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!!!!

Special Sethy:)

I figured there are a lot of pictures of just me on this blog so here is one of Seth:)

My belly!!!

Ok, so sometimes I just don't feel like my stomach has grown that much...and then I saw this picture and boy was I wrong!!!! This was taken at 21 weeks, I am now 23 weeks. I thought I might be embarrassed to let other people see this picture but I LOVE it!! It's crazy that inside that belly is a little baby girl.
Well, what's happened since Mother's Day???? We went to the Utah Zoo yesterday with Rossii & Angie. It was so much fun! They have a white alligator there and it was really cool. There are only 10 in the world so it was fun to see something so rare. Ross & Angie are doing great and they are so much fun. If only they could move with us! We also went to Aunt Stephanie's and planted flowers (well, Seth planted flowers and I gave moral support). Then we went to see Pirates 3. It was good, but LONG! It was a long day and we went right to bed when we got home. Today has just been a lazy day. We went to church and then we watched the first Pirates movie and now Seth is taking a nap.
School is going ok. I applied for graduation so if I can pass all my classes and finish my math by August I will have my associates degree. Only 3 1/2 weeks until we move and I can't wait! I started packing and I didn't realize how much stuff we have!
The breeze is still out of order. Seth and Scott spent many, many, many, many hours trying to get one stupid bolt off but we unsuccessful. So, the only option we have left is taking it somewhere and paying them to fix it:( We already bought all the parts so that should save us money but hopefully they don't find anything else wrong with it. Big thanks to Seth and Scott for working so hard on it!!!!

Mother's Day

So, my first mother's day was great! Seth made me breakfast in bed (waffles and a big glass of milk). Then he packed a lunch for us and we drove up to Park City. We spent a couple hours walking around and then we headed back home. It was a beautiful day so the drive through the canyon was gorgeous. When we got home Seth made my favorite dinner, pot roast, mashed potatoes, gravy and homemade rolls. It was delicious...maybe too delicious because I ate so much I thought my stomach was going to explode. Seth also had stuff to make brownies with ice cream and caramel topping for dessert, but I was just too full so we are going to do that sometime this week. After dinner we went to Seth's work and watched the Red Wings game. Gandolfo's is not open on Sundays so we had the entire place to ourselves. Sadly, the wings lost in overtime, but it was a good game. We didn't get home until late and so we went to bed. As we were laying there I was thinking about how strange it was that Seth didn't get me a present for Mother's Day. It's just not like him, he normally has things planned far in advance. Earlier, when he brought me my breakfast, he wrote me a beautiful letter and explained that he was not able to get me a present. I understood, since money is kind of tight with me not working. But, right around 11:30 p.m. I brought it up to him. I explained that I wasn't mad that he didn't buy me anything, but I just wanted to know what happened. I know, it makes me seem like such a brat and I feel terrible about that. Right then he handed me a paper with a map on it. It was a map of our apartment and where I needed to look for my present. Man, did I feel like a brat! After following the map I was led to a letter and two tickets to the Faith Hill & Tim McGraw concert!!! I started crying, of course! I was really excited because I really wanted to go to the concert, but I felt like such a brat for bringing up him not buying me a present. He made me wait all day, but it was worth it:) He said he made me wait so that it would be more of a surprise and it sure was!!!!! Seth is so great and I love him so much. I know he doesn't even like country music, but he is willing to sit through one night of all country just to make me smile. I am so lucky! My first mother's day was great! I will never forget it!

Us at Gandolfo's watching the game
Other than that we are still keeping busy with school. I am so excited for this summer term to be over. We are moving in less than 6 weeks, I can't believe it! Well, I have to study for two tests tomorrow so I should go. I hope everyone has a great week!!!!
