Baby Bump

Well, Baby Glawe is beginning to make its presence known. Matt took a couple of pictures yesterday of the proof and here they are...

Our Jamaica Vacation!

Matt and I just got back from a wonderful week in Jamaica! We had a great time. Since it was our 2nd time there we went off the resort more and saw more of Jamaica. We went shopping at 2 different craft markets. I must say I got pretty good at wheeling and dealing! We also went rafting on a bamboo raft through some really pretty parts of Jamaica. Then we went on a semi-submarine ride (looks like a glass bottom boat, but you're 6 feet under water). It was fun, but not so great for the pregnant lady! It made me a little sick-but at least I made it back to our room first! Other than that I felt pretty good and we had a great time. I tried to post some pictures below. It's my first time, so sorry if it doesn't turn out so great!

Our last night in Jamaica!

Sandals had a steel drum band playing before the beach party one night.

Our rafting guide (Nelson) took a picture of us rafting down the Martha Brae
The original Margaritaville is in Montego Bay

This was the view from our patio.

We're Having a Baby!!

That's right! We're having a baby and we're very excited about it! We found out on June 13th (which just happened to be Friday the 13th). Matt didn't believe the first test, so I ended up taking another one the next day to prove to him that I really am pregnant! I actually ended up taking 3 tests! Last week I had a doctor's appointment and we heard the baby's heart beat for the first time. It was very exciting and we finally had proof that there's actually a baby in there and I haven't just had the flu for 2 months! We won't know until October whether it's a boy or a girl. I'll keep you posted.

Moving....Maybe!

So, for several months now Matt and I have been throwing around the idea of moving out of Iowa...and now it seems like it just might happen! We're starting to get pretty serious about this idea. Tonight we are going to talk to someone about advise on how we can live on less money (which would be good to know whether we move or not). Then in about 2 weeks on my spring break we are heading down to Texas so Matt can start talking to some folks about job opportunities in Lubbock. I of course have been looking non-stop on the internet for jobs and houses. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens! Stay tuned...

Hmmm...

Well, could be awhile before there are any pictures...I've got to figure this thing out....Stay tuned....

Well Matt didn't have to work on Monday so he went and got our Christmas tree ( he did a pretty good job...even if he did have to fight with the tree so it would stand up straight). We've also been pretty busy hanging up lights this year (thanks Butch and Linda for helping). Here's some pics of all of our hard work. Enjoy!
