My LA "bucket list"

I'm working all weekend, then on Monday I get to see my little sister from my sorority at SLU. SLU is on spring break, and she's out visiting me & a friend of hers that attends UCLA. I'm so excited to see her, we haven't seen each other since I graduated from SLU last May. It'll be so nice to catch up with her and hang out like old times. We've still kept in pretty good touch... she is just one of those people that I will be friends with and remember forever. We don't have set plans, but I think hiking up to the Hollywood sign is one of them. It's slightly illegal to walk up there and touch it, but people do it a lot! I will be sure to take pics if we manage to do it. It's on my "LA Bucket List" of things to do while I'm living here (which I guess I could post on here so you all could see it). I hope the weather is nice while she's here! From what I've heard it's been really nice back home...70degrees?? Crazy!

Ok, let's start the betting for Nat's due date!!! I'm gonna go ahead an guess April 11th. Winner gets a prize!! Add a comment to my post and take a guess at when you think baby Ethan will enter the world. Her official estimated due date is April 18th.

So I'll leave you all with my "LA Bucket List". Things I want/will do while I am living in LA. An asterick* means that I have checked it off the list and already done it! Of course, there are new things that I learn about and add to the list quite often....and there are things that I've done and didn't add. If you have a suggestion for me, let me know.

My bet is that Ethan will arrive on 4/4/09, a little earlier than her due date. Can't wait to meet him!

Okay, I know I'm going to be boo'd here, but I say 4/21/09 (Sorry Nat!) But, it could be worse, Kyle's due date was April 19 and he was born the 26th. Oh yea, Syd, your youngest cousin turned a teenager today. Can you believe it? We watched his birth video today and saw you crying from the outside the nursery window because you couldn't come in. Remember? Ha! Miss you.

Ok people....I think April 2nd. Aunt Missy....come on.... 4/21....give me a break. Guess it would be neat to share a bday with a fam member, but come on! Please pray he comes earlier than that for his mommmy's sake.

Okay, I knew my bet would be unpopular (especially to the "touchy" among us!) Ha-Ha! I guess I could change it, but I'm not. Seriously, I do wish the best to mom and baby Ethan, you know that already, I'm sure.

Sorry Nat, I'm not sharing my 4/21 day with Ethan...besides I think he might weigh 14 pounds by then (JJ). It's only a matter of days now, hang in there!
