Things Change Really Quick Sometimes!

So we're back in Rexburg....how did this happen? Calvin started his internship with Dunkin and Bush a couple of weeks ago and lets just say he was not all too happy when he got home every night. They are a great company but not at all what he thought or was looking for. I hated seeing him come home so exhausted and bored and just plain miserable because he just had to get up and do it again. Calvin is not a quitter and if he had to stick it out for the whole five months he would have. His mood wears on me too though and I said that if he were to find something else and we thought it was the right thing for us, that I would go anywhere with him and we would make it work out. Well on Friday August 3rd he sent an email and resume to Streamlined Homes here in Rexburg and on Monday got a job offer....CRAZY! We had to make a decision by six that night and if we said yes he would have to be on the job by Friday. So we took all day to think about it, wrote out the pros and cons of going and staying, shared our thoughts and worries and then...Prayed...a lot. We all know from the first line of this posting what our answer was. Calvin called up Streamlined Homes and accepted the job and the next day we packed up and were on the road. It was really hard to leave family and friends so quickly because we had literally just gotten there, but we know what we were to do and every mile closer to Rexburg felt better and better. It took us three days and two hotels to get here because me and traveling while pregnant and still so sick is not much fun! Our good friends Warren and Julie are out of town for the summer and so they were so kind as to offer us there place when we got here until we found housing. Such a great blessing. I was really sick the day we got here but the next day, which just happened to be yesterday, I went into my doctor and got more medicine for my nausea. I had been taking Phenergan but was out and that stuff knocked me out so the nurse recommended Zofran and thank goodness she did. I was in heaven! I have not had that much energy or acctually wanted to eat in who knows how long! During this wonder time of the day I actually found a great place for us to live too that is totally affordable and the perfect size for our needs for the next year or so. The power of prayer is amazing, I tell you! We prayed for so many things yesterday and many if not all of those things were answered within the next day. Our hearts were so full and I told Calvin I think Heavenly Father knew how much more I Couldn't take haha. So to celebrate a great day we went to Pizza Pie Cafe and our friend Scott works there and surprised us with a cookie monster! Such a nice guy! He was so surprised to see Calvin too and excited so that was his way of celebrating with us. So here we are, things are falling into place every day and now we just have to wait for the renovations to be done on our new place so we can move in. It feels so great to be back to what has been my home for so many years now and to have such great friends who are excited to have us back! Happy Saturday Everyone :)

Catch up time!

Oh how the time flies (when you're crazy busy with school and moving). I must say that Calvin and I were most pleased to be done with the semester and to get on with other things. I was not looking forward to packing everything up and moving it to a storage unit. I was still extremely sick from the pregnancy and had little to no energy. But!...We did it! With the help of our dear friends Warren and Julie, we were able to move everything in a day and a half. How great is that! The next day I had my doctors appt. I love getting ultrasounds and even moreso when Calvin is there. I was 11w5d at my appointment but the baby was measuring very big and was super active. It was a sight to see. They were trying so hard to get a good picture of the spine to test for down syndrom and I just told them (after an hour!) that we simply did not care and didn't even know we had said we wanted that test done. So they gave us our pictures and sent us on our merry way! Other than being miserable sick, the baby is doing great and we couldn't be happier about it. I wish I could have those visits more often to keep my exhausted spirits higher haha. We left soon after to start our loooong journey to Washington. Traveling while pregnant is not so fun. Having to stop at almost every exit to use the bathroom and wouldn't you know I ended up with a massive migrane. We were supposed to stay the night in Kennewick with some friends but I simply could not make it. We wont mention how late is was and that Calvin almost ran out of diesle and had to syfin some out of a guys truck in the middle of no where! We stopped in La Grande Oregon for the night and that was the best decision ever. We got up super early and were one of the first people in the breakfast room. We ate to our hearts content and checked out and got on the road again. We had to stop in Cle Elum of course to get our favorite meat at Glondos! Best jerky in the entire world! Trust me! We eventually rolled into home around 4ish and after a day or two of switching things around the house, were somewhat settled in. It has been slow go around here for me. My day consists of sleeping, eating when I absolutely have to (its still such a chore), and reading. I must say it has been nice to read a book of my choice and not a text book! The weather here has been perfect and it is just simply beautiful in Northwest Washington. Calvin started his internship last week and is gone at the crack of dawn every morning and not home until dinner. I will be honest and say that as much as I enjoy my time to myself....I miss him terribly all day long. By the time he gets home we only have so much time together before he has to go back to sleep for the next work day. Such is life I guess. We will see how long it take for me to loose my mind. Until that time I will do my best to keep things posted. As for the pregnancy, I will be 14 weeks on wednesday and am still super sick. I just ran out of my Phenergan which means this body is fair game for sickness again haha Lets just hope im reaching the end of all of that! We wont talk about the withdrawl headachs from those pills. Well...happy Monday everyone :) Here are some pictures from our 12 week visit! Enjoy!
