Job? Whats that?

I have been slowly looking for a job that is not stressful and easy for me to do. I have been going on craigslist for awhile now and sending resumes and just waiting for something to happen. I've had a couple of interviews with people for some kiosk jobs in the past couple of days. None of which seem to go anywhere. Then I got a call yesterday from a place called Beachwood Styles and she wanted me to go up to Sandy mall to interview with her. So I went up andtalked with her and she said she would call later today after her other interviews. So I left and went to Ikea to shop and just have fun. (I LOVE that place) As I am walking around she calls and says if you are still interested then you are hired. Of course I am still interested. So I went back to the mall just to learn some basic things so I can close down on friday. I am so relieved to finally have a job and bring in some extra money for things for Tristan and other things. I assume no one knows what Beachwood Styles is just like me at first. It is kinda like the Shade shirts but more variety and I believe a little bit less expensive. It will be good for me cuz I get paid 9.50 to sit on my butt and text, read or be on the internet. And of course help out when someone comes to buy. Come visit next time your at the Provo mall. It's by Hollister.

FINALLY! :-)

For those who have been keeping up I have been wanting John to move out of working with acid and also switch to days. Well he got a call today and his boss told him that he starts a day shift position tomorrow. Also he wont be working around acid as much as he was. I was beyond happy when he called and said I am now on day shift.

Random Thoughts

\Right now I am ABSOLUTLY in love with the mountains and the outdoors. The trees are so amazing and I love the many colors. We went up to Sundance and through Aspen Grove for a Sunday drive and to take some pictures. I was thinking that no one would be up there but of course I was wrong. It seemed like everyone and their grandma was up there. So many people from out of town and so many people paying more attention to the scenery then to driving. I tried my hardest to not get upset at these dumb people but it didn't really work. But as soon as we parked and I started down a trail to take pictures I was instantly happy and didn't even remember the bad, ignorant drivers. lol. While we were driving I looked at the beautiful trees and the sun and the rain falling and the colors and then said to John "I honestly don't understand how people can see all this and yet say there is NO God. How did this all just come about then?" Just makes you wonder what goes on in their heads. I just want to be up there everyday moving from park to park and just take as many pictures as I can and just be. This weekend we are driving down to St. George for the marathon which my two sister in laws are running. All I have to say is power to them. I can barely run a mile:) I was recently in Logan for the top of Utah marathon to give massages to the runners when they completed. While I was massaging I talked to a few of them and all I had to say was why? Why do you do it? Some of these people could barely walk. Some were cramping up way bad. Some were throwing up. I just don't get why you would wanna put yourself through that. I personally would rather sit at home and stare at my ceiling. But then again Im lazy.So power to those who run marathons and who do crazy things like that to your body.

20 down 20 to go!

I had my 20 week appointment today. While we were they we were able to make it positive that we are having a boy. We found out a couple of weeks ago and were waiting till today to make sure. The tech said all was well and he is a health baby. I am so very thankful that I am finally over the "morning sickness" and am able to live life without throwing up. I have been feeling occasional kicks from him. John keeps putting his hand and head on my belly to try and attempt to feel anything. The doctor told him today that he wont feel anything for about a month more and he wasnt too happy about that. It put a smile on my face though when we were getting the ultra sound and I looked over at him. The smile on his face was priceless. Kinda like the same smile I saw when I was walking down the isle on our wedding day. Different smile but still made me feel so amazing. Hes going to be a great dad. On another note my mom called the other day and said her friend maury from our old ward had an all-in-one bed including the mattress that her daughter barely used and will sell it to me for $40. For those who don't know those beds run from $150 and up and an extra $50 and above for the mattress. So I am very thankful she told my mom and my mom told me. Also Ryder insists on running across or jumping on my belly whenever I am not covering it. His idea of protecting me at night is to run and sit on my belly and bark at the door. I need to just tape a pillow around me whenever Im just sitting and maybe that will help. Hes such a little turd. Im going to be out numbered in a couple of months. I need another female in the house with me. Maybe another dog. :)
Sorry that the pictures are a little blurry. I tried.

And of course a picture of the "bump" that people want to see. Not really all that big still. My doctor is pregnant also and she told me she only wishes she looked like that.


