Two mornings ago at about 5:30am Penny and Smiler ran away! I was woken up by Matt yelling for Penny and I didn't like it. By then Matt had already caught Smiler but Penny was lost. Either someone had opened our gate in the night or Penny somehow got the latch up by a luck. I don't like either option. I just knew I would find Penn ran over on that busy road out front and I was so scared. We called for her for like ten minutes but it was windy and dark and it got us nowhere. So Matt decided to go driving looking for her and I stayed out front still convinced she would get ran over. But within ten minutes of leaving Matt called and said he found her! :) I ran all the way back home for her. She was wondering about eight houses down, lukcily that house has two dogs so there were enough interesting smells for her there. I'm just so glad we found her and she decided to go into someone's yard instead of the road or the woods. And that she actually comes when we call her (as long as there's not another animal involved), because had it Smiler we actually do need to run and tackle her to the ground because she's a punk.
Now they don't get to even be in the fenced-in yard without supervision. Which of course means it's me watching them everytime they're out, but I'm okay with that as long as they're safe.
In better news, I got a Kindle!! I had been wanting one for quite some time but not knowing whether to really get one or not. But I finally did and I loooove it! What finally did it for me is that you can now 'check out' books from our library on the Kindle through their 'digital library'. The selection isn't as big, but they still have all the popular books plus some so it'll probably fit my needs just fine.
Oh, and last week some kind person sent us two $100 giftcards to Cub! Cannot believe it! Inside it just said, 'Tracie and Matthew, Just wanted to bless you'. Cutest, nicest thing ever, huh?? No return address and no sign off. And it is such a blessing as we're trying to save up as much as we can with the baby on the way, especially when we really don't have enough money to begin with. We just thought it was so nice and wanted to tell everyone if we couldn't say thanks to the person themselves.
We got a couple good weekends ahead of us: This weekend we're going to AppleFest either tomorrow or Sunday, and next weekend it's Tenth Avenue North concert and grandparents visit and we're going to the apple orchard with the roaming little piglets! Can't wait!

Hello Again, It's You and Me
Hiya! I suck at blogging nowadays. Or, should I say, did suck. I hope to get better now because yesterday was my last day at the garden center! Though I am considering a new job to get me through the next four months. But we'll see, I have a lot to do around the house and yard.
Only two big things have happened since the last post. One is that we got to hear Eyeball's heartbeat on September 21st!! It was so so soooo amazing! I loved the look on Matt's face :) if our baby's heartbeat is any indication, it's gonna be a super cute baby. On November 2nd we finally get to see the lil bugger in an ultrasound. It can't come soon enough! I wish it could happen sooner, but they're not very good at scheduling appointments there, so I'm having my ultrasound at 22ish weeks instead of between 18-20. Hopefully there won't be anything they find wrong in the ultrasound or I'll be a little angry that they didn't do it sooner.
The next exciting thing is I finally got my Ford Escape!!!!! I love it. It was everything I wanted it to be and a little baby in the back will make it even better. I drove it up to the cabin last weekend and it went there and back without any problems so I feel a lot better about a baby being in it. And there is plenty of room for the girls to be in the way back too, so that's a relief that we'll all be able to travel together when we need to.
I guess one more good thing is in 13 days we get to see Tenth Avenue North! I've only wanted to see them for forever so I'm really excited. Especially to hear "By Your Side" live! My husband is good to me :) We also plan to go to the apple orchard that has the baby piglets roaming free that weekend too. And we get to see our grandparents and that will be nice since we haven't seen them since Christmas and don't plan on going to the Cities for Thanksgiving or Christmas. They will (hopefully) be nice and relaxing holidays this year instead. Complete with a trip to Bentleyville on both Thanksgiving and Christmas.... I can't wait!
That is our life right now. Like I said, hopefully I can update more now that I'm not working full-time and being exhausted all the time. But now for pulling up the garden so we can prepare for a mini covercrop! And I bought tulip bulbs today to plant for spring so I will have a super cute yard which will be good because I have a feeling we'll have a few visitors next spring.
Later!
