Thoughts

Well, Jake and I have officially decided to start this whole blogging thing. We've had it up forever, we just hadn't posted anything, so after the prodding of Whitney and Katie, I decided I'd start. We're in Tennessee for the summer and are having fun. I like it here because it's so green and pretty that it reminds me of Alaska sometimes. :D Jake is working for APX alarms and that's been quite an adventure. I don't think we'll do it again next summer, but we have met a lot of great people here.

So two mornings ago Jake and I decided we are going to visit Alaska July 27th-August 4th. We are so excited!!! I just can't wait to be around my family and I know Jake is just as excited. We're also pretty excited about school starting. I've always gotten kind of restless during the summer. I just love the craziness and busy-ness that the school year brings. I like to go to class and I like to learn new things. I think Jake is pretty excited about his classes this semester too. We're both elated at the fact that we only have to suffer through Spanish for one more year! YAY!!! Jake has a harder time with it than I do, but he does a lot better than he gives himself credit for. I love being in school with him because we're both so competitive that we push each other to get better grades and it helps a lot. He's really sweet to me and makes stressful days wonderful and bright days even brighter. We're also very excited for this coming baseball season. We love it! I never was a baseball fan until I married Jake and saw him in those cute pants, but now it's great! It's fun to see him do what he loves to do and I can't wait for this season. I always wear one of his jerseys and bring a big, embarassing sign so all those girls know he's already got a number one fan. :D We love baseball!

So as far as baby news goes, we're pretty excited about that too. Today is our six month anniversary and we realized that I've been pregnant for half the time we've been married. Funny little fact...anyhow...everyday when we wake up we play with the little bump on my tummy. It's weird but way awesome. Today I'm pretty sure I could feel it moving around in there because something was going crazy and I was pretty sure I didn't have gas. It was like butterflies that wouldn't settle down. I'm pretty excited about this, but I'll be even more excited when I don't have to guess if I'm feeling gas or my baby. haha It'll be fun. Jake likes to look at my belly everyday and always tells me how great of a mom he thinks I'll be. He's so excited to be a daddy too. My mom and dad sent him the cutest card for father's day that he just adores and swears he's going to keep forever. He plays everything like he's a tough guy, but everytime he talks about the time that he finally gets to hold his little baby for the first time you can tell he's as soft as mashed potatoes. He'll be an awesome daddy.

Anyhow, I figure this is long enough for a first post, but we'll post again soon. Maybe even with pictures! :D:D:D
