1. I don’t have anything to say. Anybody that knows me at all knows that I always have something to say, but for some reason when I try and blog I’m just at a loss.
2. I don’t have much going on. Ever since I finished school I have been kind of bored. Don’t get me wrong, I love being done with school. It’s just that life is kind of dull lately.
3. I’ve been kind of bummed out lately. I can’t really figure out what it is that is bumming me out so much. Life is actually pretty good. But I seem to be dwelling on the hard things in life a lot lately and I really need to get past it.
4. Bernd blogs so much that everyone knows what’s going on with us and I don’t really feel the need to elaborate.
So anyway… Here are a few thoughts!
First of all I’m going to be an Aunt! I just found out yesterday that I’m going to have a nephew born in January. I know Josh and Bina really wanted a girl so I hope they aren’t too bummed out, but I really wanted them to have a boy so I’m really excited. This little peanut will be my first niece or nephew so I can’t wait. 
Bernd and I celebrated our one year anniversary on Saturday. I can’t believe it’s already been a year. For whatever reason Bernd and I are not really good about remembering special dates so I was impressed that we both remembered. Ok that’s a little ridiculous because how could you really forget your wedding anniversary? We had some family stuff going on this weekend that kind of put a damper on our special day but Bernd was great about it and tried to help me have a good day. He is such a great husband! Sometimes I wonder how I ended up with him. He’s so good to me and I love him so much!
We continue to work on our house. There is what seems unlimited ways you can pour money into your house. Since we’ve moved here we have painted almost the entire house, replaced the carpet, bought a new stove, fixed the dishwasher, replaced the thermostat, replaced all of the door stops, fixed the hand rails and upgraded the hardware on them and lots of other things that I can’t remember. We are currently working on replacing lights in the whole house. When we moved in everything was gold, and I hate gold. So we are slowly switching everything to silver. Luckily for us Bernd’s friend just built a house and decided to upgrade his lights so we bought his old (brand new) lights from him for really cheap. Also, Josh and Bina gave us a shoe rack thing that I finally got painted. There have been a few things going on with my family lately that have caused us all to come together. I can’t help but think about how lucky I am to have a great supportive family. I know that we will all get through these hard times and come out on the top. But I honestly don’t know how we could get through it all without each other. Besides everything else my parents are facing the decision of moving to Arkansas. I can’t decide how seriously they are thinking about it but with everything that’s going on I think they are trying to play it down. I know that whatever they decide to do will be the right decision but for now I’m choosing not to think about it!

While it would be hard for your parents to have to move away from their family, but if they moved to Arkansas and you wanted to be closer to them, you and Bernd could move somewhere out here and be closer to us! That would be fantastic!
Um, the mid-west? I don't think so...we'll just wait for them to retire and move back here :)
You're not very nice, Bernd. You and Jodi should move closer to us, especially if you ever have children some day.
Mom, you really shouldn't complain. Who really wants to move to Kansas? I'm glad you finally blogged Jodi! See, you do have things to say! Though I understand that sometimes you feel like you have nothing to say, even when you're out doing lots of fun things. You should tell that husband of yours to stop talking so much so you can say something. :D I guess he is definitely the child of our parents . . . .
It wouldn't have to be Kansas - it could be Texas or Oklahoma or Nebraska or Illinois - just somewhere closer would be great. As for the talking, look in the mirror, Marisa!!!!!
YAY a post! It's great to read something from you again. No comment on the Arkansas thing.
