Trimester #2

Hey gang! It's been a great week, here's all the news you need to know:

Lindsay is finally over the morning/all-day sickness! She hasn't felt nauseous for almost a week now. This is much welcomed news. She has now felt some pulling begin in the tummy area. Every time she stands up she feels a tightness of sorts around the mid-section. We have a routine doctor visit this week to hear the heartbeat again.

Lindsay's parents came to town this Memorial Day weekend. We all had a great time, and had the wonderful opportunity to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. To which I must say: this movie was the most fun I have have at the movies in a very VERY long time. One critic said it best: "This movie is not perfect, but it is definitely an Indiana Jones movie." I totally agree, this movie is such a great addition to the series. To say you didn't enjoy this movie, is to say you didn't enjoy the first three. I highly recommend going to see this film on the large screen.

We spent our day off today making our first major venture to check-out baby furniture. All I have to say is "thank goodness for IKEA." We will certainly be making the majority of our large furniture purchases there.

We continue to await news on job opportunities for me. I cross my fingers that we have some sort of answer (regardless of what it is) by the end of this week. At least that way I can stop wondering, and constantly playing out different interview scenarios that could have been.

In entertainment news, we are now only a few weeks away from Star Wars Weekends 2008! For those of you who know me, Star Wars Weekends holds a special place in my heart, and I am very much looking forward to this years event.

On another note, the weather this weekend has quite possibly been the best weather I've ever experienced in Florida. I don't mean to brag to all our friends in the "cooler, less appealing" climates, but check out the picture...jealous!

Please enjoy this weeks pictures. We've had numerous requests from our adoring fans to "put up pictures more regularly!" So I will do my best to have something up every week. Hope you enjoyed your Memorial Day weekend. Take care.

Hurry Up & Wait

Greetings everyone! I wish I had more exciting news to report on, but alas. Nonetheless, here are tonight's headlines. It feels as if we are kind of waiting around for something to happen in many aspects of life. Baby, work, house & finances are just kind of plugging away as we are waiting for later this year.

Lindsay had another visit to the doctor last week and all is well with the kid. They heard the heartbeat again and it is still strong. Apparently my offspring was a little more mobile this time around as every time they would locate the heartbeat it would move out of the way. We found out the magic day, July 8, when we get to find out whether our little creation is a boy or girl!

The trip to Snellville was a success, we made it there and back on only 3.5 tanks of gas. That has recently become our unit of measurement, every financial decision is tagged with "It's either this purchase, or 'X' amount of gas in the car." And to be quite honest, we really don't have it that bad. We live only 7 miles from work, I can only imagine what others are going through. Zoey handled the whole trip surprisingly well. The older she gets the more proud of that dog we become. She's a good girl who I think is looking forward to having someone else in the house as well.

We took a field trip today, using our day off to see the new parade at Disney's Hollywood Studios (formerly the Disney/MGM Studios) entitled: Block Party Bash. It was a good time, Disney entertainment never ceases to amaze me.

This next week will be a quite pleasant one. Lindsay and I already have plans to scope out Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And, I should finally find out some information on my current job status. So there you are, completely caught up on the lives of Chris & Lindsay in Orlando. Hope all is well in your corner of the world. As you can see, things continue to be great in Florida. Take care everyone.
