School is starting on Tuesday!! Can you tell I’m excited? The kids have been driving me nutso because they’re so bored waiting. I’m so glad it starts soon. Haha. Andreah will be starting kindergarten this year. I’m very excited for her, but I’ll miss my bug during the day! Ethan will be in 4th grade and it just seems so crazy that he’s already in 4th grade!

On the pregnancy front, I’m starting to feel more symptoms. You see, as many of you already moms know, you get super smell when you’re pregnant. Well, I’ve been able to escape the whole getting sick because of this super sense.. until now. Today I smelled some of the Velvetta Shells and cheese we had with dinner and yeah.. it was not good. This whole pregnancy thing is new to me, but I have lots of people to refer to. I think just about everyone knows now. Well, not everyone, but anybody who needs to knows. We told Jim’s dad and his wife tonight and they were the last of the lot.

It’s still kinda weird thinking I’m pregnant. Other than the random symptoms, I dont feel pregnant. It’s kinda weird. But so much that I was feeling before I found out makes sense. I thought I was just getting the flu. My body has been achy, and I’ve been so fatigued.

My husband is so cute about it. He’s very excited about it. From sending me texts messages that say “Love you and our baby!” or “Kisses for you and baby.” to coming home from work and grabbing my belly and saying “Hi Baby!!” He even kisses my belly goodnight. Haha. It’s adorable.

Well, scratch off the whole trip to Six Flags… I found out I’m pregnant! =) I’m 5 weeks right now. We did, however, go ahead and get the cell phones, so thats good.

On the job front for me.. well, my interview went fantastic. Everyone was super impressed with me… but.. there was an in house applicant as well. Still haven’t heard for sure, but when I told them today I was pregnant, they said “Well, I dont know if we could accomodate for you.” Yeah, I’m devistated to say the least.

Blah, why does bad news always come right after good news?

Planning this honeymoon is taking a lot more work than I thought, haha. We’ve got our hotel booked, game tickets for the Giants vs. the Rockies (with TIMMY PITCHING! HECKYES!) We’re also hoping to hit up Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, too. I’m trying to decide if the flash pass is worth the money or not. Normally standing in the lines at those places.. well.. it sucks.. and normally we dont get to ride as many rides as we want to. Hmm.. I think it’d be worth it. And for the other days we’re there, we’re going to be total tourists. Alcatraz, Lombard Street, you name it, we’ll be doing it, haha. The last time I went, we just walked around.. we didn’t get to experience anything. So this time I’m determined to experience all the tourist trap spots, haha. We’ll be taking a drive down the 49 mile scenic drive. And we’re going to the aquarium, the zoo, and the exploratorium. I’m very excited about getting to visit there. The countdown has already begun!

In other news, Jim got a promotion at his job. Woohoo! Came with a nice $2 raise, too. So now we’re cancelling our home phones and getting cell phones instead. I’m pretty excited, actually. Considering we live in a rural area, I need to actually go out and about and see which is best around here. We found a phone we both absolutely loved– but they dont offer service out here. Damn them. So its a search. I know I dont want to go with Verizon– if I can avoid it, I will. My parents used to have Verizon.. and I remember being up in Virginia City (Nevada), and they had no service. Meanwhile, me, on Sprint, had full coverage. Their coverage blew. And the main reason I would refuse, is when my mom wanted to cancel her phone and just use my dads, they gave her hell and the “manager” of the kiosk basically called my mom dumb. My mom literally had to restrain me. I wish I would have knocked his lights out. Bah. I hear that most of the time, people in their stores are just like that guy. So yeah, if I can avoid giving Verizon business.. I will. Further research is required.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a position I put in for. I’m hoping that it’ll get the job as it will be a great opportunity for me. I’m keeping positive. Thats all I can tell you for now, at least until I hear whether or not I get the job!

So, I’ve acccomplished some things in terms of the website recently. I’m not a big fan of writing those About me pages. They always seem to come out pretty lame to me. Nobody really cares about the whole life story, or for me to tell them that I’m basically like a guy– a huge pervert and I love watching baseball. I’ve written one about.. three different times and deleted all of them. I just cannot seem to figure out a style I like. Bah.

My husband and I were married on September 13th of 2008. We did not have a honeymoon at the time. So this year, we kinda just glanced at each other and said “We need a vacation for.. just us.” We’ve planned it for our one year wedding anniversary and knew exactly where we would be going… San Francisco. You see, we’re both pretty big SF Giant’s fans. So we’ll be going to the game on the 14th against the Rockies. But we’ll also be spending some quality time together– just the two of us. I’m super excited.

If you’re here, you should really visit Ashli cause she rocks. So go ahead, get on out of here and visit her… NOW.
