Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are...


Where have we been, you ask? And going crazy is the answer. These past few weeks have been filled with constant go go go. We have logged about 24+ hours in the car and have packed a lot of fun people into a short amount of time. As I mentioned in my last post we went to Utah last weekend and were able to see Jareds family. Before we left my uncle and cousin pulled into Las Vegas and stayed at our house while they went to the NASCAR rases. It was so much fun to see every one even though it was a quick trip.
Jareds mom came back to Las Vegas when we came back so we were able to spend a little bit more time with her which was nice. The rest of the week was filled with laundry, dishes, running errands and just trying to get home so we could get ready to head out to Arizona the next weekend. The long awaited "hearing" with my HOA finally happened (its a long story but lets just say I DO NOT like them!!) After jumping through many hoops they have finally erased the bogus fine they put on our account so I was very relieved and so happy to have it over with.
We were scheduled to leave to Arizona first thing on Friday morning to take my nephew to his baseball tournament but my body had different plans. On Thursday afternoon I started feeling a little yucky and by that night I wanted to die. I spent the night throwing up, with the chills, a fever and crying because I did not want to stay home alone sick but I also didnt know if I could make the drive. Friday morning I woke up to the sunshine and realized that I could move without wanting to run to the bathroom, thank heavens for the 24 hour bug, and jumped right into my neglected packing. We made it out of here a little late but we made it.
We spent the weekend with our friends the Wurtz. We met them right after we were married and have been friends ever since. We had so much fun spending time with them and have missed having them right next door. Cade and Brooklynn played and played. We also had a really great time watching Chandler play baseball, he played his heart out and did a great job.
So, there you have it, our craziness. We are now preparing to welcome the Mountain West Tournament to Las Vegas and cheer on our cougars.
I apologize for the lack of pictures and shortage of posts. Life has been busy but I have really spent most of it just trying to survive. I have been very lucky this pregnancy in that I have felt really good. I haven't been sick, I have been able to still go to the gym, and life has seemed to stay rather normal. However, these past few weeks my emotions and Cades "2 year oldness" have collided and collided hard. It is just crazy because I dont think that either one of us has quite the grip on reality that we would like to. So, I am hoping and praying that the time will soon come that I can wrap my mind, feelings and most of all my emotions around reality and just get a grip. So there is my deep dark secret, I am a closet basket case when I am pregnant. But I have to say that I am so thankful for my health and for this little baby getting ready to come to our home. So until next time keep your fingers crossed that I don't lose my mind.

You are the most beautiful, lovely, thoughtful, sweet, caring, patient, and WONDERFUL "basket case" I have ever known. Which means, you are not a basket case...just pregnant my dear. When ever you are feeling down just remember what a crazy depressed lady I was when I was pregnant with Millie and don't foget...the lunitic poop smearing twins! It can always be worse right? We are so blessed to have you in our family Lace. Thank you for being the angelic example of goodness. I really love you. This to shall pass and when it does we will have another baby in the family to ooohh and aahhh over. I can't wait. xoxoox

Let's loose our minds together! And then we can be roommates in an asylum (of our choosing, of course). Doesn't that sound like fun? I think so... hang in there Lace! *B
