Another 2 weeks!

The last couple weeks have been busy as usual. We were able to go out for dinner a couple of nights with friends and family. The projects around the house are nearing an end for this year!!!! YEAH!!!! The upstairs bathroom should be finished by this weekend :~) We have it tiled and the new tub put in so just need to finish with the rest of it! The worst is over :~) I just love it already!

With the weather being so nice, Aaron was able to do some trimming around the house, as well as cut down the huge evergreen in the circle in front of the house. I joke with him that it gets harder for me to breath with every branch and tree he cuts down :~) but he usually replaces them with nicer ones :~)

Aaron's ready to get back into the field for the fall. He ready for some long relaxing nights in a cab vs projects around the house!

My CNA class is nearing an end...for now. I have to wait to do my clinicals until after the baby arrives...doc advised some restrictions so the instructor informed me I'd have to wait for the safety of me and the babe. I'm bummed I can't just get it overwith but the extra time this weekend is going to be great to finish other work for my anatomy class :~) FUN FUN!

We had a great surprise on Sunday, Abby and Mike had their baby.....a boy! Nolan Bryce. Both are healthy and doing well. He was 9 lbs 8 oz and 24 inches long!!!!!! He has a head of hair and looks just like his daddy! He's a mini-mike we've been told :~)

Aaron's been battling a bad head cold for the past 5 days and now I'm starting to come down with it so looks like we may have to wait longer before we can meet the little guy so we don't get him sick!

Hope everyone is doing well! I'll post new nursary pics and bathroom pics this weekend!

Work, Work, Work!

Just catching up for the last couple weeks. Seems like Labor Day was forever ago already...but just last weekend. Our original plans changed from heading to the State Fair and enjoying a night relaxing at a hotel to staying home and working on the house. We managed to get quite a bit done and also had some time for fun. My sister, Bailey and I got a pedicure done and went out for supper one of the nights. Aaron and I spent some time out at my parents visiting and had supper on Sunday night. We met some friends out as well both Saturday and Sunday. Aaron and I visited a friend of his from college, Nicole from Truman. It was great to finally meet her and her son. Her boyfriend met up with us later as well. We had supper and they reminiced about college days...too funny stories, I learn new things every day :~) The weekend was non stop with adding studying into that. I've slowly learned that I don't learn the same way I used to in college...I could watch a movie, drink a beer, chat on the phone and visit with roommates all while studying and still comprehend what just crossed my eyes. Now, the slightest distraction and I can't remember anything about the last page I read! (I think it's partially the baby too!)

The week days went by like usual. We basically finished the nursery!!!! Vickie ( Aaron's mom) is going to wax the floor for us then I'll post a pic next time. I've been studying all weekend and Aaron has been an absolute saint! He has basically been working on the house by himself....Les and Adam have been over to assist as well. We went out for supper last night with a big group of friends. It was nice to see everyone together. It's been awhile...like a year for one of the couples! We ate at a new bar/resturant in Balaton. Actually was quite nice...great atmosphere, you wouldn't expect.

Looks like it'll be another fast week again. Won't be too long before we'll be posting baby pic's! Make life a little more interesting! Hope everyone is doing well :~)
