luck

Hi again!

I have perspective now. I apologize if my posts have seemed negative or depressing! I really am the luckiest girl in the world. I have true love, and a loving family, and lots of friends and sweet puppies and now I'll be having a baby too! How many people can say that? I am extremely fortunate.

Dave and I have always been very lighthearted and silly with eachother, and we're both so independent that I doubt the upcoming stresses will change that. We can always see the humor and ridiculousness of things, and we can each laugh with ourselves and one another. I know it will be hard, but I'm sure we can do it. And--most of all IT'S TEMPORARY. Four years maximum.

In pregnancy news, I really feel like (I imagine) a boneless chicken (would feel). Like twist the wrong way or get up just so and do something crazy to your back. Thankfully nothing bad has happened. But I've always been very conservative with physical things. Other than that, my Gatorade and Salt Festival seems to be working, as does just putting my feet up at night. At least I can sleep now :)

I talk to Dave all the time. He's happy today because he visited his parents over the weekend and they gave him delicious food like pecan pie and breakfast cassarole. And a bunch of household things for our temporary house. So--it's a tiny bit more homey for him now. They gave him a TV and he even has cable and everything. I get to see him in 9 DAYS--woo hoo!

In doggie news, it's MUCH NICER to walk each dog separately. They are like miracle dogs they're so behaved when they're alone with me. There's no big secret, and I'm not some really talented dog wizard--it really is the collar and just following what Cesar says to do. His ideas really work.

I'm starting to look forward to living in Virginia--even though I've been TEARY about leaving Seattle.

Oh my God--this is in our neighborhood and we're members automatically:

Dave is really excited about playing golf :)

More soon!
