So my brother called me this morning at 8:35am to tell me my Sister-in-law is pregnant, I get to be an Aunt again.

Now follow the conversation:
Me: So when is the baby due?
Corey (my brother): in May.
Me: What!?! What is that, like nine months?
Corey: No, seven.....and a half.
Me: So when can we find out if it is a girl or boy.
Corey: At 10 weeks

My true thought is = Why are they telling me now? This baby is not even going to be here for a long time. I can't even go shopping until after we know it is a boy or girl. Good gracious! I can't even come up with dorky/bizarre names for the baby until I know it is a boy or girl!

When Sara was pregnant with Caimon we came up with bizarre names to call him until Corey and Sara decided to tell us what name they had came up with. So I called Caimon, Baz. I looked it up, it means "dangerous spear" in Gaelic. So now I need to go look up more bizarre names, but I can't narrow it down for another few weeks. Dorks!

wheat demo

Sorry I didn't take pictures. I looked funny in my apron and cooking at the chapel. I got to do a demo on wheat since I am the ward emergency preparedness person. Basically all I did was to tell everyone how to do the family waffle recipe.

1 Cup Wheat
2 Cups Milk
Blend wheat and milk for 5 minutes

3 Tablespoons honey or sugar
2 eggs
½ square butter
1 teaspoon baking powder
Dash salt
1 cup white flour
Blend the rest of the ingredients in with the wheat and milk mixture, gradually adding ¼ cup of flour at a time.

Midnight Sun

Since I love reading Stephenie Meyer books, I thought I would mention Stephenie's post about Midnight Sun on her website. It's a bummer she is not going to finish Edward's perspective, it's only 264 pages so far. The first chapter has been up on her website for a while. (I should mention her brother Seth does a great job being the webmaster!)

Vice President

I have been emailing back and forth with one of my freshman roommates, Emily, about the election. Emily is really into politics, it is always fun to talk about it with her. So I had emailed her about McCain's VP selection speculation and Emily said it was going to be the Alaskan Governor. My first thought is, "who is that"? So I was completely shocked when McCain announced Sarah Palin the Alaskan Governor, but Emily was right, she is always right!

So I got to go to a Republican rally a couple of weeks ago where Mitt Romney spoke. Local politicians also spoke. I was disappointed that the locals didn't give reasons why I should vote for them besides being a Republican. I believe in voting for the person and not the party, so I wish they would have said why they were running for office.
