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 7th, 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 1st ! 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

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
(Top)Mark trying to look cool :) (Bottom) Mark Very happy about his new Look

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!

The Big Move
A Big Move
Okay so the biggest news of all this week is that Momma and Papa are moving to the West!!! We found out last week that they are moving to Utah most likely at the end of the school year in May! Crazy news, I know a lot of people are really bummed about it all, but I have to say that I am so excited for them to be here. There are so many days where I miss just being around them, and I am jealous of everyone that gets to see them on a regular basis, but It will be so great having them here when Eldon is born. I am just ecstatic that they won't miss out on him growing, they will be able to be close and won't have to see him age through pictures! I can't wait.
A Quick Update
Just a quick update things with the pregnancy are gong great. I think I am going to give birth to a Mexican jumping bean!!! He is quite the mover. It is starting to begin to get harder to bend over. I was doing the laundry this week and I swore if I had to bend over one more time, than I might not get back up!! But luckily I did. I am just trying to keep myself busy so that I won't begin to gen to tired. Anyways here is an updated picture... I didn't want to take it but Mark convinced me too!!!
24 Weeks 1 day prego!

24 weeks!!
Quick Update:
Okay so for a quick update.... I have been so busy with absolutely nothing it seems, but still I can't find time to just relax. I got a job at APX alarm, the same place Mark works now, I will just be working in a different department. Not exactly what I would want to be doing but it does pay well and plus it will be easier as I move into my 3rd trimester, which is so close to being here, only one more week really and my 3rd trimester will be here!!!! I am so excited I could scream. Mark is still busy with school, he always has something he has to study or get done, and with work on top of it all, poor hubby never gets a break. But I love him he is such a hardworking, he makes me so happy!
Prego Update:
Okay so I am 24 weeks how crazy is that!!! WOW, it was so slow in the beginning and now it just seems to be rushing at us so quickly. I don't want it to go by fast, well I kinda do, but at the same time I am starting to hit a realization point.... I just spend hours thinking wow, he really is coming and soon! My nerves are just on there ends, I just hope I can be a great mother and at the same time still be a great... or even better wife to my Mark! Things are just really exciting and overwhelming at times, but as long as I just pay attention to what's happening now it makes it easier to go through. Looking to far ahead just makes me nervous.
Funny Story:
Mark has started to run every night to get ready for entering the firefighting program soon. He runs almost 2 miles around the neighborhood and then does a few sprints in front of our home.
Okay so Monday night we got back from dinner, and Mark left to go running. When he was done, he went out front to run his sprints. Now what he does is he runs as fast as he can a short distance back and forth with a few quick seconds of cool down in between. After finishing up he came inside and no more than 5 minutes had past by and we got a call from our landlord asking us to come outside , he said the police were here and to come out now. We both walked outside not knowing what this was all about. When we went outside not only were there police there, but there were 4 of them... not just 2. The police took me and Mark apart from each other and one asked me questions while the other spoke with Mark. The cops first question was, " are you having marital problems, or have you been having arguments?" I said no in a questioning manner, I didn't know why he would ask me that. He asked a few more questions, just sort of a rephrase of the first question, I finally asked him what the problem was. Apparently the police were called by a neighbor because they saw his doing his sprints, and they had watched him over the past couple nights, they said to the police that he looked upset and angry like he had been in an argument or that he was mad enough to go home and cause a domestic dispute because he was just pacing back and forth and breathing heavy ( a normal person would think... wow they are running hard, but no this person just thought he was mad and pacing). Mark cleared the situation with the police and we went back inside.
Moral of this story is never go running at night in Happy Valley. One of your neighbors might think you are mad, and you might go home to beat your wife!

21 week ultrasound
Ultrasound
Okay so we have great news our little Eldon is doing great! We got to see him on ultrasound for the 3rd time this Friday, he was so adorable... and so much more photogenic!! The ultrasound tech did a lot of things I didn't really understand, I wish she would have slowed down a bit to let us enjoy it an understand it all, but I understand it was the end of the day on Friday and she had a lot to get done. From what I saw she measured Eldon's belly, head ( all different directions, she looked at the liver, and made sure there was a 4 chambered heart, Also she measured his lower leg. From the looks of it all he is measuring about a week bigger than what he is... which could actually be closer to his actual due date, because we really didn't know when exactly the pregnancy started, so it was just a rough guess to begin will. Lets hope his due date is sooner... because then I am that much closer. We will see:) Lets see other than that I don't think us Georges have much more that when on this week, other than Mark is still super busy all the time with work and school. Hopefully he will get a break, I know he needs one. He works so hard and I love him for that!!!
Here is Eldon Allen at roughly 21 weeks!!!!!
