Random Musings

It has been an eventful couple of weeks!

We have travelled south to visit family and north to celebrate friends.

In Hilton Head we discovered that GZ can indeed swim (though he prefers not to) fairly well considering the current was probably pretty strong for a 10lb pup. We also got to see Dave's niece and nephew along with other family that we haven't seen since the wedding! It was so nice to catch up with everyone. And it was nice to get away for a weekend...there is just something about driving away that resets the perspective.

Last weekend landed us in Cinnci for a wedding. It was a great time. A reunion of TSD people that I haven't seen in years. It's times like these that you can appreciate good friendships that just pick up where you left off....no matter how long its been. =) I miss all of those folks a lot so the visit was very cathartic for me. Despite the fact that I felt a little like a polka dotted cow with this whole body make-over c/o baby.

We also got to visit with one of Dave's grad school friends who was gracious enough to drive us around and give us a place to crash for the night. Congrats to him on his engagement! Yay! We visited the Cinncinatti zoo, which was really nice. (I love zoo's!)

Hmmm what else. Ahh...mamacita has uprooted again and landed happily in North Carolina. We are off to Asheville to visit them this weekend.

Work is work with both of our jobs presenting their own frustrations. However we remain grateful that we have employment, especially with the baby!

Oh yeah...the baby. We are more than 1/2 there now! Yay! I can't say that I am one of those glowing preggo ladies that cherish every hormone-induced moment, but I am thankful that everything has been progressing smoothly. This whole pregnancy thing was definitely not designed for the impatient, pathological worriers. =) And now I am reassured by the random somersaults that go on throughout the day. Sadly the kicks aren't quite hard enough for Dave to witness which has resulted in some drill-like commands at my tummy "kick harder! Ahp cha ki!"

Hope everyone has had a nice July..cause well...its pretty much gone. Amazing how quickly summer slips away.
