bad day?

I was having a bad day on Tuesday until Dustin showed me this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg

It made me feel so much better and i laughed until I had tears.

What's in a name?

We finally set up the crib yesterday for the baby! I can't believe that in like 6 weeks he will be here! He meaning we have no official name picked out yet!

I never realized how hard it would be to pick out a name! Everytime I think of a name and decide it's a good one we change our minds. People have told me that you really won't know until he comes and then it will just come to you! I'm praying that's the case. We do have a few names to choose from but we'll just have to wait and see.

Another thing that I was not aware of is that I never thought in a million years I would be so anxcious to get this baby here! These last few weeks have seemed to take forever! Just hurry up and get here already!

Proud!

It was this day 7 years ago. It started out as a normal day, I was getting ready for school and I heard the news. The twin towers had been hit. My heart has never ached so much for so many people I did not even know. It is this day every year for the rest of my life that I will remember what happened. God Bless everyone who lost their lives or a loved one that day 7 years ago. You will always be remember and you will all be missed. Thank you to all of those who are or who have fought for our country. It is because of you we are FREE. And it is because of you I am proud to be an American!

Randomness

Have you ever had one of those days or weeks in your life where you just don't know? It seems lately that I get up in the morning and I just don't know about the day. I don't care about what is happening around me and I just want to stay in bed forever and stay snuggled up with the dog! Maybe it's just getting to that point in my pregnancy and it's normal?! I'm not sure. Work is so crazy this week again and when I wake up in the morning I just don't care to go to work. And even if I do have the ambition to go to work when I get there I just don't care what's happening! Only 8 weeks left of my pregnancy! We are super excited and I can't wait! Soon we start moving into the new house and we can get the baby's room set up! Yay!

Winter already?

September 3, 2008...that is the correct date right? It's not November? Or even October? I woke up this morning and it felt a bit chilly....so I turn the television on to our trusty weather channel and what do I find the temperature to be? 40 degrees outside! Yup that's right 40 degrees! Little chilly wouldn't you say? So for the first time in a very long time I put on long pants and socks and closed toe shoes! I even put on a light leather jacket. So I'm driving to work and I see this guy walking along side the road near our university here. He is completely dressed in a parka with gloves and a stocking cap! This dude is soooo not going to make our winters here!

Onto another story. I got a call at work a couple of weeks ago from a woman who is going to move here from Seattle for the work in the oil industry. These are just some of the questions she asked:

What is the date that the snow starts to fall? I'm sorry I can't give you an exact date. One year we had 15 inches of snow October 5, last year it didn't snow until the end of November.

How cold does it get there? The air temperature can get to -30 and the windchill can be colder than that.

What is a windchill? Look it up on the internet please!

So what does -30 feel like? Bring a scarf, it's cold!

I'm all for the oil industry and I think it will bring great things to Minot, but if you are going to move here from somewhere.....BE PREPARED TO BE COLD!
