Good News!

I got a phone call last night from my sister-in-law, Heather. She told me some great news about their baby! She had a Dr.'s apointment on Thursday and they were not expecting to find out what the sex of the baby was, but the baby ended up being in the right position. The Dr. told them that it's a boy!! :) Nick and I are so excited for them and that we will have a 2nd nephew. Now Austin won't be the only boy!

Tuesday night we started our volleyball league again since the hurricane hit. We won 2 out of 3 of the games and we had so much fun. I felt like the entire team played really well together! If we win all of our games next Tuesday, there is a good chance that we will make it into the playoffs!

Nick and I went and played racquetball last night and I beat him twice. It was so worth it because I was injured! We had a volley going and the ball was against the left wall and I ran over to return it. Well, I swung and missed like a moron, and the ball smashed me right in the face. Luckily I was wearing my goggles because it hit me in the eye/cheek. The first 3 seconds I was laughing at myself for missing, and then the pain hit and I realized that my cheek felt like it was so swollen and bruised. The glasses had dug right into my cheek under my eye. I am a pretty tough person and I don't cry a lot, but I just couldn't help but cry. I felt like such an idiot. Nick was so sweet and took good care of me though. We took a break and thankfully there was no mark. I got back in and played so hard and beat him. :) It was great!

We also found out this week that we will be going to Iowa for Thanksgiving, Iowa & Indiana for Christmas, and Indiana for Spring break. :) That was such great news! I have so much to look forward to. Also, Heather and Joe will be coming down to visit us in the begginning of December. They were supposed to come 2 weeks after Hurricane Ike, but with so much damage and nothing to do down here, we decided it would be best for them to come in December. I love spending time with family and so it will be great to see everyone! Last year we only went back at Christmas, so I think it will be so nice to go back for Thanksgiving and Spring break. I'm not looking forward to the 17 1/2 hour drive, but it will be so worth it!
