Cool things happening

There are some cool things that have been happening around here.

First, we are happy to announce the newest addition to our family. Coming May 6, 2011. I have not kept a secert about us being pregnant ever and this time we made it through a whole trimester (okay a little earlier for family like last week or the week before.) I have been sick and way over emotional but Arik has been awesome and the girls are really excited. They kept the secert for 2 weeks which was great!!

Second, this past weekend I got to go to Rexburg for BYUI's lit conference. I was able to meet Brandon Mull (author of the Fablehaven books). I talked to him, shook his hand and everything. Then at lunch this guy sat across from me and my friend. We looked at his name tag and it was Brandon Dorman (the illustrator for the Fablehaven books and many other books). We ate lunch with him talking about callings, his kids and my kids and everything. It was so cool and totally awesome. Both guys are so down to earth and great! It was a very cool experience. Not very often do you get to meet a #1 Times Best selling author or illustrator.

I hope you are feeling better for the rest of it.

It's always fun to meet people that are "celebs". Have you read the Fablehave books. Lee would highly recommend them.
