1. You can turn on the faucet and get a cold drink of water - no filtration or refrigeration required.
2. My seven-month-pregnant sister still climbs fences. When I was seven months pregnant, I thought I was going to die.
3. You can open the windows to circulate the air without worrying about being robbed or cigarette smoke from either of your neighbors wafting in.
4. Ninety-degrees in northern Nevada is nice and cool. And dry. And therefore, a less sweaty Erin.
5. People here know me. I don't have to tell a story to preface another story.
6. It's fully light at 6am, making getting up with Carolyn a bit easier.
7. No one cares if you haven't done your hair.
8. Kirk Dahl can always be counted on to make you feel like a million bucks - today at church he said, "Congratulations on being a mother. You are amazing. Of course, you were always amazing." Aw! Thanks, Kirk Dahl!
9. Fall canning of peaches, pears, and tomatoes with mom. And by that, I mean that mom does all the canning while I sit and watch her.
10. Preg testing. The vet came and did 60 heifers on Friday. I couldn't help but feel sorry for the cows. I wanted to yell, "I feel ya, sister!" I didn't really help at all. And by that I mean that I did nothing but stand and watch.

You know on Facebook how you can "like" stuff? I like this. It reminds me of home too. I don't "like" preg testing, but I know all about it. My brother is a vet and my dad has his cattle, and they have offered me a turn but I politely say no thanks!
erin....COME HOME! i miss my little carolyn. i want to suck in the youth.
have fun and tell judy hello.
Glad you are having a fantastic time!!! Nothing like being home to fill your mind with lovely thoughts and make you happier. :)
let's be honest, it's not a graceful climb, but hey, when you have more kids than the one you are carrying, you do a lot of things you wouldn't otherwise choose to do while pregnant....like carry a sleeping 2 1/2 year old what turns out to be a mile and a half walk to eat dinner (at a restaurant that wasn't that great).
