Any Guesses?
This isn't the greatest picture, but at least you get the idea...I had a nice cut above my eye and a little bruiser underneath. Does anyone want to guess the cause?
* Logan is quite a strong little boy, and yes, he can really get his arms going. (This is usually a sign that he's about to cry.) But, he is not responsible for my owie.
* I haven't been to work in nearly 4 weeks, so the jr high kids can't be blamed either.
* All right. You give up? It was a self-inflicted wound. Garrick came home from work for lunch on election day, and I was going to run out to vote. I went into the garage, walked up to the car, and opened the door right into my head. Lovely! I can't blame my stupidity on being pregnant, but can I at least use the lack of sleep excuse?

Greetings from Eugene
Hey everyone, this is Stephen and I posted the funny clip below. I thought it was funny but also kind of profound in a way. To think that people used to just stop doing things when they ran out of money! That is kind of a strange concept in this day in age, when credit card companies are anxious to give you money for doing nothing. The temptation is always there to do more than you can afford, to live just a little bit outside of your means.
Things in Eugene are going ok. I really like school. I probably wouldn't mind just staying in school forever, except it really doesn't pay very well. This probably means that I'll end up being a professor someday, since professors get to study whatever they want, when they want. They get paid to take time off to study. Awesome!
The rain has official struck, which is kind of crappy, but I keep reminding myself that at least it's not snow! One thing I don't really miss about Utah is the constant struggle to stay warm. Gloves, hats, sweaters on top of sweaters, big poofy jackets, etc. and yet you still feel cold.
Oksana is still working part time at Bath and Body Works (which we are having a hard time not calling "Bed Bath Body Works and Beyond," for some reason) while looking for something more permanent and full time. Job searches are never fun, and she is learning all about what a frustrating experience it really is.
I hope everyone is doing well, and let's see some updates a little bit more often!
