Joe Biden Rally!
Today, I had the pleasure of being able to attend an Obama/Biden rally! Joe Biden came to Cheney Stadium. It was the first time I have ever had a chance to see any political candidates! It was so neat to be watching history in the making. Here are some pictures and videos of my time! I was so lucky, I got to be about 15 feet away from the podium! (Unfortunately there was a miror in front of him so I couldn't see completely well, but it was stil so awesome! I met one of the ladies from BabyCenter there too!

Logan's First Laugh! And I'm Going To Rule The World!
Logan laughed for the first time tonight, and we got it on video! (Oct 10 2008) Auntie Mo was bouncing him on her bed after a stinky diaper hehe! What a cutie!!!
Logan has started this new thing where he acts like Mr. Smithers from the Simpsons! I am pretty sure he is planning to take over the world. :)

Updates
Logan accidently said Daddy this morning! He and Daddy were talking to each other this morning while I was getting ready for school. All of a sudden, I heard Logan say Daddy! He was just imitating, but it came out clear as day!
My friend's little girl will be laid to rest on Saturday. I wish I could be there, but she is in Hawaii.
I was diagnosed with an umbilical hernia in two places today. I will need surgery to get it repaired. I have an appointment on October 22nd with a general surgeon for a consultation. We will hopefully get it scheduled then. It is outpatient surgery, and I should be home the same day. It will be another 2-4 weeks of recovery. After that, I am going to start exercising! I need to shed these baby pounds!
Sorry this is so short, Logan is sleeping on my left arm, so this is all one-handed typing! I'm talented huh? :)

Remembering Mercedez
Yesterday, I got the sad news from one of my online Mommy buddies, that her darling little girl, Mercedez had passed away. She was three weeks older than Logan. We have been talking, along with a group of other women, since December or so. It's really hitting me hard, and I just can't believe it is happening to her. So if you all could take just one second out of your day to think about Pikake (the mommy), her daughters Ashlyn and Siena, and her angel Mercedez.
Updated: We found out this weekend that little Mercedez died from SIDS. :(

October
Wow. I can't believe it is October again.
This year has passed by so quickly, there have been so many huge life changes. Looking back at the past year or so, I don't even know how we did it!
Last August, my mom and little sister moved to Colorado. That was really hard seeing them leave, since I had never been more than 10 minutes away from them my whole life!
Last September, I started going back to school. I started at Bates, in the computer networking systems technician program. I was also working six days a week at the Spaghetti Factory. I would be at school all day (7-3) and then work from 4-11ish. Yikes.
In October, we became pregnant! (We just didn't know it yet!)
On November 16, we found out we were going to have a little one! The next week, for Thanksgiving, Nick and I drove with his parents and brother to California. We went to Disneyland (my first time.. and I couldn't do that much since I was pregnant!), and the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose. We stayed with Nick's Aunt Pattie and her family which was awesome :)
December 5th, Nick proposed to me! He left me a scavenger hunt when I got off work, which ended with him being on the roof of our building and proposing to me over the moonlit city. It was better than I ever could have expected!
January 4th we got married. It was a small little affair at the Lakewood courthouse. We had our wedding dinner at Shenanigan's, and then Nick's parents sent us away to Thornewood Castle for the night. I was blessed and got to have my mom and sister out for the wedding, even though I wasn't sure they'd be able to make it.
I also ended up withdrawing from school in January because I was getting so much morning sickness. Half the time I couldn't make it out of bed, and when I would make it to school I would just sit at my desk and try not to throw up. It was awful.
February, we found out that we were expecting a little boy! It only took me a day or two to really get used to that idea!
In March, Jeanene welcomed her first little man, Joey. He was born on the 5th. When I held him, I couldn't believe that soon I would have one of those too!
In April, I turned 21! I had a baby shower that day with my friends so I wouldn't pay attention to the fact that I couldn't drink lol.
In May, I had the family baby shower. It was a lot of fun! I also was able to see my friend Lisa marry her husband Rick.
In June, Jeanene married Chris, and I started going into early labor by the end of the month.
Three weeks later on July 14, we finally welcomed Logan into the world. That was the best day of my life. (Followed closely by our wedding day!)
In August, we were all just adjusting to Logan being around. My mom and sister came out to visit and be here for my grandma's 80th surprise birthday party.
September, I returned to school at Bates. I switched into the information technology specialist program though. It is a little bit more geared for what I would like to do with my life.
Now, it is October again. If I had been asked a year ago if this is where I saw myself being, I would have said HECK NO! But I am so glad that this is the way life has turned out. I am so lucky to have the man that I do in Nick, and doubly as lucky to have the beautiful son that I do. I love them both so much.
Thanks guys :)
