For all my adoring fans...:)

A lot of people have been asking for me to post pics of my big belly either on here or facebook. I'm not a huge fan of the pregnancy pics normally but Richard took two of me just to satisfy those who want to see it. So here you go!!

Our New Toy

Richard and I are always trying to think of fun things to do. We used to pass ourselves off as single people and go back to our old apartment complex to play pool or ping pong. However, my belly makes it a little hard to do that now.... and we really miss playing those fun games. So we were super excited when we saw these ping pong paddles, balls, and net at Ross for only $6. Since we don't have the space for an actual ping pong table, we thought this was a great idea for us to be able to play on just our kitchen table. It's pretty small but we'll just get that much better practicing on it! Anyone up for a game of miniaturized ping pong?

Back to Normal?

Wow that was quick. I just posted about how crazy life has been and for the last two days I haven't had anything! It feels great for a little while, until I start to go crazy with boredom again : ) Unfortunately, Richard's life went just the opposite. This is just a sample of a normal semester for him and this is what it was like for us today: (also I apologize that this is such a LONG post, but I haven't blogged in a while so it makes up for it, right?)

9:30 pm:
Richard is still at Bishopric interviews but will soon come home to at LEAST 3 more hrs of homework
Kelli decides she is hungry and has a snack while she reads a book

Man, it's hard to tell who's life is harder!!!! Really though, I feel so bad for Richard and I wish I could make things easier on him. It's easy to see why he's been losing weight (and probably some of his hair) lately. Oh the life of a grad student!

Busy Busy Busy

I thought things were supposed to calm down after the holidays. You know, Richard goes back to school and I go back to my boring life. So how is it possible that things have been just as crazy if not MORE crazy after all the holidays were done with? Someone please explain this to me...
