Moving!!!

I just wanted to update and let everyone know that we got the apartment and we're moving out tomorrow! I'm so excited I just can't believe it's finally happening, I've been waiting for this for 8 months now. This apartment has everything we've been looking for in an apartment. It has a playground, swimming pool, gym, pool table, basketball court, and even a redbox so we don't even have to leave our apartment to rent a movie. It truly is amazing, at first I told James I wouldn't move into an apartment that didn't include a washer and dryer in every apartment because I don't like laundry facilities, but this one is awesome and I don't mind it at all. The last few months it seems like we've been tested over and over again with everything, and I can finally say that things are starting to look up for us. We're so excited to finally have a place of our own and especially our own ward, don't get me wrong I love the people in my family ward but I grew up in this ward and I want a fresh start where nobody knows our age or anything about us. Sometimes I've felt like I was judged by people in my ward because I got married young, so I think it will be nice to go there knowing nobody and to finally be the "new" people in a ward:)Well I better get back to packing, I'll post some pictures once we get everything all put together.

Easter weekend and I'm sick:(

Friday I was able to get together with my friend Sarah which was a lot of fun, I always enjoy spending time with her! That night my family went out to dinner to celerbrate James' birthday a little early since his actual birthday is today. We went to this wonderful restaurant out in Bountiful, I know kind of far but it's totally worth it. I loved the food and we all had a great time, but as soon as I got home my stomach started to hurt. At first I thought it was nothing because for the past week every night when I get ready for bed I feel like I'm going to throw up but then I just fall asleep. Well this turned into a full-on stomachache that would not go away at all and I knew I had caught the stomach flu:( Let's just say I got very little sleep that night and that's a night I want to forget!

Saturday I woke up still feeling quite nauseous and to my surprise found my little niece felt the same way. I felt so bad for Natalie because it's bad enough when an adult is sick, but when it's a child and they're really so helpless it's just so sad. She was a trooper and got through it with flying colors, she didn't complain or cry at all. Since I was so sick yesterday I just stayed home all day, sleeping most of the time. Natalie and I watched a few movies together since we were both stuck home, first it was Enchanted which I'd never seen but I thought it was super cute! Then we watched Look Who's Talking, that movie is a classic to me. And last was Sleeping Beauty which I don't think I've seen but I thought it was cute. Last night James and I were going to dye some eggs together but I think I fell asleep so he did them by himself. I really don't remember what happened I just know I was extremely tired and still didn't feel the best, so I think I dozed off:) Well I fell asleep really early last night and was able to get a good night's sleep considering the night before I got no sleep, and today I woke up refreshed and feeling much, much better.

This is a really long post but there's one more part of this weekend and that's today. Today is a very special day, because not only are we celebrating the resurrection of the Savior, but it's my hubby's birthday also! Today James is 20 and officially no longer a teenager:) I can't believe how fast time has gone by, we were both 16 (James was almost 17) when we met and here we are almost 4 years later married, it's so crazy. Today we've been married for 8 months which has completely flown by I still can't believe it's been that long! So my mom's making a special dinner today for easter and my uncle's coming over, and I'm going to make "Better Than Anything Cake" also known as "Better Than Sex Cake," but I feel uncomfortable calling it that around my family, so to me it's better than anything cake! James' present this year was our little dog Bruiser that we got a few weeks ago, he also got some money from my parents and his, and my sister bought him some church shoes that he was in desperate need of. I just want James to know how much I love him and I couldn't imagine my life without him. Happy Birthday babe I love you!! I hope everyone has a great Easter weekend:)

A little update!

So James got the job that I talked about in my previous post YAY!! He's going to be working at West Valley Auto Plaza, which is right across the street from the apartment that we're hoping to move into. We're still waiting to hear from the apartment about how our credit check went, and then if everything works out we're scheduled to move in on the 15th. We're so excited and I'm thinking James was meant to get this job because when he first called them they just said to come in on Monday at 9, and the next thing you know he's calling me like five minutes after nine saying he got the job! I think he was meant to get this job and we're meant to move into these apartments because everything has happened so quickly and things just seem to be working out. Well I'll keep you posted about the apartment!!

Changes

In the past month we have had many changes in our life and I neglected to write about them in previous posts, so I figured I'd update! James lost his job about a month ago and things have been quite stressful since then. Luckily I'm still watching kids so that's brought in enough money, and with living at my parents we don't have a rent payment which is good. He's been looking for quite sometime and finally we've got some promising news, he has an interview on Monday and it sounds like he's already got the job so I'm crossing my fingers! We've also been looking for an apartment and I think we've found the perfect one, the rent's not bad and it's got all the things we would want and need. I'm just praying that everything works out with this job and apartment because I don't want to go through another disappointment like we previously did. If we get this apartment we're hoping to move in just after James' birthday probably around the 15th, I'm so excited and ready to move out it's definitely time! I'm still watching Jerzi and I'm loving having a baby around, it's been a sheer joy. My sister's family isn't moving to Las Vegas now so I'll be watching Tyson and Natalie for now. I'm glad since they've been living with us for the past two years it would be really hard to only see them occasionally.

In other news we got a puppy, he's a pug and we named him Bruiser. He was an early birthday present for James, he turns 20 on Easter. We already have a dog that I've had since before James and I got married, he's a shih tzu and his name is Bandit, but James wanted his own dog. Although I consider both Bruiser and Bandit to be ours. James has loved taking care of Bruiser and he just adores him, he even calls him his baby. That tells me that James is really anxious for us to have kids! I asked James what he wants for his birthday, besides Bruiser and he said he would love it if I told him I was pregnant. I think that would be great but unfortunately that's not up to me, someone else has to make that decision and maybe he thinks we're not ready yet:( On that same note which I'm sure you've already guessed it I'm not pregnant, at least that I know of. We've been trying now for about 8 months and still nothing. I'm getting kind of concerned because I was told by a doctor a couple years ago that due to something he found in an MRI I might have a hard time getting pregnant and that the sooner it happened the better. Well that decision is in God's hands and I trust him to know what's best for me!! That's about it I'll post some pictures of the apartment if we get it and of Bruiser as soon as I can.
