Take me out to the Ball Game!

Well, life continues to be as exciting as ever here in Des Moines Iowa as we await the arrival of our new little family member. Bradley is still on break from school and is working a few hours a day in the Anatomy Lab which he really enjoys so that is good. Both of us have really enjoyed all the time that we have been able to spend together and we have done some pretty sweet stuff during this past little while. Last week Ellen suprised Bradley with the anouncement that we were going to go to a Cub's babseball game here in Des Moines! It was dollar day at the stadium so we packed up our umbrella and went off to the ball game. Bradley had never before been to a real baseball game which Ellen thought was rediculous! Here is a picture of us at the ball game.

And here is one of the giant tarp that they pulled over the field during the rain delay. It started to rain pretty hard for a while!

The baseball game was pretty fun and all of the people getting more and more drunk each inning was interesting too. Needless to say we left a little early so as to get off the road before all of them got on the road!

We also had a really fun time yesterday at the Ames Iowa Parad of Homes! Ames is a little town about 1 hour from Des Moines so we packed up our little Honda Civic and went to see some homes. We took our GPS with us but most of the homes were so new that their addresses were not in the system so we had to rely on the little map they gave us to get around. After several hours and a few instances of getting lost however we were able to see all 8 homes in the parade. Our favorite home was a 2 story house with a finished basement that had a cool family room with built in surround sound! Bradley thought it was pretty sweet! The only bad part of the day was when we stopped for lunch at a little pizza place and it was not very good at all! Ellen claims that the sauce on her pizza tasted like windex! So we got some skittles and giant chewy sweet tarts to make up for it and all was well!

In other news we have officially found someone to move into our apartment on the 22 of July so that we can move to our new place! We are so excited to move to a nicer place with our own washer and dryer and save some money at the same time! Other than that we are just excited as can be to have our little one come (Ellen most of all obviously!) It will be great to have him here and to start out on a brand new adventure!
