I'm Preggers!!!

So this is the May 3rd proof

And then we have the June 3rd!! (The picture is sideways) But looking at it as posted, the baby is inside the bubble and the big bulge on the right is the adorable little head and the hands are on the top of her tummy and the heart was beating SO FAST right where the smear is. The smear is just the signs of a slightly old ultrasound machine. 

We just set the 18 week ultrasound appointment for Aug. 5th and they'll tell us whether we get a boy or a girl and check a couple other things, but I'm mostly excited about those 4 little words: "Congrats! It's a GIRL!!" :) I guess you can see what I'm pulling for. Dave wants a little boy, but in all reality, it doesn't matter. :) Just so long as we get a healthy little baby who has all her little fingers and toes. :D 

I'M GONNA BE A MOMMY!!!

In other not quite so exciting news, the last little while has been pretty eventful too! Dave is graduating this Saturday, and so I get to have my mom and Sam come visit me for a week! I don't know who's more excited for Dave to be graduating: me or Dave. :) 

I planted a garden in my front yard too! My front yard went from this:

   To this! It's taken us about a month to get this far. All those bricks had to come out kinda slowly since we put them in the trash to be hauled away each week and those cans have a 150 lbs limit. So we would still like to put some mulch on top of everything and then we'll be good but we ran into a bit of trouble with the sprinklers and the soaker hose. So for now this is where we're at... I like it! I think it's incredible improvement. :)

Sure Why Not.

Scholarship Results

Sadly, I didn't get the scholarships. But that's ok. I was recently talking to a very wise somebody and they told me that many people make themselves worse by being focused on being the best. I think I need to not be so concerned with "bestness" and be more concerned with being happy with it myself. 

So even though I didn't get a bunch of money, I learned tons. I'm not nearly as good as I thought I was, or remembered how I was in high school. Which I'm sure is inflated in my mind. I discovered a couple things I can work on and I found a friend with the girl that helped me get ready for the audition.

So overall I think I have a success. :D

Audition

I had an audition for school today! I was applying for 5 different scholarships and acceptance to the department and I think it went very well! I sang 2 songs - Amarilli, Mia Bella and The Lass From The Low Countree. And, as is to be expected, I was very nervous, but I remembered most of what I was supposed to and I did very well! :D I should hear from the school in the end of March/beginning of April. Cross your fingers for me!! :)
