No crazy Eric stories lately... hopefully more to come soon.

Just a little update on life....
So much craziness, so little time. This past weekend we were suppose to go to a wedding up by Alexandria, MN. I had scheduled someone to preach for me 3 or 4 months ago and was really looking forward to a Sunday off this summer. Well, of course Wed. morning at 8:30am I got a call that someone in the parish had passed away. Before I could even negotiate a date they had everything planned for Sat. morning. Yup, no vacation to the wedding for me. It probably worked out for the better anyhow but was a little frustrating to begin with. I was able to make us some more money before we move in a few weeks.

Saturday when everything was done with the funeral we went down to Vermillion to visit some friends. They live out on a farm so it was fun just to be. We played the Wii and talked. It was a good time. I got some sleep. We went out for omelets in the morning... what pregnant woman doesn't appreciate a good omelets?!?! It was good to see D and J. We haven't really hung out with them for a couple of summers. It just so hard to keep up with everyone and see everyone. Makes me sad that I am not better at keeping in contact sometimes.

Sunday I didn't have to be at church so Eric and I bummed around Sioux Falls all day. We found my birthday present, a pair of Keen sandals. They are GREAT. Especially on the pregnant lady feet. I am super excited about them and want to just go walking around because they are so wonderful. I had a hard time justifying spending a lot of money on nice shoes but Eric said they could be my birthday present... SOLD! It was nice just to bum around a look at baby stuff.

Speaking of baby stuff. It is amazing to feel the baby kick. It makes everything more real and I just get more and more excited. I just want to me the little one. I want to hold him/her. I want to rock him/her to sleep. I want to hear the sound of the first cry. I want to get to know his/her personality. What kind of person she/he will be. I'm just so excited for the future. But right now it's fun to just feel movement. To get to know the personality that is already forming. The little ninja that is growing inside of me. Either he/she liked the Batman movie last night or really didn't like it at all. I think the loud noise was keeping the peanut awake. Helps build character? :)

Not only is work crazy right now and I have had 2 funeral, 2 weddings, VBS, a fund raiser for a boy with Leukemia, and just a lot of people with medical problems, I am trying to figure out how to say good-bye in a few weeks. ufda!
