I just wanted to do a little update and brag a bit on how hard he's been working (and how un-hard i've been working i guess :)
He is about ready to turn in the 4th chapter of his dissertation to his advisor. He's got his intro (rough draft of course since that really gets good after the rest of the paper is written) chapters 1 &2 turned in and started on chapt 4. so what does this mean!?!?! his advisor used these words :
I can confidently write in my letter of reccomendation that you (brad) are making rapid progress and turning in high quality work and are more than half way complete with your dissertation!
(she also said something to the effect of what a FANTASTIC teacher he is with near native fluency in the language, which is more important in the south/east than research and publication:)
GREAT news for brad! I think he was on a little cloud 9 for the night :)
I know it's been crazy here at home, he's home long enough in the mornings to read scriptures, say family prayer and drop sb off at school (since i've been sleeping later and getting up when her bus pulls up... oops.)
But that's about it. hes done the dishes a few times for me and folded a few loads of laundry (and even put some away!) But as for my end of the bargain...... weeeeellllll, can i just blame it on first trimester yuckies?
(i am super super super ashamed to admit this, but i can't stomach bending over and very sensitive to smells right now soooooo the bathrooms haven't been cleaned in uhm....4 weeks) please don't tell anyone!
I'm half tempted to call merry maids or something just for my bathrooms! (and maybe the kitchen floor?)
But only 1/2 tempted.... cause i know what the check book has to say.
so a quick update on the baby thing too... 9 weeks tomorrow. yesterday was the first day with no spotting, bleeding, or cramping, so i guess that's more good news?
alright, thanks for letting me brag on my sweetie (mush mush mush i know :) and have a GREAT day!

yay Brad!!! That is great that he is doing so well.
I totally didn't get your last post...oops. I hope you get some energy. I totally understand about the house work.
Wow! Hooray for Brad- that is amazing. You should record him saying something in French so we can appreciate his accent.
As for you, I TOTALLY understand. My bathrooms also went through the same neglect and my kids survived without some horrible disease. I hated it though. I wish I could come do them for you.
Girl, if I was there, I would come clean for you! Gosh, me not being in Alabama is starting to be a major drag.
btw...you need to update my blog on your bloglist:

Okay so I so had no idea you were pregnant! Congratulations!!! I hope that you actually got to plan this one, lol! Yay for Brad! Daniel is working very hard right now on his Master's thesis. I'm so glad we'll be done after this degree. And you're almost done with school too! Hooray!
Girl! Call up the YW president and ask if anybody needs some Personal Progress goals fulfilled - then ask them to clean your house! Serious. Very, very serious. And if that doesn't work, call up your Relief Society or visiting teachers or both - that's what they're there for!
I've considered merry maids myself lately, i'am 8 weeks pregnant and the couch has been my home for th past few weeks. Congrats on all brad is doing,keep up the good work, and congrats on the baby.
Ya, May 23rd is the big day.
