9 Weeks, 4 Days

It's been about 3 1/2 weeks since I've blogged! I've been super busy with life! Good news, I got accepted into the intern management program at Cracker Barrel!! I'm SO excited! I leave on Sunday for Tennessee for two weeks to start my training. (It will be a total of 8 weeks.) I can't wait! Been waiting a year and a half for my "big girl job!" We aren't sure where they will be putting us yet, but I will know the last time I'm in TN (approx. 5 weeks from now). Once we know that, Ryan will start applying for police officer/GSP jobs...so proud of him!!

Everything is going great with the pregnancy! I'm having a little bit of tailbone pain (so weird!) and heartburn, too. (Never experienced that before, so I was a little freaked out the first time I had it..my mom laughed and assured me it was totally normal-HA!) As for the tailbone pain, my MIL is thinkin' it's a boy because she had that when she was pregnant with Ry, but not his sister. Who knows! I had my first OB appointment at 8 weeks..pretty uneventful. I was kind of sad about it! We didn't do an ultrasound or even hear the heartbeat. Doc said they only do 2 (at the most) ultrasounds now. Hate that! All we did was ask questions and give blood. I'll have my next one on the 30th, where we will hear the heartbeat for the first time, so I'm *super* excited about that!

Ryan's birthday was yesterday. We spend the weekend camping in Cherokee..so much fun! We used my mom's Hawaiian themed camper and played around at the casino. Then we went to Funopolis in Commerce on Sunday where we celebrated with my family. So much fun!! Haunted house, mini golf, haunted laser tag, etc. We had a blast. Last night we had a family dinner with his family, so that was great times too!

All in all, things have been goin' pretty smoothly! Prayers this way would be great as a lot of changes are comin' our way pretty quickly!
