Everything is different since I last posted so long ago. I never meant it to be so long between blogs but it just kind of happened... I never did get all the way to a year without a blog though so that is good I suppose.
September we went to Oregon which we always work so hard for, we had a beautiful trip and we came back and it was hard to adjust to being home. The holidays came and we had beautiful times with family and friends. I turned 25 which only seems significant because of the number it is... A quarter of a century it seems crazy how old and yet young it is at the same time. It was a bit of an odd transition for me.
2014 came and we made our plans and goals for the year. As with everyone we had so many dreams and goals which the path of life would end up betraying, and then of course we would receive a blessing we had at least for the time being given up on.
Our cat, Jack got sick and we almost lost him. In the end we had to take him for an emergency surgery in the middle of the night one Sunday and there were several hours when I didn't know if my little cat would be okay... Thankfully he came through it and today is just as silly and loving as he ever has been. I love both my cats so much.
We bought Tyson a new bike. He is such a dedicated rider, last year he even road to work every day all winter to save gas money to earn the new bike. His other bike was getting old and it is amazing having him on a less worn out safer bike.
When we found out we were expecting it was a huge blessing and shock. We had given up on that... At least for the time being. There had been complications making it seem like it may not be possible and so we had decided temporarily to stop focusing on it. Tyson and I had always been very pro adoption and overall we were both okay with the knowledge that it may one day come down to that but I will admit I had my times where I would look at Tyson and feel sad that I'd never have a chance to see a little one with his beautiful eyes or adorable smile.... So now that we are getting the opportunity to have a child with our DNA I pray that it looks a lot like Tyson so that he can have the stunning looks of the most amazing man I've ever met.
We ended up moving, which I hope is only a temporary thing and a step to buying our own home... Though I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much seeing as how life always changes the plans on me.
I've stopped working now, part of me thinks I should have worked a little longer but mostly I know being on my feet all day was getting too exhausting and it wasn't the best thing for me. Had I had a less physical job I'd have stayed longer but that is not how things went.
Over all compared to many I've had a pretty easy pregnancy, which is a huge blessing because I'm honestly not handling it all that well. I don't like being round and waddling.... And I miss my diet mt dew. Yes I know it seems petty and like I'm ungrateful which I don't mean to be I know this is a huge blessing, it will just be easier in a few months once I can move again.
So here I am trying my best to prepare for something I'm not sure I can ever really be prepared for, instead you just deal with what comes and I am extremely terrified and excited at the same time. I have plenty of fun hopes that with any luck will become reality and all I can do is hope that things go well and my little one enters the world safe and healthy. There are plenty of people here prepared to love him.
