Tag you're it...

Actually I'm it. Thanks Kristin.

1. Where I was 10 years ago:

I was a sophomore at Shepton High School. Probably singing some medley from "Grease" or "Rent" in choir with Ms. Robertson. I did my first musical "Annie" and was in Student Congress raising awareness for organ donation to 9th and 10th graders. Watching Dawson's Creek and listening to Eagle Eye Cherry and Savage Garden.

2. 5 things on my "to do" list today:

1. Write thank-you notes
2. Go to Target
3. Prepare my Young Women's lesson
4. Figure out what I'm making for dessert on Sunday to bring to a friend's for Easter
5. Name my baby (this is on my list everyday)

3. Things I would do if I became a billionaire:

Sam could quit his job and we could move to Texas. I would probably buy some houses around the world and definitely travel all over. I would shop a lot...at Nordstrom and Banana Republic. Although if I'm a billionaire, I guess I can do better than that. I'm sure we'd have to buy box seats at every Boston sports venue (or maybe an entire sports team). I could get a new car! And I would never worry about money again :)

4. 3 of my bad habits:

1. Not washing my face at night
2. Being impatient
3. Pressing the snooze button multiple times before getting up

5. 5 places I've lived:

1. State College, PA
2. Westborough, MA
3. Provo, UT
4. Plano, TX
5. Watertown, MA

6. 5 jobs I've had:

1. Administrative Assistant, Courtyard by Marriott
2. Nordstrom Sales Associate
3. Swimming teacher with Bridget
4. Sci-Tech Discovery Center...not sure my title
5. soon to be stay at home mom!!

7. Something most people don't know about me:

I hate this question. There is nothing mysterious about me, and I have no secrets.

I tag...mom, Lucy, Drew, and Meg.

Baby Stuff

Well Sam and I figured that since the baby is only 2 months away, we should start preparing. While we haven't actually purchased anything, thanks to our AMAZING parents, we now have baby furniture! So at least he'll have a place to sleep and somewhere to keep his clothes. Isn't it beautiful? I'm so excited.

They didn't have a good pic of the dresser on the website, but this is it.

Now we just have to put it together...

Meet the Cullens

Finally!

Funny or Die

Last night Sam and I went to the Will Farrell "Funny or Die" comedy tour. It was great for the most part. We had awesome seats--9th row center, on the floor...which unfortunately didn't make for the best acoustics. Some parts were really hard to hear because we were right below the speakers, but overall it was a really really funny show. There are three other comedians touring with him...Demetri Martin (who was the hardest to hear, but I thought he was the funniest), Nick Swardson (not that funny in my opinion), and Zach Galafianakis.

I saw two people dressed up as Buddy the Elf at the show...very funny. During one part Will took some questions from the audience. By far my favorite was "If you had the choice between being the top comedian in your field and getting mad cow disease what would it be?" If you haven't seen the SNL clip of Will Ferrell as Harry Caray, you've got to check it out. Here are some pics from the show!

Will started out the show by fighting off ninjas

At one point during the show he came out and rode around the stage on a Jazzy.

This is Zach Galafianakis closing out his bit by singing "Tomorrow" dressed as Annie. He had a whole bunch of things written on pages of the flip chart that he would rip off at various points during the song...this page was the finale.

Will came out dressed as Ron Burgundy for one part and interviewed two Penn State football players.

All the comedians closed the show by coming out in "Capezio dance pants" (Will was very specific about this) and Ugg boots. They all sang "No One" by Alicia Keys together.

And here's a picture of us at the show!

Time Flies

It's been a long time since I've posted!! Where to begin?

Sam and I went to Florida with the Schmidt family for Christmas. We drove down with Sarah and Meg and the whole fam stopped in Savannah for a day. I LOVE Savannah. Such a cool city. Favorite thing: Paula Deen's restaurant. YUMMM!

Here we are on River Street

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil house

Annie won the "Best Dressed" award on the ghost tour

We spent the next week in Orlando. The weather was incredible so we spent the week hanging out at the hotel, going swimming, seeing National Treasure, reading (FINALLY finished the vampire books) and of course going to Disney! Still fun, even though I couldn't ride the good rides. Here are some highlights.

Here's a really good picture of everybody eating in France at Epcot
The Castle

On the drive home Sam and I made quite a few detours (which Sam claimed were "on the way"). I don't think Atlanta is "on the way" to Pennsylvania... Most of the stops were to check out potential business schools, but first we stopped to visit friends Joel and Amelia in Brunswick, GA. We had a great time catching up, seeing their cute new home, checking out where they work, and going to lunch. Thanks Joel and Amelia!!!!

Then we headed to Atlanta to see one of Sam's friends, Scott, and his new fiance Lea. The weather was crummy and rainy, but they showed us the city and we took a look at Emory.

Scott and Sam, so cute.

After two more stops in Durham/Raleigh to check out Duke and Charlottesville to see UVA, we finally made it home on New Year's Eve. Happy 2008!!!

Big Ultrasound

I went on Friday for the big ultrasound and it is most definitely a boy! We are so so so SO excited! Now that we've seen him, it's finally starting to sink in that there is actually a real baby in there. I also have finally been feeling him move around in there. He's a night owl already! The ultrasound technicial gave us lots of pictures so I thought I'd share.

Here's one of his face. I think it looks like he's smiling in this one.

Profile Shot

This is by far my favorite. You can't see him very well, but check out his hand!

It's a Boy!

At least that's what my pee told me. I don't have my official big ultrasound until December 7th, but my mom got me an at home gender predictor test that said it was a boy! Apparently these things are like 90% accurate. So we'll find out in a week if it worked for us!

Most people who don't update their blogs very often, don't because they're so busy and don't have time. Nope. Not for me. I have had NOTHING TO SAY. There has been NOTHING going on in our lives.

However, last week we did get to go to Texas for Thanksgiving which was great. It was nice to finally be at home again. It was the first time I'd seen Drew since he's been home from his mission, and my grandparents were also there. Thanksgiving was great. We went out to dinner at Three Forks instead of cooking and then went to see Enchanted (SO good by the way).

I promise I'll create things to write about and give more baby updates!
