blogging blues

I just haven't felt like blogging lately.  It may be due to the fact that I lost the battery charger to my camera and therefore have no pictures to put up.  It may also have to do with the fact that Travis always has the laptop, and I hate using our dinosaur computer, but here I am!  So here is a picture-less synopsis of the last few months!

1.  Malana really loves preschool and dance (and seeing cousin Andrew after dance :))
2.  Our Dryer has broke : $175, our dishwasher broke $? (neither of which have we fixed), the alignment in our car was off, ruining all four of our tires a year before they should have:  $500, Travis dropped his phone in the bathtub two months after getting it : $0 (thanks to a neighbor who was nice enough to give us their old phone),  the car battery in our other car died: $90.  All of this equals complete awesomeness the month before Christmas!
3.   We are going to Mexico in less than a week!  (Thanks to Travis' parent's!!!!)...... that is if Travis' passport gets here, yes, that's right we don't have it yet.  We both applied back in September.  I got mine and the next day Travis got his saying that there was insufficient evidence of his identity and that we had to send in a bunch of extra paper work, do you know how hard it is to find every address he has ever lived at including on his mission,  and the name and number for every work supervisor he has had in the past ten years, as well as five extra forms that have either his picture and name or name and signature on it? We called them last Monday and they said that they had finished processing it, it should be mailed and we should get it by Monday... we leave Tuesday, cross your fingers.
4.  Travis will for sure get the enhanced pat down ;)
5.  We had our first Dr. appointment the day before Halloween, the baby gave us quit the scare, they couldn't hear a heartbeat, so we had to wait a heart wrenching three hours to get an ultrasound, all was good!
6.  Had my fifteen week appointment, and all is well!  I have been feeling the baby move and it is becoming real!
7.We did two craft fairs to sell Travis' pottery that went quit well, but man are those things stressful and exhausting!
8.  Christmas shopping is done!
9.  My parents got their release date!!!!!!!! They will be home on March 16th... so excited!
10.  Our dog died on Thanksgiving Day, it was a sad day.
11.  I feel like I am getting to that stage where people look at you and go "well she is either gaining weight or she's pregnant"
12.  Travis and I both have some pretty awesome and supportive parents!

That's about what is happening around here!  Next time I update hopefully you will be seeing some pretty pictures of warm beaches!
