In the middle

So tonight was so wonderful! My dad buys season tickets every year to watch the College of Idaho AKA Albertson's College basketball team. Well my mom is not a huge sports person so she goes with him once in a while but they had two games in a row this weekend. So my mom went Friday night and Jeremy and I got to go tonight with him. My mom, at the last minute, said she would babysit for us so that both Jeremy and I could go with my dad. I was so happy she said she would!

At the game I was sitting in the middle of the two most important men in my life, my husband and my dad. I felt like I was the most special person in the room just knowing that they were both there with me. I loved every moment of it.

The games were great! The girls team started the night out right by winning. Then the boys played. The boys were playing the number one team in the conference. It was an intense game, and our team pulled out the win. During the games my dad and Jeremy would talk about what they would do different if they were coaching and how they would have handled situations when they were in high school while on the court. It was nice to see them interacting with each other and I got to be in the middle and witness it all.

I just had a great time tonight. No kids, which I love my kids but I got a much needed break tonight. Thanks mom and Thanks dad for taking us with you!

GREAT NEWS!!

So the great news is Jeremy changed his schedule around a little for this semester. He took some needed online classes and drop his yucky night classes. So Tuesday and Thursdays are pretty much all day until 6pm, but that's it. And then some online work, but he can do that whenever he can or needs to.

I am excited! That makes it easier on me. And less money out for parking every day at the campus and less driving back and worth.

I am so happy about this change Jeremy decided to do. And hopefully it will get him through his schooling faster too. We'll see.

Doctor appointment

Well this morning I was hoping to wake up and be heading out of town. Jeremy and I were going to go to Eastern Idaho to get a break and pick up some mailers for our business. But we were both up all night with the kids. SICK KIDS....A mother's worst nightmare.

I did have to get up anyway and go to my doctors appoointment. It was just a check up to make sure baby is doing well. Everything looks great. Baby is growing as he should be (I guess). I am measuring 32 weeks...which is how far along I am. I weigh way too much...but I am blaming it on the baby. Hopefully all the weight will come off easily after the baby comes. Doctor asked me if there was anything he could do to make my life better...I told him make March come faster. He just laughed at me. RUDE!

Yes, I am very uncomfortable all the time. But 7 more weeks...I can do it!!!

School starts tomorrow for Jeremy, and the kids are back to school tomorrow also. Back to reality I guess. Bummer! Well, since everyone will be gone tomorrow for school I better go enjoy them while they are home. I love my family!!

More posts

So I have decided that I am just going to write on some days. I feel like I don't post on here much because I don't have a picture to go with it. Well, I am just going to write about what's going on and not always have a picture...sorry. But there still will be pictures just not with every post.

So since the last time I wrote on here...I have finished working at Hickory Farms. I am happy about that. Although I love working there it got a little difficult for me towards the end. I was starting to get emotional and just worn out. Although the extra money has been great. I know it's not very professional to talk about money but...I am just so excited that I have to share. We are going to be able to pay off almost all of our debt. All we will have left is Jeremy's student loans and our car. I can't believe I have finally done it. That's been a goal of mine forever. I hate debt. But we did it!

Jeremy's business of selling books has been doing fantastic. He has come across some really rare things that we have been able to sell for high amounts and make a big profit. We are both also pushing really hard to make enough money to qualify to buy a house. We can't wait to have a place of our own again and make it our home. We are hoping to find something in the area (Caldwell, Nampa, Meridian, Boise). Both of our families are close and that's what it's all about, family. We want to be close enough to everyone that we have enough "space" but can still go visit for an evening or afternoon.

College for Jeremy starts back up on Tuesday. I am not very excited about that. He has a rough schedule this semester. He has to drive to Boise Mon-Thurs in the morning and then again Monday and Wednesday evenings back to Boise. Going to be an expensive semester. And to top it all off during this semester is when we will have the baby. The c-section is scheduled for March 3rd.

March 3rd...holy cow! That is not very far from now. I have been worrying about it a lot this past couple of weeks. I don't have anything ready. Jillian is still using the crib, where are we going to put the baby? I don't have any boy clothes back from my sister. I am just not ready. I am not sure how I am going to do this. 5 kids...what were we thinking? Sorry, I am just a wreck. So today I kind of started well sort of not really. We went to a thrift store and I found a bunch of cute boy pajama like outfits, so I bought them.

So Jillian is off the bottle. What a headache! She is so grouchy and clingy to me now. I can't even put her down without her crying her eyes out. Well, she's not feeling well to top it all off. She has an ear infection and from the medicine she was taking for that she got a yeast infection. Poor girl. But last Sunday at church she got to go to nursery class for the first time. She did pretty well...but that was before we took away the bottle. We'll see how she does this Sunday.

I'm sorry I know this is all kind of random. But it's an update on all of us.

Oh...that reminds me. We are still struggling coming up with a name we like. If anyone has any suggestions please let us know. Boy names...and not Bob or Gina. :) Thanks all! With love...
