Kurt's work had a surprise baby shower for him - so cute, the cake even had his name on it! They even gave us diapers, which the women said were for Kurt specifically, to make sure that he does his fair share of the diaper changing.

RollerCoaster November
November is turning out to be a rollercoaster of emotions. I had my "big birthday" and finished things at work (with a wonderful surprise goodbye party from my class).
Then, in the midst of saying goodbyes at work, I experienced the loss of Grandpa Bakker after a couragous battle with cancer. At the funeral, it was sad to think about the loss of Grandpa, however it is always amazing to be at the celebration of someone who has lived such a fulfilling life. To sing the songs, listen to scripture, and hear stories of Grandpa who was such a hardworking and loving man of faith was insipring. I watched Grandma who seems so brave and strong in the midst of her loss, and even as she is fighting her own battle with cancer, and am again inspired by her faith and strength. I will miss Grandpa and his everpresent grin, but I know that he is in the arms of the Lord.
Also this week, my brother Peter and Devon were engaged. I couldn't be more thrilled to have Devon become part of our family, and see my big brother get married, but again, what a roller coaster. And now with baby almost here, I am ready for the next dip and turn of the roller coaster.

30 - A Very Good Year
This weekend I celebrated my 30th birthday. I always thought that I would dread turning 30, but as it turns out 30 is pretty great! Here's why in no particular order:
1. You can have a party with friends and eat your favourite foods and play your favourite games.
2. You can have a lovely dinner with your lovely husband at your favourite thai restaurant.
3. You can gather with your extended family to play a rousing game of Killer Bunnies.
4. You get really cool presents like new toilets (Didn't you know that 30 is the year of porcelin? And no I am not kidding, I almost cried when Kurt gave them to me because I hate our current toilets with more hatred than is right for an inanimate object - you have to lift the lid and fix the chain every time you flush!)
5. And, soon to come in the year of 30 is my little sweet pea - three weeks to go!
