Fun announcing #2

I got a little more creative the second time around. We decided to tell our family by shirt message ... you know just wait for them to notice. Of course when I called my parents and told them to check their e-mail, I kind of spelled it out for them. Since Jason's parents are local, we had a lot of fun with them. Kalyn came over wearing the shirt and it took Jana about 5 seconds to notice it. Of course I got it all on video, it was awesome ... and today I realized that while playing with the camera, Kalyn must have deleted the video. Add nausea to nausea ... that's how I feel right now. I feel like I just got punched in the stomach, it was such a great video. Maybe one day I'll forgive her. Maybe.


Well, the shirt message idea was so fun with Kalyn, I decided to try it out for myself. So, I made a "Knocked Up" shirt. I tried it out on my friends Stephanie and Rachael ... worked like a charm. So, I wore it to work the next week. It was pretty funny watching the faces once they actually read it and realized what it was saying. It was mostly well received. For anyone offended by my knocked up shirt, I mostly apologize, I just can't help pushing the envelope some. For the rest of you who thought it was funny, thanks for letting me play, I appreciate you appreciating my sense of humor.
