OK, well it’s not brand new, it’s a used Subaru Outback station wagon, but hey, that’s just semantics… this past weekend, we found a car to buy. We will get it at the end of August.

I am starting to realize that I might really, actually, be a grown-up now. I have a house, a station wagon, and in 7 weeks, I’ll have a baby. It seems like just yesterday I was in high school going on ramen noodle runs before calculus, or in college going to midnight organ/a capella concerts, or just starting my teaching career (and working nights and weekends). Now, I am in the middle of this stage of life that I always thought looked good, but was for people older than me. (Maybe I should have taken a hint at the whole turning 30 thing…)

But seriously, it is very exciting to be getting everything ready for this next big adventure. Now we have a place to put the stroller, so we can come visit all of you and go on long walks.

On a different note, I am really enjoying my summer camp job, though it can be exhausting at times. Still it keeps me busy and keeps my mind off my ever expanding stomach. Most days I feel great (though some I do wish that Roger could take a turn with the whole child brearing thing…) I can still see my feet (though I have to bend forward a little) I can still tie my shoes, and the summer has been a fairly mild one so far (fingers crossed!)

I have been catching up with friends, getting as many visits in as I can before I am much, much busier. It has been great to see those of you I have seen, and I hope to see the rest of you all soon!

That’s all for now, I’ll try to get up some new belly pictures soon!
