An Ultra-Amazing Week

On Thursday, Jason and I went to our first ultra-sound! It was incredible! After drawing about 10 vials of blood and doing the (oh-so-fun) routine check-up stuff, we got to see our eight week old baby. We could see and hear the heart beating (167 beats per minute). Here is the picture they gave us of our little pinto bean. I know it looks like some kind of astrological phenomenon, but it's our baby. The head is towards the top, the little arm nubs are along the sides and the leg nubs are at the bottom. I love him already!
On Friday, we celebrated our "last supper" with the best neighbors (Tommy & Stephanie) we've ever had. Okay, they're the only neighbors we've ever had, but they really are great and they really are moving to Birmingham. We decided to go to an Irish restaurant out west. You can order such Emerald Isle classics as corned beef and cabbage (YUCK!), sheppard's pie or bangers and mash (which is what I got).
Afterwards we headed to play some pool. It was only 8:30, but I was exhausted. I hung in there for about an hour and then I had to call it quits.

They at least look like they might be pool sharks. I'd say we are all more like pool minnows.
(In the pic from Left to right: Jason, Jason, Kim, Amanda, Jenna with her boyfriend Matt, and Scott is in the front) Saturday I finally got to hang out with friends for a UT football game. We headed to Scott and Amanda's house on Watt's Bar lake. They had petros, chips n' dip, rice crispy treats and various other goodies to make it a little easier to swallow our defeat.

Sunday after church I got a new cell phone. I'm officially connected with my new Blackberry. It's too bad I have no idea how to use it yet. The rest of the afternoon was spent grading essays, making spaghetti and going to small group.

I think Chester is ready for the rain to go away so we can get outside and do something fun! What do you think?
