Grandma and Grandpa Olson

Grandma Olson passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 22 at around 12:45 pm PST in Spokane, WA at home. She was very loving and kind, and always made you feel wonderful. She will truly be missed. I love you Grandma.

North Carolina...and beyond






So Rob and I went to North Carolina for a long weekend. It was actually pretty fun, despite the constant thunderstorms. The thunderstorms were actually even pretty cool. They were loud! We still found stuff to keep ourselves busy though. We went to a farmer's market and bough some fresh fruit. There we saw the USS North Carolina, which is pictured above. And also the fun river scene. We went to the Cotton Exchange, which is a specilaty mall built in really old buildings. We got massages, and even went to the mall, which was actually quite fun, becuase I found some frogs I want to buy! They live in their own ecosystem. You only have to feed them like once a week and change their water 2x a year! Practically can't kill them even if you tried! That's the type of water pet I need!

In memory, Rob's grandma passed away this weekend too. She will surely be missed. Rob has such great fond memories of her and the time they shared together. We will be traveling to Idaho over Labor Day weekend. We will fly into SLC and then Kilee is kind enough to let us borrow her car to get up to Idaho. On the upside. When we get back to SLC, we get to go to Cafe Rio! Yumm...the best place in Utah, by far!

On another note...today starts 10 weeks of pregnancy! Yay! We're moving right along. That's the upside. The other side, I woke up to a belly! I am getting bigger! I have a little pooch. I can't say I'm too thrilled about it, as I thought I had another few weeks still to go. I think I can hide it a bit longer though. Not ready to tell anybody yet!

We took a couple of days off to go to the beach! We just got to the hotel.

DENNIS!!!

Yeah, so yelling at Dennis while he's peeing on the carpet... Not a good idea. Ooops

Happy Birthday Shauna!!

I threw a surprise party for Shauna! She thought I didn't get here a cake. I infact got her a cake with little mutant aliens on it, which I later found out were bees...

GOING STRONG (for the most part)


So we just got back from the doctor (actually meeting our midwife) and things went well. We like her. She's pretty nice, and also very willing to sit down with you and answer any questions you have. She also gave me medicine for nausea! YAY!! Big YAY!! Hopefully this will help! My due date got moved back a few days, now I am due on March 21, 2010. Which still leaves me ending out the 8th week. On monday (my birthday nonetheless) I'll be starting week 9! That's our little blob above, but I guess I need a new nickname for him/her, because it actually has a BIG head, some arms and legs now! What the coolest part was, is that it was dancing around for us! Very awesome! It just wouldn't stop moving! It did put a huge smile on my face!

Nashville at Night

Last night we went to dinner and walked past this place. It looked a little cooler than my phone could capture.

Nashville, TN - DREN Networkers Conference

The Lowes Vanderbilt is a pretty nice hotel. Here is a picture of my room. I walked to get a haircut before my presentation tomorrow and saw a 5 Guys way over here in TN. I also saw the most used telephone pole ever!
