Howdy Howdy,

This one is for Katie.  It really is.  She said that I would be grounded if I didn't up date my blog.  I knew better then to argue with a pregnant woman.  Not any pregnant woman, but she so happens to be the most attractive pregnant woman I have ever laid eyes on.  Ow ow.  So some updates.  My good buddy ol pal Landon came down to hang out with us a week ago.  We got to spend the day with him, go to dinner with Katie's mom, and hit up Babies R Us.  Something he said that really struck my little heart strings was that he looks up to Katie and I as role models.  I guess Katie and I got something good going on.  After that we flew down to California for the Smith reunion.  Talk about amazing weather and I learned how much I miss the ocean.  Except for the time I got thrown in by Mason and Chase.  But it was such an amazing trip, it was short but so so so so sweet.  Katie is getting close to graduation. Crazy awesome.  Today was awesome and we worked hard on setting up Baby B's room.  She has such a cute room due to her awesome Mom.  I love that little girl so much and I can't believe how close she is to being here with us.  My Optometry school applications were just shipped out so hopefully I will be hearing back from some schools soon.  Also today we were at Babies R Us getting some things and there was a little game we played were you could win a 5 dollar gift card.  We had to compete against some other pregos by writing down as fast as we could things that are found in a diaper bag.  Katie ended up winning and it was so awesome.  The people at the store told me I beat the record for men.  So I am pretty proud of that.  We have been watching the Olympics a lot because USA just rocks and I was on my mission for the last one so I feel like I have to dedicate my time to USA! now.  Well I figure this is enough typing for me to get away without writing for another week or two.  Now I have to rub lotion on Katie's feet because I got caught eating some of her ice cream.....

WISH ME LUCK,

Con Amor,

Andrew

Dear Future,

I know what you are thinking.  I keep on promising that I will be better at writing on this blog but I have missed the whole month of June.  I know I know I am sorry.  Katie will be thrilled that after a huge drought I will have finally written something.  So here is a little update about myself.  I finished my Spring classes and did well in them while I was working about 40 hours a week.  I don't think I could do that again but somehow I made it and did well.  I just finished my Optometry school applications and it feels great.  In fact it feels so great to be done that I now realize that I have lots of free time.  I will need to pick up a new hobby or something for sure.  Basically I just need to keep busy until baby girl comes because she will defiantly keep me super busy.  Katie and I also just randomly decided to go to Cali for a few days for the family reunion.  My Mom was super excited about that.  So we have that planned in about three weeks.  It will be a nice trip to get away from P-Town and that could be the last trip for awhile before baby girl arrives.  We are getting so close and I am super excited.  It is funny how I set goals and think that applying to Optometry schools is like 2 years away.  And now it is here.  When we found out that Katie was pregnant I was thinking that September was so far away. Now it is just a couple months away.  So crazy how time just flies by.  That is a reminder to me of how we need to make the best of each day because before you know it a year has gone by.  Life is beautiful and it only gets better.

Con Amor,

Andrew
