November

I know I said I would be better about updating this and have yet to show that I actually mean it. November is flying by so fast. We are busy here trying to get into baby mode. We are going to start on the baby's room in the next week or two and hope to have it finished by mid December. We have finally decided on paint and now need to move everything out of the room, paint, assemble the crib and dressers etc...and get everything into place. School is super busy for me right now as I am trying to fit a lot in since I am feeling a bit guilty about taking 12 weeks off and not being at Jefferson much in the Spring. Brian is busy with work as well and is going to start to be even more busy in a few short weeks. Tax season is upon us...for the wife of an accountant, I have come to learn this is a season all its own. The baby is doing great. He/She is moving like crazy and does a good job of making my belly dance daily. I am continuing to love pregnancy and amazed everyday by this little one in my stomach. We can't wait to be parents. We are looking forward to Thanksgiving and of course Christmas too:)

Fall is in the air!

Fall is here! I can't believe it is Oct already. Where has time gone? School is really in full swing now...so is cold and flu season apparently. I found myself in the ER this weekend with Strep Throat. It was miserable but I am on the mend and feeling much better. All is well with baby. We had an appt a few weeks ago and also had our big ultrasound. Everything looks great on the ultrasound and we resisted the urge to find out the sex:) I am enjoying this pregnancy so much. I have recently started feeling movements in the last few weeks and Bri has started to feel them too. It is so amazing. Big news on the workfront with Brian. Reichert Fisher is no more...it has mergerd with Brady Martz recently and everyone is very excited about it. This is a wonderful opportunity for Brian and he is excited about the future. This month we are looking forward to a trip to Fargo to see our nephews and to register for our baby stuff. We are also excited for Halloween and can't wait to hand out candy to all the kiddos!

16 Weeks

This week marks 16 weeks for us and also the start of the school year for me. We had our appt on Monday and everything looks great. We scheduled our Ultrasound for late September and are eagerly awaiting it. We are not planning on finding out if we are having a boy or girl, we like the element of surprise. Brian is busy with work and is looking forward to the fall with me. All in all things are going very well here. Lola Coconut is excited to take a walk most nights and has adjusted well to not being out of the kennel all week with me going back to work. We are excited about meeting our new nephew who is expected to arrive next week:)

Things, they are a changin:)

I apologize for not keeping this blog updated. I intend to be much better about it in the future. Where to start... we have been so busy this summer. We have been enjoying time outside, the lake, and hanging out with family and friends. We have been to Minneapolis, Chicago (just me for my cousin's wedding) and most recently Fargo for 2 weeks for a class. Life has been busy. Lola has been enjoying her summer and pretty much bakes in the sun all day and loves it. She can usually be found either in the bay window or out on the deck. The most exciting part of the summer has been...we are very excited to announce that we are expecting our first child in Feb 2010. We could not be more thrilled! We will keep everyone updated as things progress, for now we know we have a very active baby with a healthy heartbeat:) We are blessed!!!

Can you say tax season?

Well it has finally come...tax season that is. Things are busy around here. Brian is busy with work and works most Saturdays and Sundays too. The good news is, he is still enjoying his job very much. Joining Reichert Fisher was the right decision for him. School continues to keep me very busy as well. I can hardly believe that I am almost through my first year. It has been so wonderful and has exceeded my expectations. Lola Coconut continues to enjoy relaxing in the bay window and suning herself. Life is good. We are eagerly awaiting Spring! We continue to pray for my mom as she battles cancer again.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas!

Brian and I enjoyed a fabulous night out at Hairspray in Bismarck this weekend. We got some much needed shopping done. We had dinner out with some friends and took in a movie too. It was a great weekend. We are in the Christmas spirit here! We are really looking forward to some time off and time spent with family. We will stay in town for the Holidays with the exception of spending New Years skiing with my familly in the Black Hills.

Best wishes for a wonderful Holiday season!

Ready for the Holidays

Brian and I can hardly believe that it is November already. We have been home in ND for 3 months and are still loving it. We have had quite a ride already. There have been some ups and some downs, mostly ups though:) I think Brian is more excited for Christmas than I have ever seen him be. He wants to decorate early, plays Christmas music all the time, and is just fully in the spirit of things. We are looking forward to having our nephew visit for Thanksgiving and will enjoy the company of Brian's sister for Christmas. We are blessed and we try hard not to forget it. Happy Holidays!!!

In the swing of things:)

I realize it has been 1 month since our last post, which technically means we have been in ND 1 month. Man time flies. Brian and I are both enjoying our jobs so much. We have been so busy with getting our house unpacked and ready to go, spending time with family, class at DSU for me, and various projects Brian is working on at home and at work. We are loving every minute of it.

Nothing to new here, just living the dream:)

We have arrrived!

Well...we made it home. The move was pretty uneventful, sure we had some minor issues here and there but nothing major. We had tons of help and are so thankful to be done with that darn U-Haul...it was a beast. We are getting settled in and have tons of unpacking to do but we will work to get it all done by weeks end. Lola is adjusting fairly well. She seems to be liking her new house and the fabulous deck! We find ourselves loving being home but miss our friends back in Minneapolis. It feels great to be home!

1 week and counting!

One week and counting...wow, it is really here. On Friday I just could not grasp that it was my "last Friday" at Fairview. Time is really flying by. I am sure by mid-week next week I will be a complete mess trying to say goodbye to my amazing co-workers, better yet my amazing friends. Today was spent packing and starting to get the apt cleaned (again, I say started and no where near complete). I had a hair appt and when I got home I was pleasantly surprised to see that Brian had made a lot of progress on packing and had cleaned his bathroom:) We got a lot done but have plenty more to do tomorrow. We took Lola for walk tonight just before dark and talked about what we thought it might be like in a week or even two weeks. This is such an exciting time for us. We are so blessed to have this opportunity.

2 Weeks Notice!

Brian and I spent much of this weekend trying to spend time with our friends before we leave and packing. Saturday night was spent with our friends Bridgett and Josh going to Batman at the IMAX theatre. What a great show! The packing has gone better than we thought it would. After moving once at the beginning of May and now again at the end of July/beginning of August...we have come to the conclusion that we have a lot of crap:) Well maybe not crap but a lot of stuff. Two weeks from today we will be in Dickinson in our new rental house unpacking and getting adjusted. We can't wait.

Dickinson, here we come!

Well...it is official. Brian and I are moving home to Dickinson, ND in two weeks! We couldn't be more excited. It seems as though the stars have aligned. We both have wonderful jobs, a fabulous rental house, a killer lot to build on, and family family family. We are ready to see what this new adventure holds for us. We will be leaving Minneapolis on Saturday, August 9th. We hope to try to see everyone before we leave. Minneapolis has been wonderful for us but, we are ready for the next chapter in our lives:)

The first entry

I got the idea of blogging from a friend of mine, Josie...I thought it might be a fun idea. My hope is that I can keep up with blogging at least a couple times a week...stay tuned:)
