Climbing @ Hoosier Heights

A couple weeks ago we went to a huge climbing gym. The night before, Matt said he missed my spunk and sense of adventure due to my expanding belly. Well, MR. RICH, how many other 35 year old, pregnant women do you see here climbing? Back atcha! (Too bad you can't really see me!)

The Bachelorette

My darling friend Rim Jhim from India had us and another cute couple from Mexico over for some YUMMY Indian food. We had a great time. They wanted to know what American food we eat all the time. All I could think of was cold cereal, pb& j, and turkey dinner.
A big group of us went to see the Broadway production of Mamma Mia. We had so much fun. I can't stop singing all of the songs! (thanks for the picture Beth)

Matt, the lucky dog, is spending 2 weeks in Japan. He is doing a study abroad program with the MBA school. It is now day 4 of him being gone and we still haven't heard from him. I confirmed he is still alive with this picture I found on my friends facebook page. Good to know I am not a widow! So far so good. I haven't gone crazy yet (don't worry, there is still time). We have decided to party like it is 1999 while he is gone.

I think I am getting used to this pregnancy thing again. I gag from the depths of my belly everytime I brush my teeth or have any gunk in my throat, but have only puked once. My sweet daughter said, Mom, what color was it? That is the only sympathy I am getting from my dear family. I have this disgusting metalic taste in my mouth that changes the flavor of everything.

Rubes was mad at Coop for something the other day and she said, "He should be PUNISHED for his own sins!!!" She totally cracks me up!

Brewsters!!!

There is a little piece of paradise in Bloomington called Brewsters Ice cream. Yesterday they gave out free waffle cones to anyone that was brave enough to wear their P.J.'s. So much fun! Key lime pie is my favorite flavor. To make the day even better, it was 70 degrees! Tuesday was 11. Go figure! Can't wait to see what the weather will bring us this week! Remember my neighbor who was shoveling snow with a garbage can in her shorts a few posts back? We yesterday she was laying out in her bikini on the driveway!

Introducing our new lima bean.....

Just wanted to let you know the Riches are growing by 2 feet! October 9 is the big day. We got to hear and see our tiny little friend yesterday. You would think the novelty would wear off by #3 but it doesn't. Hearing that heartbeat makes me want to cry every time I hear it! I am 9 weeks tomorrow and feel like hud most of the time, but it will all be worth it in the end.

I need to clarify the last post. We are just doing a summer internship in Ohio. We will keep our place here over the summer AND get a place in OHIO. When that is over we will come back here and Matt will finish his 2nd year.

I was wearing brown tights today and Ruby told me I looked like a brown footed BINGO!

Ohio here we come!

Matt was offered a summer internship with Scotts, you know, the fertilizer company! We are so excited! It seems like a great company to work for. They have their own employee (and spouse) gym and outdoor pool!

It is about 30 miles out of Columbus Ohio. Columbus will be huge compared to Bloomington!! We will only be about 4 hours from Bloomington if we need to come back.

There is a temple there!!! Our closest temple is in Kentucky. I really miss being able to drive 20 minutes in almost any direction and be to a temple.

It is exciting to hear where all of our friends are going to end up. For those of you that are still waiting, you are in our prayers!!!!

Remember The F

We were singing the song Latter Day Prophets and pointing to their pictures. Ruby asked me where Remember The F's picture was. It totally cracked me up!

MBA GALA

Cooper + Sharpie = ART PROJECT



Prince Charming aka Matt requested my royal company at the MBA GALA aka MBA PROM! I was totally shocked because that is not up his royal alley or mine! We had a great time besides the fact that he almost coughed up a LUNG!

The best part was getting all gussied up. My friend came over and did my hair and make up. She also gave Ruby a DOOBIE or a helmet head. Thanks Juliana!

The Gala was very fun. There was an open bar and faux gambling. I took full advantage of the open bar and had 2 Shirley Temples (very appropriate, because I had her hairdo)! Dinner was very yummy. They even had a photographer!

Matt and I started dating after all the proms were over with, so it was pretty dang fun. Now if I can just get Prince Charming to wake up (Theraflu), our fairy tale will continue happily ever after. Maybe I will go kiss him, lets just hope he doesn't turn into a toad!
