no more apologies

One of my best friends and I have a pact that we can't say we're sorry for not keeping in touch as well as we'd like.  I'm going to put that into play now with my blog.  Life is busy, blah blah blah...I'll be better next time, yada yada yada.  We all know the truth.  I'm not the greatest at blogging, but I keep trying and that's all that matters.

Rolando and I are moved into our new apartment and mostly settled.  I say mostly because we're not completely out of the other apartment yet, our contract is up Dec 22 there and we'll clean/totally empty the other apt next Sunday.  Also, there aren't any decorations hung in the new place and that's when it finally starts feeling like home, ya know?  I just forwarded our mail this morning and have officially changed addresses with all the necessary companies we are connected to (changing addresses can be a hassle).  Other than that, we LOVE our new apartment and can't wait to really start enjoying the benefits of living so close to work and not having to put so many miles on the jeep.

Ugh, the jeep.  We've had such a month with that vehicle.  Our radiator went out for the 3rd time in 2 years...that's right!  Then the person who fixed it didn't catch a little thingy thing (don't know the technical term for what happened) and we almost lost our transmission on the way home from getting it fixed.  The person (BLESS HIM!) came to our house at 5AM to fix the jeep (LOVE YOU!).  I didn't ask or anything, he's such a saint (but don't tell him I said that....hehehe).  After a couple of bottle of transmission fluid, we are all back to normal.  For one night I thought, "We're selling it! That's IT!"  But now, I'm back to loving it. 

I've not dug out the Christmas decor yet, but I'm planning on doing so tonight (mostly because a co-worker is counting on me to bring the tree stand I told her I had).  :)  I'm thinking this year, instead of having a tree, we're going to make a tree shaped wire hanger contraption and hang ornaments on the hangers.  My Christmas season is so busy with work and Dicken's Carolers (www.thedickenscarolers.com - public events - humbugs if you want to see my group for free) that I just don't see the joy of having a tree, only work.  When sweet pea arrives, we'll be all about decorating.

To quickly catch up on other items:

I'm 9 weeks pregnant.
I've not been as good as I hoped about diet/exercise.
I go to my first doctor visit on Dec 6th.  I've never been SOOO excited to see the doctor before.
