Jeremy and I are heading to Utah this weekend to visit the kids and celebrate their birthday's. We are very excited to go. We purchased bikes for them and so we are driving Grandpa Jim's truck out to Utah just so we can enjoy a weekend with the bikes, only to bring them back to Colorado with us. It sounds kind of mean but I think they will appreciate having bikes in Colorado to roam Mead with when they come and visit us this summer. We will enjoy spending time with them for 1/2 the summer.
We have packing to do and we need to go get the truck tomorrow, so Jeremy surprised me by having a early Valentine dinner tonight. I had to take a picture because it just looked so pretty on the plate. It was not only pretty but very very delicious.
I really am getting into this blogging thing. I have always been a very good journal writer and now this has turned into my journal. It is nice to know that some people are reading it every once in awhile but really I think it is cool to just do it for myself.
I am excited to have my son read it and see how I was feeling during his pregnancy and the different things that went on. I talk to him now all the time. On the pregnancy at 21 weeks e-mail that I received a few days ago, it says the baby's hearing is developed and can hear you. So now I talk to him quite often. I think we are going to be pretty good friends. I have been reading aloud a lot because that is one good thing they say to do as well. So if he is prone to read girl novels when he is older, I will know that he was listening!!
Life is just so much fun! I am as giddy as a school girl! Teaching is going really well and it is nice to feel so much better. I have been exercising in the mornings and that feels good to. I turn on my ipod and listen to all my favorite songs and march and dance around my room before I get ready for work. It is a little something but for the last week I have done it, I feel so much happier.
Speaking of exercise, along with the bikes for the kids, Jeremy and I decided to buy a treadmill as a Valentine's day present for ourselves. I am excited to get moving on it....at a slow pace during the pregnancy and then to have it after the boy has left to the outside world. Jeremy is excited to and vows he is going to use it too. I really hope he does. I love my husband with all my heart but sometimes I worry about his health. He has been nervous about his high blood pressure and resting heart rate and he really wants to improve his cardio fitness, so until we both get into the habit we are going to put the treadmill in the family room right in front of the T.V, so we are always reminded. We don't have that many vistors so, at least for 6 months or so, we are going to let it stare us in the face!

I love reading your journal. I'm so happy for you Nic that things are going well for you. Come visit Cali and go to Disneyland with all the kids! Wow, that surprise dinner looks ummmmmum...good. Remember to drink plenty of water. I know work gets busy and sometimes we forget to but drink when in doubt even when you can't drink anymore this will prevent cramping and other problems. Oh, and keep taking prenatal. Call me Doc. hehe. just looking out for my friend that's all. Having a baby around changes everything but in a very good way. It's a lot of work but oh so much fun at the same time. I can't wait for your boy to enter into the world. I know you guys will make it fun and worth being here for. How exciting!
I can't believe you married a cook! That dinner looks amazing. Now I am hungry, thanks.
You will love having a treadmill. It is just nice to have, especially with kids. Put the little man down for a nap and walk or go for a jog on the treadmill as you crank up the volume on the TV. Hopefully yours isn't as loud as ours.
