New Favorite.

For those of you who are fans of Regina Spektor...I think you could probably also appreciate this artist. Lenka and 'The Show' - my new favorite!

Catching Up!

Well its officially been too long since I wrote last...and figured since its a quiet afternoon in Idaho I had better load some of my pictures and blog them. I have officially entered into the 3rd trimester of my pregnancy and am feeling the little guy move more and more. So much so, that I feel like I have a foot or one of his limbs permanently lodged between my ribs...OUCH. My ribs ache most of the time, but hopefully that just means he is healthy and strong. My mom and my sister in law threw me a baby shower this last weekend and I will be sure to post pictures of that.

But first thing's first. Andy has officially been gone to California for a little over a week (it feels like a month)...I am really missing him and can't wait until we can both be home together. I am so happy that my parents agreed to let me stay with them, not only do I feel more safe...but it definitely distracts me and keeps me from counting every minute of every day. Before Andy left...we got together with our friends and carved some Halloween pumpkins. I know these pictures are LONG over due, but I had to show everyone how talented Andy is at carving a pumpkin. I will admit the only part I played in the whole process was spooning out the guts... Andy did the rest.

Here is Andy concentrating on drawing the face...

and here is the finished product!


We were only able to enjoy our pumpkin for a couple of days before we had to pass him on to our friends Steve and Christy to take care of for us. I was pretty impressed to say the least.

Things in Idaho are going well. My days pretty much already have a routine...I get up at 6:30 every morning (when my little sister gets up to get ready for school), eat some food and pretty much hang out. Not much different than my life in Kentucky except for the absence of Andy. I am excited to get back and spend Christmas together and know he is even more excited. I don't think a month long visit to Fort Erwin is really his cup of tea, but he is trying to make the most of it (a little under 2 1/2 weeks for him to go).

Like I mentioned, yesterday my mom and sister in law Cami thew me a baby shower here in Idaho...it was so great so see so many of my friends and family and to those of you who came...THANKS! I had such a great time and received so many wonderful gifts, I can hardly wait to use them. Here is a little slide show of the exciting event (and some good shots of my big belly):
