exciting weekend...

This weekend was stake conference for Tupelo. Elder Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and Elder Gay an area Seventy were the visiting authorities. Mom has been freaking out all week because they were eating their meals at our house and she stresses easily, not to mention dad was on edge all week because they would be here. So while it was AWESOME to have them come, I am glad this weekend is over. There were 17 people staying at my parents' house this weekend, and that number only doubled at meal times, so it was a little overwhelming at times. We did get to see Andrew, Johanna, and most of all EVAN!!! He is such a cute kid!!! I just have to deprogram him from his Aunt Beck... We also got to see a lot of people in the stake we haven't seen in a while, so that was fun to catch up with them. My stomach is starting to show; I need to get Eric to take a picture so we can compare it to what is coming. I'm curious how big I will get... I'm also curious what we're having... Tomorrow I am going to call and set up our doctor's appointment. Hopefully we can get in for an ultrasound quickly and find out what it is!! Then I can start buying clothes and quit calling it "it" and pick out a name!! Anyways, this has been a random post full of random thoughts, but that's what you get when I feel obligated to blog...

We moved... SHOCKER!!!

So this is our 7th move in less than 3 years of marriage... yes, I am aware of how sad that is, but we have gotten to live in some pretty cool places. We've been in Tupelo for a week now, but still haven't found a place to live. We're trying to focus on getting Eric caught up in school and getting me to the doctor. Eric is back in school after taking a year off, we're excited for him to get closer to graduation again. I am practicing being a stay at home mom right now. The sickness has almost completely left now, which I am REALLY excited about! We're really excited to be back near family and spend time with them.

The Truth comes out....

Ok, so the real reason I haven't been blogging is because I only had one thing to blog about... being sick...For the past, wow, almost two months now, I've been laying in bed trying my hardest, but not always succeeding, not to throw up everything I eat (which isn't much). Eric and I found out on the 4th of July we are pregnant!! YAY!!! We are so excited!!! Eric is better at showing it than I am, mostly due to the fact that it is hard to be excited about vomiting... We are due on March 3rd and can't hardly wait! Right now we (we meaning Eric, as most days I'm still pretty sick..) are in the process of packing everything and getting ready for the long drive back to Mississippi. We both are having pretty mixed feelings about this. Before the whole sickness thing, we were having a BLAST in Florida, but now we are both ready to call it a summer and go home; however, the fact that I get carsick without being pregnant, is really not making the 12 hour drive home look very enjoyable. We are going to break it up as much as possible. We are stopping for the night in Tallahassee, then at my brother's house to visit their family a couple of days, then finally to my parents house in Tupelo! We're really excited to see family again! Just a couple more days, but what hectic days they will be. Eric has a lot of end of summer stuff to handle in the office before we leave, and pack the house, and do his school work, and take care of his pathetic wife... he's feeling a bit stretched right now and I feel really bad, but most of the time standing up alone causes other things to "come up". I just can't wait for the 2nd trimester when supposedly all this goes away... anyways... here's a picture of our little alien-looking-angel...
