Rachel's Pregnant Belly at 24 weeks.

The latest news reel:

New Apartment
At the beginning of August we moved from our 1 bedroom apartment into a 2 bedroom apartment. We've enjoyed the redecorating and reorgainizing that comes with a move. I have been sewing curtains for all the rooms. We tried half-curtains rather than full-lenth curtains in a few of the rooms and so far we like them.

School
I am preparing for the GRE and finishing other things to prepare for graduate school. I will apply to the University of Utah's Occupational Therapy program this December and hear if I have been accepted in April 2010.
Bruce was accepted into BYU's accounting program and will begin in the fall. The bachelor's is a 2 year program, with an additional one year for a master's. He will apply for the master's program at the end of this school year. BYU has one of the top accounting programs in the nation so we are really excited that he was accepted! It also means that the next few years of schooling will be very rigrous.

Work
Bruce is working for the family lawncare business and will continue to do so into the school year. I am working for the Central Utah Water Conservancy District promoting conservation in Utah County by doing water checks. I'll continue to do water checks for the first part of the school year (until it gets too cold or until people stop calling for appointments).

Baby
Bruce and I are expecting a little girl in early December. The ultrasounds and check-ups indicate all is healthy and well with "Opal" (the nickname we have assigned fetus Sommerfeldt, not to worry though, we'll find something else to actually name her).
