So you read the books, ask around, take the classes but there is nothing that can really prepare you for pregnancy. Though they give what we’ll call….gentle warnings, they don’t really tell you how it is. So I’m going to. They say, you will probably experience morning sickness during the first trimester. What they…
For those who didn’t already know, getting pregnant proved to be no easy task for me. After months of trying to figure out what my body was doing…or not doing…I went to the Student Health Center where I had one of my first ever successful visits. Finally, one of the doctors seemed to know what…
Ok. Now it is official. Ok maybe it was official a while ago but now I can share. I’m pregnant! Some of you already caught on, so congratulations. As of today, I am 12 weeks and going strong. Well, maybe not strong but still going. Here is a picture of the little bug. It was…
about American Idol. 1. Top 36 finalist. What the heck?! 12 is even too many. 2. The new “save” rule. Hey, if you’re out, you’re out. Besides if you are really that good and you get kicked off, you’re probably better off because you’ll do well and won’t have to pay royalties to Simon. 3….

A few of you asked where we would be living in California this summer. Well, the exact spot is yet to be determined. But Apple is located in Cupertino. Never heard of it? Yeah, me either. But here is a map to give you an idea. Cupertino is the "A", in case you’ve never…
Ok, ok…so I lied. When I posted the last entry we actually knew exactly where we would be for the summer. We just had to tell a few certain people before I put up a post because it just wouldn’t have been as much fun for them to find out this way. Devin got an…
Ah, the internship. The goal this summer was for Devin to get another internship and with any luck, get one where he would be doing something besides programming like he did last summer. He got a return offer from Exxon but rejected it because he felt like he needed to diversify his experiences. He’s been…
I figured since everyone else is posting their Valentines Day activities, I should to. First let me say, I really don’t care too much for the holiday. I mean, I love it because I get to spend dedicated time with my sweetie, but I hate all the commercial crap that goes along with it. I’ve…
