So.....

There are so many things I want to write about but it's taken me 45 minutes to change my blog and I've lost the patience so..... this will be short.

First, I have to tell Rachel, I absolutely love reading your blog. You have such cute stories and the way you write is so vocal. I feel like you and I are talking face to face! Wendie, I'm so glad you joined the blog bandwagon. Melissa, the blessing pictures are adorable and your backyard looks fabulous! Mary, Carson is getting so big-I love his new pictures. Dana and Shanti, are you guys ready to have a huge get together cause we're coming soon!!!

Secondly, I don't have a floating baby on my screen because I think it looks cool,(I actually think it looks a little weird) but because yes indeed, we are pregnant! January 30th is the due date and we just had our doctor's visit yesterday and baby is looking good. We even got a cute picture of her. Yes, her. Mother's instinct. We'll have to wait and see how in tune my instinct really is!! The kids are really excited and Ali is praying "please please please let it be a sister." Ali really wants to share a bunk bed with her. Telling the kids about the pregnancy is another funny story but that will have to wait. I am getting sleepy.

Thirdly, we are planning on moving back to Utah very soon. We feel so grateful and blessed to have lived here in Illinois and to have made such WONDERFUL friends! We will truly miss you guys and PLEASE know that if you are ever coming out west, you can definately stay with us, except for.... just kidding! Mom and Dad, I've got to publicly say "thank you" from the bottom of my heart. It doesn't seem like much after all that you have done for us. It takes a village to raise a child, but it takes great grandparents to raise a family. You have helped so much in raising Eli, Ali and Isaac and I know that they will remember the times they shared with you. You both have taught Ben and I so much and we will be eternally grateful for your sacrifices. You two are the best parents and We love you so much!! Don't forget we will always be a phone call away and you can visit anytime!

Okay, I'm getting teary eyed and I don't want to cry because then my nose will get stuffy and I won't be able to go to bed because I can't breathe and then my lips will get super chapped because I'm breathing out of my mouth and ........((DEEP BREATH)) I think I'm finished. Till next month!! Haa Haa.
