Joni's dad Brent sent us some great pictures that I had to share with you, I hope he doesn't mind. One of his most favorite things to do in his spare time is wake up at 2-3 in the morning and go find the perfect spot to take pictures. He waits for hours sometimes to get the perfect shot, and he has won several awards for what he does. I think its so cool that he is so into it, and it makes me appreciate what it takes to get the "perfect shot" sometimes.I must have laughed out loud for 5 minutes at this picture. Brent also works for UPS and his son Zach had a surprise waiting for him when he got home.

I totally forgot about this picture, I was dared to stand under this waterfall...made for another great shot. We said goodbye to West Hartford last week. Our time there went by so fast. Connecticut was such a fun place to live, and once again we realized that we can be happy no matter where we are. We have been fortunate to have loved every place we've been along the way. We had one last Wipeout Wednesday, and some of Joni's friends were nice enough to throw her a baby shower before we left.We'll miss our friends and hope to keep in touch...(sorry Janae, I overheard you say you didn't want this picture on a blog but we loved this picture of everyone, Joni was strategically hiding behind the couch)On to North Carolina...we'll post some pics of our new place soon. We live out in the country on 82 acres of trees, pastures, and roaming buffalo (thats right...buffalo). We drink well water and I swear every morning I walk outside I feel like I'm camping. We love it so far, and this will be far and away the most different living situation we have ever experienced. My office at work is right on the plant floor, and I'm totally excited to work around my kind of people once again, brings back memories of Lowe's. These are people that live simple lives, and they've worked for the same company for up to 35 years. They all have great stories to tell, and enjoy the most important things in life. Everyone is so laid back, polite, and southern accents are very thick here.

Joni has a wonderful doctor, and she'll be having the baby in one of the best labor and delivery hospitals in the US at UNC Chapel Hill. We feel very blessed. I think Joni is doing pretty well considering she feels like a wooly mammoth all the time (hot and huge), she doesn't look that big but I guess it has to be pretty uncomfortable to be pregnant in more ways than one. Just a few more weeks to go.
