Sunshine!

So the weather forecast for today says it's supposed to be 66!!! It's already over 60 and it's wonderful. Unfortunately we're getting over 30 mile/hr. winds, but it's still nice! Saturday was a nice day too. Jeremy and I spent a few hours out in the yard getting started on one of the many projects we have planned for this year. Whoever originally put the yard in didn't bother to level it out, so we have lots of lumps and an extreme slope in our backyard. So last August my dad and Jeremy started moving dirt onto the low parts and then this Saturday Jeremy and I did a lot more. Lucky for us, there is a huge pile of dirt in the empty lot diagonally behind us, so we've just been helping ourselves to lots of dirt! Poor Jeremy was shoveling one wheelbarrow-full at a time, but it's making a big difference. He would shovel and dump and then I would rake and spread it out and make it level. We got a lot done, but there's still plenty to do.

Also recently, we got our rebate check from American Express. (We have a Costco American Express card that gives you between 1%-3% on everything you buy). So it comes in a Costco gift certificate, so we decided to buy a new camera! We'd been scoping out this camera for a few months, and the price has been fluctuating. The day we went to buy it, it was at an all time low. Hooray! So we got a camera, some food and then they gave us the rest back in cash. It was a very happy day. So here's our new camera:
It seems pretty nice! It also came with a free 2GB memory card, so that was exciting. We decided we wanted a higher quality camera since we're having a baby. Now we just need to be better about taking pictures!

So that's what's new with us. I am doing much better, by the way, with my infection. I took my last antibiotic pill last night, so hopefully it's really gone. Thanks for all your concern! I'm feeling great though and can't believe I only have 6 1/2 more weeks till the baby's due!
