A few thoughts

• We're debt-free. It feels amazing!
• Remind me not to move when I am 9 months pregnant ever again. Kudos to my mom who did it with the twins (and 6 other kids)!
• No baby yet. Could be a couple of weeks still. I've been telling people that we need our washer and dryer installed first. This was supposed to be done weeks ago, and I have no idea when it will be finished. All I know is baby can't come until then :)

A walk in the park

I had the brilliant (if I do say so myself :) idea for a walk around a local park. It was the perfect fall weather, and we have so many trees turning a pretty yellow right now. None of us knew there was a big hill in the middle of the loop, but good exercise, right? We all enjoyed ourselves and are thinking of making it a weekly event.

We've added a couple ladies to our local number this summer, and lost one to Williston. More North Dakotans are always welcome!

In a rut

A characteristic of oil country summers: ruts in the tar. Some of them are so deep, the middle raised part can scrape the bottom of unsuspecting cars!

I never would have thought of this happening before seeing it.

Now I know why Mark's crew can't move their rig when it's over 85 degrees out- it is so heavy, it will wreck the roads.

Nosebleeds

Anyone else have horrible nosebleeds while pregnant? It scared both my husband and me when we woke early this morning to a puddle of blood on my pillow. I've had some nasal congestion too, and it seems they are related. Yuck!

I got my car detailed inside and the seat installed, so at least that is clean and ready for baby. If only my house was that clean...
