Ward Shopping

Another thing going on is we have to move for Marc's job...his manager wants us to move closer to the territory he covers. Well, there are actually several cities that cover A LOT of ground that we could choose from that are within the perameters of where we're supposed to move. So I've started with ward shopping...on Sundays I visit wards and give the members 30 seconds each to tell me why we should move into their ward....:)j/k...no but really, today I did go visit 3 wards...that means I went to 3 sacrament meetings...yes, it felt like a marathon...and 2 of the wards had the exact same high council speakers...that got a little hard the 2nd time around...but I talked to the Bishops, found out ward boundaries, and tried to scout out if there are any couples left that are our age that haven't moved to Arizona! It's a little preliminary to say, but I do like the city Torrance...so if that means anything to any of you, we might end up there (it is within 1 mile of the beach!!!)

My Dancing Baby

Marc and I went to my 2nd appointment with the doctor last Tuesday. He ended up doing an ultra sound and it was so cool to see everything so clearly...arms, legs,...even fingers...I mean it's only like 1.5 inches tall! But the cutest thing was it looked like it was dancing the whole time...it was moving its arms and legs back and forth to a beat...So when we left I said its gonna be a girl and she's a dancer...and Marc said its gonna be a boy and he's a drummer (and when I asked him to explain why a drummer would be moving both legs he said the baby is working the double bass pedals)

San Diego Vacation

Marc and I went on a vacation to San Diego this week and just got home today. It was such nice timing since he had been gone for so long at his training...and we just got to relax and hang out on the beach. We were glad to finally be working on our summer tans...now that it's, ummm...the end of August. Oh well!
We got to stay in a hotel on the beach (in the picture)...that made it really fun. The funny thing was, the whole week we thought we were vacationing at Mission Beach until we went into this souvenier shop next to our hotel...and all the merchandise said "Pacific Beach." We thought it was funny that we didn't even know where we were on vacation...but I guess, a beach is a beach, right?!
And as for a pregnancy update: I am feeling MUCH better now...and have for about 1 week. Mostly now, I'm just really tired during the day...We went to this Bodies Exhibit while we were in San Diego...it was really cool--it showed the skeletons and muscles and organs of real human bodies that have been preserved...I was a little freaked out by the idea at first. But once we were there, it was cool to see. One room showed real fetus's in different stages that had been preserved. I got to see a real fetus at that same stage as ours...that was really neat.
