3 years ago today was such a beautiful day, when I married the love of my life! I love even more today and I wouldn't trade the last 3 years for anything. I love you Trevor! Thank you for being in my life forever.

March 29, 2008
I was hardly able to sleep... I woke up extra early and went over to Emilee's house so she could do my hair. We talked, laughed, and wondered about what was coming. After I left Emilee's I went home to put on my make-up. I could hardly eat, but I knew I needed to eat something. After I was finally ready I loaded up the car. Soon me and Trevor were on our way. We talked and laughed on our ride. When we arrived we left each others side to go to our dressing rooms and change for the ceremony. We got all ready- got together again and waited for everyone to be seated. We talked with Grandpa Barlow, Jeff, Christy, and my mom while we waited. They left the room and soon so did we. We were going to change our lives forever!! The room was beautiful and filled with all our closest family and friends. My Grandpa Barlow performed the ceremony and it was great! Of course I cried... It was the happiest moment in my life! I just married my very best friend!

"Sounds like life to me"
Kelson has been so cranky lately... he got a fever over last weekend and when his fever dropped he ended up with a cold. So, I decided yesterday that I better take him to the doctor. I am so glad that I did. He has double ear infections (isn't ironic he got ear infections the month I paid off his tubes) and a throat infection. Poor little guy- no wonder he has been crying more than usual.
Kelson is getting so big/grown up and he is very naughty, but he is so much fun and brings so much joy into our home. He is starting to talk SO much. His vocabulary has grown tons in the last month or so. One of my favorite things that he has said "I na naughney (naughty)!"
I have been working a little more than usual lately, which is kinda nice for the money. Having a baby with crappy insurance is really expensive. I am almost to my 3rd and final trimester! I have been feeling pretty good. I unfortunately catch every cold that goes around. I have had some back and hip pain, but nothing I can't handle. I know all the pain and sickness is going to be well worth it! I'm getting really excited to know if a boy or girl will be joining the family. We can't agree on boy names, but if we have a girl her name will be Aubrey Ann or Roxie Lyn. The baby has been moving so much lately- it is so fun.
I got released from YW a few weeks ago, it was a small relief, but I am also very sad about it. Still no calling- but I'm not going to lie... it's kinda nice just having a break.
Things have pretty much been the same for Trevor, just working lots and playing/hunting when he gets a chance. He also got released from his calling (gospel essentials teacher) about a month and a half ago. He still doesn't have a calling either, although, he has become a substitute teacher for youth Sunday school classes.
As for the house situation... shortly after my last post- the house we have been looking at came back on the market as a foreclosure. We wrote up an offer on Mar. 14. We heard back from the bank on Mar. 22nd. They had counter-offered... higher than we hoped, but if we didn't accept it then we would be part of a multi-offer. Multi-offer meaning they take 3 offers and review them and decide which is the highest/best offer. So, as of now we accepted the offer! If before closing on the house we change our mind for some reason we will walk away. I don't imagine that happening. Because we accepted the counter-offer higher than we wanted to pay we probably won't be able to do all the fix-ups right away, but it was such a good deal we didn't want to pass it up. So now we are on the search for a great loan and interest rate, deep cleaning our house, and trying to find possible renters for our house.

The next 100 days...
180 days down, and only 100 days to go...
Most days I feel like this is the longest pregnancy in history... Every once in awhile I think about all the things I need/should do before the baby gets here, and I feel like I'm running out of time.
I mostly think about the house situation. I want something bigger, but not just anything bigger... I want 1 house in particular that we have been hoping to get since last June. We made an offer on this house when it was a short sale, and before they did anything with our offer the listing expired. The house went to the public auction- got postponed a few times and finally was sold back to the lender. Now this house that we still want is in "no-mans land" The lender has to assign an agent before the house can be put on the market or be able to accept offers. We have a Realtor contacting the lender weekly, but still no date available for offer. With this being the house situation I keep wondering how or where we are going to fit another baby and baby necessities in our tiny home. I really need to reorganize and buy lots of waterproof storage containers. So, my goals for before baby #2 gets here are: clean-out fabric scraps (I'm doing this by making scrap quilts... which is actually a really fun project), organize all the sewing and wood crafting things I own, deep clean Kelson's room and make room for all the necessities a new baby will need, deep clean my bedroom so the cradle/bassinet will fit in there, reorganize the laundry closet, reorganize the linen closet, buy a few more clothes for if it's a girl, and last but NOT least- come up with boy names that we actually both like. When I think about this list along with all the daily activities and some working days I feel like I'm running out of time.
