15 Weeks

Well, I figure that it is about time for a pregnancy update. I am now 15 weeks pregnant. I really am beginning to show a little. But Scott and I are really the only ones who can tell (except for sneaky Angela at my work! She busted me this week as being pregnant!). Last week at my second prenatal appointment Scott and I got to hear the baby's heartbeat! That was amazing! I was so glad that Scott was there with me! The heartbeat sounded like a strange techno ocean wave. Scott kept trying to mimic the sound the whole way home. He got pretty good too. My next appointment is in three weeks and hopefully we will find out if we are having a boy or girl. So get your bets in soon! Luckily by now my morning sickness has gone away. No more strange tummy business. Now I am just left with headaches and exhaustion. But it will be worth it in the end!

A Trip to the Fair!

Scott really wanted to go to the fair this year. So we made a date night out of it! We had so much fun! We wandered through a very "different" photography exhibit, watched kids fish at a pond that was no bigger than a kiddie pool (I didn't see anyone catch anything), watched a wild turkey race, ate corndogs, perused the merchandise and visited all the livestock! I think everyone should go to the fair just for the fun of it!

Battle With The Wall Shelf

Being first time home owners, Scott and I learning how to do things by ourselves for the first time. This is even harder considering Clark isn't here to bail us out. For example we were trying to install a shelf in our laundry room and had a little run in with the drywall screw. It got stuck in the wall. Go figure! The only problem was that it wasn't in there right. So we had to pull it out. Those things are tough! It took us about a half an hour! (Pardon the just got back from running look)

Megsie Comes to Town

Megan came for a visit! Hooray!! While she was here we had an awesome BBQ / Bridal Shower. Boys and girls were invited! Good food, great company, funny games, and lots of laughs. One glorious evening when she was here we went out to dinner with Capernicus and some other friends. We had a lovely dinner at Mazza and then went for some Luna's Italian Ice. We were enjoying the pleasant evening air when the crazy wind / rain storm hit very suddenly and very dramatically! Clothes racks from sidewalk sales toppled, umbrellas took off, potted plants flew off tables, signs fells over, etc, etc. Sadly Capree was caught with some debris in her eye. And yes the white specks in the photos are debris not strange flash effects.

A Walk Around the Lake!

When Scott and I have a day off and finally have an evening to share with each other we like to go on walks around the lake in our neighborhood. So I thought I would share a few of those fun moments. We are so lucky to be where we are. The lake is two blocks West of us and the temple is two blocks East. It makes for very nice walks. We also like to explore the neighborhood because it changes every day. Houses are going up so fast here it is quite unbelievable!

I Swear It Is True!!

So I found this cartoon today and think it adequately describes my current state of mind and body.

The Dangers of Work

So I came into the studio early on Tuesday to get a head start. Nobody was there yet so the studio was nice and quiet. I walked into the back room of the studio to put my lunch in the fridge. I noticed some brochures on the floor and thought, "Hmm that is odd." Then I looked over to discover that during the night our entire shelving unit had collapsed and dumped its contents onto the desk with the computers!! Oh Boy!! Needless to say the place was a disaster. Miraculously we were able to restore order in about 4 hours in spite of the intermittent power outages!
