Home again...

Well, we are home again from Utah. Sad, but not sad at the same time. I missed our comfortable bed and home that we worked so hard on to be presentable and spanking clean since we moved in... My family left for Utah yesterday, but before they did they took me to lunch at my favorite restaurant in the entire world. The one, the only, Chili's. I always get the same thing there. The chicken crispers but without the corn on the cob because it is too watery and extra honey mustard. Mmmm mmmm mmmm! It was so nice to see my family again. I missed them so much! I think it is unnatural how much I am attached to my family. I will tell you this, I am NOT a loner. I get lonely when Steve is in the other room sleeping or playing his video games, which he doesn't do very often anymore. With his new job and all he is working 9pm to 6am sometimes later. And then he sleeps during the day. So I see him for a couple of hours each day before he or I go to work. I am still working two jobs. One at the dentist's office and one at Arctic Circle. It is a very busy schedule, but we do what we need to do to get by and to pay the bills, make ends meet, ya know?

The baby is doing great. I am about 5 months pregnant now and finally starting to show. I love it. I am so excited to be a mommy. Janice, Steve's mom, got us TONS of baby stuff. Plus my sister threw us a surprise baby shower in Utah. It was so funny, when I walked in the house everyone jumped out and said SURPRISE! I was like hey... not sure about what was going on. And then they told me that it was a baby shower. YAY!!! It was so much fun. We played tons of really fun games. Leah and Bekah did an amazing job planning it all, it was so much fun.

YAY!!!!

Well, Steve has finally gotten a job! I am so excited for him. He has been looking so hard and applying everywhere to get a job to be able to help our family right now. We really need it. Well, he is going to start working at Walmart here in Rexburg, Idaho. But the thing is that he is working the freaking graveyard shift. He works from 10 pm to 7 am. So when he is getting home from work I will be leaving for work. We will hardly ever see each other and I will lose my sleeping buddy. Sad day. That is not what I signed up for when I got married. The point was that I didn't have to sleep alone anymore. Sad. Oh well. We need the money, he needs to do something, and blessings come in strange forms. I am grateful but wishing for something else. I just have to keep telling myself that it is only temporary and will end at the end of the summer... hopefully.

Well on to happier things. My tummy is starting to buldge a little bit. I am so excited. I am starting to feel that it may not be the baby, but my tummy gaining the weight that I am gaining. At least I am gaining the weight back that I lost. Yah, get that. I lost at least 15 pounds from the beginning, but I am gaining it back! Yea and not yea at the same time. It is good but not good. Well, the baby is healthy and growing. It is eating everything that I am eating so obviously it likes it. Maybe the baby likes it too much. Go check out my facebook page to see the baby and how it looks now. I am so excited to get big and show that I am actually pregnant. Yea! I am excited to finally get to wear the maternity clothes. That will hopefully happen next month because by then I will be 5 months pregnant. Does anybody know? How far along are you before you before you start wearing maternity clothes? Anyone that has been pregnant out there, has kids, or anything, can you shed some light on this for me? When will this magical thing happen? OH and another question. Because I am a high risk pregnancy, I have a multitude of doctors. My OBGYN says that I am due on November 23, but my perionatologist which is like a high risk pregnancy specialist says I am due on November 30. Which one is it? I realize it is only a week apart, but that week means the difference of oh am I 13 weeks or 14 weeks? I never know how far along I am exactly. They both say that they are sticking with their due date so I don't know which one to tell people or how far along I am exactly. Confusing. Well if anybody out there knows, PLEASE let me know. I love you all thanks for everything.

OH and you Utah people out there, I will see you in JUNE! yes yes we are coming down there in June when John comes home before he leaves for Afghanistan. See you then!

AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

So Steve and I are preparing and waiting and being happy.... Oh, you wanna know why? Well.... we are going to be parents! Yep that's right. I am pregnant. Scary thought I know. But it was bound to happen someday right? Craving and sickness wise, I have been craving lemons, not bread, hating bread, ummm vegetables, popcorn, and salt. Sickness wise I have just been very nauseous but luckily I haven't thrown up yet. Which is good. Well life is going pretty good right now.

Both jobs are going great. I am still working at Arctic Circle and at the Dentist's office. Both are going okay. Ice cream isn't smelling that great and neither is greasy food like burgers or whatever like french fries. Very interesting....

Can you Believe IT???

My hubby is amazing! When I got home from work today, he had dinner just about done and the dishes were done! That particular fact is amazing for our house since we don't do dishes as often as we should. We are trying this new thing out in fact that I don't think has ever been tried before. Its called clean as you go. The simple fact of the matter is that we clean up what we use after we use it. Easy, simple, and makes Saturdays much funner. I love him.... very much. More than he loves me.

