Boy or Girl?

So tomorrow is the day we find out if our family will be welcoming a baby boy or another baby girl! I have attached a picture of Holly that I just took over lunch today. Doesn't she look so amazing? She is at 21 weeks, and is just glowing! I love rubbing her belly when she stops for lunch. Holly said that if she has any motherly instinct at all she thinks it's a boy. And according to the Chinese Birth Calendar she has a 58% chance of having a boy! So we'll see. We will be happy to have whatever, and just the new addition of having a baby in the family is exciting in itself. I told her she should wear blue tomorrow like she did today and see if that helps. Anyway, I can't wait to hear the news. Her appointment is tomorrow at 1:30 and so I can't wait to get the call! Hopefully I will be able to stand it waiting to get the call.

This weekend went by so fast. Cassidy won both of her soccer games, and by the time we got up to BSC where Randy's basketball game was at it was already over and they had won by 22 points. So we went to Applebees for lunch and back home again until they played again at 4:00pm. They won their second game by 17 points. So yesterday they played at 11:00am and won 60-7 and then they played for the championship at 4:00pm yesterday and won 67-17! It was nice that they ended the season that way. After the game the parents presented Randy with a picture of the team in Dickinson that they took with all their 1st place trophies. They also gave him a gift certificate to the Dairy Queen to take his family out for a treat on Chaos for the time Randy was away from us. This is all in addition to what they have paid Randy for being their coach. They thanked Randy for his sportsmanship he showed to the boys, his dedication, expertise, and his time with the boys. The parents really appreciated Randy doing that, and the boys really enjoyed their time with Randy. They really look up to him I can see. The parents and boys hope he will coach the next 3 years for them. Which he will. He can coach them up until they play on a varsity basketball team. Once they play on a varsity team they are not allowed to play on a traveling basketball team for fear of injury. It will be nice to see these kids grow up, and watch their basketball game develop. From when I saw them last year at Prairie Rose games in Fargo (which was last July) they have come a long way! Very proud of my husband and the work he put into those boys, and all the nice things the parents had to say about him. So now with basketball over it will be softball (I think Randy is playing on two teams) and then it will be getting ready for the Midget Football Season in August. Randy is thinking he might hold some conditioning camps this summer for the kids. A lot of parents have asked him to do this, and he can make some good money doing this. Our hope is to one day have him run his own business doing this because he has so many clients now and he has to turn away some families. Our biggest obstacle right now is finding a building to be able to do all the things Randy wants to do. So we are keeping our options open and doing some research.

Also - I will have to post some pictures of my new dining room set my mom and dad bought me. My mom is the best person at finding deals I swear! She saw a sign that said 60% off of Broyhill furniture. With me working for Conlins Warehouse in college I know that Broyhill is great furniture. It was Conlin's number one seller. She told me she went and looked at what they had and she saw a nice dining room set for Randy and me. We have been looking at getting a new set for some time now. The one we've had since we first moved in together isn't cutting it anymore. Anyway, my mom (and dad) saved a lot of money on this deal! The whole set should have been over $1500! ($705 for the table, and each chair was $189 a piece). She paid $465 for the entire set (table and 4 chairs)! She said she watched some show on TV that said you should always ask if they can come down anymore of their price (even if it's 10% it's better then nothing). At first when she asked they immediately said no, and that this is as low as they can go since it's already a steal. Mom then asked to speak to the Manager, and the Manager at first said no. But my Mom's uncle works at this store, and then the Manger said she could give mom Ray's employee discount of 20% off of the total. After the cashier rang everything up I saw that when she put in the 20% off the total the savings was $116! All together she saved over $1000! She is the best deal finder I know! And it looks great in my house. Its the high table and chairs what I had been looking at and wanting. Thanks again Mom and Dad!! I better get going to start supper. Have a great night.
