Family Time. . .

  It's been amazing having Jordan back (physically and mentally). We missed him so much while he was working so hard towards his promotional tests. He is still trying to wind down from all the studying though. He finds himself going over all the material in his head and then remembers that he's done and doesn't need to be thinking about it anymore. Or if he sees a fire hydrant or a certain street sign it will spark his mind to start rambling off information about that certain color of hydrant and the specific laws regarding the street signs we pass. So in the process of all this, I have learned quite a bit from his random thoughts as we are driving. I'm still so proud of his huge accomplishment. I'm interested to see what's next for him. Because you know Jordan, he doesn't sit still for long.

  We got to go to the coast one day and ride. It was a beautiful day. I had so much fun playing and riding with Austyn. She absolutely loved it. After we were done riding, my parents took Austyn home and Jordan and I drove to Lincoln City and stayed the night. It was so nice and relaxing. We stayed at an ocean front motel so we could hear the ocean all night. Very cool.

Jordan thought that since we didn't have Austyn it would be a 

good idea to HIKE (need I say more) down to see the Devil's

Churn. Why after 10 years of being with the man do I not know

 better by now? Needless to say, it was quite a hike out for a 

7 month prego lady who isn't and wasn't in any kind of shape 

to begin with.Yes, it was pretty to see. Would I do it again? NO!

(This might be your one and only belly shot)

This was before the hike out :)

  Still waiting on permits and financing. But we aren't being impatient, because we are continuing to save money in the while we are waiting. Hope everyone is doing great. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
