Dear Friend

I know, I know... its been so long. I have been vowing to write, but it just hasn't been happening lately. Well as most know I'm into my 7th month and starting my last trimester. I came down with a cold a few weeks back that shot me down for a while. I'm feeling much better now, which is good! So I'm back on here writing about my crazy adventures. Don't let me forget to write about how I totally got kissed in the elevator at Adam's birthday. Its a great story, but I'll wait till the end.

So what else is going on in the world of Alli. Well besides the whole baby thing, in typically Alli and Craig style, spreading ourselves thin. Last week was the craziest its been in quite a while. I worked till midnight two nights gearing up for a presentation on Friday. I had book club at my house on Wednesday night, which is fun, but it was hard knowing that I had to work on my presentation after everyone had left. We had Josh's going away party on Friday which lasted till about 2:30. Then Saturday was the doozy of them all. We woke up and had Hayden's 4th birthday in Oceanside. At the same time was Amanda's 30th birthday wine tasting. All the while Josh's dad was flying in and Craig wanted to spend the last day with his best buddy. So after Hayden's, I headed up to Temecula to meet the birthday girl for wine tasting. Craig headed home to meet up with Josh. We were working on a few hours sleep and still this dinner with Josh and his dad that night. We made it work, but were exhausted to say the least by the time Sunday rolled along.

It was hard saying good bye to Josh. Although I know that we will see him when we're back in Kansas, I am more sad for Craig. I know this sounds silly, but you know I'm always worried about my hubs. He is Craig's best friend and I know that its hard for C sometimes being out here when most of his close friends are back in the midwest. Craig had his sad moment too, but we're doing better now. We're excited for Josh. We're excited for him to start a career that he's excited about.

Anywho, other than that, I'm mostly just been working on the baby's room and bugging Shawna and Audrey and Jen about baby stuff. A girl at my work who is due 6 weeks before me gave birth a few days ago. That really freaked me out that she was 5 weeks early. It happens I guess. Amanda, Jen Flen and Steph are coming over on Saturday to help me stencil the walls. The room is definitely starting to come together which is exciting. I'll post some pics once we get it painted. Then Sunday is my UCLA shower. I'm super excited about that! I feel guilty having anyone buy us presents, but mostly just want to hang out with my friends. I miss my UCLA friends a lot. That would be the ONLY reason I would move back to LA is so I'm closer to them. Oh well, I'll settle for seeing them every couple months.

What else? So much to catch up on, but that is it for now. I promise to catch up in the coming weeks. So long for now.

Oh, happy thing that happened today? Got to talk with my Aunt Lynda. I love talking to her about any and everything.
Fun thing that happened today? Well it was my boss' birthday and he get so embarassed by all the girls he works with, so we decided to embarass him more. We made a huge sign on the way up the stairs in the morning, and we decorated his office and we made this huge card with a picture of him with an afro. It was pretty funny. At least embarassing him.

Ciao!