Can you believe that we will be married a year at the end of this month?! In like 2 weeks!!! Oh I am so excited!!!! I think I know what I am going to get Steve, but he better get me something good too! I put alot of thought into mine... his better be the same. Not the same gift, but with a lot of thought, love, support, and maybe some money. I love this... all the excitement. My new job is going great! I think he actually counts me as worth something. SWEET! Which is good. I mean I think he does. Some of the people still count me as a child and treat me like one, which stinks. It makes me mad. But such is life right?

Whoo!!!!

Okay so I guess it's fair to say that I haven't updated in a while. Ummm.... Lots has happened so I guess lets start with the boring/fun stuff. I know, no sense, but thats me. Okay well I did get a job as a Dental Assistant in Idaho Falls. That is so much fun I absolutely love it. I get to look into peoples mouths and tell them, " Hey! Brush your teeth everyday and this wouldn't happen!" Hehehehe... good times. It is sad to see little kids come in and their mouths are a disaster. Because at that age, it's not their fault, it is their parents fault who doesn't brush their teeth. Like, we had a child come in that his mom didn't brush his teeth with toothpaste... because the child didn't like it. What the HECK!!!!??? YOUR CHILD ISN'T YOUR BOSS, PARENTS YOU ARE OVER YOUR KIDS, YOUR KIDS ARE NOT YOUR BOSS!!!! UGHHHHH!!!!! That makes me so angry. You are not supposed to be your kids best friend, but their parent! Okay sorry a little venting. Steve found this new game online called Last Chaos. He has been trying to get me to play it with him online. SO finally last night for Family Night Activity, I played with him online for a while and it was actually pretty fun. I had fun playing with him on something that he enjoyed. I don't think that I will play it very much without him. It is fun to talk to him and to do something with him online. We got a new computer this past week. It is very sleek and cute and cheap. So we bought it. We didn't get a monitor because we already had an extra one. FUN!!! I like having two computers again, I can get on the internet and do what I need to do while Steve is doing what he needs to do. WHOOO HOOO!!!! Alright, well school is almost over and Steve is sooooo excited. He needs a break he has been working so hard on everything! I hope he does really well in his classes this year. When school is all done is when everything starts! We are going to visit family this year hopefully to see them because we haven't in so long. And then we are going to a family reunion with Steve's family this year! I am so excited. Okay well anything else? I don't think so... But if I think of something I will let you know!

Sweet Home Alabama....wait.....

Alrighty, I have had several complaints that I haven't updated in a while and I guess it's true so here I go. Texas was so much fun! We got to go and do things that we wanted to do and some things that we didn't want to do, but it all turned out to be fun and exciting anyways! We got to go hunting, and shooting at a range, and hang out with family and eat really good food, and did I mention hang out with family and eat REALLY GOOD FOOD? Man, sometimes a girl overeats herself because the food is so good... ya know what I'm talking about? Well anyways we are home again and safe and sound for all those out there who care. It hasn't really been snowing here yet and we woke up this morning with snow!!! yea!!! we were way excited. Steve has been dying for some snow so he got his wish. Oh and he changed his major to Business Management from Mechanical Engineering. So way less math and he is so excited about that. I don't really know what else is going on in our lives right now... we are just living or at least trying to live to the fullest and happiest that we can. We are craving sushi but that is an expensive craving that we are just going to have to put on the back burner for a while now. Monday is our 9 month anniversary!!! yea!!! We don't know what to do about Valentines Day yet, that will be an interesting holiday. OH and Steve didn't know when Valentines Day was! Sorry to all you ex's out there who had to remind your boyfriend about Valentines Day. Oh if you have any cheap, amazingly romantic ideas for Valentines Day let me know so I can steal them and do them for my amazing man. Love you guys and I will talk to you later!

On the Road Again...

So we are leaving the "frozen" tundra of Idaho to come to the "cold" desert of Texas for Christmas. We leave here on December 17 and come back on January 3, 2009. It seems like we travel all the time! I think we have gone somewhere to someone's house every month since we got here. That is a whole freaking lot of gas. UGGHGHHH!!!! Sorry just a little frustrated there. But the good news is that we get to travel down to Texas with my brother, his lovely wife, and their darling son. Who will be about a month old by then. He is so adorable. They are so lucky and you can tell that this was THE right decision for them and their family. Its hard not to be jealous sometimes. They have their life all together and everything is going great for them. Oh well, life is hard and then we die.  Oh well. Well I am really looking forward to spending time with our different families. I am SOOOO looking forward to it. Maybe I can spend one on one time with my sisters. That would be way fun! I will see you guys soon!
