The FORCE is strong with this one

Boy, it's been a busy month! Trisha finally conceded and agreed to let SJ's nursery have a Star Wars theme so we got the furniture ordered and we've been scouring the net for awesome deco for the room. I did have to give up something I wanted though. SJ will not be the proud owner of the most awesome Wampa rug in the world.

Doesn't this kid look happy?

 

Next we move on to a few first for the Kirkpatrick family. A few weeks ago on a little adventure trip, we stumbled upon the Lovington Fair on our way back to Lubbock. At first, it was just supposed to be a quick trip in to allow Trisha to walk around a little and grab a turkey leg for dinner. But once I found out she had never been to a rodeo, we had to stay! We got to see all of the events and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. On the way out, we picked what had to be the best funnel cake we've ever had the chance to stuff in our mouths while listening to the free concert of Uncle Cracka

And for the other first...just last weekend, Trisha surprised me with a trip to a Cowboys preseason game. We had both been to the new stadium for Tech games but it really is spectacular to see it in all it's glory with 80,000 ans wearing the colors and screaming for the Boys. I think SJ was a caught off guard with all the noise and junk food we were making him experience all at once. Luckily, earlier that day in the hotel, I got to feel him kick for the first time. It's moments like those that make all the craziness that is pregnancy worth it.

 

 

Lastly, we once again bring to the point of what this blog is truly made for. A constant reminder (although I do admit I've slacked in that department) that this is the Kirkpatrick Adventure. Trisha and I were called crazy several times when we let people know we were remodeling the house 2 months before the wedding. What better way to move into the third trimester of our firstborn than to buy up some mountain land and build a cabin! That's right, by this time next week we'll be the proud owners of our own little slice of heaven nestled in the Sacramento mountains. Ted (Trisha's dad) and I will be busy little beavers over the next 6 weeks trying to at least get its weathertight shell done by mid-October. Neither of us have ever taken on such a project but we're pretty confident with ourselves in that we can get it done.

 

I'll definitely be updating more with the progress
