Safe and Sound back home....

So we made it back home but driving home was harder than driving there. We had the excitement to help us along when we went down. Coming home we were tired and a little sad. I had to drive in Oregon which is the worst stretch in my opinion: Very curvy, lots of passes to go up and down and construction(LOVED the 20 miles where there was no dividers between the two lanes of traffic). I almost took out a huge orange cone-barrel thing, veered into the river(well that's a bit of an exaggeration) and got slap happy which made it hard to keep my focus (THANKS mom!). When we finally found a place open in OR for us to have breakfast...it wasn't open to use the bathroom. I sat in the car for 10 minutes just focusing on anything other than going to the bathroom.

Let's see what else....OH we stopped in Ellensburg about 2 hours from home to get brunch because it was about 5:30 am when we stopped last to eat. It took 45 FREAKING minutes for Burger King to get the dang food to us. I was so tired I couldn't argue. At least it was hot. Then there was the traffic to get over Snoqualmie Pass because everyone was coming home and it's two lanes until right before the pass. We got home and just crashed. But not for long because we have to pack the whole house in 3 days in order to move this weekend. YAY for a non-eventful week in the McDavis home.

Probably won't blog again till after "moved in" but there will be some awesome shots from the trip. Here are the verbal highlights: Snow Canyon - gorgeous red rock! Rachel and her mom's lip gloss all over her body - HILARIOUS! The kids playing with Eric - precious (he will be such a good daddy!!)

We find out Monday the gender of the baby so I will probably blog that announcement from work. Love you all - See you soon!

Safe and Sound in St. George

Hey there peeps - We made it safely through the 16+ hour drive. We were totally ok till we got to Provo and the last 4 hours were hard to push through. But we are safe and loving the kids, my sis and her hubs and their new digs.

Can I just say, I saw nice, new single family homes in the 100's.....That made me almost start crying with hope that we can make it someday :)

Not much to report...except for a WICKED present

So the baby front goes on without much to report. I have my ultrasound June 1st to find out the gender of the baby. (It's a boy but Eric swears it's a girl - one of us will be right). Definitely feeling more of the mood swings and emotional changes.

Yesterday was a bad day but that's because I was lumping everything together and stressing about them all at once. Aga told me to take it one at a time and tackle it that way. Plus I didn't get to talk to Eric all day (to make me feel better) because he was playing hostage in the old ER at the hospital. Literally, he was the hostage. They had Bellevue SWAT team come in and they hired a guy to play a drug seeking, gun weilding psycho. He "killed" a couple of nurses and the stand off lasted over 4 hours. Such a man :D

ANYWAY when Eric got home he hugged me and I told him about my bad day so he decided to give me my birthday present 3 months early....I am sure you all know that I desperately want to see Wicked and it's coming to Seattle in September but I wasn't going to get tickets because they are expensive...Well Eric got me AWESOME seats to see WICKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited and I love my thoughtful, wonderful husband. He always knows how to warm my heart and I appreciate that he listens to me. I only mentioned that Wicked was coming once, maybe twice and he remembered to stay on top of when tickets went on sale. I married the best one out there. I LOVE YOU ERIC!!!
