Happy April Fool's Day

I'm PREGNANT!!! I'm so excited. We just found out on Monday. It will be the first grandchild for both of our parents. Adrienne, my sister, and my parents are thrilled. We were going to call Jeremy's parents to tell them the news, but we realized they were on a cruise out of the country and therefore without cell service...so we figured that we'd just announce it this way since we know they read our blog. Let's just say I'm expecting a few phone calls. Maybe if it's a girl we'll name her Camila...haha. Too bad our health insurance through BYU expires April 26th thanks to graduation! Lol. Something will work out though. It always does.

In other great news I had a job interview for Quality Control Manager at VMI Nutrition on Tuesday that I feel went really well. I'm hoping to get it! I should find out in two weeks. I feel like this will be a better deal for us than Nestle anyway, even though I was pretty bummed about missing that opportunity. We could move to SLC and get a pre-trained year old lab puppy, and Jeremy could work doing the same research that he's been doing for his professor. Maybe we could even end up with a DISHWASHER or WASHER AND DRYER!!! I'm really excited about the prospect of working for them if they choose to offer me the job. I hope they do. They even offer DENTAL and 401K matching up to 4%. Even if I only end up putting a few thousand in, I have over 40 years until we will need it and by then it could be a LOT more. Of course, we are still hoping that Jeremy gets into St. Louis. Either way, I'm sure what is supposed to happen will and I'm looking forward to May when we have a better idea of what that is. I must say that the waiting game really sucks! I'm happy though that at least things are moving forward, going well, and that we are almost done with school :) Just think. In 9 months we could be real people!

Wow! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you Xan!

If you guys are going to be here when you have your baby, you can extend your BYU health insurance for up to 8 months after graduation. So it could still cover your birth if you're still in Utah. I've looked into this for myself, because I think Dave and I want to get pregnant by the time we graduate next year.

When I first read this, I thought oh, wow, congrats. Then I realized that today is April 1...

So if any of that is real, congrats!

I didn't know you had a blog. Sweet! We have one too. :) If you give me your e-mail, I'll invite you.

What! I knew we'd miss something amazing while we had no contact with our real lives...

In 9 months, maybe you'll have a beautifully trained 1 year old lab named Camile?

Miss you guys. Wish you were zip-lining in the jungle with us. You'd love it. Costa rica maybe?

See you if a few weeks - love you.
