Our craig's list find . . .

  So Jordan and I went to Fletcher's the other day to pick a few things up and the sales lady started showing us this really cool stroller (They're like vultures. They just hover around until they spot your weakness) . So since we hadn't really decided on what kind to get we were interested in her sales pitch. She got us hook, line, and sinker! She showed us the BOB! Unbeknownst to us it was way over our price range (that's why they don't have price tags on them!!). What a let down. She totally had us sold on it. It was like the Rolls Royce of strollers. I think they must work on commission in that store :) Anyways, it seemed like from then on every stroller we saw was a BOB. You know when you really want something and you know you can't get it. Then you see it everywhere. It was torture. So I got on Craig's list one night and BAMM!!!! There is was. A slightly used BOB stroller. I drove up to Portland the next morning and brought it home. I'm pumped! What a deal. 
The BOB!

  We had our doctors appointment on Tuesday. Everything measured fine and is going good. Just doing the waiting game now.

  Our wood is stacked! Can you believe it. Thanks to Jordan and his buddies we will survive the winter : ) Thank you everyone for helping. I'm sure glad Jordan has friends.

This is almost half full.





A little more. . .

8.4 cords of wood (they stacked 5.6 cords)
The crew! Thanks guys.
  Jordan's family from Utah was here for a week and we got to see them quite a bit. They always run the scandia run and wanted Jordan to run it with them. So at the last minute (literally like five minutes before they left our house) Jordan decided to run. This was funny to me because he's not a runner. AT ALL!!! But whatever, I knew I wasn't going to run it. So I gave him some baby powder and away he went. I have to admit I thought it would take him much longer than it did. By the time I got there to watch him finish he was done. Did I mention it was a 10K. He finished in 56 minutes!! Wholly cow, that's amazing. I guess I have to eat my words and admit to being wrong. He is in great running shape. I think his only regret is not putting enough baby powder on (can you say chaffy!!). I think this will probably turn into a family tradition. And I might do the scandia walk next year with our BOB stroller (don't hold me to it though). We also took the bronco to the coast while they were here too. It was a lot of fun. We love that bronco.

Here's Jordan and Josh deciding what shoes he should wear


Deodorant, a runners best friend.

Here's everyone that ran

This is after the race

Here we are at the coast.

Jordan was helping somebody that got stuck

This is Cole our nephew. He really enjoyed the bronco too.

  Well it keeps getting closer and closer. I can't believe how fast the whole pregnancy has gone. This last month will be a quick one. I think I'm about as prepared as I could possibly be. I can tell that she's getting bigger in there. She is starting to make it a little uncomfortable for me when she tries to stretch out. One of my coworkers called the other day and said they wanted to throw me a pot-luck/shower. I thought that was really nice. I'm really excited for it. It will be fun to see everyone again. I bet they will think I'm huge compared to the last time they've seen me. Which by then it will be about two months.

Here we are at 35 weeks.
(And just to let everyone know, I managed to squeeze into
this outfit. It's not maternity!)
 A little different than the next picture at 24 weeks.

This is me at 24 weeks

  More to come later. Hope all is well. I should only have one or two more post before she gets here. And then there will really be something to share with everyone (if time permits, I'm going to do my best).
