One month left

So two exciting things happened to me on Friday.  The first thing didn't start out too well when our awesome air mattress got a hole in it!  Pretty frustrating but some good came out of it.  Refer to the picture below..... we decided to rent a REAL bed!  And we now get to sleep on a real bed for the next month! 
The other exciting thing that happened was when we figured out how to keep our house cool in the 104 degree weather we have been having.  We moved our bed into the living room next to the swamp cooler and card table and closed off our bedroom door.  Before that we were sweating like crazy every night and taking cold showers trying to stay cool.   These two things have put a brighter aspect on life. 

Not a whole lot has been happening around here.  Not much to report other than Mark goes to work every day and then comes home to study for the big test coming up in a month.   The kids play all day together cuz they are best friends and I try not to go crazy by reading a million books and growing larger by the day. 
Here is Jordann on the 4th of July.  They had a little celebration at the park near our house.
 Here we are at the water park in the area.  It's a really cute little place to go swimming and the kids have loved going down the slides and playing in the wave pool and lazy river. 
 We did take a trip to Seattle to see my long lost sister who I haven't seen in about two years.  Okay so maybe I am the long lost sister right now. 
 This is the nasty yet cool gum wall!

We are just in a waiting game right now.  Counting down the days till the baby comes and Mark's last day of clinicals.  Counting down to graduation and when we get to start real life again.  You know with a job and an income and a house bigger than 800 square feet that we will live in for longer than three months.  Plus maybe a dishwasher and more than four cereal bowls!!!  Can't wait!

Always new you were amazing, but the past couple months really shows it. We just moved again to Texas and we finally have enough plates to use the dishwasher....it's heaven. Love and miss, good luck next month, so glad your having a baby! You really helped me with the twins and I wish I could repay the favor.
