It's Official

For anyone who hasn't heard yet, it has been confirmed and reconfirmed that we will be having...twins. Just kidding. We are having a girl. We are so excited!! It will be so great for our girls to have a sister so close in age. I know that my greatest memories growing up were with my siblings, and especially with my sister Katee is who is only 16 months older than me. Nothing like late nights playing barbies in bed, making up crazy games, reading books, and spending hours in our room doing anything but cleaning it like we were supposed to be doing. In later years, it was talking girl talk, sharing friends, and sharing dinners at college apartments. Now it is sharing crazy kid stories, great deals, and dinner ideas, and trying to make each other feel okay about all of the things we put off doing. :) I love you, Katee! I'm glad to be having another girl, so that they can have each other. And, there really is just one, thank goodness!

The other bit of official news is that the BYU Football is under way. Yes, for all of you who aren't married to a BYU football addict, this means every Saturday from now until Thanksgiving, football becomes the center of our day. If you need to talk to Jared, don't call during game time. If you need him to help you with something, plan to do it well before or well after game time. If you want us to TiVo something special for you, once again, make sure it doesn't occur during game time because, yes, even when he goes to the game, we must TiVo it to rewatch later in slow motion. The best part is that he is working to convert his 1 year old daughter to be a fan. Here is Kenz in her shirt he bought her for this season. What a fan! Game days make a good excuse for Kenz and I to have a special girls day out. This Saturday we headed to the library, the playground, JoAnns, and Wendy's where Kenzie gorged herself on French fries. We'll have to see where next Saturday takes us.
