"Unexpected" News

OH MY GOD!! Rarely do I use all caps, but this information deserves it. As you all know my friend Kim is getting married to her boyfriend Shane. Well, a few days ago I think I found out the reason they're getting hitched so quickly. Ready for this? I bet you've guessed it already, but in case you haven't, here it is:

Kim is PREGNANT!!

Okay, why is that such big news? Well, besides the obvious Kim and Shane are still in college. And they pretty much have no money. Need an example? Shane had to borrow money from Kim's mom to buy Kim's wedding ring. Wow. If that doesn't give you an insight, I don't know what would.
So, she's due in July and we don't know if it's a girl or boy yet. I asked her what she wanted (a boy or a girl) and she replied, "I want a baby." And Shane's response to all of this? "It'll be fun!" Hum...
In other news, I'm leaving for Texas in a few days. I'm looking forward to that, of course. Emily, Jerry and Aubrey are picking me up from the airport and then it's off to the mall where Aubrey and I are getting our picture taken with Santa. Oh, did I mention that Aubrey will be wearing his Elton John Halloween costume? How cute will that be!
I'm (hopefully) going to see Kris on Wednesday. I say hopefully because it's supposed to snow pretty bad and I have a feeling Kris will cancel if it gets real bad. I want to give him his Christmas present.
Um, not much else is going on right now. I'm just getting over the shock of Kim having a baby. If you knew Kim you'd understand.
So, hopefully I'll post again tomorrow...Until then,
