Busy, busy, busy


Recently, Kim's brother, Jeff, has complained about us not updating this blog. While it has been 17 days, we have been awfully busy. That, and Jeff is unemployed this summer. What sort of 25 year-old gets a summer vacation without a job? Oh wait.. I had a summer vacation last year. Scratch that. Anyway, between starting a new job, trying to find a house, and all the craziness that goes into Kim's management job, we have had our hands full lately. Finding a house in Denver is not an easy task, as we trying to balance size, distance from work, cost, age of the home, and Kim's opinions about Denver neighborhoods. Some common phrases that she has used include "this place is ghetto," "Eww... There is money lending store down the street," and "this is a corner lot, let's buy it so Jeff never visits."

On the baby front, Kim and I went to meet our obstetrician last week. He is a friendly guy who says that all the things that Kim has been experiencing are relatively normal. He also is really into breast feeding. Apparently breast feeding is very, very important. I am not really sure how you train for that, but I probably won't be too involved. Kim has been staying up later at night (hello, 9:00 PM!!) and isn't getting sick as often. Also, we heard the baby's heartbeat, and he or she is healthy. We don't find out the sex until September 12, 2008, so we have been trying to come up with different names. Kim likes presidential names (Madison, Jefferson, Lincoln, Gerald Ford) and I like boring white guy names (Steve, Jim, Mike, Will) and boring white girl names (Jenn, Julie, Liz). It is still fun to discuss, and when Jean Luc D'Andre Julio Martinez Turner is born, everyone will be happy. Tonight, Kim and I are going to see Willie Nelson at Red Rocks for a break from our busy lives. There's a name for you: Willie Nelson Turner.

We suggest the name KIMBERLY. It seems to have become a Turner trademark.
