BIG NEWS!!!

Yesterday I passed two tests with flying colors! Scott and I are going to have a baby! Yes, I know we were saying that we wanted to wait a few years, but God has a differnt plan for us and we're happy to follow His desires for us.

I was so nervous to tell Scott (he was already at work when I took the test.) When he got home from work yesterday I surprised him with a little gift. It was a burp cloth with yellow submarines on it that said "I LOVE DADDY." He unfolded it with the embroidered side facing down, I had to tell him to flip it over, he looked at me and said "Face, are you pregant?" (Yes, we call each other Face...I don't remember how it started.) I just said, "Open your card!" The card said "Let the cravings begin..." and had pictures of ice cream and pickles on the front, the inside then said "We're Expecting!" He said, "Really? Are you kidding?" I started to cry a little and said, "Nope. We're pregnant!" We hugged and got excited.

I'm actually really surprised at his reaction, I thought he would have been a little more scared/nervous than he was. He's so awesome, he's going to be such a great dad! We went to Carter's and bought bibs for the grandmas and brought them over to them. Needless to say, both sides of our family are very excited for us! It's the first grandbaby for both of our parents! (Scott's brother Riley even put "Riley's gonna uncle it up!" as his status on myspace.)
From what I've read and figured out, I'm six weeks pregnant and the baby should be due around mid-November! Crazy, huh?

Vincent's Adventures

As you know, we have a cat named Vincent. He's our main source of amusement at home. He's playful, curious, a little dumb sometimes. Yesterday as I talked on the phone with my friend Ann I hear him meowing. I turn around and see this.

He plays with plastic bags all the time, don't worry we watch him so he won't strangle himself. Once in a while though he'll put his head through the handle and think he's stuck. Silly kitty.
Sometimes he pretends to be Godzilla.

Catchin' Up

I had quite a bit going on last week, here it is in short form. I'm putting the photos on my pixyblog. Check 'em out!

Monday morning I helped out empty the bins for the church's annual rummage sale. We had some fun BOWLING WITH BOB.

Scott and I went to Disneyland that night and I took THESE PHOTOS.

Tuesday night we went over to the Ellis' for dinner and cake in celebration of RILEY'S BIRTHDAY, which was actually Monday.

Friday afternoon I went to lunch at the Thai Bay Cafe with Ashley. The food was great, I can't wait to go back! I don't have any pictures of us or lunch, but I got a shot of a NEAT OLD BUILDING behind the restuarant. Thanks for thinking of me Ashley!

FRIDAY NIGHT Scott and I went to Disneyland with Jon & Kathy. They're pretty awesome! We had so much fun! Thanks guys!

Saturday I worked a few hours then went to JARED & STACIE'S WEDDING! It was absolutely beautiful! Stacie's such a pretty girl, but especially on her wedding day! She's got a great smile! Jared's such a great guy, we're so happy for the two of them! Congratulations Jared & Stacie!

At the reception, a song comes on and Scott and I look at each other like, "This sounds familiar..."
Scott: Who do you think this is?
Christina: It sounds like Magdalene. (a band Scott palyed in a few years ago with Chris & Alex Lopez and Ray & Ryan Right) But it couldn't be, could it?
Scott: (to the dj) "Who is this?"
DJ: Alex Lopez
Christina: Oh my gosh! That's you on drums!
Scott: Haha, I knew I knew this song!
Such a great moment!

Alrighty, I think that's everything for now. I ahve lots of stuff at the rummage sale too. They're all on my pixyblog.

Pandora

Last night through StumbleUpon I found PANDORA. This is one of the neatest things I've seen in a while. You type in a song or artist, it plays that song/artist. Then it comes up with music you would like based on qualities from that song/artist. Try it out! Register and add me as a friend so I can see what you're listening to!

On today's agenda

7am-Wake up, shower
7:20-Make biscuits and gravy breakfast for hubby and me
7:50-Get ready for the day
8:30-Head to church to help unload the treasures for the rummage sale
12 noon-Head home, change, get ready for Disneyland
1pm-Head out to Disneyland for a fun day with hubby, not-so-little BIL, Riley and his girlfriend, Sarah...hope they can go!

If you have a pass and feel like joining us, just give us a call!

Bathroom conversations

Scott and I were getting ready for church this morning. Here's how the conversation went...sort of...
Scott: You look like you're a black guy.
Christina: (confused look) Uh, what?
Scott: You look like you're a black guy.
Christina: (confused look still, turns to mirror, realization) I look like I have a black eye!

So my husband doesn't think I look like a black guy. Darn, there goes my career as Barack's double.

The black eye was smudged makeup from yesterday...by the way I couldn't figure out how to spell smudged just now. Smugged...schmugged? Geez...

Disneyland!

Disneyland is seriously one of the greatest places on earth! Last night we took part of our tax return and got annual passes! Now we can go almost any time we want! Hooray! All we did last night was ride the train, Space Mountain, see Honey, I Shrunk the Audience (I'd never seen it, but I did see Captain Eo!) get some churros and watch fireworks from the top of the Mickey and Friends parking garage. There were a couple funny moments I just want to share. As we hopped on the train to head to Tomorrowland a lady in a little scooter pulled in next to us. She kept trying to turn her scooter around so it was facing the front instead of the side, but the space was too small. She just kept banging it against the inside of the boxcar. Her daughter finally says, "Mom, stop, it's like the part in Austin Powers when he's trying to turn the golfcart in the hallway!" Awesome! At the end of the night we heard this awesome guitarist and with a percussionist playing at Downtown Disney. They played Beethoven's 5th, Hotel California, Smooth and some other songs. The percussionist had a cajon, bongos, djembe, cymbals, and some fun little toys. They were a lot of fun to watch, next time you're there you should check 'em out. They have 5 CDs on sale, on of which is all Beatles songs, so of course we bought it along with 2 others. The fireworks set off a ton of car alarms...that was pretty funny too!
