Sorry Sarah:(

Let me take this opportunity to officially state that I am an ASS. I swear on my life that I had every intention of going to your party. I went home early from work so that I could get my laundry done, so that I could pack for my trip on Saturday. I told Travis to be sure he was home by 5, so he could shower and be ready to go with me. I put my first load in around 3pm and my 2nd at around 430pm and Travis was home at 5 and showered promptly. We both laid down on the bed and waited for my laundry to be done. I woke up at 946pm and smacked Travis, "WHY DID YOU LET ME FALL ASLEEP?!!!!!!". "Wha? Huh? Wha?".

So there you have it...we fell asleep for almost 5 solid hours!! I honestly don't know how it happened and I was so angry at Travis, I felt bad afterwards. It of course wasn't his fault because we both fell asleep. So, I am glad that I called you earlier to wish you a happy birthday. From your blog, it sounds like you had an excellent party. I am so pissed. I really wanted to see Beth, Howard, Erin, Nate, David & Michael and I really wanted to hear Tyler and his band play:) And see you of course. I hope you can forgive me. If I wasn't pregnant, this never would have happened, so technically we can all blame Cole:) I'm sure that me not being there didn't ruin anything but I am still sorry. I was looking forward to us being able to talk about being 30 together:) So...HAPPY BIRTHDAY you beautiful girl!!! I LOVE YOU TONS & TONS!!!!!!

On another note...I went to my big sis's bridal shower over the weekend and I didn't miss that by falling asleep:) It was the first bridal shower I have ever helped throw and I must say that it was the best shower I have ever been to. We had the best food and the prettiest decorations. The room was filled with great funny people who adore my sister and it couldn't have run smoother. Good times!! I swear, my belly doubled in size while I was gone and I think I'm finally starting to look pregnant:)

Hey

Well...my 30th birthday sucked. Being one not to dwell on things, I'm not going to go into great detail but lets just say that EVERYONE from Travis' family forgot my birthday and when I say everyone, I mean everyone (even Travis). I understand that he knows my birthday is June 14th and he was unaware that Thursday's date was June 14th but come on. Put forth a little effort. We have been together for eleven years and this is the first time he completely forgot, which I guess is ok, as long as it never happens again:) Whatever, I'm over it.

Being 30 really isn't much different than being 29. I haven't really even thought about the fact that I am 30 until writing about it right now. I'm definitely more consumed with the birth of my first baby!! He is definitely growing like a weed inside of me because he can reach all new places to kick. My sister Sarah's bridal shower is this weekend and I'm so looking forward to seeing my sisters and mom!! I fly up Saturday morning and I rented a car, so I have to drive to Chico all by myself for the very first time. Ususally, my mom or sister pick me up from the airport but I decided to let them off the hook and just drive myself. The more I think about it, I wish I wouldn't have because I will miss the conversation:( It is an hour and a half drive from the airport in Sacramento to Chico and it usually flies by when I have someone to talk to. Oh well, it will be an experience.

Travis finally started putting down our wood floors and they look awesome. I can't wait until they're done. Travis stayed the night in Mesquite last night which sucked big time. He is trying to get a big job done there, so that all of his workers can be here in Las Vegas to work on their next job at Nellis Airforce Base. He is such a hard worker and I love him for that but I definitely hate it when it keeps him away from me. I don't like sleeping alone:( Well, that is a recap of my uneventful life.

UFC Champion

My boy is a wild and crazy kicking and punching machine:) It is crazy how active he is during the day and especially at night. If this is an indicator of how active he is going to be when he is born, I'm in trouble. I can't believe I will be 6 months pregnant in a week! It has gone by so fast! At first I was a little freaked out, waiting to feel him. Now I love that I get to feel him all day...it's like a secret party going on that only I know about. I can't wait to kiss this baby and smother him with lovins.

He will undoubtedly be the most spoiled child on this planet. I will have to work extra hard to teach him that you he can't always get what he wants because I know that my mom and dad will be waiting in the wings to get him whatever he desires:) It will be a first grandchild for both of them and they can hardly stand it:) My mom is of course more open about how excited she is but my dad drops his little hints here and there about how he can't wait to be somebody's grandpa and all of the stuff he's going to teach him. I think my dad is mostly excited because I'm having a boy. He had 3 girls, no boys and although he says he doesn't think he missed out on anything, I know he's thrilled to have a boy in the family. He was thrilled to have a son-in-law when I married Travis, so I can only imagine how happy he is to be having a grandson. I'm so happy that my baby will be surrounded by so much love in his life. I was never very close with my grandparents and once we moved to California, I didn't really get to see my aunts, uncles or cousins very often. When I moved to Las Vegas, I never saw or heard from anyone. I know of course that this was partially my fault but it was never instilled in me by my parents how important grandparents are. I know my boy will know and love and appreciate his grandparents and that makes me happy. I also have a webcam, so both my mom and Sarah can check in on him whenever they want:) I think eventually Sarah will move here and I know my mom will come here all of the time once he is born. Family is the most important thing to me and I hope to pass that on by example to Cole.
