Justins sister kirstin, who lives in calofornia with her husband Gil, just announced a week or so ago that they are pregnant! And will be a having a baby around November. We might not see them very much but hopefully at least once a year at holidays! Kirstin is a few years older than Justin and they have been married for several years. It would be fun to have cousins around the same age, but it doesn't look like we will be having a child this year. When I was growing up I had a brother and sister who were one year apart from me. We were close and were thankful for the small age difference. But all of our cousins were a lot older or a lot younger than us and it was frustrating. So I have always wanted to have children at the same time as my siblings... But we are not following through so well(=

Today is may 9th 2005. yesterday was mothers day and last week was my birthday! I turned 26.. and it was funny because when I turned 25 I had a really hard time. I felt like oh my goodness I am almost 30! And furthermore I am not married and have no idea what I am going to do with my life! So it took a little while to adjust to that, but when I turned 26 it was really no big deal. I felt like "oh, ok... im married now and I don't feel as old and confused about life anymore, so this is not so bad turning 26." Anyways, we had a little party at our apt this weekend. Our apt is super small but we leaned the bed against the wall and rearranged the furniture a little and there is a lot more room!!!!it is much better in here!!!

By the way... hummus is like my favorite food! I haven't had it in a while and then my friend Stacey Barlow brought it to my party. You have to try it, it is so good!

So yesterday on mothers day we were all at my sisters house about ready to eat dessert and my brother in law calls to talk to my mother... now that might not sound strange to you but for him it wasn't normal.. my mom came back into the room acting funny and when she told me the news I screamed!!! Turns out that my sister Jerika is having a BABY!!! Woohoo!! I am super happy but a little sad that I cant have one with her! Her little Lillian is almost 3 and will be a big helper!
