Party On

These next 6 weeeks have SOOOO much going on!!! Of course there is halloween and I can't wait to post pics of our great costumes! We better win our ward costume contest!
Then on Nov 20 we find out what our little one is, but we don't really find out. We will have 2 tags, "It's A Boy" & "It's A Girl", we will have the ultra-sound tech put the appropriate tag in a box. Then we will wait another week to go up to Calgary for American Thanksgiving. This is what we are going to do...Anyone who wants to make a guess as to what we are having, gets to put in a bet (min tooney entry), then after everyone guesses and the truth is revealed, everyone that guessed correctly gets their bet back and everyone who is wrong, the remaining $ goes to a new outfit for the little one. I know it may be a bit much, but even Mike and I get to guess. I have heard so many moms say they have an instinct that it is one or the other. I have absolutely NO IDEA??? I hope this doesn't make me a bad mom. The good thing is we have a name for either a girl or a boy. Mike and I are so excited for this stage in life.
Then just one week after we get back to Boise and Dec 1st rolls around we find out about dental school and after all the interviews if we are accepted and where!!! So to say the least, there is tonnes going on in the next 6 weeks. How fun it will be!
I am still not showing much, but I will start posting at 20 weeks so I can see how I grow. I have been great, no sickness or throwing up. Just tired and food aversions. We'll see if that stays the same. So far I enjoy being pregnant!

Mike is in Arizona & Las Vegas this week for 2 more interviews and then he is pretty sure he is going to cancel his interview in Boston, as he is burned out. I am amazed at how well Mike is able to get good grades and be on the road almost every week, missing several classes. He is a trooper, but is anxious to find out the verdict, as am I.

Haircuts and Killers











So Eth wanted me to update the blog so everyone gets to see what we've been up to lately from my point of view. I will start by stating that Eth got a new haircut, and it looks great, but other than that I don't feel qualified to give any news on what she actually did to it. I believe she said something about more layers and it is obviously a different color. So other than that what have we been up to lately. We did go and see the Killers a few weeks ago and the show was awesome, I think we made a wise decision taking that over the ward talent show. My brother Steve and his wife (Tiki) came up and stayed with us and went to the show. They too are pregnant so the girls had a good time talking about little babies and such. So those are the big things we've been doing, I am keeping busy with the interview thing. I was in Indianapolis this past weekend, I am off to Buffalo, New York this cokming weekend. I then get a week off and then I am off to Phoenix and Las Vegas. Ethney is going up to Calgary this week to do some Scentsy stuff and visit with family. Ethney gets to do the trip with G-Ma L, which she is quite excited about! She is coming down and then driving up with her. I'm also going to throw up some pictures of Jeff, Andy and I rocking out on Guitar Hero, good stuff, the girls were somewhere talking about, you guessed it, babies again. Other than that life is pretty normal, we are staying busy and are excited to find out what we are having next month and where we will be moving to in the Spring, the first of December.
