Life as of 03/31/2016

Well, I figure I should throw up an update on our lives too!
We just moved to Sandy. That's been really exciting. Everything happened so quickly that we both feel this is where we are supposed to be right now. Our apartment isn't very nice, but it's huge. 1400 sq feet of bliss. It's technically the basement of the house, but it's a walk out so none of it is really underground. The yard is 100% ours. They told us they don't want to use it so our dogs can pretty much roam free. It's been such a blessing.


Our landlords are straight out of India. Okay they speak English, but if you aren't staring at their mouths, you have no idea what they are saying. They cook a lot of Indian food too, so when we turn on the heat, we get a tiny curry scent. That's been fun.


Michael is still in school at Weber State. Actually we are being forced out of the Marine Corps. Since their isn't a war, they are downsizing the amount of people they have to pay. We have ben fiddling around with the idea of joining the Army & although it isn't our first branch of the military, they take care of families a lot better than the Corps does. Michael would do ROTC & become an officer through Weber State & then we would go active Duty after he finishes PA school. So as of right now, that's the tentative plan.


I'm still at MACU & still hating it. The only thing that keeps me sane is knowing that in 16 weeks & 5 days I'm done. I really want to do a huge mic drop quit, but let's be honest. I'll probably cry for no apparent reason. Oh good! I'm glad we brought up crying. It seems that's all I do anymore. That's been the most frustrating part of this pregnancy for me. I am so 100% grateful for it & you girls know that, but I have zero control over my emotions. Frank licks my foot & I cry. Michael tells me he loves me & I cry. A member looks at me wrong at work & I cry. It's been fun... Pretty much I'm super embarrassed by it.


I really miss you girls. Michael is gone 3 nights out of the week with school or his recovery meetings leaving me home alone until 9 which isn't too bad, but as I said before, it makes me cry haha


Michael has been doing so good! I had a little panic attack once I found out we were having a boy, but I then realized who better to teach Ezra about the dangers & how to respect a woman better than a man who has overcome this same struggle!? No one. I know I feel like I always bring this up, but I just have a huge testimony of the Atonement & it's truly healing power. Not only has it healed me, but Michael.


Anyway, I'm here.
I'm alive.
I'm really happy.
& now I'm crying.


:)


I love you all!
