Excitement!

So, I woke up at 7:45 this morning! (I know I know, this isn't THAT early..but remember it's SATURDAY) I woke up early so that I could check into our flight exactly 24 hours before it takes off tomorrow to L.A.! My mom told me that if I wanted good seats on the plane, I needed to check in at EXACTLY 24 hours prior to our flight. So, I did....and I think we got good seats! Who knows! We're flying cheap Southwest so no seats can really be good seats can they? Anyways, I'm excited for the rest of my day because I have nothing to do but pack and clean my house before we leave. We don't have much planned once we get into Mexico but we will definately find stuff to do when we get there! I bought some motion sickness pills for Dave hoping that he won't really need them but being prepared in case he does. When I've cruised before I have never gotten motion sickness but I've never cruised while pregnant!! Oh well, I guess if I do, I will just have to be tough since I can't take anything for it. I'm also in the awkward chubby stage of being pregnant, I have a little baby belly but it's not enough for someone to think "is she pregnant?" it's more just like "that girl needs to lose some lbs.!" So, wearing a swimsuit in front of a lot of people is not exciting me very much right now and I don't think I'll be taking any full length bathing suit pictures...sorry for those of you that were hoping for some! Haha. Anyways, we're both super excited and can't wait to have our last chance vacation before we have our little family.

On another note, I just had to post these pictures to show how cute my husband is. Right now his calling in church is the Venturing Crew Scout Leader. Basically he is the leader of the 16 and 17 years old scouts. When he was called to this position the Bishop told him that his duty was to help these kids get their Eagle Scouts and to get them on a mission. Well, Dave can check one of them off his list. One kid is just getting ready to complete his Eagle. He is organizing a project where his goal is to make 50 fleece blankets for the kids at Primary Children's Hospital. He has asked for donations of fabric and money and then organized a date for people to get together and tie the blankets. Unfortunately, the date he picked to tie them is a day that we will still be on our vacation so, I bought some cute fabric and Dave has been plugging along trying to get them tied so that we can give them to this kid before we leave. He came home from work (as you can tell by his extremely dirty clothes, but don't worry we washed the blankets afterwards) and started working on them. He is such a hard worker and I know his calling is really hard for him. He works really long days and when he gets home he usually has to go down to our farm and feed animals and do other things on the farm so by the time he's done for the day, I know he's exhausted. I love my husband and he is such a great example to me! I'm also really excited we could help this kid get his Eagle Scout Project done! It was a fun little project for us to do together.
