Austin Changes

So of course right when I post about Austin, everything changes. Unfortunately, Cory found out today that we can not go to Austin in February anymore because the other LT here cannot get his TDY dates changed. So now we are going in March, hopefully.

Just thought you should all know. Please pray for my own peace in this situation especially with the Air Force.

Not yet...and Austin!

I have debated on blogging until the baby is born because I konw so many people are just waiting. I know because I am one of them, but I also keep getting facebook messages, text messages, phone calls, emails, etc. And, if I ever call someone, the first sound out of their mouth is either about the baby OR very expectant of news they want me to spill. Sorry, but no news yet. I have an appointment today and my doctor will schedule an induction date as she does not want me to go over 41 weeks.

On an awesome note, Cory and I will be going to Texas in February with new baby and Cory will have the chance to interview with the Austin Police Department. We have been waiting to hear about dates for a base inspection and FE Warren in Cheyenne, WY just got hit with less than 48 hour notice. Herego, Cory's leadership is granting us leave to go as we will have no warning of the inspection dates. I never thought God would answer the prayer that way, but I am okay with. We get to go and he gets to interview. That is what we wanted. Cory would prefer the inspection happen while he is here though, so now pray that the no warning inspection happens when Cory is available I guess!

Maybe the next post will have a baby picture. I can hope!

Busy Busy!

Of course this season is always busy. Here is what we have been up to the month of December.

1. Work has been a bit nuts as I prepare for maternity leave. My last working day is December 31st. Then I will start my leave but will retain some projects that I will do from home. I will take this moment to say that I don't know yet what I will be doing upon completion of my maternity leave with work. When I know, I will let you know.

2. Baking with my new Kitchen Aid Mixer that Santa brought November 30th. He knew that my 8 month pregnant body would greatly appreciate that present early for all my baking. Worked fantastic for my mashed potatoes too!

3. Watching the Broncos not fair too well and the Packers sometimes win and sometimes lose! What a season by the way!

4. Christmas Eve dinner for 9 friends. Fondue is so fun and you would think not much work as I don't have to cook much. The clean up is always more of a process than I think but it so FUN! Mom, the plates were awesome; thanks for sending them early!

5. Opening presents is always fun. Our highlights thus far (we are doing Christmas with my family in January when Adley comes): Entire Twilight series, entire Harry Potter series, the start of my super cute dishes that will be mixed with the same set in brown, Cory's new weather station that he is obsessed with at the moment, his new punching bag, tools from parents, and blu-ray movies.

6. While Christmas without family is hard sometimes, this Christmas was such a blessing with the friends we have here. Mayers, love you and so blessed to spend out Christmas with you, our dear FAMILY .

7. My brother gets to go to London, England on an all-expense paid trip to lecture at a magician's convention and shoot a DVD! How sweet is that!!??

8. Last minute preparations for Adley such as: packing my bag, packing her bag, weekly appointments, inserting the car seat (by the way, please leave a comment and tell me if you would place the infant car seat behind the driver or the passenger. Cory and I are in a debate about this and we would love to know your opinions!), organizing her clothes and room, etc. See what I mean about the planning thing?

9. I almost forgot that we also have been busy having only one vehicle as Cory's truck is getting its clutch replaced. And yes, we still need to get the Corrolla's bumper fixed from the construction truck that backed into me. Go figure that both cars would need to be worked on at the same time! C'est la vie!

Funny thing about how busy December has been, I can't even imagine the change come January! Baby comes, mom comes, family comes, 2nd Christmas, baby dedication, Cory's birthday, and more. Here comes the new year!

Planning...

Are any of you planners? I definitely am, and not knowing when the baby is actually coming is starting to frustrate me. I just like to plan and God doesn't let have enough control sometimes!

I should take that back because if I was given more control, I would screw it up. I just wish I can plan things like:
1. When family should come so they aren't staring at me waiting to have a baby and getting to Montana is expensive!
2. When to have a baby dedication with both sets of parents in town.
3. How much time will have between start of maternity leave and actual baby time. (I go officially on January 1 and have project I will be finishing up from home for work, hopefully. I don't actually know when she will come in order to know how much work I will get done.)

God just pinged me right now: Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, with prayer and petition, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

I will shut up now!

New Moon and New Bumper!

So this is a little late in coming, but I saw New Moon on Saturday afternoon. Verdict: Loved it! I can't describe how much better it was than the 1st movie. I think they should redo the first one because New Moon was that much better. I was worried about hating the movie because the book is my least favorite (TEAM EDWARD BABY!) but totally not my experience. The cast and director did a fantastic job. So excited for the 3rd one, my favorite book!

Also, we have to get a new bumper for my Corrolla. If you aren't aware, Cory and I now live the construction zone. All houses around us have been torn down and replacements are being built. All this said, I was stop behing a rather large construction truck (not a personal vehicle, but semi-truck style) and all of a sudden he started backing up and CRUNCH! He likely couldn't hear me honking because his truck was beeping while in reverse so he drove off. I had to follow him to where he stopped and then saw he in fact hit me. Minor accident but scary nontheless. The project manager met us on scene and he gave me all company insurance and his business card to contact with any question. Wonderful start to Wednesday but tomorrow is Thanksgiving!

Have a great Turkey Day!
