Staying Positive

 Well I’m sitting here in the room were staying in at my in-laws house trying to stay positive. I have left the state that I love, that has all of my best friends and the ward that James and have come to truly love. Idaho really was home for me, it’s where my heart will always stay. On top of having to leave there, I don’t have my own place to live and have to yet once again stay with my in-laws until James gets a job. Its one thing to have to do this, it’s another to have to do it when you’re pregnant and you’re ready to start nesting and make a home for your future babies. On the bright side James had a second interview this week that were feeling pretty confident he will end up getting, they’ve called his references and they don’t typically do that unless they’re considering hiring you.  On the down side, it will probably be a while till were able to move back into our house being we have to evict our renters. Like I said, trying to stay positive. I’m alive and healthy, I at least have a roof over my head and food to eat. I just keep repeating those things over and over again. I don’t know how long though they will keep me sustained. Not long I’m sure.

At least our drive from Idaho to Missouri went well. The weather was beautiful and our U-Haul truck could go 75 mph which is unheard of! So we ended up making better time than we thought. Even better our fairly large Subaru Legacy averaged 35 mpg for the whole trip which we were stoked about. For about 100 miles it was even getting 36. When you have to drive 1300 miles that makes a huge difference. I will say though by the end I was one sore pregnant lady. My feet and back were killing me. I am grateful that I at least wasn’t further along; I can only imagine how miserable that would have been. Oy vey.

As far as babies go, we were able to find out the gender of one of our little munchkins. Thing 2 is definitely a BOY! James is very excited about this. Thing 1 is still to be determined. At one angle it could be a boy, and at another it could be a girl. So we’ll just have to wait patiently another 4 weeks till it bakes and grows a little more. Everyone we know is pulling for a girl, I think they can sympathize with me and don’t want me to be outnumbered, especially with James counting as an obnoxious boy child that I have to take care of as well.

I guess that’s all to report for now. It always feels good to update/vent on this blog of mine. I’m definitely going to be doing a lot more of it being I will have a lot of spare time on my hands being trapped in this room for as long as were staying here.
