Dear large truck that is riding my bumper:
I am already going 10 over. I am not going to speed just for you. In fact, I will continue to break and go slower until you stop riding my tail. Just because you are driving a big vehicle does not mean you own the road. In fact, you have an even greater responsibility than I do in my tiny car to drive safe. I hope you are willing to live with the consequences of driving like a pissed off teenager in an 18 wheeler. You know what? I hope you rear-end me so that we can get the insurance money to buy a new car. Because no matter how this plays out, I win.

Going Private
Hi all! Just wanted to let you all know that I am going to make this blog private, so if you want access in the future, you will have to give me your email address so that I can put it on the list. I don't feel comfortable having our personal pictures/videos up on the Internet for everyone to see. Please leave your email in a comment, or you can shoot me an email at kristen.m.reinders@gmail.com. :)

Recent Family Videos
The videos are in the order that they happened, with the last two happening tonight. Enjoy! :)
-I just made a brand *NEW* post to my new couponing blog A Couponers Guide to the Galaxy!-
Well, I finally got my degree and have enjoyed a full month of no school! We got my "degree" in the mail. It actually looks very nice and we have framed it and put it up on our wall. It makes me happy to look at. Emma is getting bigger and bigger! She is into full-fledged toddler mode. She laughs when Daddy says funny things or when we laugh at the TV. Her favorite thing to do is to take pens, highlighters, chopsticks, basically anything shaped like a stick and put them in a cup. She will then empty the cup and repeat it all over again. I am amazed with how long she will be satisfied just playing on the floor doing this. It started with the pen holder we have on my desk, but once she started learning how to take the caps off the pens and highlighters we had to come up with a new plan! Enter the chopsticks and cup. Best toy that didn't cost a penny. :)
Andy starts his actual med-hold job on Tuesday (The job he has been in was while he was waiting to get this job, so basically his hold hold job). This job was very nice as it meant that he had a lot of time off and we enjoyed lots of family time! All we know of the new job is that it is at the Navy airport. This job will probably have more normal hours with duty days. :(
Emma is right on the brink of a breakthrough with her speech. She talks all the time and she uses the same baby talk phrases over and over. I am beginning to think that it is just us who are ignorant of what she's saying! One tweak of a vowel of consonant, one more lesson she will learn will be the key to unlocking all the phrases she has almost learned.
Tomorrow I will be 26 week pregnant with about 3 months to go! Goodbye 2nd trimester! I officially cannot travel by airplane any more! Well, I am looking more and more forward to having another baby in the house. Lately I have realized just how lucky I am to have the loving husband and daughter that I do. Today's trip to CVS I made alone, which I do not usually do. Whereas a year ago I would have been thrilled by such a proposition, I was kind of sad when I looked in the back seat and saw no one smiling back and playing with me in the carseat. Emma goes everywhere with me! I can only imagine what things will be like when she goes to school. :(
Anyway, Andy's birthday is 3 weeks away. We are going to have a Star Wars themed birthday (Yes, I married a 12 year old!!!). I found this place called Planet Pizza in VA Beach that looks kind of cool. We will partake of Andy's R2D2 cake and have Star Wars themed gifts (Shhh!!! I can tell yet!)
