All Bets Are Off!

Well, we can finally start buying some clothes (and of course we already have). We found out our little baby is going to be a girl! This is my favorite picture because you can really see her cute little hand. We got some great shots of her face but since the ultrasound machine mostly shows just bone, she looked pretty freaky and we don't want to give the www the wrong idea. She's a mix of me and Eric, so of course she'll be freakin' cute. She just needs a few more months in the oven.

Those Hip Apostles At It Again...

So we were having this lesson in Relief Society about all the ways we can share the gospel in this time and our teacher reads part of this article M. Russell Ballard wrote in this month's Ensign called "Sharing the Gospel Using the Internet". In one part he talks about using blogs to share your testimony and even talks about YouTube type sites to share your testimony. I thought it was funny cause Ballard is probably in his 70's or 80's and is totally up-to-date on what is going on in the world. What is funny is our teacher had to ask if someone in the Relief Society would explain to her what a "blog" is because she didn't even know what it was. Now the next appropriate thing for me to do would be to take this to heart and share my testimony, but I don't know if I'm ready to post it on the world wide web yet...someday, maybe....

Where Boys Become Men?

Well at 53 years old, I would say my dad has been a man for quite some time, but isn't that what they say when you're off to war? This past weekend my dad headed off to Afghanistan for the next ten months. We're all pretty bummed, except for him. He's been in the army since college and has never had to go to war. So as he told me, they're finally putting him after sitting on the bench the whole game. So I guess I'm glad he has this opportunity. The first thing I asked him when he told me was going to Afghanistan was if we were allowed to come visit, but for some reason tourists are not allowed. I'll get to call him and email him, and he'll get to check my blog...so we'll get to keep in touch just as well as if he was in Virginia. Even still, I miss him a lot!!
