An Awesome Husband...
If any of you have a great husband like mine you know how lucky you are. My hubby is who keeps me from going crazy because he has such faith that everything is going to work out and that we are going to be okay. Even when I am about to have a mental breakdown then that is when he puts his arms around me and gives me this great hug and tells me how much he loves me and everything will be okay. I also have a hubby who will get up early and make me some breakfast because he knows that I don't feel good lately. He is great about cleaning up and not having me do much of anything. I tell him quite often that if he had his way then I would just sit around and do nothing until this baby is born. He then will smile at me and say "What is wrong with that?". Of course those that know me well knows what is wrong with that when it comes to me. I have a husband who will take me on a walk every night just so that I can feel like I get my exsersice in everyday. I have a husband that is willing to work two jobs for me so that I can be a stay at home mom with our dear baby boy that is going to be born here soon. I am so grateful for a husband that is giving me a gift that I have wanted for so many years....my dear baby boy...I know the Lord helped him with this gift but my husband was willing to be with me through everything that we had to go through to get this little boy. I am just so grateful for my husband and all he dose for me. He is the love of my life and I am so glad that I found him. And I am glad we are going to be together forever and ever. I am one lucky girl..

LIfe is Awesome
I woke up the last few weeks sick, sick, sick. Then this last Sunday I woke up and was not sick. I felt really good and it was such a weird feeling. Then Monday I woke up sick again and all my pains came back from the last few weeks. I think quit a bit about that one day I had were I actually felt great and not sick and in pain for once. what dose that have to do with Life being Awesome you may ask? Well it has a lot to do with it. Heavenly Father knows that we have to learn from good and bad so even though I have been going through some bad days Heavenly Father gave me one day were I felt better. That I think is why life is awesome because even through there are hard times in life there are times were it is not so hard and you get relief. I have related it to a lot of things in my life lately. It has helped so much to keep in perspective that we have a Father in Heaven that loves us and he wants to help us have a happy and productive life. We also though have to learn the pains of what life brings and we need to just keep in mind that he has a plan for us if we just trust in him then it will all work out. I am not saying that on those days that I am so sick and have the worst headache and my body hurts so bad because my baby is dropped and getting ready to come that I don't think why??? and cant this baby just come already??? But I try by the end of the day to think this to will end and everything will be totally fine. So the next time you are in a situation that feels like it is never going to end and you just ask why??? and Can this end already??? Try to keep in mind of what Heavenly Father wants you to learn from this time in you life. Pray to him and he will help you through it and find relief. Life is Awesome....

The joys of Life changes....
Life just keeps on changing and how nice is that sometimes and not so good sometimes. Lucky we have not had a lot of bad changes in our life. We are still living in Orem and really enjoying it. It is nice and quite. Scout is now working for a security System company called Vivint he really likes it and really is learning a lot about the product. I am a stay at home wife and starting finally to enjoy it and not miss working so much. We are very excited that we only have 5weeks to go until our little boy is going to be here. I am having a hard time sleeping at least two hours at a time but I think it is my bodies way of getting ready for the baby. I am so grateful for all the love and support that we have from our family and so glad that I have a wonderful husband that loves me and works hard for our family. Life is truly awesome not matter what happens.

Doctors, Doctors, Doctors
Have you ever been so excited for something to happen and you wait for years and years and finally one day it comes true. You are so excited because it has finally happened. Then you get into it and it just is the hardest thing that has ever happened???? So that is how my pregnancy is to me. I have waited years to have a baby and throughout the years I have seen many of my friends and family get pregnant and I know it is not that easy but some of them make it seem so easy. Well I started out my pregnancy with a lot of doctor apt and ultrasounds. The second ultrasound I found out I was having twins. It was awesome I loved the idea of having two little babies. Then I went for my first ultrasound with my OB and found out that one of my dear babies had died. I was so sad and it felt weird to be that sad considering I did not even know my little baby yet I just felt such a loss. Well I knew that the Lord knows what he is doing. Then I started to have problems breathing and I went to another doctor and he told me that my heart was not working correctly and that I should consider not having anymore children, He was afraid that I would have heart failure during labor. So I had to quit my job and cut back on exercise so that I would be fine. So two months later I go back to the Heart Doctor and I had a miracle happen the doctor said that my heart is like so much better and he dose not worry about really anything anymore. So I was so happy because that meant I could have another baby in a couple of years. So at this point I thought that all my problems would be over and I have smooth sailing until Labor. Well I went to my regular check up about two weeks ago and I told them I had been really sick having a hard time seeing without blur so they ran some test and come to find out that I am having early signs of preeclampsia / Toxemia and I am boarder line gestational diabetics. So now I am on the diabetic diet and I have to cut back on the salt also. So what dose all this have to do with wanting something and then it becomes a trial??? Well I have learned that the greatest blessings in life come with the greatest challenges also and I have learned to trust in the Lord so much more in the last 8months than I ever have before. Life is wonderful no matter how much trial it throws at you. Just enjoy the good things. And remember your blessings everyday.

Changes....
Everyone hates change so I hear. Lately I have loved all of the change of my life. My parents are moving that part I don't like but the fact that my mom and dad have a income again and it is a great job makes me love the change because I truly believe that they deserve so much. They have done so much to help me throughout my life that they deserve something great. Then there is me being pregnant well sometimes I don't like that change but I do love the change of my life when this dear child that I have been waiting so long for comes to earth. I hated that change that Divorce brought into my life but the fact that I have a wonderful husband now and that I love him with all my heart tells me that the change was good in my life and I love that change. So as I look at my life I am like most people and hate some change but to tell you the truth as I look deeper I have seen so many blessings come from the changes in my life and I know I will continue to see blessings from more changes that will come. Life is awesome and I try really hard to look at the bright side of it so that I will live this life happy and not worry about all the changes that constantly happen in my life.
