So.... it has been like a year and a half since I have posted, yes i am a little behind and very lazy. I can honestly say that our life has changed alot since our last post. To begin: Last January my parents came to us and told us that they wanted to move to St. George permanantly and if we wanted to buy their house. Only thinking of thwe house aspect we jumped on the oppertunity. It took us 3 months to sell our house and at the end of April we moved into our new house. Sad to say that we sold our house to a lady that i referr to as "HAG", that has pulled out all our yard bushes and trees, painted the inside of our beautiful house a grandma pick and put up doilee curtains. Moving into my childhood house was a little weird at first, but it was remodeled in the last 2 years and we have done something in every room to make it ours. It is no longer my parents house. Adjusting to having them gone has been very hard. We try to go back and forth every other month, but that doesnt make up for the stopping by to say hi, going out to lunch, coming over for dinner, going golfing or losing our only sitter. I can honestly say it has been one of the hardest thing for me to adjust to. Even harder being the only child and not really having anybody else. But it makes it so much more fun when we do get to see them, and I love going down to the warm weather for a free vacation!
In July to our surprise we found out we were pregnant. For those of you that know us, we had a failed IVF 2 years ago, and last March were told by Pats Dr that we medically could not have any more children. We resined ourselves to that, sold all the baby stuff and started planning our life with our 2 beautiful girls. Apparently you cant always beleive what a dr says to you. We are so happy to say that we are adding another little girl to our bunch and are very excited about it. Everyone keeps asking if we are going to try for a boy, but it takes us on average 3 years to get pregnant if we are lucky, i am 32 so that would make me like 36 before I even got pregnant again. We feel very lucky to have been blessed for some reason with this one. So sad to say, I am getting snipped, very hard decision, but I dont thing I could handle a nother surprise.
In November we got the news that one of our best friends had passed away. It was a very difficult time for all of us in our little group. It really made you look at your own life and the time that you need to spend with your family.
In December they found some melanomas on my mom and we discovered that she had skin cancer. In removing one of the melanomas on her leg she, it got very infected with an infection like flesh eating disease. She has spent several weeks in the hospital and a couple of surgeries to get it taken care of but she is getting better. She is still doing test for the cancer on her organs, but we can only keep our fingers crossed and be optamistic. It has been very hard because she is far away and I can just see her and hug her. Having this and the pregnancy and not having her here has been so difficult. I feel very alone alot, but am lucky that i do have a good friend that I can lean on and talk to.
Pat and the girls are very ready for the baby, Danica calls it her baby, but I am not sure I am ready. It took alot to adjust to nowing I wasnt going to have another baby and alot to adjust to having another baby. I am looking forward to Pat being a dad again and my girls being big sisters, but a little apprehensive of the change in our little family. You get in a grove, then things change but only for the better. Looking forward to this next chapter in our lives.
