Little Updates

Well, I finished out the Fall quarter strong. I got a 4.0! Very exciting for me. And probably the last time that will be happening for a while. WSU graduation and family vacation was a lot of fun. It snowed about 6 inches while we were at Lake Chelan. Thank goodness for 4WD vehicles! And thank goodness for vehicles with DVD players! That definitely made all of the driving more bearable. We even played the Wii in the car.

Returning from vacation meant returning to stress. I am still pretty overwhelmed trying to figure everything out on my own. It's going to be such a stressful time trying to adjust to having a new baby with everything else going on. I am looking forward to maternity leave and being able to have some quiet time with the baby to adjust and get used to a new routine.

Looking forward to Christmas at my sister's and hanging out with my sister's in-laws on Christmas Eve. Ony a few more hours of work to make it through tomorrow, then on to a nice (but super busy) 3 day weekend. This weekend my sister and I will be cleaning and getting the carpets cleaned in preparation for the babies. It's going to be a shock for Mike how little space we have now with all of the baby stuff. I don't know where all of his Army stuff is going to go once he gets back, but hopefully we will have a house by then.

That's all for now...will post pictures soon.

Washingtonians are Weird.

It's so cold!! Today I woke up to a nice 10 degree morning. The high for today? A nice 28 degrees. It is sunny though, which I guess is nice. I would gladly take some clouds and rain for some warmer weather though. The family is heading to Pullman this weekend for WSU graduation. It was -2 degrees there today. Then we are heading to Lake Chelan for a few days. High temp? 25 degrees. Why do we pick the coldest part of the state for vacation!?

Only ten more weeks until the arrival of baby Amaro. Everyday life is slowly becomming more difficult. I find that taking a hot bath at night helps me move the next morning. My back and hips are suffering. I am only 5'4" and have a short mid-section, so the baby is growing straight out. It has made things painful to say the least, and sleep is a luxury! Let's just say I am ready for this baby to come out now!

Today was the memorial for the Lakewood officers that were killed last week. It was insane seeing 2500+ police officers lined up on I-5 in a 3 hour, 10 mile procession. I am watching the memorial right now on TV. It's sad that such a tragedy happened so close to home.

That's all for now!
