Sigh no more Ladies, Sigh no more...

My favorite version of Much Ado about Nothing was on TV yesterday, hence the title. :)

This update is being brought to you in list form... because listing things is fun, and easier to do when a toddler is attached to you.

Also.. I can't believe the last time I update this blog was when Gunner was born.. but little boys tend to keep One a bit busy.   ..anyway...

1.) I'm not sure if its the reverse culture shock (Which is NO JOKE, by the way), or some sort of new-found enlightenment, but Facebook just hasn't seemed super appealing to me since arriving back in the States. So if you want to know what is going on with us, you might have to actually call me and talk to me. Ha. Sorry.

2.) Gunner got to play in snow for the first time ever, yesterday! He had fun chasing the dogs around in it.. though, when I tried to show him that you can actually EAT snow, he laughed and looked at me like I was the most uncivilized person he had ever met. haha.

3.) We will be running around like crazy the next two days because we are taking off on Tuesday for DC to pick up Tesla!!! The awesome President of Harding and his wife have invited us to fly with them in Harding's private plane since they are headed to the Capitol anyway. We'll stay there and get to spend lots of time with my sister Rena and her family (Yay!!!) before bringing Tesla back on the same 12-seater (?) plane on the 3rd. Hopefully the weather will be calmer then, since a tiny plane in freezing rain and snow really doesn't sound fun. Prayers for safe travel will be hugely appreciated!

4.) Prayers for the husband would be wonderful, too. Days must seem even longer to him while we're apart and now he won't even have Tesla at home. :( Though, she did just start her season so I'm betting he is pretty excited about not having to deal with doggy undies the next 2 weeks. You're welcome, Kyle. haha. He's going to drop her off at Silver Birch Kennels on the 27th where our pet courier will set up her crate and get ready to drive her to London and check her in to her flight. I'm sure both Kyle and I will be nervous wrecks until I pick her up. We are VERY attached to that dog and so is Gunner! He's going to be over the moon to get his good girl back. :)

5. This may be TMI for silly people, but according to Babycenter my uterus is the size of a soccer ball and I'd say I concur. It already feels like this child is running out of room... but everything looks great so far and my next appointment is Feb 8th. I am planning on having the baby in Las Cruces after we move, but my OB here has said to be prepared if he advises me that I shouldn't leave. Hopefully there will be no problem and I'll get to have my desert baby. Showing up right before having a baby is a little daunting but the hospital there is supposed to be very supportive of your wishes ( like when I say "You're going to HAVE to induce me... probably early... and no I don't want an epidural.")

6. As long as nothing insane happens in the next couple of days, we should have a house waiting for us when we get to New Mexico! The rent in that area is ridiculous (Thank you German Air Force), so it has been a challenge but after weeks of research, calling, requesting videos, haggling, and learning all about water softeners and swamp coolers, I finally located a great house not far from base! We are so relieved and excited to be able to settle into a home right when we get there, and to have a place to bring the new baby home to! I can't believe we'll be moving into our 4th house as a married couple! We will have lived on  Street, a Square, a Drive, and now an Avenue!

Hopefully this has been a sufficient update.. Now to lay out a certain toddler's church clothes for the morning! Know that you are loved!!
