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.

How Pathetic, It Has Almost Been a Month!

Well to catch up, but at the same time not bore you, here is what we have been up to in a nutshell...Mike has been to 2 more dental school interviews, one at Midwestern in Arizona and one at Western in California. He still has 5 more interviews to go to, which is definately costing a small fortune, but you do what you've got to do. Our first doctors appointment for the baby was on Sept 4th, the internal ultrasound was a bit of a shocker, but there was so much detail. You could see the heart beating at 170bpm and it's little arms and legs just moving all over the place. the pics we have a pretty neat. Our doctor seems to be a really great guy, we both really like him. Our next appointment is on Oct 2, then in November is when we find out what we are having. Everyone thinks it is a girl, to be honest I have no intuition one way or the other. I am happy with either, of course. I have had more aversions than anything and it is quite wierd. I am hungry and can't find anything that sounds good. Wierd! I can't eat any salsa, which use to be a favorite and otherwise I am loving fruit! Let's see...we saw BSU beat Oregon in their game opener which was very critical for them this season and lots of fun! Sheila had us over so we could view it on a BIG screen and there was lots of delicious food! Thanks Sheila. For Labour Day long weekend we went up to the Gorge Amphitheater in Washington where we got to see Dave Matthews. We went up with our good friends, Jeff and Laura Johnson. It was a great concert! There was a bit too much rain so we were soggy all night, but at least it cleared up and it wasn't too cold. For those of you that haven't been, it is amazing! Our new blog pic is of us at the Gorge, the view, ambiance and the stage are just so captivating. We loved it! This weekend we are going to see The Killers here in Boise, one of Mike's favorites (by the way they are not near as hard as the name sounds). We've done a few BBQ's and church activities as usual. We celebrated our 3rd Anniversary on the 9th, well we actually celebrated it on the 12 because Mike was out of town on the 9th. We had a busy day of festivals, bubble tea, and a BSU game. I joined SCENTSY, which means I am a new consultant and its going great! I am trying to build up my clientale and get good experience before the little one comes so hopefully that can be a source of income that will allow me to stay home more and only have to work 1 day/week. With a hubby in school for another 5 years, we still need to have me bringing in some income to help keep the loans down. Not only that but it is lots of fun! If anyone wants to host a party, I'd be happy to put it on for you. As the host its great to get the FREE stuff and discounts. :) I think thats all. We have lots happening in the next couple of months. We will keep things up to date. Pics of the concert, the game and just hanging out!

Look Closely...I had to take a picture

Laura and I covering up to protect our lovely hair from the rain.

Captain Rabit as Mike called him, was dancing and entertaining us all concert long. It was great!

This is Mike's dad's flight jacket, I told him to put his aviators on and "put out the vibe" like Tom Cruise did in Top Gun. He did a mighty fine job.

Bree, Bryson and Me chillin at Alan and Peg's, this is when she brought over the barefoot and pregnant kit and spoiled me rotten. What a great friend Bree is. I love ya hun!

The BSU game we went to was a white out, meaning all the fans were to wear white!

A guy showed up in a head-to-toe blue spandex body suit with orange undies. It was hilarious!
