One big cat out of the bag

Ryan and I have officially announced the impending birth of our twins to all that matter. Sorry to those of you reading this who have yet to hear the news, guess you know where you fall on our "important" list. Anyway, my point here is that it is officially okay for you to post about it on your MySpace page (you know who you are... Gabrielle) or shout it from the roof-tops because it is a "secret" no more. I use the term "secret" in a general sense of course, seeing as 90% of the world seemed to have found out the very next day anyway.

If you are wondering how Ryan and I broke the news to my family... we waited until the most opportune moment... right when they all had food in their mouths at dinner. I believe the announcement went a little something like, "So, anyone who would like to come to my graduation dinner on Wednesday at 6:45 is more than welcome... oh, yeah, I'm pregnant." Hey, we couldn't stand up for an "announcement" or they all would have seen it coming. I always find that the blind-side is so much more effective.

In other news, I created a very awkward moment for my cousin Erica during a recent first date with a gentleman named Chris. Really, are we shocked? And I finished my first year of teaching; which means I am currently writing this post in the middle of day because I am officially on summer VACA! Also, if I use the word "officially", or one more set of quotations in this post I am going to "officially" kick myself in the butt. Just sayin.
