Lately...

OK - So I'm not great at this whole blog thing. Sorry! I will attempt to catch you up over the past 2 months.

First, Matt graduated college!!!! Yahoo!! Can I just say that it has been a long time coming and we are BOTH so excited about the extra free time. :) We threw a graduation party for him and packed our house with friends and family. Unfortunately, I have no pictures to prove it even happened. But, we do now have a very expensive piece of paper hanging on our wall to represent his achievement.

Next, we headed up to Seattle for a church planting conference. It was a good trip, but we were really busy the whole time with the conference so we didn't get a big chance to "sightsee." We did go down to Tacoma, which is a really neat town. We were looking at it as a potential place to plant the church, and after we got back to Temple it is now officially the place where we're going to plant. I also finally got to see Mt. Rainier - it is no longer a legend. When we were flying back home it was a clear day (imagine that!) and we were able to see both Mt. Rainier and Mt. St. Helens from the plane. Now that was awesome!

In October I was busy getting ready for our church's Fall Festival. It was on the 25th and we had a great time! I dressed up as a karate master (you know, because of all the kicking going on in my belly) and Matt was a construction worker. Of course, everyone was asking him if he was Joe the Plumber. I guess it can be confusing... I don't have a picture of us to post, but let me tell you - we were cute!

On actual Halloween night we had a pumpkin carving party at our good friends' house - Casey & Sarah. There was a prize for most creative food dishes - and we won! :)

Our "Mummy Coffin Cake" and "Sausage Bugs."
Now, here we are in November. I will offically be in my third trimester on Friday. WHOA! Time has flown. I have a feeling that time will start to slow down soon, though. I am starting to get the aches & pains of pregnancy. I definitely have a hard time turning over at night, and getting out of bed in the morning is a pain. Parker is an active little fella, but that doesn't bother me one bit. Just lets me know that he's OK. Baby shower time is now upon us, and we have been working hard to get his room completely cleared out so that we have somewhere to put the new stuff that will be coming in.

Here's the latest pic of me at 27 weeks.

So, I cannot promise that I will be better at blogging, but I will try...
