A little bit of everything

A lot has been going on lately, I may or may not be able to remember everything I want to post about. Just some random things first. I went to visit a couple of my old roommates on Sunday, it was fun. There were a lot of their other friends there too, so it was fun to hang out. It was also fun to catch up with Steph, who got married not too long ago. The random part that comes from that trip though is that she mentioned on of her hubby's favorite new foods: pizza sandwiches. I had never heard of them before, but Rick and I tried them and they were actually really good. It is pretty much just like a grilled cheese sandwich, but add some sauce and desired toppings and use mozzarella instead of cheddar cheese. Also, today we hung out with Steve and had delicious Indian food. I'm glad I didn't get mine too spicy, Steve's dish made my nose run it was so hot! I also went with Holly today to get my birthday present: a pedicure. It was pretty magical, there was massage chairs, they massaged my feet and calves and I got a cute pink nailpolish. Only one of the things they did made me giggle, usually my feet aren't ticklish but I guess sometimes they are. Then we went and got some Coldstone ice cream and it was too yummy. I got chocolate cake batter ice cream with strawberries, carmel and chocolate chips, yum yum!

One of the biggest things that has been going on in my life recently has been.......the Olympics! I love them soooooo much. I have them on pretty much as often as I can, and I'll watch any sport. The opening ceremonies were absolutely amazing! I can't wait to watch them again with Rick, it was just a beautiful display put on by the Chinese. And since then I've been keeping up with as many sports as I can get my hands on. I've been missing a lot of the morning sports though, I am usually still sleeping. The Olympics are pretty much the only time I watch sports, but it is just so amazing what people can do, and the way the world can come together to do this is just so great. It is pretty much the only time the international news has happy, positive things in it.

I guess the other big thing going on is moving. We got an extra week which made it so we can take it slow and steady for packing. Our living room is pretty much full of boxes and we have another stack in the bedroom. I've been cleaning slowly too, but there is still a good amount to do. Rick has been great and has been doing a lot. He has some more packing experience than I do, but it is still nice of him to take so much on himself. The walls are looking pretty bare, which is really wierd. The reality of moving hasn't hit me yet though, so hopefully when our truck arrive's tomorrow and the big furniture moves out the move will hit me as real. Right now it just feels like we'll be visiting CA, not living there. I'm excited to spend time with my family. I'm also excited to look for apartments some more, I think that will make it even more real.

Another exciting thing, I've been able to feel the baby move, it is pretty awesome.
