News

Ok, so yeah, as my parents keep noting, I don't maintain this enough to keep them in the loop. I guess there are a few things that need mentioning.

Next weekend is the 2008 White Dragon Tournament, so lots of work going into preparing for that.

We just got a new car, swapped the 2001 Hyundai Elantra for a 2007 Suzuki XL7.

Danny and Nia are still doing good.

We are making some big changes to our house, converting a big open area in the upstairs into a room by adding a wall and closet, redoing our kitchen cabinets and countertop, and moving internal furniture around.

Hmmm, what else.

Oh, right, and one other little thing. I guess it's been a while, but I came home on April 1st, and after a very brief talk about how sweaty I was after my workout, Karen showed me this:


So it was April 1st, right, and she's looking at me waiting for a reaction. Terror gripped me in an instant, trying to figure out if she was serious or it was a joke, and what the 'correct' response was. I think a long pause and a blank stare followed by "really?" is what I went with, which she followed up with "no, actually I just went out and bought a gag test"... again, I couldn't tell if that was sarcastic or true. Women can be cruel. :)

But in the end, it was true. And honestly, it wasn't really unexpected, we were planning on really trying about a month from that point, it was just surprising it was so quick and at that point... we were going to wait since we didn't want a December birthdate, since having a b-day close to the end of the year always seems to downplay it a bit. *shrug*

But looks like that's what we got, and really I'd rather have it come easily than desperately try for years with no luck. I WAS looking forward to a LITTLE more working at it, but ah, well. The one time we laxed a little on being careful was apparently enough. :p Does give us a pretty exact date of conception, though.

Our current official due date is December 4, 2008, but we're having an ultrasound this Thursday, which may change that date a little at that point.

This is just a quick useless post from my cellphone to see if it works. IF YOU CAN SEE THIS, IT DOES. NOW, WHY DID IT GO ALL CAPS? I'M NOT RETYPING ALL THAT. :P
