Happy Anniversary to Us

So we celebrated our first anniversary this past Sunday. Thanks to everyone who made phone calls, we heard from so many people, I was shocked!

Ben and I headed to a movie and out for pizza, nothing to fancy, but relaxing and fun. We saw little miss sunshine, which was great. Had popcorn, which I snuck in illegally, but I just can't eat the theater crap being pregnant, and popcorn is such a good snack, I also can't go the duration of the movie without eating... so comprimises need to be made.

The weather here sucks at the moment, I am very happy with the coolness of is, but man I haven't been able to photosynthesize in 4 days, and I feel like sleeping... no one should have to work under these conditions.

I hope to get some pictures developed soon, to inspire some more blogs. It has been hard finding things to discuss, things are kinda boring at the moment... but sure to change and pick up soon.

Remembering Tim

My friend sent an email this past week while we were on vacation and I found a newslink. Just wanted to share about our friend Tim from Lambertville. It is very sad and tragic. He was great guy and one of the nicest people we met during our time trying to make friends in the small town. I got to see him everyday in the coffee shop that I worked in and he always gave us seasonal tours of his beautifully landscaped yard. And of course he was around for the night life, we could get drinks at the Hawk, which is where he was last seen, a block from our old apartment.

He was not reported missing until Tuesday.An autopsy shows the landscaper had drowned.Preliminary figures released by the Federal Emergency Management Agency estimate the flooding caused about $14 million in damage in the Garden State. FEMA says about $8 million was in Mercer County and $6 million was in Hunterdon County.The White House has yet to respond to the state's request for federal disaster assistance.

Photo Share

I just discovered this photo of Rachel and May and have to say it is one of the most beautiful photos I have seen of a mother and daughter. Just absolutely precious. This little babes are getting big!

Here are May and Natalie in May's crib- such good little friends.

Have a good weekend and next week, Ben and I are off to South Dakota to enjoy a bit of a vacation.

I'm just so tired

So, this post is long overdue, but I am just so tired that I have been skipping lunch breaks, so that I can go home earlier and nap. I was all pumped for my second trimester to begin with a huge ressurgance of energy-didn't really happen. On Saturday I was so excited, Ben relieved me from the market at 10, so I could get a nice nap in and then be productive, but instead my stupid "on call" duties, for my very intense job had to kick in because a girl at work was sick and I got stuck at the nature center. BOO!! that pissed me off, so I was tired again in the afternoon, didn't get much done and continue to feel a bit like a slug.

Camp is ending this week and then Ben and I are off to Sioux Falls. We get a week vacation that begins at my cousins wedding. I am really looking forward to the time with Ben and my family. I hope that the weather keeps cool and that I don't have to pee 3 times a night from my tent. No liquids after 5:00!

Rainy day beginning here for the camp day- no free swim! Gotta go figure out a plan.
