Shining Moment

Totally worth it.

Guess Who

Love em.

Breath 2, 3, 4...

What's Happening:

1. Childbirth Prep Classes - I wanted to take these to learn everything I could before the big day. We've really enjoyed them. Last night Jordan got to put on the "empathy belly", 30 lbs of pregnancy and get a little taste of what it's like (I won't embarrass him with the photos that I took). He had to lay on his back, walk up and down stairs and pick things up off the floor. It was pretty hilarious.

2. Photobucket - one word: Awesome! We've been messing around with editing photos.

3. Working - Jordan continues on the great job search and I picked up a private tutoring job for the summer.

Life is Good.

Here It Is...

We got our crib! Thanks Mom! We love it!
Now all we need is the baby...

This is the best candle in the world. It makes your home smell like vanilla cake. MMM! My mother-in-law had this in her home and I can't get enough of it.

Vacation Highlights

We just returned from an awesome vacation in Washington DC. We visited Jordan's family: David, Joni, Owen and Karli. Here are some highlights:

* National Zoo - the coolest animals were the Gorillas, Elephants, Lions and Pandas.

* Pennsylvania Dutch Country - we visited the Amish/Mennonite communities of Lancaster County. We learned to twist pretzels, tasted lots of yummy jam and almost rode in a buggy (but not for $10/person).

* Hershey, PA - We went to the famous town of Hershey where the streets were named Chocolate and Cocoa :) We went to Chocolate world and rode the ride (it was like Pirates of the Carribean with singing cows). It was awesome!

* Gettysburg, PA - did you know it is 6,000 acres? It was beautiful and peaceful.

* National Air and Space Museum in Dulles, VA.

* Dutch County Famers Market - MMM they had delicious pastries.

* Spending time with David, Joni, Owen and Karli. Owen had the coolest laugh and was always smiling. We loved being there. Thank you guys for letting us stay.

Update #1

I went home to CDA a few weeks ago for a Baby Shower. THANKS MOM!! It was fantastic!

Cool Baby Shower game: Bubbalicious gum for everyone, use it as molding clay to make little babies. The mother-to-be picks to winner. Here are some of the contenders.

Grandma, Kerry, Keely and Shauna hard at work molding their babies.

These were the cupcakes made by Casey (my step-brothers sister-in-law, confusing?). They had pacifiers made of lifesavers and jellybeans on top. They were so beautiful and delicious!! MMM!

Thank you everyone for coming and for all the great gifts.

Graduation!!!

Jordan graduated from BSU this past weekend with a degree in Accounting and a degree in Finance. I am so proud of him! His parents and my Mom and Aunt Michelle were able to come down to celebrate with us.

A few things you may not know about the recent graduate:

1. He really likes racing. Whether its horses or NASCAR he enjoys watching.
2. He has a list of over 150 goals - some are practical some are just funny.
3. He is very particular about doing the dishes. He literally washes them clean and then puts them into the dishwasher. He likes to be the one to "rinse" them because my standards are not as high when it comes to getting everything off.
4. He won a coloring contest as a child. He is still proud of his stellar ability to "color within the lines".
5. He loves the stock market. He plans to master it one day. I'll let you know when that occurs :)

Thank you everyone for supporting Jordan!
