It's the question I always dread when I run into someone I haven't seen in a long time. "So, what have you been up to lately?"
It's inevitable, I always know it's coming. Why does this question bother me? Because, it's not like I have some great answer like..."oh, well, Gabe and I went on a Carribean cruise, toured Europe, bought a house, went somewhere different every weekend during the summer."
No, my answer is always "Well you know, the usual. School and work." Unfortunately its true, that is my life in a nut shell, school and work.
Don't get me wrong, I am happy...maybe just a little bored with all the monotony. Anyway, I thought I would fill you all in on "the usual".
School is tough, but it's going well so far. Right now we are planning Fruit & Veggie Fairs for 2 local elementary schools (about 800 students total). The first one will be October 9th - I'll post pictures. Our theme for this year is the "Fruit & Veggie Network" (based off the Food Network). I think it will be really cute...I hope the kids have fun.
And then there's good ole Avalon. It has been a great experience working there and seeing what goes into eating disorder treatment, but I am tired of cooking for 12 adolescent girls. Working there has really helped me develop a passion for eating disorder treatment, but I think I would fit better in an out-patient environment rather than in-patient. It's so hard to develop a relationship with someone who doesn't want help.
Finally, the baby. The baby is doing well, he moves ALL the time now. It is the most amazing feeling in the world. One twitch from him makes my whole day. His movements seem a lot more coordinated now and he is taking advantage of what little space he has in there. I am obviously pregnant now and I think the fact that my belly is huge has really made the whole thing real to Gabe. He is so cute, he will be such a great dad. He's having a hard time with patience though, he's bored with pregnancy and wants to play with the baby. I on the other hand am not quite ready for delivery - the thought still freaks me out a little.
Well there you have it. A super long update - I hope to have more interesting posts soon.

Hey I think that you have a great life actually, not boring ") I DO know what you mean about monotony though. I was so scared about delivery (I've told you before but...now you'll hear it again) but I LOVED the hospital time! I got to love and hold my baby, get visits from others get waited on. Not to say I was glad when I got to go home, it was just so fun to see the baby after he came out, see him, remember him ") I'm sure you'll love it too, the nurses will attend to you and tell you all you need to do! Janurary!!!!
Thanks for the long post :) I hope you post more pictures of your growing baby bump soon. I really miss you guys.
And I think you would enjoy a half marathon. I really liked it. Training is so not fun but crossing the finishing line is so exhilirating (I'm not sure I spelled that right, but that how it feels)!
I love that scripture on the top of your blog! It's really nice.
I know what you mean about not having something fun to report. Wes and I haven't really been on a vacation since our honeymoon. We definately could use one just to shake things up. I wish that we could report that we had been on a carribean cruse too! Don't worry about the delivery too much. I have been through it twice and I am still alive!:) I was really scared my first time too though. It is definately natural to be nervous about something you have never been through before.
