Updates!!!

Our update: The last few months have been a little crazy. We are trying to get ready for this baby. Nathan was working at Toys R Us and Cabelas, but both jobs were suppose to only be seasonal. Toys R us ended at the beginning of Jan. and Cabelas would have ended around that time too, but they kept him on. Thank goodness. He has only been working part-time there for the past month & we've been getting by. HARDLY. Another guy that is working there is going to be switching to just weekends so more hours will be available. He is still looking around though. As everyone knows our truck broke down RIGHT AFTER we got our car fixed and we still haven't gotten it fixed because Nathan's brother is pretty sure its the fuel pump. The funny thing is if it is the fuel pump that just got replaced about a year ago so if it is that hopefully it is still under warranty. We will know soon. Now that we got our tax return filed we can start searching for a bigger place. We are most likely going to have room-mate so we can save more money & have more money. Not sure if we are going to stay in Olympia or move to Lacey. We will know soon, it just depends on Nathans job situation. My job is in Lacey, but we both plan on going to college so that is also another factor. And it also depends what best deals we can find. Our car is on her last leg... we are really hoping she keeps running until we get the truck fixed or buy another vehicle. (knock on wood) My job is going great. I've been working for them for a year now, they are just like another family to me. We've all grown really close. It pretty amazing that I can do something that I enjoy & work for people that I have grown close to BUUUUUT still get paid to do it. Ha.

Now family updates. Nathans brother Mike got married last week. They are the prefect couple and needless to say their wedding was amazing. We had a great time. She has two younger boys, so nathans family went from 2 kids to 4. Plus Nathans brother Josh just had another son, Elijah a few days ago. Plus our baby so their family is going from 2 kids to 6 in just a few months. And there is only one girl. Isn't that CRAZY? My nieces and nephews are all getting so big. It's so crazy how fast they grow & do new things. Hopefully with our son time will go by a little slower. Madison and Jorden's first birthdays will be right around the time our baby is born. SO crazy that they will be one. AHHHH! But, anyway, everyone is good!

Our baby update: In all this craziness we have been trying to find the PREFECT name for our son. We have a few ideas, but nothing is for sure yet. But the baby is perfectly healthy & he is REALLY active. Nathan feels him move all the time. I love it when Nathan feels him move, it puts a smile on my face. Plus Nathan always says the funniest things which always makes me smile anyway. We are both getting really excited for him to arrive. Even though I am getting fat (lol) and my back, feet, ribs and all sorts of body parts hurt all the time and this horrible acid reflex I am still really excited and I love this baby. I wouldn't change this for the world and I would do it again!
