Pre-Post to the Post Where I Apologize for My Posts

You know how every other one of my posts is apologizing for not posting lately. Well, look at me pre-planning...

I am hoping that I will be able to post with regularity the next week, but it may not happen.

We are leaving Athens tomorrow (with my baby bro, Bo) to head to Atlanta to help mom with John (my other brother)'s wedding reception party. (you may remember that he got married earlier in the summer.) Now my mom has a chance to throw a fun party for him and Libby.

After this weekend, K-dubs and I will head to downtown Atlanta to prepare and take (well he will take) the Bar exam.

He is so close to being done.

And I am scared shitless by it. It has been almost 4 years (3 years of school and a year of LSAT prep and Bar prep) of our life revolving around law school and law. K-dubs is a work-aholic, and I know this will continue with work but our nights and weekends will have some sort of freedom to it! What is that like!?!?! No studying or worrying about studying or guilt of not studying...

I don't really remember what that was like from D.C. except that it involved being dragged to crazy events and spectacles. And now I can't complain because at least it won't be STUDYING!

Internet Issues

So, you know how I said, I'm sorry for posting, and I'll post more...

I swear it is not my fault. My new place has the worst Internet connection. It goes in and out and is very unreliable.

Here are some high points of my week:

1.) We had our 9th annual Maleless Retreat this weekend. It was wonderful to see almost all of my friends from college. We got to hang out at my parents lake house. This year was a bit different for me since my participation in the drinking games consisted of chugging water (good for the baby, bad for continual sleep).

2.) I got to go see Legally Blonde the Musical with my mom and sister-in-law! It was a lot of fun. I loved seeing the show on MTV and seeing it live was great. Best of all was spending time with Libby. I have to say that I really love getting to know her and am so excited that she is in my family now!

3.) My mom is having John and Libby's wedding party this weekend. So it will be a big party with lots of family and friends. I'm going to have to learn to keep people's hands away from the belly.

4.) Speaking of the belly, I am now officially in maternity clothes. My mom went out with me and helped me find the perfect jeans, lots of maternity shirts, and more maxi dresses. It is actually fun to get dressed now. Before I dreaded the thought of putting on my non-maternity jeans (I didn't even realize it until I got the new jeans).

5.) I went to see a new doctor/practice. Actually, she is a midwife. I liked her, but the practice (we'll call practice B) is definitely not as swanky as the first practice (call practice A). I think it is good to have less doctors (4 as opposed to 6) less chances of having a doctor in the delivery room that I don't know. But really is that even that big of a difference. Practice B seems fine. It doesn't seem as high tech as practice A. Practice A was crazy busy and I would just be a number on a file. Practice A however is very efficient. Any thoughts on which practice to go for? I can't decide.

6.) here is the latest belly pic from this weekend at the lake. (22 weeks)

Busy Week

In the past week, there have been a lot of changes in my life.
1.) Kdubs graduated law school

I have like 3 gazillion pictures (cause I was taking pictures for the school), but I love these close shots of him! So cute.
2.) Why am I all gushy and weird about him right now? Because he moved to Athens and we have to be apart for 17 days. We are currently on day 15. I am holding up tolerably well (read: I am not crying uncontrollably just not 100% happy).
3.) We moved all of our stuff to my parents house (which entailed an 11 hour car ride that took 16!). Got Kdubs settled in Athens (sorta).
4.) AND John and Libby got married this weekend!

This is just a picture from the rehearsal



I'm so happy that Libs is part of the family I could squeal...and well I did.

All in all things are going well. Baby seems fine, my new roommates are moving in on Friday, and my friends are taking great care of me.

Somebody's Getting Married and a lost train of thought

My brother, Choppy, is!!!!

Choppy and Libby got engaged awhile ago, but they have set the date and are getting hitched.

I couldn't be more excited.

Libs is the shizz. I have really loved getting to know her, esp through our rando facebook chats.

I have even gotten to know another one of her bridesmaids from it (hey, Sarah!) and marvel at how weird the world is:
Sarah and I on facebook seem like kindred spirits. We love Gilmore Girls, the Office, Pride & Prejudice, etc. Yeah, this isn't like searching for the lost Incan ruins...there are lots of girls who like those things. But finding someone who does share interests AND is friends with the girl my brother is spending the rest of his life with is awesome! Cause me and John are not really known for our similar interests. (Minus quoting random movies and tv shows-but who doesn't like doing that!)

Any way, Sarah and I had gotten onto the reason I blog because I still don't broadcast my blogging for fear of ridicule.
But I told her I do it because I don't scrapbook, I am not a prolific writer, I like the instant gratification of blogging, and I lose journals left and right (a good example how this applies to blogging--I actually had a different blog for several months before this one, but forgot the password one day and couldn't access my account). I don't blog for people to read it *but love comments. But I do it, because I like to look back on things and realize that there is proof in this world that I am ridiculous. And in some morbid way, I like to think that when I am gone this little piece of me will be around to say, "I existed."

All this to say: I am pumped about John and Libs getting married, meeting new people, and losing my train of thought.
