ok...FRESH new start....



So a lot has happened since I last posted.

Jake did NOT get the BYU job, instead he got a job here at Vanderbilt.  He is doing this advising program for undergraduates which he only has to do for like 2 months out of the year and then he gets to teach a class in the Spring semester and that's it.  He could goof off for the entire time in between and get paid for it.  Of course he would never do anything like that...  It is basically a sweet set up AND we didn't have to move all of our books!  That would have been a pain, reason enough to not want to move.  He can renew up to two more years so we could be here for another 3 years if he doesn't get a teaching position somewhere else.

Oh, and another thing, Jake and I are gonna have a kid!  We are pretty excited about it.  I have been absolutely miserable, but I keep telling myself that I wanted this.  We have an ultrasound scheduled for next Monday to find out if it is a boy or girl.  I personally think it's a boy, not sure why, but I just do.  Jake and I keep joking that the poor kid is gonna come out looking like a bobble head doll, nothing but feet and head. 

The due date is Dec 8th, which is my birthday.  I may just cross my legs for a couple days so it can be born on 12-12-12!  Yeah, we'll see how that goes.
