It's been a long time...

Hey gang! It's been awhile since I last updated everyone about the goings-on here in Idaho, and I feel obligated to bring you all back up to speed.

1. I graduated last month with my BA in English and a minor in Graphic Design. If you need anything written or created, let me know and I would love to do it for you (documents, pamphlets, brochures, logo, stationery, invitations, cards, announcements--anything).

2. Merrill and I found out that I'm pregnant last month--after about a week of morning sickness. Any tips about exercises, food, and books are greatly appreciated. We'll let everyone know what it is going to be as soon as we find out. Due date: February 17, 2010.

3. We just moved into a small basement apartment. And I mean SMALL. It's got the most lovely wallpaper and curtains, and the paneling in the bedroom makes it feel like I'm at a cabin. I've posted pictures below. The "best" part is all of the bugs and spiders we've encountered. We sprayed and have found less critters, but the earwigs are never ending. There are always about three waiting to surprise me when I do the dishes. I bet the mangers upstairs wonder about all of my random yelps coming from downstairs.

4. We just found out that we are attending a family reunion for Merrill's mom's side of the family to be held in Idaho City, Idaho. If you don't know where that is, we don't either. Anyways, we leave on Monday for a 6 hour excursion through the middle of Idaho to stay for a few days with a ton of extended family. I will finally be able to say that I know and have met everyone that Merrill is related to. He can't say the same thing about my family yet, though. But he will when we settle in California after he graduates.

I just thought I would catch everyone else up and have a chance to hear it from me (Monica, you do a great job of informing!). I hope to see most of you next month when I come down for Britney's wedding, which I would not miss for the world!
