September!

I'm so excited that it's finally September. The place Stephen and I have been living in this summer is fine, but it doesn't feel like home (plus, it's so far from the grocery store that Stephen has to stop for groceries on his way home from work. It's been weeks since I've gotten to go too!) But we get to go home in just a few more days (11 to be more precise)! There's so much to do! I have another doctor's appointment this next Monday, so we are going to move some of our stuff back to Corvallis this weekend. I don't know how we did it, but our stuff has multiplied! And then next weekend is Sara's wedding, so we have to have everything out and the place cleaned up Friday night. But then we are free!!! Well, free from the paper mill. When we get to Corvallis (to stay!) we are moving out of our old apartment to a two bedroom a couple miles away. Our new kitchen will be a little bit bigger (I think) and there's lots more storage space (yey for closets!) and there is the extra room to turn into an office/nursery! It's in a new ward, which is exciting. When we moved to the mill, we didn't send our records because we knew we were only going to make it to church in the ward about half the Sundays. But right after we moved, the University wards in Corvallis were dissolved. A YSA ward was created, and all us married students were sent to the family wards. So our records have been with a ward in Corvallis that we have never been to! I think it's kinda funny. The elders quorum presidency called us a few weeks ago to ask if they could come over and visit. We told them they were more than welcome, but that they'd have to drive to Claskine! They didn't come :) All the ward hopping has been fun, but I am looking forward to settling down into a ward again.

By the way, the baby is the size of a large mango... 11 inches long and just over a pound!
