UpDaTeS

Well it has been a while since I posted anything- not because I'm lazy (which I feel like I am anyways), but because life is so uneventful that we have nothing to say! I guess our latest news is that our team is moving to MIAMI! Which means that at the end of this week, we're packing up again to head even more east to the other coast of Florida, about 2 1/2 hours away. Here in Fort Myers, the boys have run into so many foreclosures, and Fort Myers has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, soooo business has not been the best. People just don't impulsively commit to things- namely alarm systems- anymore with the economy like it is. BUT we're hopeful and excited that Miami will be a better place for everyone- lots more to do, less old people (that's all there is here!) and I guess the apartments there are right on the beach and super nice. Most importantly Aaron and the managers think it will be a nice fresh start and better area for the guys to knock in. Summers in this business are so sporadic!!

Some updates on the pregnancy- Yes I feel like a Fatty McFatterson, which I do understand is normal. I'm slowly feeling myself relenting to the idea of maternity clothes. I actually got online this morning at buckle.com and coveted all the cute "skinny"clothes that I wish I could wear but won't for at least quite a while! It's probably detrimental to do that, it's just depressing. I need to stop.

However, this past week I finally felt the baby move! Like my mom said, the little butterfly, fluttering finally becomes recognizable! I've started looking at baby things at Babies R Us to figure out what we need to register for, and I still once in a while get out all his little clothes that we've bought, and like a nerd I sit there wondering what little Baby Crandall will look like haha! We are probably 90% sure of naming him Carter James... me and Aaron sat in the pool yesterday brainstorming more names and our alternate names are Shrek and Bisquick.

Alicia, this is for you! We had a doctor's appointment today and everything's good, and the baby's measuring as he should.. according to my belly anyway! 21 weeks, 5 days =)

While the boys are out knocking, I pass my time with my current addiction, Desperate Housewives. I'm obviously a little too into this show, since I end up crying on like every episode that's remotely sentimental or finding myself laughing hysterically at the irony of being a lonely housewife myself (I just don't resort to scandal!) AND when I get around to it, I study for my online classes. I'm proud to say that I finished my finals in 2 classes last week... but am trying to make myself start up yet another 2 classes. Our team went to the beach and had lunch last week for a little incentive they won. Aaron just chillin after the boys' rough game of football in the water.

Craig was nicknames Wolverine after he got freakin clawed by some opponent during their football game.

Aaron brought these home one night out of the blue, it was really sweet! I love the 2-toned roses! Having not brought a vase out, they are beautifully arranged in a 7-11 plastic Big Gulp. We are SO ghetto.
