Blonde Moment!

Pretty much since I found out I was pregnant I have been addicted to looking on ebay for baby stuff... my favorite thing... crib sets! I've bid a couple of times, but always backed off, or at the last second was outbid. Today at school I was "watching" one crib set I've had my eye on. After school there was 2 minutes left on the item and so I decided to start bidding. It was at $48.00 and so I put in $51.99... It then said YOU ARE THE CURRENT HIGH BIDDER... my co-worker Christine was watching it with me in my room, then when I looked closer it said I bid $5199.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was like AHHHHHHHHHHH what did I just do.... and I basically started freaking out... I just kept repeating..."What do I do... What do I do?" Poor Christine had to see me in my flipping out stage. A few minutes later it said that I had won the item, but for only $71.00. Thank goodness it only bids for you $1.00 above what the next highest bidder was... holy cow I about had a heart attack. Afterwards, talking to Chris (he had a good laugh about the whole thing,) I was told that you can retract your bid if that happens. I'm just grateful I didn't spend $5199.00 on our baby's bedding... as cute as I know she's going to be, that's a little excessive!

The item I "won!"

Weekend Fun

Last weekend we were excited to be able to relax a little bit and enjoy each other's company! We went to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point with our friends John and Bonnie on Friday night. Then on Saturday we relaxed and started to set up our little baby's crib, until we realized we were missing some of the hardware. We have to go back to the baby store and pick up the missing pieces!

San Fran!

Chris and I enjoyed a little vaca over my fall break to San Francisco this last week! We went with his parents, and two sisters. We had a lot of fun and we're sad that we have to go back to work!

We did lots of fun stuff! We went to Alcatraz, the redwoods, the beach, the trolly museum, wine country, the windiest rode in the world, china town, and lots of other fun places!!!!! Trolly museum

The Curviest rode in the world... this picture does it NO justice... it's crazy!

The largest windmill in the world

The vineyards

Trolly!

China Town! I got our baby girl the CUTEST hot pink chinese outfit here!

Um.... MASSIVE trees... My jaw was down like the whole time!

It took sooooo long to get to the red woods and I had to drive because since I've been prego my carsickness has multiplied by like 100! It was crazy!

I love Chris!

Us at the Golden Gate Bridge!

This was a tree you could walk through... this car below tried to drive through it and ripped both of their side mirrors off the rental car... it was possibly the funniest thing we saw the whole trip... we tried not to laugh... but trust me... it was funny.

Wow! Could we be any hotter!!! (please... don't respond!)

This pier was CRAZY filled with sealions... They were sooo much fun to watch... you can't even see half of them in this photo!

Alcatraz.... which I knew absolutely nothing about until now... we took a ferry to the island and then you take a self guided tour through the jail and an audio tape tells you all the stories. It's really cool. And now... I'm like obsessed with prisons... they're so fascinating!

The gang!

Sweet store huh! Lefty's do rule!

On the plane!

Everyone... Meet Henry!

Chris and I recently purchased our first pet! His name is Henry and he is such a good fish! We already love Henry and hope he's with us for a long time (as long as a fish really can be!)

Interview #2!

Monday Chris left to Washington D.C. for his second med school interview at George Washington. The interview went well and he was glad to be able to see the campus and what the school is all about. Although he wasn't even there for 24 hours... he even fit in some sight seeing! Our good friend (oh... and cousin!!!!) Chelsea, lives right next to the airport and school and was kind enough pick him up and Tuesday afternoon to run around for a couple hours to see as much as they possibly could!

Drum Roll Please....

It's a girl!

Thursday morning we had our ultrasound! It was so much fun to see our baby moving around. She had her legs crossed the whole time, it was so cute... like she was already a little lady! Although it was cute, I was so scared Chris was going to get his way and we weren't going to be able to tell if we were having a boy or a girl... but at the last minute... she came through for her mommy and it was loud and clear that she was a girl! We are so excited and can't wait to see her in person. I haven't felt her kick yet (at least that I know of) so hopefully that will come soon. We are so happy that she is healthy and all looks well. We are currently racking our brains for a name that both of us can agree on, but I guess we have some time!

Life Update!

I thought I would update everyone on what's going on in our lives! Our normal day starts out with Chris riding his scooter over to Trax to catch the 7:00 train and I'm at school in Lehi by 7:15. Chris is still up at the U and he well... likes it okay! This week he came home with a book about anatomy... he's ready for med school! He has two interviews lined up this month. He will be interviewing at George Washington in DC on the 23rd and at the U soon after that! We are very excited about these opportunities! School has been good for me! I picked up an extra class this year so I now teach foods, financial literacy, and adult roles. I have awesome students this year and haven't had a single issue yet this year (I already had some by this time last year.) Today was a bitter sweet day... when I got to school all my grades and attendance had completely been erased because of a computer error... so 1/3 of us teachers spent all day trying to re-enter stuff and remember what the heck should be in there! It was soooo much fun... okay not really! Although in my last period I had to of the girls in my class come running in giddy with excitement because they went and bought these adorable aprons to wear in class. We provide them with purple aprons, but they apparently just weren't fashionable enough! It really reminded me why I'm a teacher!

THIS IS WHY I TEACH!!!!!

Today was my 18 week appointment for the baby! Everything is looking great! I finally heard the heart beat today... in the past the baby just wasn't cooperating so I had just seen it, but it is official now because I've seen and heard it! The day after Chris gets back from DC we will go and have the ultrasound to find out boy or girl!!!! We are so excited and time is already flying by!