There we have it. Last thing I have to say is I am once again very thankful for John. Especially his patience when I randomly start getting mad for no reason. Instead of fighting back he just stands back and waits till I cool off. I honestly could not have asked for anyone better. I wouldn't even be able to put up with myself. ha. John I love you!!!! :)

Until next time.

Joke

The other day my friend sent me an email and it was the following joke. I found it way funny and thought I would share it with the rest of you. Hopefully it makes you laugh as it did for me.


Sitting behind a couple of Sister Missionaries at a football game in Boston,
three men decided to badger the Sisters in an effort to get them to move.

In a very loud voice, the first guy said, 'I think I'm going to move to
Maine; there are only 100 Mormons living there.'

The second guy spoke up and said, 'I want to go to Vermont; there are only
50 Mormons living there.'

The third guy spoke up and said, 'I want to go to New Hampshire; there are
only 25 Mormons living there.'

One of the Sisters turned around and looked at the men. Calmly she said, 'Of
course, you could go to hell; there aren't any Mormons there.'

Frustration and other things

So Im finally at the point where I absolutley HATE John working nights and sleeping during the day. It seems like we never see eachother anymore. I honestly don't understand how woman can be married to men in the armed forces. They don't get to see them for months sometimes years. And I can barely get through the night. Power to those women. Maybe it's just the emotional part of the pregnancy because sometime I just wanna kill him and be away from him but then again I try and keep him from going to work at night. At least I have a dog right? If it weren't for Ryder I would never sleep and probably sit on my bed with a gun in my hand. He's my little protector even though a lizard could probably take him on. But at least it helps me sleep. John has been takling to the HR people at his work about new positions opening during the day so that he is not only away from acid but also home at night. It just seems like it's taking years to do so. I guess I need to learn how to be patient. Enough about that. How about a baby update? So we went in last week (16 weeks) for a gender check. It was so awesome to see my own baby. Words can't explain. It was finally a reality for me. I would post a picture but I don't have a scanner and it doesn't look good when I take a picture of it. After we looked at our little alien the tech asked if we should try and see what we are having. So we looked and so far it appears to be a boy. Although she said that baby could be a girl and she's just swollen. But we should know in like 3 weeks. So when we got out to the car John looked at me and said "I guess we have to start thinking about boy names." I just looked at him and said no. We already have a girl name and that was hard enough. But we have had that name for a while now. Before we found out I was pregnant. So yea. We have been looking but the ones I like the most John likes the least and vice versa. But we have a while togo so I guess we will keep thinking.

Update

So we have been back to the doctors twice now since last time. We went back at 12 weeks to hear the heartbeat, which by the way the baby was being a stinker and didnt want us to hear. The doctor would pick it up and not move and all of a sudden it was gone and we had to search again. When she was finally able to get it and keep it there it was so amazing to hear my baby's heartbeat. Then we went two days ago for our 14 week. And as they say 14 weeks is the magical week because the nausea is gone. Which I am beyond happy about. When we were there the doctor was listening to the heartbeat when all of a sudden some kid next door started screaming like someone was killing him. So it made both the doctor and I laugh and she explained that he was 9 and was gettting shots which he hates. But everytime he screamed we just couldn't help but laugh. It was so hard to actually focus and try and listen. When we were about to leave John asked if there was anyway we could get an ultra sound to see the baby and she said we would have to pay $25 for it. He's like thats not bad. Lets do it. So in another two weeks we go bad for that and in four weeks we go back for a normal check up.

Aslo the other day at John's work something went wrong with the acid and it blew up and fumes were everywhere. So Im at a friends and i get a picture of it and then a call and he says "I'm in the hospital but dont worry." Ok so when your husband calls and says that of course you worry. So he explained it all to me and said that he was brought in because they didnt no the exstent of the damage it could have caused. So I go to the hospital to see him and he's hooked up to iv's and an oxygen tube and they are checking him every hour to make sure he's ok. It was so scary for me. I just looked at him said glad your ok but I hate your job. Please try switching a.s.a.p. I felt so bad though because he had to be there till 9 am and I was way too tired to stay and so I left. And of course it took me a while to get to sleep and I had bad dreams about him being in there and really sucked. But Im glad to report that he is doing good. When he went to work the next day people were happy to see that he still had his arms and face. Apparently someone thought they got blown up. I love how people change stories. And I thank God that thats not the case at all.

I love my John and would not be the same if it werent for him. Hes The best thing to EVER happen to me.
