In Case You Haven't Heard....

We Are Expecting!

I thought my due date was going to be October 15.  But the ultrasound showed later:(  So we're going with October 23 now.  Not as far as I thought but oh well I guess!

I haven't been feeling too bad.  Not great, but it could be a lot worse.  I was definitely more sick with Summer.  Maybe it's a boy?  Or maybe I'm just not as sick this time.

Danny's sister is due about two months before me and my brother's wife is due about two weeks before me!  That part is super fun because for so long it seemed like there wouldn't be any cousins on my side of the family that would be the same age.  So we're pretty excited about that:)

Summer and the new baby will be 17 months apart.  Doable but busy!  Actually I probably have NO IDEA how busy it will be.  But we will survive!

A Journey To My Homeland

Every so often I start getting that antsy feeling where I know that it's TIME for me to go home for awhile.  The time had come.  It started off with a "let's meet halfway" lunch with some of my nearest and dearest friends.  I rode back to IL with them and had a few extra days to be there than I had originally planned which was great!  Danny came out after work on Friday to join the fun:)

We met at The Homestead and just had the best time talking and laughing and catching up.  It's possible we were the loudest ones in the restaurant.

The next few days were spent having some quality time with my family and helping my brother and his family move into their new house!  My nephew took his job of digging in the dirt very very seriously.  It's important work, you know!!

This girl.  Squeezed into the van filled with things to move.  She looks so grown up!  Oh wait- she is grown up.

I loved every minute of my time out there.  It was just what I needed.  I do love my family!

Happy Anny To Us!!

March 2 marked a whopping two years for us!  It was a Wednesday night though, so we celebrated by having a tasty supper at home and going to church:)  But Friday we went out on the town!  Kind of.  I mean, we were almost at the restaurant early enough to get the early bird menu and when we got home is when people who truly "go out on the town" were most likely just leaving.  But it worked for us!

We ate at Black Canyon for supper which might just be my new favorite!  We both really liked it.

Then it was off to the ice rink!  We've been talking about going ice skating since we got engaged and it finally happened.  Danny grew up skating on the family pond and he's pretty good.  Me?  Well, we'll just say I'm not the worst one on the rink and leave it at that.

I love you, honey and I love the two years we've had together.  Can't wait to see what year number three brings!
