Baby Bump

I have had a few requests to post a picture of my pregnant stomach, so here you go. Don't mind the hair, it has been too hot to use a blow dryer, so most days it just gets to do whatever it wants.

It's a...

For anyone who doesn't know...we are having a boy! We have known for a while, I just haven't been into blogging. Anyways, we are way excited because we both secretly wanted our oldest to be a boy. I hadn't really felt one way or another about what I thought we were having but kind of wondered if it was a boy because the pregnancy has been pretty easy (besides for the whole not liking Cafe Rio thing).

The bookstore, what a ripoff!

I went to the university bookstore today to sell back my books and try to salvage some of the money I spent for them. This semester I spent $350 on books and the bookstore wanted to buy them back for $27. I was so shocked that I had to ask if that was a total. Then, to top it off, when I said that I would just keep them, the lady looked at me as if I had personally offended her. How rude!

We are in!

Wahoo! We are in! Actually we moved into the new house last Saturday, so thanks everyone for helping us move, it was a great birthday present. Pictures will be coming soon, I'm still trying to find things.

Big Announcements

We are buying a house!!! No, not this one, but close, just the Rose Park version. We are closing tomorrow and then will be moving as soon as possible (carrying things downstairs should be easier than it was going up).



And...we are having a BABY!!! Due: October 16th.

Mmm...Soup!

I have never made homemade soup before so this was big for me (but it turned out to be quite easy). Soup just sounded good and I found a recipe in my favorite cookbook "Fix-It and Enjoy-It" by Phyllis Pellman Good (same lady who does the Fix-It and Forget-It cookbooks for slow cookers) and despite not having gone grocery shopping for quite some time, I actually had all the ingredients (except for celery so I just left it out). But even without the celery it was very yummy.



I was in a hurry to get it finished before Sam left for work so I just moved things I was done with out of the way and now have a mess and yes, that is a Chinese food leftover box, but since I ate its contents for lunch it was serving as a small portable garbage.

Red Boots

These are the red boots Sam bought me for Christmas, I absolutely love them! I said I would post a picture, so here you go...
