I LOVED having a break from school! It was so great to just be home with Talin enjoying the "fall" weather. I know we both missed seeing our families for Thanksgiving and eating our moms' delicious food. Tal actually brined a turkey this year (it looked like a floating brain in a jar! ewwww) and we made Thanksgiving dinner for our friends.

Heidi drove up from LA with her friend JD to eat dinner with us. It was soo good to see her!! The next day I took Talin shopping for a new bag (we waited for the crowds to dissipate) he got the most awesome messenger bag. It looks just like him! YAY for birthday presents!!

We went and saw "Australia" and I think both of us were disappointed by how long and depressing it was...blech!
On Saturday Lisa came out for a few hours to play (HOORAY) while Tal worked on his thesis (almost done!).

We went through all of the baby stuff Tal and I have to make sure that we're ready for the boy (5 days can you believe it?) Luckily I think we are truly ready. We've tried to be as space friendly as possible in our teensie house and I think we've been successful. Although things are cramped, we've kept baby supplies and goodies to only the essentials and tried to find things that have more than one use (thanks to all of the friends who've gone before us for their AWESOME baby gear advice).

(Do you like my pink Kate Spade diaper bag?=) I'm finally using it!)
After that, we went to Goat Hill pizza to meet up with Heidi and JD.

We laughed for hours and then realized that Lisa was totally going to miss her flight so we RAN to the airport (leaving most of her things at my house....boooo...but on the other hand that means she has to come back....YAY!)

When I got home, Talin was so sick of working he just wanted to get OUT! So we went and saw Twilight...I think I'll hold off on my opinion of that one.....
I found out that my friend Dru had her baby (10 lbs, 11 0z! Yay Dru!) Talin and I are next on the ward baby list....it's like waiting in line for a roller coaster...you know it's going to happen and your excited but scared at the same time. Talin is hoping that I hold out until he's done with his thesis...here's hoping the baby is late. =) This is my last week at work. I'm excited to be able to stay home with the baby but it's going to be so weird not waking up and going into work every morning.

YAY JEN! One more week! Or sooner right? Those boys wishing the baby would come late, they have no idea how misserable you are. My husband did the same thing to me! If you want to hear what I thaught of twilight, I wrote an entire book about it:) P.S. You'll do great on the roller coaster ride!
Jen you look so cute! I know at this stage you probably don't feel that way but just trust me. :) Yea for staying home with baby! So much fun - you can just snuggle & sleep & relax. And here's hoping he gets the timing right for you guys. Good luck!
You have arrived...almost! You look great and ready to have that baby. You have got me so excited so I hope you post pics and news right away.
I can't believe Lisa and her luckiness to come out for a few hours here and there. How would it be to have a pilot-hubby?
The baby gear only gets worse the older they get. Borrow, borow, borrow. That way you can give it back when he doesn't use it anymore and you don't have to store it.
Roller coaster ride - haa heee hee - that is so funny! It's so true - that crazy "oh my gosh here I go" feeling right before the rush - ya, you pretty much nailed that one! Oh sister I seriously can not wait! I am so excited for my nephew to be here it's like Christmas times one million! I love you so much and had so much crazy fun with you and D! Ha - I think we scared the poo out of poor JD ;) love you!
ooooooh...exciting. you could be in the hospital as i type this....good luck and congratulations!!
