It's a girl!

Holy Crap!

Andy just got offered the job at Pago!!!!

He starts Monday when he gets back from a trip to Tucson. Seriously, I just can't believe it. Pago's head chef was nominated as the years best new chef in Food and Wine magazine. He's a big deal, and it's amazing that he got the job. They haven't hired anyone new in over a year so this is really, really good news. Can you tell I'm excited?

Some things that are happening

Well, I guess I should start with the fact that I'm pregnant. I'm four months along and doing well.
Baby is due the first week of October.

Andy is looking for a chef job. He's done very well at his work interview things. They are called stages. So far the search has gone much better than expected. His first restaurant choice (Pago) sounded very interested but they don't have much turnover. We did hear some rumors about someone quitting in a few weeks so we'll keep our fingers crossed for that.
But more likely he'll get offered a job at Meditrina. He'll work there or where ever until something opens up at Pago.
I'm so proud of him. He's really impressing people and it's so exciting so see him doing so well. He really is an artist.

Patsy is doing well, although a little more deaf and blind. She's been running into things and falling down the stairs but all in all healthy and energetic for a dog her age.

I am in my eighth year at Discovery Kindergarten and still loving it. Just trying to keep up my old pace and failing but I guess that's to be expected. Turns out being pregnant is tiring and hard and all encompassing. Man, this baby is already a pain.(that's a joke, sort of.) I'm just feeling a little miffed cause I don't have the energy to cook or bake anymore. Cooking is my time to zen out. And me and Andy cooking together! Forget about it! It's heaven. There's nothing I'd rather be doing. Not into laying on the couch any more is the point of this rant I guess.
Despite my negative tone, we are thrilled to be pregnant. We tried for a year so this was quite a surprise in a way. I sort of thought that it would never happen so we are really excited be be moving on to this next journey in our lives.

I'll get some pictures up here some day. Not much to see in the belly department so we'll wait till till I'm actually showing a bit more.

Hope this finds all you friends well!
