Yea, so I have no title to put in there so a star seemed apporiate : ) Well, I am attempting to blog here at work so we will see how far along this will go!

But we had an amazing vacation : ) Oh I loved it we had absolutely beautiful weather with the expection of Sunday where it rained all day long but we spent some days going through some smaller towns and enjoying all the antique stores and the craft stores, well I did Chad not so much! But we went to the beach every night and made me wish badly that we could attempt to afford a beach house! You know just for the weekends and summertime! But with the lovely Apple Festival in town, we were kinda stuck in our house for the weekend but we did go up town once to do something at the barber shop and I got my Bouthans (sp?) and my elephant ear as well! And Saturday Chad and I went to the MSU/ND football game and Chad so nicely sported a MSU t-shirt and enjoyed a wonderful victory as well! Despite the fact that we got lost and had a slight meltdown mainly on my part it all went pretty well!

Ok, so in my last post I just pretty much left everyone hanging but we are pregnant : ) Which we kept secret for about 4 weeks and the longest 4 weeks of my life mind you but I wanted to get past where I was when I miscarried the last time and wait until my doctors appointment until we finally reveal the big news! But everything seems to be going well... eating seems to be a day to day thing, I never know what is going to go down completely but I have learned that this baby doesn't like sweets but loves chocolate and mexican food : ) But next week I head to the doctor again to hear the heartbeat which is so exciting! But at this point has anyone else not felt like they were completely pregnant? Because I mean my pants and food tell me I am and this is such an early stage but it is like when I go to Target and look at Maternity clothes that even though I am not showing I still feel a little funny being in there .. but all in all it has been an experience to say the least!

I will leave you with some fun pictures from our vacation....


Ok so shutterfly is currently having "issues" so I will post this at a later time!

Oh by the way....

I am pregnant : ) April 20th .. mark it on your calendars : )

Has it been this long ...

Gosh, has been over a month or more since I last blogged anything? Either on here or Xanga! Gosh, I need to get off my lazy butt and blog about stuff! Well, expect for not much going on in the Burkholder household! But, we are getting ready for a week of vacation : ) Chad has shut down the barber shop for a week and we are taking off for South Haven, Michigan for a week of just pure relaxation and eating at really good restaurants : ) Which is pretty much all that I care about at this point, just getting away and just enjoying a couple days away with my husband! Then it is back home and dreading the god awful Apple Festival. I wouldn't mind it so much if I wasn't right there by it and we were putting much stuck in our house for those 3 days but... the only good thing that comes with that is the food and the fact that I can just walk right up to town and get it : ) No having to find a parking spot or anything!

I am definitely loving this cooler weather, I get giddy inside about the leaves changing color, and the weather getting cooler in the day and putting summer behind us and looking forward to Fall! I think that Indiana hands down has one of the best fall seasons around .. the only downside is having to hail all of our leaves down the alley way to have them picked up .. but oh well hopefully we can enjoy the next fall in a different home!

It seems that after summer our weekends and weeknights just get filled up to the brim, it seems that from August to January we are on birthday over loads, holiday over loads, and wedding over loads, and with that comes deer season, where I will become a hunting widow for the next 4 months... oh well at least I can flock to the deer widows and hang out with them too : )

Well, that is pretty much all that is going on .. I will make sure the post some pictures on our vacation as soon as I get the hang of using blogger instead of xanga .. change is hard*
