Long Time, No Blog

Well, I realize it's been forever since my last blog... baby or otherwise. But I've been busy and tired. By the time I get home, I don't even have the energy to think enough to write a blog! But life here has been good... so it's been a good busy.

On the church front, we had Young Christian's Weekend, which is always one of the best weekends of the year. It's one of our favorite youth trips all year. I forgot my camera, so I don't have any pictures, which is a major bummer. But we did have a great time. Because of the whole baby thing, I couldn't ride any of the rides, so I mostly shopped and ate and walked around. Josh did ride a couple of rides, including Powder Keg. Apparently, he forgot to listen to the "Please remove all loose articles' speech, and he left his cell phone in his pocket. Well, as the man running the ride said (after Josh told him he'd lost his cell) "At 65 mph, EVERYTHING falls out." So, after taking his information and promising to "mail the pieces," we were pretty bummed for the rest of the day. BUT, God is awesome, and the next day when we went back just to check, they had not only found the phone, but it was still on and didn't have a scratch on it! So we were pretty excited, and Josh got to (loudly) tell how awesome God is to our youth in front of tons of people. So that was cool, and everyone made it home from the trip alive, so we count that as a victory. I am going to miss riding rides this year, though... I couldn't even go across the wobbly bridge!

Speaking of babies... on the baby front there have been several firsts... I bought (and wore) my first maternity clothes. I bought a couple pairs of capris to wear to YCW. They were pretty hot, since they come up to about my armpits. I bought underbelly ones, but since I don't have much of a belly, they ride a little high! Ruth was thrilled to be seen with me! Of course, since then, we've been breaking records for cold in April, so I can't wear my capris, and I'm running dangerously low on warm clothes that fit! So I also had my first wearing of Josh's clothes to school, AND my first day of leaving my pants unbuttoned and keeping them up with a belt and a rubber band! Isn't pregnancy grand?! :) Besides clothing issues, I am actually enjoying pregnancy right now. I wish I looked a little more pregnant, I want to be cute and pregnant, but I do get to eat almost anything I want, and I don't throw up (much). I'm not really sick anymore, but if I get gagged by something, it's no pretty. Josh and I are both enjoying the ride, though! :)

And, to add to the changes we're making, we have set a closing date for our house, and we are signing the contract on Sunday. We're buying the house from friends of our's from church, so it's been pretty easy. And we're getting a good deal. I love the house, I actually lived in it in college, so I'm very excited. Once we get a fence built for the dog, it'll be perfect! But it's such a huge change, and there are a lot of changes going on right about now!

Anyway, that's the update on our lives... I'll try to blog more frequently, and I'm sure I will next week, I have a doctors appointment and a trip to Texas!
