now. He decided to overload himself this quarter so that when the baby comes it will be a lighter load. He is working pretty hard and trying to stay on top of everything so that it doesn't get too overwhelming. His research is also starting to progress which is great as well. We are sure being blessed and are thankful for the hand of the Lord in our lives.
