It's November! I can't believe it. That's crazy. It feels like the year just started, like Jason and I just moved into our first apartment, and like the school year was just about to begin. Now we're in our second apartment, and we're both off-track. Wow.
Anyway, since last updating, lots of things have happened!
Jason and I went on a week-long trip towards the end of October. Well, it's more like two, because we both left Rexburg at the same time, but we went separate places: I went to Ohio, where my family lives, and Jason went to Las Vegas to visit his oldest sister, Holly. The reason for the separation is that I was the only one going to leave originally - my family was going to have a baby shower for me, and figured Jason was going to have work and not be able to come with me. Well, Jason figured that he didn't want to be home by himself, so he went to visit Holly! Going home for me was really fun, but that was the longest I'd ever been apart from Jason. We've both decided we're not doing that again, and that if either of us goes anywhere for more than a day or two, the other is going with them! :)
When we got home from our trips, Jason worked a few more days doing the landscaping thing, and then stopped working the last day of the month. We both decided that with the weather changing (and with him not having a definite day when the landscaping job would end), it would be best for him to stop working there then so that he could get another job closer to home with a definite day he could start. Perfect timing too - Melaleuca called him during his last day of work and told him that they'd love to have him work for them now because they had a job opening! Hurray! I mean, it's only a hot-shot shift, meaning he only works 5 days out of the entire month, but it's still a job. He's been training for that since Monday, going from 4-10 pm each time. Those aren't my favorite hours for him to be gone, but it's just for this week.
The elections... well, what can I say? I'm not very happy with the presidential, senate, or house results (yeah, I'm not a democrat...), but I CAN say that I'm happy that Proposition 8 passed in California. Thank heaven above! At least one good thing happened on Tuesday night, right? I'm just concerned for the future of our country, especially since it'll be in the hands of people who want to take us straight into socialism. I didn't vote for that. *sigh*
And I'm 32 weeks. 8 more weeks to go, and I'm starting to get nervous. Nervous about the labor, nervous about the lack of sleep, and the multitude of diapers that will need to be changed on a changing table we don't have. Oh, the joys of being poor students! Don't worry though - I know we'll survive it, and having our first son will be well worth any sacrifice. :)
Yay for November.
