I'm going to be an aunt! :D Ashley and Ken are expecting a baby in October! I waited and waited for them to announce the news so that I could mention it without stealing their thunder, but they took their sweet time until finally, Ashley posted some nonchalant Facebook status about the difficulty of painting toes with a big belly.

?!!?!

Anyway. I think that means we'll be going to San Diego for Christmas to meet my new nephew, Bubs Lee! :D This year is full of travel for us... Kuwait last month, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, and Chicago (twice) this month, and Australia next month. While I love seeing new places, I am a homebody at heart, and what I really want to do is just to stay at home and organize our new house (which, by the way, is still a total mess). Sigh. My mantra to Tony is always "everything has a place," but so far, nothing in our new house is in place, and it makes my heart very uneasy when I'm at home. I think that's the "J" in me coming out.

In other exciting news... Jen Lu is ENGAGED! :D So happy for my college roomie and her future hubby Al! Another one of my good friends is also expecting! Hmm, not sure if this one has been made public news yet, so I'll have to keep it at that for now. ;)
