at long last...

I have been telling friends and family that I wanted to start a blog for a long time now and here I am, months later, finally getting around to it. I thoroughly enjoy looking at friends' blogs and figured it was about time to set up one of my own. This way friends and family from near and far can have a sneak peak into what is going on in our lives. Not to mention that we have a fun way to "record" pieces of our daily lives. We'll see how well I do with this. I have a bad habit of getting excited about something and being very dedicated at first only to lose interest and forget about it before too long.

Matt and I have been very busy lately! Moreso than normal I feel - especially this past weekend. Matt completely blew out his right front tire on the way to work Friday morning. I mean COMPLETELY blew the entire thing clear off the rim! I don't even know if he really knows how it happened, only that before he knew it he was watching his tire roll away infront of him! Luckily he was able to get off the freeway and no one way hurt. Since my job is much more flexible than his, I was able to meet him at the gas station he rolled to and wait for the AAA guy. Matt was afraid he'd done more serious damage than just a blown tire and we thought I might have to get the car towed to the dealership but no, it just needed the doughnut put on and I was good to go. The tire is still sitting on the off ramp at Redlands Blvd. for those of you locals who may want to check it out! Matt helped some friends move on Friday night while I took the car to get the tire replaced and wandered around Walmart aimlessly for what felt like an eternity.
Saturday, I went to Altadena (about an hour and some away) for work to see a client who couldn't come into San Bernardino. It was cold and rainy and Californians do NOT do well driving in less than perfect weather so needless to say, the traffic was not very favorable. At least I was getting paid to sit in traffic adn thank God for cell phones! That night was the RCS Christmas program where Matt sang and played trombone... yes, played trombone. Or attempted to play trombone. :) We had a great time hanging out with friends at Chili's afterwards. Sunday we were off to church then Matt went to a friend's house to watch the Bronco's game while I headed to 29 Palms (another 1.5 hours away) to see a couple more clients. Matt had to sing in church again Sunday night so he went back to church and I stayed home to clean, catch up on laundry, and do the rest of the "regular" weekend things that I hadn't been able to get to.
So, there you have it.. a piece of our not-so-exciting life. Hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures (especially of my ever-growing baby bump) sometime soon, if I can figure it all out...
