Time for an update!!!

I have been dreading this update for so long! I am so behind, where to start?! Well I guess first things first, I'm pregnant! That's pretty big news. While this was not planned, we both love surprises and are thrilled by this one! I haven't really many symptoms. I pee a alot and my tummy is just starting to change (I am half way through my 17th week) but that is about it.

We will be making our Dr. Apt to find out what the baby is in mid October. I didn't want to find out the sex of the baby until it was born but David won this battle so I'm hoping I will get a little more wiggle room in the naming part.

David has a job interview on Wednesday at Lexmark! We have waiting almost TEN MONTHS for this and would appreciate any prayers. We are SO ready for a change.

Other news... lets see... Oh! My sister is getting married. I am going to be the LARGEST maid of Honor in history since my Due date is March 7th and her Wedding will be late December. I already picked out a dress with PLENTY of growing room though just in case.

That's about it for now. I'll try to be better about updating about the baby. Any baby name suggestions would help. Examples of names not welcome: Influenza, Agnes Shagnasty, Bertha... You get the picture.

Also any advice would be great! We are reading books and looking online but there is nothing like experienced friends and family to help fill you in!!!

cleaning cleaning cleaning!!!

So there's not a lot of news but David talked to our landlord and she is cleaning this week. She should be giving us the keys soon so I'm hoping we will be able to start moving in soon. I cannot WAIT!!! I will post pictures ASAP.

It's Official!!!

Were MOVING! No not because David got a job, or I got a better one. Just felt like an upgrade. The place we are moving is MUCH closer to town, bigger, and about the same price since it is utilities included!! So nice! Also, David has started applying to anywhere and everywhere. Penn Station, Ponderosa, Shoe sensation.

Although he is a college graduate with a great degree we will have to make do with these jobs until we get the official "Grown Up" job. Gotta get the money flowing!

Pictures will be posted later. We won't move for two weeks at earliest.

PS- I forgot the most exciting part of moving. We will be two doors down from our married friends (of 2 weeks) Lauren and Ben Monett!!!

Pros and Cons

There are pro's and con's to every situation. I just have to realize that while my husband is away for the night. We have spent the night away from each other before (maybe two nights) but usually I am in richmond with a house full of family and well distracted. Anyways, I am making myself focus on the pro's in this situation. Here they are:

Pro's

*I get to watch any show I want

*I can eat all the good snacks

*THE WHOLE BED

*Special cuddle time with Myah

*I can fall asleep in the dark (David has to watch TV to sleep)

*I can fall asleep in the quiet

*I can watch tv by candle light (Just annoying when other people are in the house)

*I got to go to an AWESOME bridal shower and not worry about getting back

*Computer all to myself

That is a pretty good list I think! The only con I can really think of is missing him but I can live with that for one night.

2010 Census

Since the first census commercial came on my television a couple of months ago I was so excited. First off I think because this is on official record that will forever say that in 2010 our little family consists of me and David. I still to this day get so excited any time that I can write down that I actually got to marry this amazing guy!

Second, the next time I fill out a census who KNOWS what our lives will be like. It is so exciting for me to think about how much our lives will change and how our family will look at that time. We may have 6 kids, we may have one, we may have none. We may have adopted children, foster children, biological children, or none yet (we are still waiting to start that chapter of our lives and you really never know what's going to happen when you try)

Third, Family History!!! Just think if people hadn't done census' years ago. How much harder would it be to find stuff for records and baptisms and that kind of thing. I hear so often people finding great big branches of their family trees from these seemingly simple population counts.

Fourth, I am a SUCKER for filling out forms! I just love checking boxes, filling in blanks, circling or anything else that has to be filled out. I swear if I could find a job where I fill out forms all day I would be in love.

Anyways just thought I would voice my opinion. David makes fun of me for getting excited when I see commercials or the fact that I filled it out and had it back in the mailbox within about 3.2 minutes after receiving it but it is something that you just can't explain!

Baby Zander!!!!

We are so excited!!! We give March 19th a BIG thumbs up because....

I have a nephew!!!

Crazy Bobby

And BEAUTIFUL Jen
Gave me my first Nephew!!!

Baby Zander Levi Boardman

Was Born March 19th 2010

At 6:29 PM

6 lbs and 18 1/2 Inched Long

And we could not be more excited!!! More pictures to come. He looks so cute and I think alot like Jen. Bobby and Jen live in PA so we were not able to be there for the birth but are hoping to go up soon so we can see him!!! I for one cannot wait to hold our family's new little grandchild! Aiden is not the one and only anymore.

That will be interesting! I told david that Jessie had the first Girl, Bobby had the first Boy, so we will have to have the first twins! He wasn't so excited about the idea of that but I thought it was funny. Anyways, here he is!!

Not so subtle

So Myah has started something pretty interesting lately. The other day we were sitting at home relaxing a little bit. Myah had been pretty good that day and was enjoying the nice weather outside. When we brought her in she started playing with her toys and brought her food bowl to us. I thought she was just trying to play with it (AKA eat it) so I scolded her and put it back. She did this a few more times before we finally put it on the counter.

The next night we were sitting in bed and she jumped up with her water bowl. David noticed that she wasn't playing with it like a normal toy though so he suggested I give her water and see if that's what she wanting. He was mostly kidding thinking she would leave it alone if it was full. So I took it, FILLED it with water (which we hardly ever do because she just makes a mess) and went back in my room.

Five minutes later there she was again with the EMPTY water bowl.

SOMEHOW she has decided that whenever she wants food or what she will just bring us the particular bowl that she wants and get us to fill it up. Who does that!? I think it is so funny that she has figured this out and is pretty nice now since we don't have to check her water and food that often or worry about the food going stale because she doesn't want to eat it right at that moment.

Our dog taught herself a trick! We knew our little mutt was smarter than she looks :)
