25 business days left

Not that I'm counting but I have 25 business days left until my last day of work. I handed in my resignation last Monday and have been sharing the news today with my co-workers. I'm relieved to finally get it out in the open. Most people don't get it right away and think I'm talking about maternity leave but then I say no, I'm not coming back EVER.

Baby Thorpe continues to move around a lot and bother me. I'm pretty much ready for him to make an appearance. I still have 7 weeks but at this point I feel like I've been pregnant forever. I don't even remember what it was like to not bump my belly into things or to not constantly spill food or drink on my shirt.

About a week ago was my shower. My mom was able to fly out for it and we had a good time. Since I'm not that big on cake the hostess made pies and they were fabulous. My apple has never tasted like that before.

Back during the week of July 4th Dan and I volunteered for the first ever National Special Olympics which were held in Ames. We were scorekeepers for bowling one afternoon. It was a lot of fun and I was amazed at the talent the athletes had. There was a lot of cheering and high fives going on. Over all it was a great experience and I'm hoping it won't be the last time I volunteer for Special Olympics.

And now...some pics!
