School

For those of you who can't stand the anticipation, here's an update of all the departments at the Air Force Academy who do NOT want me to teach for them.

In June I applied to teach for Mech or Aero. In August I went to Colorado Springs for an interview with the Mech Department. They have since ranked me 6 of 8 for 3 spots. Then Aero contacted me and a week later told me that they had not chosen me. The day before Aero's denial, Astro contacted me out of the blue, and I had to consider whether I would want to teach for them or not (I said yes). Astro passed my info to Systems Engineering (which isn't properly a department at all) who then called to ask if I was interested in SE, which did sound interesting to me. I was their second choice, but the Air Force would not let their first choice go. But then they did, so I'm out of that now.

If you were able to follow that, you realize that I am now waiting on Astro to hire me (or not) and send me to grad school. Barring that though, there is still a chance that the Air Force would just decide to send me even without any departments choosing me. Updates here as they are available.

pictures of Sarah

So many of you have asked me for pictures of the pregnancy, and I've done such a bad job! You'd think that we would have taken more pictures of this change, but we just didn't. These are a few pictures that we do have so I thought that I would share. (finally)

This first picture is of us with our good friends Jeff and Sara who moved to Del Rio, TX. (sad) This is the beginning of May when I was about 15 weeks pregnant... there's a little pooch.

This next picture is from July. Here I'm about 23 weeks pregnant... pooch has enlarged, and face has plumped ;-)

In this last picture, I am 34 weeks (exactly) 6 more to go WOOHOO! Pooch is more than a pooch now, it's more like a hard round ball that likes to bump into things all on it's own. Other places have "enlarged" as well now, but the good thing about that is this, I sure will feel good about myself when I lose all the weight! In all fairness though I've only gained about 23 pounds which isn't bad at all. Heidi has gotten bigger too! She is almost 65 pounds now!

So that's that! I promise to try to do a better job... that doesn't mean that I will, but I do promise to try. Don't worry about a lack of pictures of the baby! I know that we will take plenty of those.... we've taken plenty of Heidi. We're just bad at taking pictures of ourselves. I have another doctor's visit tomorrow which I expect to just be more of the same (listen to the heartbeat and measure to see how big she is). If anything interesting pops up though, I'll be sure to share!

Kitchen Pics

Here are some pictures of finished stuff in the kitchen for my Mom. It looks great- thanks Dad.

Weekend

My dad came out for the long weekend and we worked on several house projects together. Here is a picture of us in front of the cabinet/countertop we installed.

We needed several things done around the house and he helped me do them. Most importantly we replaced a section of our roof that was leaking. We also put in this countertop extension making our kitchen drastically more useful, and we put a track light in over the sink. All of them look fantastic. Thanks dad.
