i haven't blogged in ages...

it really has been almost a year....i can't believe it...amy and I were talking the other day and she said the last time i blogged is my due date! that is so crazy! anyways cort and I are doing great....our first baby is due oct 6th...almost two months away.
we have been working on her room, which alfie thinks is his....we catch him in there all the time! he is too cute...here are some pics of her room...

thank you!!!

thank you everyone:) ....we have really enjoyed all of your sweet pregnancy comments and encouraging words! we are both overly excited about the whole thing....and can't wait to find out everything! we go to the doc on the 29th but I'll probably go in before just to get a blood test....we took three at home and you should have seen us! I put the 1st one down right after the first line appeared and then cort picked it up and said wait..."there's another line!...but it's kinda far away from the other one!" (i know we're both crazy) ...so we called amy to get confirmation! it was so funny...we are both excited!!

yesterday amy and I took the kids to get some pics of them and I just thought i'd share....

guess what...

alright heather…here it goes….seven random crazy things about myself….sorry it's taken sooo long...i haven’t been on in ages….
1. well there usually isn’t at least one time (or more) in day where I find myself dreaming about what we could do next…or where we are going to move to….
2. I love to try new things, anything, and I am constantly working on something new….
3. hence the name project-x coined by my lovely husband whom not only calls me project-x but teek as well…don’t ask we are not even sure where it came from but we have been calling each other that for 7+ years…
4. I am never content…it is something I am in constant prayer about…it’s like a crazy, crazy thing that will probably never go away….well…hopfully someday!
5. I am having a difficult time adjusting to the real world of working again….but I do love my little second graders…they are so cute and they call cortney my wife! I love it!! (he really is my stay at home wife right now-ha ha)
6. well…um…let me see…I love love love traveling, as do most people, however I think I am addicted and I just can't stop thinking about it…EVER…we hope to go to turkey and greece…this summer….well maybe…
7.we’re still not sure about that because ummmmm…..

ahhhh....it's sooo nice to be home...we have missed everyone terribly....and although evrything of value was missing from our home when we arrived....it still feels good to be back in good ol' yuba duba!! ....and the best part is we have the whole summer off to play!:)

leaving africa.. :(

although we have thoroughly enjoyed the last 2 months of our life here....we can’t say that we are not excited to leave the cold & rainy winter and jump into the beautiful sunshine of kona hawaii! not to mention to sushi, the kona-coffee mudpie...yummm and the free-refills....with extra ice:)
it has been a beautiful stay with so many great memories and one day, hopefully soon, we will return again...
we will miss you terribly archie!!

wedding bells are ringing!!!

i really wish we could be there:(...
