1+1=3

It is so nice having Chris home again. It's funny how quickly I can forget the little things I appreciate about my significant other.

Just the other night, I thought someone was sleeping in MY bed...oh-wait-that's just Chris. (I forgot that he was home after him being gone for a month!)

Despite my forgetfulness, I'm thrilled to have my other half home who completes me so well. For example: Laundry. I don't mind doing the laundry, folding the laundry, and putting the clean laundry back in the basket. But somehow between getting it all clean and folded, I lose interest in actually putting it away. So, when Chris got home, he laughed a bit and helped me get our clean laundry piles all put away. Additionally, I was getting a bowl of cereal (Chocolate Cheerios--by the way-if you have not tried them, you should! They are quite delicious), and I noticed that miraculously all the clean dishes in the drying rack have disappeared. Amazing! And again, I am thankful my wonderful husband is here to fill in for the things that I do not do as well. (Although....I know he's thrilled he doesn't have to do the dishes all that often....so I'm glad we are a good team)

Ah yes, I'm sure you are wondering what this equation is about?

Yesterday we got to go to the doctor for another check up appointment. Since we are not sure what to expect, the element of surprise in the visit is always exciting. Yesterday we got to hear the heartbeat of our little one. Thump Thump, Thump Thump....
It will be another month before our next visit--and we decided we are not going to find out the gender. While I know this is frustrating for the mass number of people who are excited for us, you will just have to wait in anticipation until this fall to find out : - )

Also, we have been on the mad hunt for houses since Chris returned last week. I we have made 2 trips to Wichita in the past week...with a forecast of another trip this weekend. The nice thing is that a 2 hour drive is not that bad.....but we wish we were flying there instead! We have a few prospects in mind, but are going to continue to look this weekend, hoping to find our new home. Since we graduate in May, we are excited about moving closer to friends and family and actually having a house. We can't wait!
