Moving out and in Friday May 1st
Okay so now for an update, Thursday and Friday we moved into our apartment. I did most of the packing and my poor hubby had to do all of the lifting and all of the carrying things up the stairs, did i mention we live on the 3rd floor! He had a little help here and there, but I felt so bad that I couldn't help out more. But even though I hated the thought of moving again, I really do think this is for the best, rather than waiting till Eldon gets here and then having to manage moving!! Now that would be crazy, but now I am just left getting our little apartment ready for our little man on the way! Which now I am wishing I had more time because it is easy to move in but it is harder to unpack and find a place for everything. Eldon's room luckily is all done... and I love It! below are Pictures of his room so far, we still have picture and maybe painting to do...
Now onto the rest of the house
Momma and Pappa came to town Monday May 4th
Mom and dad came into town on Monday, Mark picked them up from the airport, I was at work, then dad went to work and mom and Mark came down to Provo and had lunch with Nic and Kristen, then Mom and Mark came and brought me lunch. Tuesday I worked all day so I didn't get to see either of them. But Wednesday I took all day off work to spend the day with Mom searching for a house! I had a blast being with her all day it was so nice just getting quality time with her. Then later that night we went to a Japanese steakhouse that cooks in front of you, and we had dinner with Mom and Pappa and Mark and Kristen, in celebration of dad's birthday!! My parents are so young, I can't believe i will be making them grandparents at 46! Nic wasn't with us he left Monday to sell pest control in Arizona. Well mom had a Dr's appointment on Thursday and then left early Friday morning so I wasn't able to see mom again before she left, but she will be back for good soon, so I can't wait!
My first "Mother's Day" Sunday May 10th
Okay so I am not really sure if I qualify as a mother yet, but either way I am some sort of mother in training.. or mother to be, either case, Sunday we attended our new ward, which I love by the way, and the primary children and the young men and men's choir sang "I see my mother kneeling", and I don't know what it was about that song, but the tears just all got welled up in my eyes, and I just felt this intense sense of accomplishment, like I was overcome with happiness and pride. I just felt so lucky that my heavenly father has blessed me with this beautiful baby inside of me, and out of all others he has chosen me to raise his child of God! Wow is the only way to describe the emotions I felt.
Later on that day I went on LDS.org and just searched some of the past conference talks, one in particular spoke right to me. It said, " being a mother is said to be second only to Godliness!!!!" how intense is that, this is such a serious commitment me and Mark are about to enter, and how can we not just marvel at the opportunity and blessing we have been given. because that is what it is, It is a gift from our Father in heaven, no matter how much we wanted to be parents, it was him who choose us worthy enough to be parents to our perfect little boy on the way. Although our past ear of marriage we have had to endure much trials that seem to hit us just at the wrong time, I know heavenly father is preparing the way for his spirit child to come into our home, and we have been prepared for him to come home. I can't wait for this incredible blessing to unfold!
