We're getting to old for this...

Drew and I COULD NOT WAIT to get out to Indiana to see his family. It's always a great time. Nice to get away from Maryland, nice to spend time with the in-laws, and nice to be taken care of for a week. (lol) The past couple times we've driven out, we've left at like 9 or 10 pm and just drove through the night. So, of course, that was the plan for this trip as well. Seemed like a good idea....EXCEPT! we hadn't really gotten any sleep this week. I got back from Colorado late monday night and went to work on Tuesday. That night we went to the FEE concert and hung out with the band afterwards so we didn't get home till midnight. THEN on Thursday night we (being the cool people we are) went to the midnight showing of New Moon, got home at 3 and had to get up for work at 6:30am. lol Then a full day of our friends wedding on Saturday. For some reason, we still thought it was a good idea to leave saturday night and drive to Indiana. LOL So here is how it went.....
We leave at 10pm feeling good. lol We stop at Breezewood at Sheetz as is custom for every Indiana trip. : ) We continue on and make it all the way to the Ohio line. Shortly after that the sleepiness starts to kick in. So, being the responsible adults that we are, we pull over on the side of the road (at 3 am) and take a quick little nap. Feeling better, we continue on our way and make it about half-way through Ohio. I take a turn driving, but after 40 minutes I'm done. SO we pull over again. This time we forgot to set an alarm and slept for an hour. OOPS! But Drew was awakened (is that the right tense?) by *TAP,TAP,TAP* on the window. A police officer had pulled over to see if we were ok and scared the CRAP out of Drew. lol The man was SO sweet, and made sure everything was ok, and told us that there was a rest stop about 6 miles up the road. At that point, FULLY ALERT, we got on the road again. lol We make it about 3 more hours this time, but our bodies are saying STOP!!! I can't stay awake anymore!!! lol So....guess what!? We pull over again. This time in a rest stop. We learned our lesson on the last stop. lol We both fall asleep and this time for an hour and  half. We wake up feeling refreshed and head into the rest area to get some breakfast. We get our starbucks and are heading over to Buger King for some healthy food (haha) when all of a sudden it hits Drew..."I don't have the keys!" So he runs out to the car and sure enough...there are the keys on the seat and the doors locked. AWESOME! We call the locksmith and $45 bucks later we're on the road again determined to make it all the way to Indiana. And we did!!!! Finally.
So that was our eventful trip. : ) A time we will never forget. And a lesson learned....We are to old to try to make it 10 hours in a car with no sleep. LOL Next time we'll just wait.

3 months left.....whoa

So I am now 6 months along. : ) SO crazy. It seems like just yesterday I was suprising Drew with the news of the baby in my belly and now SHE is growing and kicking....kind of scary, but I'm incredibly excited to meet her. What will she look like? WHO will she look like? lol What part of my crazy ethnic background will come out in her? Whose nose will she have? What kind of personality will she have? Will she be a tomboy or  girly girl? lol So many things to find out.
At his point she is about a foot long and weighs a little over a pound. She's kicking alot and responds to sounds. I think she likes music. I like to sit and listen to music, and she almost always kicks. : )
The nesting they talk about is definitely kicking in. I've never been one to clean all the time. lol Usually I just get to a point where the clutter is to much, and I just have to clean, but lately I'll just start cleaning and I just can't stop. lol I guess it's a nice problem to have. Our bathroom is very nice and clean.
We get to go out to Indiana in 2 weeks!!! She will get to "meet" her Grandma and Grandpa Knight and Auntie Amanda! I'm pretty sure they have thought of different names for themselves (like "Grammie" and "PaPa"), but we'll see what sticks once she can actually form words. lol It's kind of crazy. The last time they saw me I did not have a rather large protruding belly. lol They have seen pictures, but it's not the same. I just wish they lived closer. : ( I know it's hard on them, being their first grandbaby and all. It will be nice, though, to spend the week with them. She'll get to hear their voices in person and not just over the phone. Yes....I put the phone to my belly so Amanda can talk to her. lol
Well, it's bedtime for now. Good night all!

Time to vent a little....

You know what really gets on my nerves sometimes (or "what really grinds my gears!")? When people say that we have poor communication. You know what communication is??? Picking up the phone and talking!!! That's it! There's no real trick to it. Just pick it up, dial, and talk. LOL Many, many things could be avoided if people would just pick up the phone (or with today's technology, email) and let someone know what's going on. Paper would not have to be wasted, as well as time. Work could be done more efficiently. People's stress levels would not be NEARLY as high. And it's always the people that DON'T communicate that complain when information is not relayed to them. lol Sometimes you just have to laugh because it is just absurd. Ok....that is all. I haven't blogged in awhile, so I thought I would let you into my thoughts of the day.
