We made it:)

We finally made it to Oregon:) We left Thursday around 3pm and stayed in Boise that night. We left Boise around 11am, after a long battle with retying the tarps. Then we arrived at Seth's parents house around 6:30pm. It was a long drive, but everything went smooth. Oh yeah, we bought a car on Wednesday. It is a 2002 Ford Taurus. It has 48,000 miles on it and we love it. The crazy thing is when we started looking for cars I told Seth I do not want a Ford or a white car.....and we bought a white ford;) So far it has been really good to us. There is a lot of room and we get great gas mileage.
Friday night we just rested and then Saturday we went to breakfast with Tina and Scott (they drove the truck and trailer out here to help us). We went to two movies, Fantastic Four: The Silver Surfer and Oceans Thirteen. They were both really good and free so that made them even better (thank you Cyndy). We went to Mikes where Scott works and had lunch. Did a little bit of shopping, went to dinner at a BBQ place and then just hung out back at Tina & Scott's hotel. They left early this morning. It was sad saying goodbye, but I know that this is where I am supposed to be so what can ya do??? They will be out to visit again in November for Kimberly's baby blessing.
Right now we are staying at Seth's parents house. I have an appointment tomorrow to look at an apartment and I plan to spend the majority of the day looking for somewhere to live. It's so hard living out of a suitcase right now, especially since we didn't pack our clothes that well. Seth has an interview either Monday or Tuesday and he has some other job options we are going to look into. So, that's our crazy life for now. I will try my best to keep everyone updated. We love and miss everyone and please, come visit us anytime:)

busy, busy, busy

Well, things are crazy busy right now! We are in the middle of finals, trying to pack and get ready to move and to top it all of the breeze is out of commission. So, in addition to our already busy lives right now we are looking for another car to buy. It's a long story, but to sum it all up they didn't fix it and now it's worse than it was before. So, we're back to sharing the Cavi but hopefully we can find something before we move, we really need the extra space to put boxes. If not, then we will just look for something in Portland. This is probably going to be our last post until things settle down after the move. Don't worry about us, things may be a little crazy right now but it won't last forever:)

Well....

So, we finally got our car back today, hooray:) It is strange driving it after driving the cavi. The oil leak is fixed and so is the air conditioning (that will be great for the drive back to Portland) It cost us a little more than what they quoted us, but still a great price. The Dr's appointment went good, I am going back one more time before we move to have my glucose test done. It sounds very fun. I get to eat a small breakfast, nothing high in sugar so maybe an egg and toast. Then I don't get to eat lunch. I go in and drink some sort of liquid mixture, wait an hour and then get blood drawn. Fun! Oh, and the other great news is I gained 12 pounds in the last 4 weeks (it's hard to type so you can sense my sarcasm, but that is not great news.) I am retaining a lot of water and my fingers are swelling really bad. I can't even wear my wedding ring anymore:( My ankles and feet are starting to swell, but they are not too bad yet. The doctor is not concerned because I don't look like I've gained that much weight but I do need to watch my salt intake. Other than that nothing exciting has happened. Here are some more pictures from me at 24 weeks, us at the Hoggle Zoo and me with a white alligator (there are only 10 in the entire world!)

What a great day:)

Well, yesterday was a great day. We officially became debt free (except student loans which we will never be free off!!!). It is a good feeling not worrying about credit cards! We are taking the Breeze into the shop today so hopefully it will be fixed by next week. Keep your fingers crossed that they don't find anything else wrong with it! The best part of yesterday was when our manager came over last night and told us they found someone to take over our lease!!!! So we signed all the paperwork and we are out of here on June 21st without having to pay anymore rent to Legacy Apartments:) We did have to pay $50 to sign over our contract, which I think is dumb, but it's better than paying $300 to break our contract. It feels good knowing that everything is falling into place. Now the only things left to do are find a dr in Oregon, which I am calling about today because I think I found one, and finding a new place to live. I'm not so stressed out anymore now that things are starting to happen, now I just have to pass Biology before we move, that one is a little tougher to do. The class is so hard!!! Only 6 more classes and then the final......I can do it!!!! Wish me luck:)
Seth only has 2 weeks of work left and then he is done with Gandolfo's. I have my last appointment with Dr. Cherrington today. I'm curious to see how much weight I've gained since the last appointment. My appetite has increased a lot. I get hungry about every 2 hours now. Being pregnant is still a lot of fun, but I am getting into the uncomfortable part of it. My hips are sore and it is getting harder to sleep but I guess that's just preparing me for when Kimmie is born and I don't get to sleep;) Well, I have to study before biology class, I am going to ace this quiz today!!!!
