29 years old

Not much different than 28.

However, I said that all I wanted to do is make it to my birthday and I would feel okay about things. And I did. So, officially, Jake and I are having a baby...again. No problems on that "making" part. ha ha. I'm 12 weeks along now and it's still going okay, so I feel relatively confident that things will turn okay. I do most of my writing about it on a different blog, so just check my side bar for the link, if you feel like reading about it.

So far, I have received a gift card to Joann Fabrics from Jake's mom and dad, plus a card; and a card from Jake's Grandma. Oh, plus, a picture frame from Jake -- a digital picture frame. I wasn't expecting it, so I was quite surprised, but it has really grown on me, and I love it. It's pretty sweet. And it will display baby pictures every well, when we have them. :)

I don't know that I will be getting much from my parents other than dinner. They didn't ask me if I wanted anything or not. Some years, they ask me what I want and other years, it's just dinner out.

The only bad thing about getting dinner for my birthday is that I've been pretty nauseous for the past 6 or 7 weeks, so eating is really limited. I haven't really gained any weight and my tummy is a fairly decent size at this time. I mean, I think that if you saw me, you'd just think "fatty", but me, myself can tell that it's really baby. So, I'm hoping that I won't gain a terrible amount of weight. I had pretty much to begin with. I want to be one of those women that lost 30 pounds after baby comes. But, I think that dinner will have to wait until after I am feeling better.

But, I'm not "really" 29 until 2:06 pm. So, I'll enjoy my last couple of hours of being 28. ha ha. :)

3 years is too long and too short

I feel fortunate on this day that I can pretty much go see Branden whenever I want. or at least shout out a "hi" to him as we drive by. We live a mile or two away from the Cemetery.

It's amazing to me that it's been three years. I can't believe how different I feel about life compared to three years ago.

I miss you Branden. Very much.

If I could have a drink for you tonight, I would. I'll drink to you in spirit.

I heart you all.

I wish that I could slow down to remember that a little bit more.

Glad that I had the chance to go

It was worth the entire $135 I had to spend on the tickets/parking pass. Even with the loss. Because they fought to the bitter end. Well, ok, not Sup. But, everyone else showed up and was a gamer.

Because, even, with a loss, I may never have a chance to say that I went to a Brewers playoff game. I mean, my dad made the most sense to me today, in that, during his life time, the Brewers were in the playoffs 3 times (including 2008, obviously). 2008 was the first time he got to go. They couldn't afford to go in 1982 (with a 2 year old and all...) and Dad was 5 or 6 in 1956 and 57.

I just wanted to stand in the stadium for as long as I could. I even had a little tear in my eye. The whole stadium cheered even at the end, when they lost. As the bullpen was walking in from center field, Torres raised his hat and then threw it in the stands. I wish more players had come out and just waved to everyone at the end. I'm sure they were too upset. They didn't want to be done, I'm sure. It's going to be a long off-season for some, I think.

So, here are a couple of things that I hope for next year:
1. Give Sveum a year at coaching. See what he can do.
2. MARK!! Open up your checkbook and pay CC! We want him back. DIDIMAO!!!!

I really wish Jake and I could splash out on a 9-pack of tickets for next year, but it's too much money. Maybe someday. When we pay off the credit card and get more financially stable. Not that we aren't now, but there's more that can be done.

I have a cold this week and it really sucks hardcore. I don't remember the last time I was sick with a cold like this. Sore throat, cough, stuffed nose. Ugh. This week is going to be LONG....I'm dreading it already.

Well, I'm going to enjoy having the cats sit with me and possibly some Cherry sugar-free Jello. If it's ready.
