Blogging Tags

Ok, this is my first tag that I've actually done. Maybe I'll catch up some day and do some other tags that I never followed up on...

Rules: Each player answers the question themselves. At the end of the post the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment letting them know that they've been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person that tagged you know when you've answered the questions on your blog.

Getting Ready for Baby

Jake and I have had fun searching on Craig's list and Ebay for baby stuff. Now that we know we're having a boy we can really start getting ready. My favorite purchase so far is this absolutely adorable bedding that we got on ebay. If you want some cute bedding at a pretty good price, look up JoJo Designs on ebay- some of the cutest things I've ever seen! Now we just need a place to put our baby stuff! We're in the process of looking for a new place to live, but just don't want to leave our area. We have the best ward and love the people in our neighborhood. We're hoping we can find a place around here that's a little bigger than our one bedroom place. Oh the joys of being a young, poor, student couple. :)

We had to take our car in to get fixed up a little bit- after 115,000 miles I think ol' Ruby (our red Honda Accord) needed a good tune up. The mechanic is one of Jake's old young men's leaders. He asked if we had any kids yet and Jake told him that we didn't, but were expecting in December. His reply was, "Oh great! Welcome to poverty!" Thanks... As if the word poverty wasn't enough to really help it sink in, he lets us know that the work on ol' Ruby will cost only $1,025! Thanks again. Cuz, you know, we're just totally loaded. So today when we pick up our beloved car she better be purrin' like no other and getting 40+ miles to the gallon... or else!
