GOOD NEWS!!

We got a full-time job. Ben is coming back to Utah and taking the CO job that he turned down in August. The best news is that his boss told him that he could come back to Utah at Thanksgiving...for good!! That's only 2 weeks away!! Ben called and told me today to tell me the news and he was so excited. Now, I wonder why we took the job in Oregon, because we are just coming back to Utah in the end. I know though that Ben made some great contacts with biologists there in Oregon and hopefully one day down the line we'll be able to get back there.

He has some odd job stuff lined up here in Utah so he doesn't go crazy with 3 weeks off, since I'm still in school. Thanksgiving we are going to start checking out apartments near Salt Lake so that Ben doesn't have to travel an hour to work every morning and evening. It will be nice to finally live together again. It's been a strange few months!

It's been a great day and I'm excited to finally get my Ben back!!

33 down, 7 to go

Ben got to come back to Utah for Halloween weekend. It was great to see him and spend time together. I've been wanting to take some belly shots, but keep forgetting. I finally remembered to have Ben take some of me. The belly is getting quite massive. However, it does come it quite handy sometimes. Such as while playing football! No one in my class wants to grab my flags, cause they don't want to hurt the baby!! I almost scored a touchdown.

The waddling has increased also. My body aches and my face is getting fatter!! Only 7 more weeks and then I can start the whole losing baby weight thing.

As for the baby (abe/maxwell) is weighing about 5 lbs and is about 16 inches long. He is quite an active baby as he is constantly kicking now, especially at night. It really is strange to think there is an actual baby inside of me. I don't like to think about it coming out of me! :-)

Little update on Ben. He is still working up in Oregon. Wwe recently got the same job offer to come back to Utah and be an Conservation Officer. We should find out about the Oregon job within the job. Hopefully we will be deciding what we are doing pretty soon. His temp job is half over and then he's back for good!

Trick or Treat

Happy Halloween! This year Ben and I got to hand out candy to all the kids in Peter and Amber's neighborhood while they were all out trick or treating. Ben had a fun time running to the door with the candy to hand out! It's going to be fun next year when we all get to go trick or treating together, all 3 of us.
