Time flys when your having fun...

I guess that is how the saying goes. We must be having a blast because I can't believe it's almost the end of August already!!! This past week and weekend was pretty uneventful, so that has been nice. We took the youth group to Emerald Point (a huge water park) last Saturday. It was a gorgeous day and I think everyone had a good time. It was pretty crowded because it was a Saturday but the lazy river and the pools suited me just fine. :)

Sunday was pretty productive. After church David went on a long bike ride with Brian and I did laundry and got all my stuff and Tyler's stuff ready to be packed. It still hasn't made it to the suitcase, but it is washed and folded, maybe I'll work on that tonight. Here is my 35 week belly pictures. Boy is he dropping and making me uncomfortable! :)
Last week was a pretty neat week for David because he got to baptize a guy in our youth group, Stephen Rusterholz and his mom, Sue Rusterholz. It was really neat to see the both of them baptized the same night. They are such sweet people and we have definitely been blessed to have them as part of our "family." Here are a couple of pictures I took. I hate I didn't get one afterwards, because David's waders leaked or something and he was soaking wet from chest to toes.
Also, last Thursday and Friday I went to Asheville for work. It wasn't too bad except for the fact that Tyler did not like me sitting all day, so he was sure to let me know it. We had an employee appreciation dinner Thursday night. It was a great steak supper and here is a picture of the group. I am the only girl at the very end of the table. It's not the best shot, but that's what you get when you have a man take the picture! :)


I went to the doctor Wednesday for my 36 week check up. He said everything looked good. My blood pressure was back down, so I was thankful for that. No progress yet, but I guess that's okay since he really is not suppose to make an appearance for 3 1/2 more weeks. Which seems so short, but yet so far away. I just can't imagine how much my life is about to change! I just can't wait to see his little face! David is convinced he is going to look just like him, so we'll see. He's getting super excited! We are at weekly appointments now, so I think it will make this process go even faster!
On another note, we had our carpets cleaned this week. They look awesome. David decided to put up trim in the living room, since we had not done that. So while all the furniture was out, he did that and got the living room back together last night which was a huge help, because all the furniture in the kitchen was starting to stress me out a little. The trim looks great and really adds to the room, he's so handy!! Of course being anal about Tyler's room, I had his room put back together as soon as I got home from work. So everything is almost back in it's place. It's a good feeling!
So other than a few here and there's we are ready and set for Tyler to come.
Here is my 36 week belly pictures. With every move he now makes my entire belly is transformed, it's so funny to watch. Everyone at church was saying my belly was lop-sided, because that night he must have been sticking out his bottom on the right side, because it was definitely obvious! :)

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I rented a birthing video this week for us to watch. It was definitely "older" but I guess it had the pertinent information in it. It was 5 hours long, so needless to say we fast forward through a few things, but we actually did learn a few things. I'm going to go get another one today of an actual birth, so David is not so shell shocked come the day of. So I'll let you know how that goes. :) Wish us luck!

Sorry for the randomness of this blog. I'm guessing that's how it's going to be from now on!
