Its Official

I decided that I can finally announce now that it is official, that I am going back to school. I decided that I needed a better degree than massage therapist. I decided to go back just in case anything ever happens to Mike and I have to work. I need something I can go to that pays a little bit. I am starting again in the fall. I am going to uvsc soon to be uvu. I am going into elementry education. Abigail will go to day care while we are at school. Which will be basically about 3 hours a day.
So I had to take the math placement test today. I found out that if you don't study math for years and years that you can forget it. Especially if you never use it. And if you are bad at Math to begin with. So I am going into a lower math than what I transferred. Oh well.
Abigail was very cranky during church yesterday. Mike was in the hall with her most of sacrament she was crying the whole time. Then during Sunday school I was in the hall with her. After that we went home. I did make it to the first five minutes of Sunday school though. During that time. Abigail kept standing up in my arms. Then surprised me by going to the lady behind me and giving her a hug. Then played with her for a little bit then started crying for me. I do not have a shy child. She talks so much when she is around people. It is so cute.

Lunch with Friends

Today I went to lunch with some of my friends. It was really nice to get out of the house for awhile. We went to the Pizza Factory. I had pasta and salad. Abigail ate goldfish and cottage cheese. Which she loved both. It was fun to be able to sit back and enjoy time with my friends. Afterwards Abigal and I went to target with Amanda and her kids. I found Abigaila cute swimming suit. We are planning on buying her a swimming pool this summer that is for 6 months to 18 month old babies. I think she will love it because she already loves bath time.
After target Abigail and I were going home. We had just gone under the freeway and stopped at the red light. Because the people getting off the freeway had the green light. I was just sitting there minding my own business. When the lady behind me decided that she needed to turn right. I was wondering where she was going because the road to our right was the off ramp. She went until she saw the big DO NOT ENTER sign. Stopped and went across the the off ramp road. By this time our light had turn green, so she was having a hard time getting back onto the main road. Finally an under cover cop let her in front of him. And turned on his lights. She got pulled over on the spot. I know it was probably a mistake, but what she did was dangerous for everyone around.
After that I took Mike the car and he brought me home. I told him the story and he laughed. He had good news also at his job they sold their software to a lady that makes millions a year. So they said to give her good treatment. Mike was the lucky one that got to set up her software. He was so excited about it. Because of her they will probably get more business. Which is good for his company and the workers. I am so happy that Mike got this job. It is 100 times better than the bakery. He is happier there. He is just not as stressed.

Finally

I am finally almost all unpacked. I just have two more boxes that don't have much stuff in them. I had most of it done before Saturday. But on Saturday Mike helped me unpack our bedroom. I put that room last. But I think it is because we are hardly in that room. It looks so nice that it is almost done. I am to the point that I won't mind if people come and visit.
Abigail woke up last night screaming. She hadn't had a bowel movement for a couple of days and she finally had one last night. It was all over her pajamas and legs. I was so tired I just washed her off with a wet wipe. I am going to give her a bath today. When we changed her this morning, we found out she has a nasty diaper rash. It was even bleeding. I am going to watch it and if it doesn't get better in a day or so I will get her into the doctor.
We really like our new ward. We went last week, but Abigail threw up all over me, so we had to leave. But yesterday we stayed the whole time. Abigail stayed the whole time in sacrament. She will sit between Mike and I and play with her book. In Sunday school Abigail kept smiling at this couple and tried to talk to her. Mike took her to priesthood. We decided that we would take turns taking her to class with us. I met one of my neighbors. She has a little girl a month older than Abigail. That makes three babies around the same age in our cul DE sac. It will be fun for them to play with each other.

I have been tagged and "It's all about ME"

What I think:
I think if people have a disagreement that they should talk it out. Not fight it out. An example Friday night, after I got Abigail to bed. My neighbors started arguing. They were throwing things and every other word was the "f" word. I had my windows open, because it was warm so I heard basically everything. I had to go into another room to get away from it. It stopped at about 10:00 and then after I went to bed it started again about one or two.

What I like: I like the quietness of early morning or late night. Especially when you are outside in the mountains. Its just so peaceful and a good time to think.

What I know: I know being a parent is one of the best things that you can do. Even if you struggle financially it is all worth it in the end.

What I want: I want enough money to pay off our bills and still have money to buy a new car and have some just to spend on us.

What I see: I see my husband playing his x-box again. He got our baby to sleep today and took a cute picture of her. After she fell asleep in her bouncer toy.

I tag: Sarah and Cindy

Morning surprise

This morning right after Mike left for school, I heard a truck pull in. I saw that it was a RC Willey truck. I thought that's cool someone got new furniture. So I ignored it. Then our doorbell rang. For a minute I thought that it was Mike. He sometimes forgets things and will knock on the door. So I went and answered it. Still in my pajama's looking horrible. But it was the RC willey guys. I guess that our apartment managers ordered our apartment a new oven range. I was surprised, but gladly let them in. The new one is so much nicer and clean and it is white not the ugly cream or whatever color the old one was. Abigail just watched with interest when the guys were bringing it in. Which required climbing over me and pulling my hair to get there.
I guess now I will have to try it out.

