Why did you say that?

This past month I have had some interesting things said to me.

1. Lady "Ummm....I don't want to be rude, but are you having another baby?"
So what your saying is I don't want to be rude, but I am going to be rude anyways.
Me: "yes"
Lady: "I thought you had a belly" She then proceeded to tell me how I was having a boy and then tells a Lady near by that I am expecting my third boy (I already know I am having a girl, but whatever).
me: "Yep" Smile and put Blake, Tyler, my belly, and myself in the car.
I wonder what she would have said if I told her I wasn't going to have another baby.

2. This one needs a little background info. I am taking classes online, therefore all communication with the class is done online. For one of the classes we were talking about technology and how it changes society. I had made a comment about "texting" and how I was surprised sometimes about when and where I see people texting. I had also mentioned that I didn't have a cell phone and maybe I was out of the loop on the importance of texting.

The comment I got back went like this: Natalie, people in my generation find it much more convenient to text eachother...blah...blah...blah.

I know that 25 years old is a little older than most people getting their bachelors, however just because I don't have a cell phone does not mean that I am not part of YOUR generation.
I thought this was pretty funny. I guess it was unthinkable that someone under 60 might not have a cell phone.

3. My doctor (who I love) found out that Matt is going to Law School. She gave me a very serious look and said "Honey, you need to make sure you attend every law social event there is. Even if he goes somewhere for lunch, you be there. There are gold diggers who won't care if your husband is married. You show them that he has a wife who knows what's going on."
I could tell she was very concerned for me so I assured her that I would. However, I couldn't help but smile if she only knew Matt she would know that there is no cause for worry. I am sure that there may be gold diggers after Matt, but he is such a good, loyal man that those gold diggers won't have a chance.

Matt has been accepted to the University of Denver. He will be getting his masters in law that specializes in tax. Congratulations Matt! We are so proud of you. The program is a year long and then we will (hopefully) be DONE with school!! Matt works so hard in school, in his church callings, and as a husband and father. Thanks Matt for all that you do!

Unfortunately, school starts June 7th, which is one day after my due date. You may be thinking this sounds familiar. That is because the same thing happened when I was pregnant with Blake (due 8-22) and Matt had to be in Arkansas for law school (8-23). I guess we really like to make things exciting when we have a baby!

I just talked to my doctor today and she is going to induce me (probably a week early) before we make the move to CO. Life is going to get real exciting soon.
