Dahlia Delight

The first week I was here in WA, a lady from church came to visit and brought me flowers. I found out that they were dahlias and that there was a farm near here. Every since then I have wanted to go check it out. Well today I was missing Dan and my friends and even my kids were at school and the day was seeming kind of long, so I decided to go and find the dahlia farm.(Not that I don't have plenty of work to do but...)

I was talking to Kristi on the phone when I caught my first glimpse of the farm. It was beautiful and I'm sure I sounded a little bemused. There were rows and rows of amazing, vivid flowers, some as big as dinner plates. As stated before, my camera was in my van(I knew I left it in there for a reason) but unfortunately the batteries were dead! So tomorrow, I am going to take the real photographer and the kids to the farm and post them later.

I can't get over how cheap the flowers are, $5 for a huge bunch! Woo Hoo! Nothing like flowers to make a girl like me feel better. I made a cool arrangement with a pumpkin but I can't decide if it is too small for the table. I'll post those pictures and you all can give me your opinion! The flowers below are actually the coolest orange color, but again, not the photo pro.

Okay, okay, okay!

After much delay, I am finally starting my own blog so I can ramble all I want! I am currently trying to figure out how to add a countdown ticker to the blog for this pregnancy. I just found out that we have 97 days left, weird. I also need to bring my camera in from the car so I can post pictures. It has been in there since I drove across the country 4 weeks ago! Sad, I know. I have taken lots of pictures on Dan's camera but most of them are in raw(a special fancy mode) that my computer can't read. I'll have to swipe some off of his Smug Mug site.

Is it really only Tuesday? Dan is traveling in Atlanta this week and that seems strange to me. Maybe WA will start to feel like home when he returns from this first trip. Right now it kind of feels like we are on a big, extended vacation that has dragged on a little too long.

Here is a cool video of our baby girl coming in December. We had this ultrasound a few weeks ago. She still looks a little like a character from the Nightmare Before Christmas but we ooohed and aaawed over her like she was a beauty queen.