9 month check up

Today Abigail had her 9 month check up. She now weighs 15 3/4 pounds. The doctor said that she looks really healthy and luckily she didn't have to get shots. They hust had to take her blood to make sure that she is not animic.
Our doctor is located in Payson. The drive down there was not bad, but the way back Abigail was screaming. She was hungry and tired and wondering why I wasn't taking car of her. I also saw this driver that was writing in a note book as he was driving. I tried to get away from him. When I lived in Washington I saw someone who was drinking a beer while driving.
We were thinking about changing doctors, but I really like this doctor. So we don't know yet. Abigail really seems to like him. She is just all smiles with everyone there. I guess we will see. I am just not sure who would be a good doctor out here.
Today Abigail was playing with one of her toys. Its a cookie jar that has little shapes in it as cookies. Abigail had her face sticking in it, and when she sat up she had throw up down her chin. I went and picked up the cookie jar and the bottom was filled with throw up. Mike said it was gross. I was just glad that it was in the cookie jar and not on the floor.

My pants don't fit.

Ever since I was pregnant, my pants have not fit. After having Abigail I bought the size bigger than I normally wore. They fit for awhile, but then got baggie. So I bought another pair. And now they are baggie. But I still can't fit into my regular pants. it is so annoying. I was telling Mike about it earlier today and he said "we will buy you a new pair dear." I just want to fit in my old pants. I hope someday I will.
We are loving our new place. Abigail is adjusting well. Everytime I am putting something away she is at my feet trying to grab it. We have nothing on the bottom shelf of our book shelf because she would pull it out. Abigail is also pulling stings out of the carpet and trying to eat them. I cathc her before she does. So I went craling around trying to find the strings and they are very hard to pull out. She must be tuff.
I got to go pack for the weekend. My friend is getting married tomorrow in the Manti temple and Mike and I were invited to the sealing. So we are going to Delta for the weekend. Mike's parents are going to watch Abigail while we are gone. I just hope that she is good for them. We are heading down tonight because we have to be to the temple in the morning. Which is good because Abigail will sleep the whole way down.

We are moved!

So Saturday went better than I expected. I had most of the house packed up already, when people arrived to help move us. So we just had to take things out to the truck. We had a lot of help so it was fast. Abigail was good the whole time.
We love our new place. Mike and I both feel like it is home. Where our last place was kind of scary, and iffy. I was home alone one time and the phone on the wall rang and there is no service to it. Plus it was scary at night we had to leave a light on. And I am usually one that likes to sleep in total darkness. Abigail is adapting well. She sleeps in her own room with no problem and last night was the first night since she got sick to sleep all night long.
I will put pictures of our new place up after I get unpacked and organized. Which I am taking my time. I have to go clean our old apartment today and tomorrow. I have a baby sitter tomorrow, so I can use chemicals. So I will clean the other rooms today while I have her with me.

packing

Ok, Mom I am ready to go!
Yummy, I like to eat my socks.
Nap Time. Yesterday I was doing a few things and I looked down to find Abigail sound asleep on the floor.
I got the diaper bag. Lets go.
We have two more days until we move. Yay!!! It is seeming more real to me. Tomorrow Mike and I are going to go pick up the keys and take a few items over to our new place. I have been packing most of today. The primary president came over today and helped me pack my kitchen. It took 13 boxes. But we got it done. Luckily Abigail went down for a nap while we were packing so I didn't have to worry about entertaining her. I still have a few more rooms to pack. But hopefully I will be done soon. It is going to be so nice when this week is over.

Moving

We are moving on Saturday. Time is going so fast, and I have so much to do. With me being sick a lot of this month I am not even close to being packed. I know I will get it done, but every time I start to pack I start getting tired fast or Abigail needs me. She is finally feeling better today. She is actually playing and eating. I hope that means she will sleep all night. Since she got sick this last time she has been getting up in the middle of the night. She will cry until I get her and feed her a 2 ounce (yes 2 ounces) of a bottle then go back to bed. Just long enough for me to wake up and then have a hard time getting back to sleep. It doesn't help that I was sick also. I feel mostly better. My ear is still clogged and hurts, but I just keep taking medicine and hope that it will go away. I can tell it is getting better.
I am really excited about moving, but there are good things and bad things about it.
The good We will be closer to Mike's work, more bedrooms so Abigail will have her own room. Get to get rid of things that we no longer use. Not as old of house so it will not be as chilly (not that it will matter in a couple of months)
The bad: PACKING and CLEANING Leaving my calling.
I just hope that we will have people here to help us move. Mike's brothers that live in Utah are coming and his parents and probably someone from our ward. My mom isn't coming because my dad isn't she wanted to watch Abigail, but my in-laws are. I just know it will all work out. Anyway I should go pack a little.
