What's Been Going On

We have not been the exciting couple this year....LOL! I feel bad that I don't have a lot of little trips or fun things to report on. Sorry.
Mike has been working A LOT of overtime the last few months to help us be able to have money to stock up on all things. We are DESPERATELY trying to get a good 3-6 month supply of household items, personal care items and of course food storage. Partially because this is good to have on hand anyways but also because if you have a supply, you can wait to buy things until they are on sale WITH coupons and pay basically NOTHING for them. Also, we have been trying to get baby gear stocked up. We do not want our budget, which will be tighter, to be blown by diapers, etc. This is his last month he is working so much overtime as starting the middle of April he wants to be sure to be ready for "the day." ( He is so funny/excited!)
I have been doing some photography for people around the area. I am wrapping up those sessions on April 3rd for the most part. I am excited to be able to have this excuse to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather when I feel I should be home, cleaning, organizing and such. I am also trying to get some other things done, mostly scrapbooks, that are VERY far behind.
I am getting pretty excited for everything coming this year. On top of our little one, I am excited for my 2 best friends to be coming for visits in May. Both my friend Terrie (I often refer to her family- the Bolanders) and my friend Sarah will be coming after the baby arrives. We will have a nice quiet June (hopefully- and by quiet I mean no trips, etc...) and then in July we are planning a trip to go to Nauvoo, Omaha, Mnt Rushmore, etc with my parents. We have a family camping trip the beginning of August, after that we pick up Mike's niece who will come stay with us for a few days before we head over to the Oregon coast for a mini-vaca and Mike's Dad's wedding. After that, we then hope to settle into a little more of a routine as fall hits.
So enough of my boring update...LOL! We hope all is well with all of you. We hope everyone is looking forward to General Conference in a few weeks and also Easter. They are the perfect events to kick off Spring every year.
