And I must say that in respect to the BIGGER arena...this boob thing is just ridiculous! I mean really, this is just the beginning & things are already starting to overflow, I was expecting some changes but seriously...anyway, you don't want to hear about all that!
At least I am not vomiting or having morning (all-day) sickness anymore. Mostly I am just more tired than usual. It seems like I am moving from my spicy/salty cravings into a sweets cravings zone. Except last night I probably could have eaten an entire can of diced tomatoes if I had the chance...instead I made meat sauce for pasta & mostly just devoured the sauce. I am still enjoying fruits a lot...grapes are especially good & Ryan keeps making fun of me for buying/eating baby food like the plums (of course I've always liked those) and the peach cobbler, etc.
So the big open house & live radio remote went really well in Abilene last Thursday. I drove up and got some fresh flowers for the house & hung out for awhile to see how things we going. I wasn't planning on staying through the open house because I didn't want people to feel uncomfortable looking at the house with the owner there - but no one even noticed. There were 47 people that went through, but no offers yet. I got really light headed & hot while I was standing in the kitchen & started seeing spots...thought I might pass out...how embarassing! Then I realized that I hadn't had a snack for a couple of hours & I had left my bottle of water in the car. Drank 1/2 a bottle of water & had some candy & started feeling much better.
Yesterday Ryan & I took the Jeep & two fourwheelers to the farm & had a really great day. We drove the Jeep around the pasture & through the pond - got it the dirtiest it has ever been since we bought it! Mud on the roof and everything! Of course we washed it as soon as we got home :) Then Ryan drove me around very slowly & carefully on the Kawasawki. We checked out all the areas where we can make trails and drive through the creek...it is absolutely awesome! I think we are going to build a little fire pit back in this open clearing near the trees. We can't wait to get a chainsaw & start clearing some of the brush so we have some better paths. There are some great areas where you can ride through the creek that are just sand & barely any water! Perfect conditions for loads of fun! We just wish that all our riding friends lived closer so we can go out all the time & ride with them. I am sure that we will have some good times soon though.
Kasey had a great time running around the farm too! She participated in the muddin experience & she loved running through the creek. She was sooooo tired by the time we were done though. It turned out to be a beautiful day...the weather was pretty comfortable with jackets. Being out there just made me want to get busy with the house plans & get that thing built!
Ryan stopped for half a second for a picture...he just got done getting the fourwheeler out of the creek where the icky nasty quicksand-like stuff sucked him into a gunky pit!
