O My Goodness

O My Goodness

We bought a Car it looks like this.....

We have an offer excepted and we are working through the steps of buying a home that looks like this....

It's a pretty stella house and has some pretty upgrades. It's in Clarkston, UT. It's about a 30 min drive from Thomas's work but we love everything about it and it feels like a really nice place to call home. The population is 600. That's less then my high school graduation class. But again it just fits.

We are doing this again and it looks like this....

That is a crazy fish it you didn't know. We are doing Baby Animal Days this weekend and I'm so excited/ terrified/ going crazy over it. But we are really looking forward to and it and hope it goes super well.

I have been working hard in my ballet class and I have a recital tomorrow. I have to tell my self with confidence that I will do amazing and that it will go so well. Negative thinking has got me no where in the past
 

We love this Kiddo Alot!! He is the reason we do all these crazy things!!

Life Lately in 6 bullets

It's been awhile since I have posted. Sometimes I read all the blogs I follow and love and it's takes so much time that I forget I have my own blog. To say the least it has been an incredibly eventful couple months both delightful and draining. So...

1. Thomas got a job at ICON health and fitness as an electrical tech!!! And yes he did get his degree in English with an emphasis in creative writing. And yes he does want to become an author. He promised me a super expensive dinner for the first book he gets published. I'm thinking about renaming my blog to, "The wife of an English Major, creative writing emphasis." I bet I'd be one of a kind. If not maybe It would feel good to know i'm not one of a kind.

2. We looked for a house to buy and we found this incredible one in Hyrum and our offer was not excepted. Then we found one in Logan and the same thing happened. They were both foreclosures so I felt like we had to wait weeks on both. We got kind of burnt out quickly because of budget is to small for our expectations. We are just going to have to be patient.

3. I quit my job at All About Kids. I knew I wanted to quit after I was done being a sub for a girl on maternity leave but it took an absolute terrible day with Asher being badly sick and me not being able to get off work. It pushed me over the edge and I was done. I didn't feel like putting my job before my family was something I was ever willing to do again.

4. I've learned to make some dang good bread. It's my sister's recipe and i'm getting it down pretty good. My house feels weird because i'm able to keep it clean. O ya and I actually cook something for dinner ever night. Asher and I have had a blast doing fun things together around our community. It's honestly hard to be a stay at home mom. I want to cry because I sometimes feel useless and board. But in my heart I know that I've tried and I don't want to be anywhere else but at home with my sweet boy.

5. I feel like something is missing. Most likely because there is. It could be a million things but gosh I want me another baby. It's been 21 months. That's almost 2 years. I've been to the doctor's. I tried a million and one things. I've read books. I've thought outside the box and done weird things. I've cried. I've read other's stories. I've told myself that if I wasn't ever able to get pregnant that I would be honestly happy because Asher is my pride and joy. It's still hard though. It's always hard to not get what you want. So we are hopeful    

6. Life is good! Asher is a stinking cutie. He is so sweet. He is so aware of me and my feelings. He is so creative and he does things that blow my mind because I don't think 3 year old's could be so smart and aware. He has a sense of humor that is so hilarious. Yesterday were threw around a pair of pants because we couldn't find a ball. We then chased each other around the house with a toy he thinks is scary. Gosh I love the little boy to pieces. And he knows it :D

The Big 23!

I can't believe I'm 23! I feel like i'm in the prime time of life. I'm loving evey second of my days. I love my family and the blessing that the gospel brings to my life. Here are some highlights of the best Birthday to this day! 

We went an caught salamanders in a little pond up Logan Canyon 

My sisters came and had cake and ice cream! 

 

Best toenail polish ever! Go L'Oreal Paris!!

Girls Day Photo Shoot

I had a lot of fun dressing up and doing this shoot with Stephanie Hyde. She has so much talent and I love her to pieces. Thanks so much Steph!

Graduation Class of 2012

Thomas and I graduated together this past Saturday. It was a really surreal feeling. As I was walking up to get my half diploma I was overcome with emotion because we had put so much faith, time, energy and money into our degree's. I saw Asher and all our family in the stands and I was almost in tears. I did finish my classes in December but walking across the stage for some weird reason just made me feel awesome. I'm so grateful for everyone who came and supported us.  I'm glad we choose to do the whole ceremony thing. Thomas wants to become an author but in the mean while we are still brainstorming to see what he wants to do, so we can get in the position to where he can take care of our needs enough to start writing. Asher and I are still enjoying our job and we are excited for the summer.

So.....

So I got a job. It's at a Preschool called All About kids here in Logan. Asher and I have really liked it so far and look forward to our days there.

So Thomas and I are going to be doing the big real life fishing pond again at Baby Animal Days in Logan. The last attempt was kind of a traumatic downer, so I'm pretty scared out of my pants. Thomas however found a great sponsor and so we don't have to worry about losing almost everything. I'm pretty excited to see if we can have some success this time around.

So I totally cried like a baby with this weeks episode of the Biggest Loser. Haha I've never watched the show before and never got why people might cry. I totally understand now, you can totally get sucked into shows like that. I also watched the Bachelor for the first time and was pretty disappointing. Need I say more...

So Asher is getting really big. We haven't mastered the art of potty-training yet and I wish I would have before we started the new job but well get there. My mom bought a huge box of pull-ups. Asher is so sweet, kind and so aware of others feelings. He has so much energy. I love being able to communicate with him though words. His favorite things to do are read books and play with blocks. His guilty pleasure is drinking chocolate milk. He begs for it daily. That boy has a mind of his own for sure. If he has it set in there, he will find a way in or out of the situation. haha it kind of reminds me of his dad.

Photo Shoot

I had a little girls day with Steph and she put together this super fun photo shoot together. The girl is so fabulous and talented, so if you need photo's taken contact her because it would be worth it.
