Argh
I just found out that my favorite aunt, who lives in California, whom I haven't seen since Dec 05 when she meant Timmy, is coming to town...the same weekend we are going to Columbus - ugh. I still haven't heard exact arrival and departure times, but hopefully there will be a few hours where we can actually see each other.

Catching up.....
So lots of things have happened in the two and a half months since we last put up a blog. I guess we're both just lazy. Blogging isn't as much fun without a laptop. But since more than one person has said, 'yo, what's up with the blog?", here are some highlights:
I turned 28 in January. I'm feeling good about 28. Not sure why, but I do. I'm excited. But I have to admit, growing older is easier being married.
A few days after my birthday, we spent the weekend with friends from Pittsburgh. We rented a cabin: seven people, two dogs, lots of games, some GSN, and a small hike. That's where Timmy's new Facebook pictures came from. Funny story from that weekend, but I only feel comfortable sharing with my lady friends. I'm not going to blog about it. Sorry, but if you are a girlfriend and you want to know, ask me next time you see me.
Speaking of Pitt people, Megan's pregnant - que emocion, yay. So excited, seriously. It's been a while since I was so excited to hear someone was pregnant. They told us in December. They are due the first week in September. Then a week later, I find out my niece is pregnant - shocker. No seriously, shocker. Sat in silence for a few minutes unable to say anything. She's due in early September. Then a few weeks ago, I find out that my friend Janice from college is pregnant - what? Guess when she is due? That's right September. I asked Timmy, "where were we when they were all making babies?" He turned to me and with this look I can't quite describe, but if you know Timmy, you can probably guess, he turned and said, "Um, we're on the pill." It's true; I can't argue with that.
So those three pregnancies are on top of the at least five that I know of from BRV.This week when Rich told me Jess was pregnant, I told him "please don't tell me she's due in September." I think he was thrown off a little about the question. And there were eight babies dedicated on Sunday. And more could have been dedicated. I'm telling you - babies everywhere.
And it gives me a little itch, but not enough of an itch to start trying for a baby now. We have discussed it. In the future we will try. For now, Jessie is enough of a baby - literally. She still can't be left alone so our schedule revolves around her. I don't know what we would do if the Kaisers didn't live five minutes away.
But for all of her issues, she's so worth it. And how could she not have issues; she's adopted. Who knows what her life was before she came to our loving home. I try not to think about it too much, but it's hard not too with Animal Channel and those Pedigree adoption commercials, and those Sarah McLachlan SPCA ads. I cried the first time I saw them. Now my comfort is the fact that Timmy and I are playing our part. We adopted a dog and we love her and care for her. She is a part of my family. And not just me and Timmy family. The Kaisers love her. I know if anything happened to me and Timmy, they would take her and wouldn't let anything happen to her. And she's a part of the BRV family. She comes to the church with me when Timmy is at work. Mark loves her! He comes into my office, throws himself on the floor, and plays/fights with her. She loves it.
Random note: A few weeks ago, Timmy and I saw Caedmon's Call and Derek Webb in concert. Caedmon's were good; they were enjoyable but there were a few things I could have done without. However, Mr. Webb - wow. I really love his music. I find myself thinking more about his lyrics than anyone else except maybe Andrew (Peterson, that is, another obsession thanks to Timmy). So, we have spent the last few weeks buying cds and downloading songs. Good stuff. Really good stuff. Currently, listing to "King and A Kingdom" from Mockingbird. Ew. Offensive. I love it.
Do you know what today is?........let's just say that one week from today, Timmy and I will leaving Jessie with our parents and going away for a few days. Can you believe it's been two years? Wow.
JJ just let out a belch that could have come out of a big drunk guy at a frat party. It's gross, but it also makes me smile. She's a lot like me :) Alright, that's it for now. I need a little snack and The View is on.

Where Have I Been That I Didn't Know?
Rent's closing. Ugh. And of course the first thought that came to mind, "Gotta figure out when I can go." I told myself I wouldn't spend $70 to see a show I have already seen four times on Broadway, but...how could I not go see it one more time? Alright, now I need just think this through, look at my calendar, talk to some people. Sad.
