So out of curiosity I decided to make a test to see how often my sisters looked at this.... I know we're all busy, but I'm curious :) So here we go.
Hello. My name is Jenn. And I'm pregnant!! :) If you want the due date you'll have to call or text me (which is the test part)
Have a lovely day!

McDonald Update
Phew! Thank Heavens December is over! I have not checked this in... several months it seems. :( I am just starting the Red Scarf Girl (I didn't know it was on the list to read for November... Mom lent it to me and said it was really good.) There is a new author that i like-self published- and the book that i LOVE is When Death loved an Angel by Cheree Alsop. So good. Anyways we should read it sometime.
So Jon is doing good. He got promoted to a manager at work.... which is really just code for more work at the office and at home :) But he is liking it. I am the relief Society secretary.... and the youngest in the presidency which means I'm the only one who knows how to use the computer. Yipee! Anyways that keeps me very busy changing and unchanging all sorts of things (mostly Visiting Teaching assignments) but I have gotten to know lots of women in the ward and I'm making lots of new friends :) Also Jon and I were the "Ward Christmas Party Chairmen"... what does that mean you ask?? well it means that we planned, organized, researched, implemented, set up, took down, ordered, reported everything that has do to do with the Christmas Party. And when i say 'we' i mean mostly 'me' :) Thank Heavens December is over!!
Eli started going to a Preschool at the college. He LOVES it. Everyday he asks if he has preschool that day... sometimes more than once. He has a best friend Nolan who is in preschool and Primary with him and just happens to live around the block. Score!! It's awesome to have an hour every few days to catch up on stuff while the kids are at a friends house (Lindley goes over too as Nolans little sister is her friend in Nursery) Eli knows his letters (most of them) and lots of numbers. I've started a program at the library "Read a Thousand Books Before Kindergarten". So we are almost to the 200 book mark, and I can tell a HUGE difference in the kids. Their vocabulary and attention span have increased. At first they could just sit through 2 books, now we do around 6 at a time :) Eli still likes trucks and cars. and guns and explosions and good guys vs. bad guys :) He is learning new ways to postpone going to sleep at night. He will come up and say "I just wanted to give mom a hug" and then come up 10 mins later "I wanted to give dad a kiss" or "when you're tired, go to bed. I just wanted to tell you that" :)
Lindley is Miss Independent and wins the stubbornness award almost on a daily basis. She is so sweet. She LOVES Jon and loves to cuddle. She likes to comb my hair while saying "old ill mommy" aka "hold still" She loves dollies and her little kitchen- she makes cupcakes. She is learning how to share and to obey mommy. I swear, sometimes she just wants to be contrary just to show she can be. There have been times i have to wrestle her into the car seat....I mean really while she is kicking and screaming because she doesn't want to be strapped in, or her shoes on, or sometimes its her jacket, or just because it's what I want. She does NOT let Eli push her around. Really. He has bite marks to prove it. :) She can be very frustrating but then she likes to come and cuddle with me in the morning :) and we get along again.
I love you all and miss you!!
