When will it leave!!

This year in Rexburg, has been crazy. Brandon learned in class that this year had the longest strech they havee ver had of the outside tempurature never coming above freezing and the most snow they recieved in fourty years. With only one car, Brandon and i had to switch off who was able to use the car. Brandon had to get to the school every morning by 7:30am and i had to be a work at 8am. Since I could not bring myself to get up at 7am to get ready to take him to school i decided to just walk(during the summer i rode my bike) the half mile to the sinclair station. With the mass amounts of snow and being pregnant i decided that walking would be safest, well so i thought. In rexburg they are not so great about plowing the roads and shoveling the sidewalks. Once i walked down Trejo Street, where their are sidewalks, i have to cross a VERY busy street, Yellowstone Highway! I would be terrified to walk across in fear i would fall and an on coming car would not be able to stop in time on ice roads. I walked through snow up to my knees and the Call family just were amazed when i would walk into work with a red face and snow everywhere. Now that i am finished working and now longer have to trek through the snow every morning, i wonder to myself when is it going to melt?!? With a month until the baby comes i have noticed that there are still alot of snow all over. I would love to bring our little guy home without snow on the ground but i am thinking that it may be around until we move. We want so bad to be able to go outside but there is just snow everywhere. The locals here say that all the snow has allwayed melted before April General Conference but everyone is afraid that if the snow melts to fast we could definately have a flood on our hands but no need to worry, we live on the second floor!!!

Life constantly changing!

Well with our married ward splitting, Brandon and i were released as sunday school teachers (which broke Brandons heart, he loved that calling) and Brandon was put in as the second councelor in the Elders Quorum Presidency. He was really nervous about it but is starting to get excited. My last day at sincair is saturday February 23! i am really excited for that it will be nice not to have to work 8am-6pm everyday but i hope that i dont drive brandon crazy at home! His classes are going great, he has finished 9 of his 25 credits now so things are not as stressful but he is still constantly busy and since they are almost all online he is constantly home. I am starting to get pretty antsy(if that is how you spell it) to get this baby out of me but am actually loving being pregnant at the moment he is constantly kicking and moving and when brandon talks to him he will kick right at him, brandon is really enjoying it more then i ever thought! Mom and Kari are throwing me a baby shower on March 1. I hope that i have enough friends to come, that is always a worry i have so i hope it turns out great. Brandon and me are heading down to Utah March 2 to watch a JAZZ game! Brandon and his dad get to go to a box suite so he is counting down the days til the game and for me and Brandons mom we are heading shopping for baby stuff which i am so excited for! Hope we find some cute stuff because i am running out of time to get things ready!

A New Year!

With the new year beginning, we are becoming so excited for the upcoming events of the year. As we are waiting the arrival of our little boy we were glad when the day after Christmas our little guy decided he was not ready to come out yet when we had a little scare when i was taken to the hospital for abdominal pain. As i was taken to labor and delivery of Madison Memorial Hospital (five months along) nurses were asking if i had our car seat and if i wanted an epidural if it came to that. Panicking test were run and come to find out it was not contractions and the baby was fine but i did have kidney stone which i finally found and is now in a cup waiting to go to the lab. We were more then blessed to know that the pregnancy was going on as planned and we would soon have him with us but gratefully not yet. I go in for my normal appointment next week.
Brandon on the other hand is working hard on school already. He has almost finished one of his online humanities test and is working on another class right now which we are really excited about. We can wait for him to finish up school this year and we are excited to see where the Lord will put us after school is done. This Christmas he got packman, mappy, the race car game system and has been playing every second he can! He is getting really good with the help of the Carters on all of the winning techniques. Other than that we are just loving the chance to spend some time together without school which has never happened for us!
