Getting ready

This past week has been so wonderful having my husband back home.  Søren was on a study trip to London all of the previous week. He had a really great time getting to experience music in many different ways.  They went to a musical (We Will Rock You), visited 2 schools where they got to hear different lectures and see how things are done with the music there, heard a choir, went to a music science museum, heard some local jazz at a jazz bar, and some other interesting things as well. I was a bit jealous seeing as it was all music things that they experienced, but I am glad that he had a wonderful time and made it safely back to me.

I was also able to have a musical experience of my own while he was gone. I had received tickets to Thriller Live from Søren for Christmas and finally the day arrived.  Since Søren forgot he was going to be in London that day, I invited a girl friend and we went to see the West End version in Esbjerg.  It was so amazing! The lights and staging effects were fantastic, but nothing compared to the singing and dancing.  I don’t know how 15 people can fill a stage for over 2½ hours singing and dancing to some of Michael Jacksons most energetic songs day after day, but these people were outstanding.  It was so fun to hear so many MJ classics and to see the tribute to his life in such a fun way! Wow, I was really impressed!!!

Otherwise we’ve been getting ready for the 2 big events coming up in our lives.  The first of which being that we are moving in April. We get the key on April 6th and plan on painting the following weekend so we are ready to move by April 15th-17th. Anticipating the move we have had to buy a few new things for our new house and just in the past few weeks we have bought a new kitchen table, a little hutch for the living room, and a new TV.  As we don’t have room for these things in our current house, they are still packed in the boxes, but we couldn’t just let our TV stay packed up for another month! So when it arrived we opened it and set it up in our living room.  Lets just say that it is gigantic compared to our teeny living room we have now! However, in our new house we will be sitting much further away, which is why we absolutely had to have a 46” TV.  It is crazy large, and the people look life sized, but it’s fun too, and nice to not have a fat, pregnant looking TV anymore! The picture is so sharp! We love it!

The TV is almost as wide as our love seat

See it's huge!

We have also been getting ready for the arrival of our little boy in May. We have been fortunate to be able to loan a lot of baby clothes and I had fun at a flea market for baby’s and kids stuff, so we are doing great in that department. We have also been given a crib, car seat and other various things so our spare bedroom is just heaped with things waiting to move into our little guy's new room! So yes we have been slowly accumulating things, but the biggest new buy is that we bought a used baby buggy and stroller this past weekend. I have a friend from Show choir who wanted to get rid of theirs so we bought it up at a great price.  It felt weird walking around with the buggy to try it out, but also really exciting.
So yeah that’s really all for now. We’re just taking one day at a time, but I can’t help but say that it’s only 10 weeks until my due date now!!! Yikes!!
