About Me

We have had this blog since 2009 now and I haven't wrote much in it. So this is just a blog about our life together as new parents. Matt and I worked together when a friend of ours set us up. We dated a week before we became engaged and in February 2012 we will celebrate our 3 year anniversary. Three days before our two year anniversary we welcomed our beautiful baby boy, Lucas Clint.

Missing Free Time and Introducing Soy

This last week was my first week back to working full-time and boy was it exhausting!!! I miss the time when i had days that I could actually get stuff done. For the last two week I've been needing to meet with the school advisor because i keep failing the entrance exam but i haven't had the time to do it. And who knows if I'll still be able to go when i first started trying to go back to school they had said that there were two spots available in the culinary arts program, who knows if there are anymore. I've been half tempted to call and find out but haven't for the fear that it would be full. So the last few weeks Luke hasn't been acting like himself. He's been really fussy and has just been acting like he sick. So my mom suggested that it could be his formula and it turns out that it is. On Thursday we switched him to soy formula and he seems a lot happier. There are a few problems with soy formula, first it smells nasty so i can imagine that it probably tastes the same but he devours it just the same. And second it is so expensive, its about $2 more then the regular formula. But honestly I don't care at least hes a lot happier then he was. Plus no more stuffy nose, he's had that ever since he first went to formula.
So Matt has been wanting to move and lets face it i do to. See when we first got married we were living in a nice two bedroom apartment in American Fork. But then in August 2009, Matt lost his job. We were able to stay in our apartment until January but then had to move into my in-laws basement. That grew tiresome so when my parents moved from Mona back to Orem we moved in with them. But it has been very hard on Matt and I living here. However with the mountain of doctor and hospital bills we really can't move. At least not until they are completely paid off. So Matt ended up applying for 2 A.G.R. job and 4 tech jobs with the National Guard and I really hope he gets one of them. He'll make at least double what he's making now plus he'll get full benefits starting the first day so i could get rid of mine. Please pray that he gets one of them!!!

Full-time??

So Matt and I have been decussing whether I should go back to full-time or not. With Luke being older now, its crazy how fast four months have flown, and with Matt's new job we'll be able to get a babysitter. However I don't know how I feel about it. I've enjoyed being able to spend time with my son without Matt being around. Matt never wants to do anything but stay home on his days off but Im the type of person that doesn't really like being at home all of the time. Another reason in the cons list is I'll hardly ever see Matt. On the days that he works 10 pm - 6 am I'll at least get three hours with him. But on the days that he works 2 pm - 10 pm he'll have already left by the time I get off work. We really don't want Luke to be raised by a babysitter but I guess its what we have to do. I mean with me going back to working full-time we will be able to pay off the medical bills a lot faster. This sucks! GRRR!

Creative Bug, and Return of the Headaches

With Matt starting his new job it has made me a little bored. And I'm afraid that to his dismay the creative bug is biting, and biting something fierce. The last time this happened it last a few weeks with making receiving blankets, burp cloths and a quilt for a diaper cake for my new niece. Now since going to Hobby Lobby (i absolutely love that store!!!) with Bekah on Saturday and getting a whole bunch of project idea sheets I really want to make something. I just can't decide what to make!!! I really hate Matt's new job especially his commute and is graveyard shift. Its really not worth it so I really hope he gets one of the A.G.R. jobs that he applied for. They aren't in his unit but the pay is good and he'll have active duty which means better benefits then we are getting with my job. Well the headaches are back with vengeance I can't take it. I'm so sick of having to take the medication that I've been taking because a lot of times they haven't worked. The vertigo part of the headaches have come dangerously close to starting back up again especially at work and with everything else I really can't afford to take any time off for them. I haven't told Matt because I know he'll say that its time to see a neurologist and I'm so sick of doctors. They seem to just give you the run around that way you never get better and thus fill their pockets. Hopefully they will stop on their own.
