Here's the Big one!

Another great picture from the zoo!

School? yes! Which one? Maybe Kaplan. Which Program? dunno.

So, here I am. I've got a BS in Mathematics, but I just want to teach it. No teaching certification. I'm married, and I'd love to be a stay-at-home mom, but we have no children. My friends are all in debt up to their ears and I'm feeling left out. So, it's back to school for me. I've just got to figure out which track I want to follow. I'd have a much better idea if we knew where we would be going in a year.
Anyway, right now, I'm thinking MAT Iowa Certification track. If only I knew what the future held...

Aunt Sarah and Kaitlyn

Here's Andrea and John's little girl Kaitlyn.

Portraits

The gorilla dragged the blanket
around with him, even on this
warm sunny day.





The camel perfectly posed
for us as Andrea started singing
"Sally the camel has 5 humps
....so ride, Sally, ride!"

Zoo Scenery

How cool is this?! A waterfall in the middle of the zoo!

Frequent Driver Miles

For Spring break, Dan and I headed to St. Louis. On the way, Dan's car reached 100,000 miles. We pulled off to the side of the road to get picture of the milestone.
Too bad we can't get any discounts for racking up the miles!

My New Sweater

So, here's a laugh for all of you. I had an orange and a SlimFast for lunch one day last week. After I finished the orange, I picked up the can of SlimFast and shook it. Unfortunately it was open and I ended up with chocolate flavored liquid on my pretty new cream colored sweater. I'm still trying to get the stain out.

Three Years Together

February 11 was our 3rd anniversary. Time is such a strange thing. I can't believe that it's been three years already, yet I feel like we've been together our whole lives.
I noticed that I began my two greatest adventures on that date. Besides marrying a wonderful man and enjoying the great adventure of starting a family on February 11, 2006, I also arrived in the Philippines for my mission on February 11, 2003.
What more can February have in store for me?

Getting Ready

We've been hoping to become parents since we were married almost three years ago. After one miscarriage, an invasive surgery, and a few months of fertility drugs, we have decided that our first baby will be born to someone else. We are in the middle of a stack of paperwork and have a home visit scheduled this week. We're excited to meet with our social worker and get approved as soon as possible.
