Monday: recycling

This morning I wanted to get the kitchen all clean. We don't have a good place to put the recycling, so it just sits on the counter until I bring it out to the garage. So while cleaning I took out all the recycling...it ended up being two trips because I brought some pop cans out too.

Then I found a can lid I missed. Trip three.

Then I found four pieces of paper I missed. Trip four.

Then I went into the bathroom and realized I had recycling there too. I decided that since it was still in the bathroom I could leave it there for another day.

Sunday: I guess I was tired

So after Dominion we got home around 6:30. Ben and I were reading in bed, but I decided to take a nap because I was so tired. Three and a half hours later (10:15) I finally woke up. I continued reading and whatnot, waiting for Ben to come to bed. He came to bed a little later than normal, but it worked well. So I was asleep again around 1am. I woke up briefly when Ben got up for work and got some raspberries, but was feeling tired so I thought I'd just close my eyes. When they finally opened again at 10:45 I was rather surprised. I guess I needed a lot of extra sleep.

Saturday: telling more people

Today we told most of the rest of the family (sorry Nathan). In the morning we surprised Dad and Pat at their house, saying that we stopped by because Ben had to get some recordings in the car. But they were obviously very happy once we told them. I didn't really have a cool way to tell them.

Then we told Ben's siblings while waiting for the pizza to arrive...Ben brought up how it was nice to see the room where Autumn had been born since we'll be there in January. It was fun to watch the faces as they comprehended what Ben just said.

Sunday: Dominion

Good evening! Today we went to a church called Calvary that we liked...we'll probably go back again at least once. I think it'd be interesting if we ended up at another church called Calvary.

In the afternoon we played Dominion with Travis and Allison. It was interesting playing it with four people instead of two. Some of the cards work better (or worse).

Saturday: yard work

Today we helped with some yard work at Jamie's. I won't call it fun, but it wasn't bad either. It was nice to do it with family. We were going to grill, but it was raining so we had pizza instead. It actually was a light rain for most of the time we were there, but not enough to stop us.

Friday: a first time for everything II

Today was also the first day we told anyone we were pregnant. We went to a movie (Fast Five) with Larry and Cheryl and then out to dinner. In the movie one of the women is pregnant and so Ben goes...

"Well, they did get some things in that movie correct. Like how morning sickness isn't just in the morning, as we've been finding out recently."

They were pretty excited. :)

Friday: a first time for everything

Today I mowed a lawn for the first time. Ever. It might not have turned out great, but at least most of the weeds (and grass) are shorter.
