Big Things Happening...

Couple of news flashes this week! First, I ended up with VERY last minute tickets to the Oprah Show! It's one of those things that I thought would be fun to do, but it was my friend Tammy that REALLY wanted to go, so I've been trying to get tickets for a little while now. As luck would have it, she wasn't able to join me because of some family stuff - but that worked out well for my mom! She and I headed over to Chicago on Wednesday for the afternoon taping. It was all about OCD (made me think of a couple of people I know...) and very interesting. There wasn't any audience interaction, though, so it wasn't as fun as I thought it could be. I'll just have to go back sometime, I guess!

Second major development this week: Our friends, the Verduins, had their ultrasound yesterday... and they are having TWINS!!! I cannot fully explain in words how big of a deal this is, but trust me - it's a BIG DEAL! For two people who prefer to plan as much as they possibly can, this is throwing them for quite a loop - but I know they're going to be GREAT! Who better to handle TWO babies at one time than two people who are organized planners?? Imagine if *I* had had twins! I would have lost one of them, or forgotten one at the store, or mixed them up and forever called them by the wrong names... (Of course, they won't have that problem since they're having one boy and one girl!) I can't wait to meet these gorgeous babies! Of course, in the meantime, we'll be walking through the next 18 weeks or so with Scott and Debbie as they mentally prepare themselves for all of the challenges they have ahead of them, like TWO car seats, TWO cribs, TWO high chairs, TWO... hehehe!! WHAT FUN!!!
