Packing

I just wanted to write and vent a little. I hate the week before you more, I don't know if anyone has live in as many places as I have over the last 3 years, but the week before you move is so hectic. Okay so lets go over the list of places I have lived: I moved here and lived with my college roommate Jewels, then when my contract was over I moved in with Julie an Lindsay, then I moved in with my Aunt Amanda and Uncle Tony- who saved my life by letting me stay with them by the way, then I moved in with my good friend Emily, we moved to Pleasant Grove, then I got married and lived in a 4-plex until it was condemned 2 months later and we moved into Mark's sisters' house in Provo- we had so much fun fixing up the yard planting new plants and what not, but when Marks brother came back from being gone for the summer, things just all went down hill, the house was a mess mostly outside, I started to feel like a maid. Well needless to say we moved because of personal issues that were not going to be solved any time soon. Now we live in a basement apartment in Orem, and if you look at my lat post you will know why we are moving. our new place we have signed a lease for a year so I am hoping everything goes right and we are able to stay for the whole year! I don't know if you have been counting, but that is 7 places about to become 8 in the last 3 years that I have lived, and each time I seem to accumulate 10 times the amount of stuff. But anyways I just wanted to vent because there are boxes everywhere and I am sick of bending over to pack them, which is not an easy task when you have this bowling ball in your lap. I think I need to take it easy though, my doctor told me if I pick up one thing that I know I am not suppose to then she is going to be very upset, and i don't think I am willing to make the woman mad that will be the only one that knows what she is doing when the time comes to get this little baby out of me :) Anyways there you have it for today... tomorrow will only go better from here!! :))

On the road.... AGAIN????

On the Road AGAIN????

Okay so I haven't posted in a while because I haven't really felt so happy about our situation, but that is no excuse to avoid things... well anyways here is the story: When me and Mark got home from work and school on April 7^th, 2009 we have a letter on our door. We figured it was the utilities bill from our landlord... but we were very wrong. The letter stated, and I quote, “ do to situations beyond my control I am forced to serve you with letter to give you 30 days to vacate the premise”

We were shocked!! I was so so so mad, I was throwing out lawyer and court ligations and what ever you want to call it, saying that this was illegal, and how could he do this, and what are we going to do about all of this. Well after going away for the weekend, I was able to clear my head, and I decide to just start looking for another place to live, even though our landlord had served us with an illegal eviction notice. I was so bummed, and I was convinced I wouldn't be able to find anything that would be in our price range and be livable, and allow 2 pets. I have to admit someone was looking after us because the first place I looked at was amazing, totally in our price range, actually less than we are paying now, 2 bedroom 2 bath and allows our puppies to be there. How lucky are we. I have to admit I had my doupt, actually I had a lot of doubt, and I was so irritable and just plane bummed, but when times are hard, I need to remember that the Lord does not give you any temptation that we are not able to overcome. He will along with the trial provide means for us to overcome. And he sure did, right before I looked for an apartment I prayed that I would be led in the direction I needed to find an apartment that would be best for us, and I also prayed for a calm demeanor so that I could handle all of this.

Me and Mark are so blessed that things have worked out, we are moving into a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment. The great news is that the only reason they can kick us out is for illegal activities, or failure to pay rent, neither of which we plan to do. So until Mark finishes school, this will be the last place we live in in Utah. Which is great because moving with a newborn does not sound like fun to me.

So anyways we move this Friday, May 1^st ! And maybe if we are lucky both momma and papa will be in town to help us out with the move but Mom will be able to help out with all the emotional aspect of the whole big move. I am just hoping Eldon stayed calm for the next few weeks till I have everything set up in his room. Well that is my big story for this month!

Marks new do

April 14th, 2007

Marks Hair
So Mark finally decided to get a new look. after a lot of thought he decided he wanted to shave his head, I guess he is preparing for the sun and the warm weather that we are in desperate need of. Well Mark decide to surprise me with a little alteration to his plan. He came in the room with everything but the center of his hair cut, and the center was spiked, in sort of a skunk like fashion, but he calls it his Mohawk. I quickly let him know he wasn't allowed out of the house that way. He laughed and responded with a WHY NOT? I just smiled, took a few pictures for his memories, and let him finish the job. So here is Mark's haircut that lasted all of 2 minutes

Wow 98 more days!!! 26 weeks along, it seems to be so surreal to be this far, I remember the days I use to wish that I could feel our little man moving around. It just seemed to be so far off in the distance. When I found out that I was pregnant I use to lay there as still as I could and try to see if I could feel anything, And now my little motor boat never stops. I couldn't imagine having twins, two babies inside just kicking me kicking each other It would be like a war zone inside of me.
Well me and little Eldon went back to work on Monday, working for APX alarm in the scheduling department. I like being able to associate and talk with people, but I don't think Eldon quite likes it. He doesn't like me sitting down for long periods of time, and when I do he quickly reminds me by a quick jab of two in the ribs, until I listen to him. I think he would be perfectly content if I laid flat on my back or stood up for the rest of the pregnancy!! I love this little boy inside me. Before hi all I knew was that no matter what as long as I had Mark than everything else in my life would be perfect, and now it's not just him... I have to have both him and our little baby in my life to survive. My heart has gown double in size in the past few months and I am pretty sure it will burst the second I see his amazing angelic face. I can't wait to meet the amazing baby that has been inside me for these past 6 1/2 months! He is incredible and I know he will bring nothing but joy to our family. Of course I know it will be tough, but so so so so worth it!
