Weekend Stuff...

Friday night Ryan and I ventured to Babies R Us to buy a car seat. This was something that I had been looking forward to for a few weeks now. I’m not sure why but this felt like the one thing that we had to have to make me feel like if the baby were to come now, we could at least bring him home. I’m still feeling great and feel so fortunate to have had a “smooth” pregnancy so far. There are still 12 weeks left so who knows what will happen during those weeks but up to now things have gone smoothly. I love feeling the baby move – he has found my ribs and I do not love that too much but I still love feeling him move. Tonight we meet with a potential pediatrician and tomorrow I go in for the glucose test appointment, so things are progressing right along.

Saturday, we went to Fayetteville with the Foley’s to watch Ian play rugby. The weather was cold and rainy and not really good outside weather. We watched most of the game outside, and finished the game from the car. It was fun to go onto a military base, Fort Bragg, and watch the game. Before we were able to enter the base the car was searched, the guard looked at our ID’s and we even had to pop the hood of the car which was interesting. We were a few hours early so we walked around the commissary and looked at the prices of food on base - i.e. killing time before the game started.

Sunday, I had a great day at church. The primary lesson went well and I was able to continue my adventure of teaching the kids in my class (age 7) how to look up scriptures. I’m not sure if they like it or not, but it is an important thing to learn and I figure age 7/age 8 is a good time to start! We went to the Larkin’s for an amazing super bowl party – they sure know how to throw a party. There was plenty of food and the commercials were just alright. There were a few that were very funny and we watched those a second time…..a few of them I was thinking to myself really, this is a commercial you paid millions of dollars to advertise and this is all you could come up with. But anyway it was a fun game to watch and really didn’t care who won I just wanted a good game.

Ryan finished the competition and I was so glad to get him back! He had multiple late nights where he would only get a couple hours of sleep. One night he came home at 4:00 am and got up at 7:00 am to go back in - we called that his nap for the night since there is no way anyone could consider that a sleep. He has made some good contacts in the architecture field and hopefully something good will come out of those. My class is taking up a lot more time that I could have ever imagined. When I’m not working on readings or other things for it I’m thinking about how I should be working on class stuff instead of doing other things that might be more fun. I guess it is helping time go quickly so that is a good thing.

Well, that about sums up our weekend fun and I need to be better about taking pictures to post, since reading is always more fun with pictures!
