A Week of Exciting News

It is Saturday night here in central Texas, and for once I am not drop-dead exhausted at the end of the day. The ONLY reason for this is that I took a two hour nap earlier in between shopping and dinner. This past week has been pretty exciting, and I have a lot to post about in general!

Three amazing things happened this week that definitely need reporting. The first is that my pregnant friend Jennie finally found out the sex of her baby!!! This has been a long time coming, and unfortunately for the baby it took too long to reveal its true identity which left us with no other choice than to come up with a nickname for it. Here is the story behind the nickname: So my good friend and co-worker Jennie is preggers, and in unrelated news, her first cousin Laura has a son named Brooks who is 4. Brooks is extremely precocious and smart and imaginative, and provides us with hours of quips that entertain. So one day Brooks asked Jennie "Are you having a brother or a sister?" to which Jennie replied "What do you think, Brooks?" Brooks said "Ummmmm, I think it is a brother." "OK, well what do you think I should name him, then?" asked Jennie. "Ummm, how 'bout Dragon?" LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Awesome. The best part is that Brooks answers with Dragon EVERY TIME we ask him what the baby's name should be, so now Jennie's baby is affectionately known as Baby Dragon. We found out this week that the baby is indeed a boy, which is better because no matter how we try to justify it Dragon is just more of a boy nickname. The baby will be named Ben and he is due September 17, but he will always be known as Baby Dragon.

The next amazing thing that happened is that Jessica was offered and accepted a job in Oklahoma teaching 6-12 grade history and geography! She has been looking for a good job there for what seems like forever, and I think this one is going to be an amazing fit. I am very excited for her, even though it will be very hard on me when she goes. However, I AM excited about all the teachery organizational stuff she is going to get to do!!!

The third thing I already kind of mentioned in my last post, but DAVID AND I BOUGHT A HOUSE!!! It is the one from the last post, and we close in like a month!! AHHHH!! It is very exciting, but stressful at the same time with work and all. We are getting the inspections etc. done this week, so hopefully nothing major will be wrong and we can keep going on schedule!

OH!!! The other exciting thing is that the documentary that Jess and I are in finally came out!!! It is in 6 parts, so check them out below!!!













I am getting tired, so I will post more tomorrow. Check out the doc!!!!!
