wow... i think i've sunk to a new low in the history of this blog when it comes to post frequency! i'm going to indulge in a brief explanation of why and then get on with it :) at first, i was just slacking. then, at the end of june we found out we were expecting a baby (!) and i didn't blog because it was such a big thing and i couldn't even tell people yet! then, i fell asleep for roughly two months so there wasn't any blogging then either. then i ran out of excuses and now it's almost november :) but oh my goodness, there's been a lot going on! mainly two things:
1. we're expecting a baby (after a looooooonnnnnnggggg few years, more on that later) and could NOT be more excited! we found out today she's a girl :) i cannot wait for march 4th!!
2. nate had a dirtbike accident while we in arizona and broke his back, his arm, and his finger. he was out of work for a month and still isn't back to 100%! he's pretty much recovered but has a whole lot of exercises to do at home and still needs to be very careful not to reinjure anything. we also learned nate has a high tolerance for pain ;) while in the ER, he pegged his pain tolerance at a 2-3 on a scale of 1-10. imagine our surprise when the doctor came sprinting back in with the x-ray results to tell us that he broke his back!
the good news is, he'll be good as new by the time the baby shows up so that's fantastic :)
