Let's not beat around the bush.... TEXAS SUCKS! The humidity is KILLING me, the scenery sucks, and the storms scare the living hell out of you! You might just think i'm negative about it but I really don't think I am. This state is AWFUL! I remember always thinking "oh how I can't wait to move out of Utah, I hate the cold." Yeah no, you will NEVER hear me complain about Utah again. I want my GORGEOUS mountains back, I want the cool mountain breeze back, and I want to go hiking and see water falls and gorgeous flowers! The only thing you can see in the distance around you is water towers.... not so gorgeous. Lol.
In the month that we have been here we have had 2 Tornado warnings. One was not so bad but the one we had a couple of days ago scared all of us. All the Vivint wives thought for sure that we were going to have to grab kids and run to the basement. SUPER scary stuff. I hope and pray that we don't have to experience one while we are here.
As far as actually being out here, I am loving it. Sure I miss family (Like A LOT!) BUT my relationship with my husband has grown so much stronger. I honestly feel that we have both grown so much having to leave everything we cherish and love back in Utah and come out to Texas and start fresh. I am grateful that we chose to do this this summer because it has already taught us so much.
So... as you drive out here every block or so you see a church or two, and I have been telling Reed I am going crazy because I have yet to see an LDS church building. Well Ya'all a month into our journey we found one! It was the most beautiful thing I have seen since I have been out here. It honestly put a smile on my face! Now we just need to work on getting there on Sundays and everything will be great! So Reed works with a bunch of guys who are not LDS, and know nothing about being a latter day saint. But as they have been teasing Reed and Reed teasing back they have learned A LOT about our religion. Some things not so true.... like we can only make love in missionary position so that our children will grow up to be missionaries...... LOL, now this is only funny because 2-3 of the guys he works with believe him. But man, some of the questions that are asked about why we follow what the prophet says shock me. It is a WHOLE other world outside of Utah, and I don't like it AT ALL. I am so out of my comfort zone. ANYHOW, I cannot wait to get back to Utah in September!

Smuggling a basketball....
This basketball that I have smuggled is growing.... A lot! and moving A LOT!!!! and already weighs a whopping 6lbs and that was at last weeks check up at 35 weeks. Doc did an Ultrasound and said baby is DEFINITELY without a doubt a boy... LOL. But yes baby is already weighing in at 6lbs and doing great, and is in position to come into this crazy world. I am a little nervous to know what this sweet boy is going to weigh when he gets here.... Jace came at 38 weeks and weighed 7lbs 10 ounces, so hopefully he wont be any bigger then that. Doc said that pregnancies tend to all go about the same with childbirth so he is expecting me to go into labor between 38 and 39 weeks so we will see.UPDATES:
Total weight gain- 55 lbs(with Jace I gained 70) So far I am on track to deliver at the same weight I did with Jacer man.....
Cravings: Cheerios and bananas. Bananas and Buttercream, Rootbeer floats and Gum.
Mood: LOL. Bit***, SUPER Exhausted.
Nesting: I had a hard time excepting nesting here in Texas, I felt that I cound'nt nest here. I don't know why. But finally last week I put the crib together and got the clothes all folded and hung up and things started to go crazy inside me. I started getting really excited and felt that I can nest here and I am just so excited and can't wait to bring my baby boy home to this BEAUTIFUL home.
Jace and this is what he picked. The decision was a black and green design or this Graco Blue and Brown design and man was it a tough pick for him but he went with Blue and Brown and his mommy LOVES it!
Me: I feel like a beached whale that can't move! We live on the 3rd floor... which means 3 flights of stairs and one exhausted girl that HATES to go downstairs because I know im going to have to climb those stairs again. I have like 3 pairs of clothes that fit me and out here in Texas it is humid as hell and so the second I get inside the blinds get closed and I rip my clothes off! (Sorry if thats TMI) But hey the Hubs enjoys it! People tell me all the time how cute I look and how I don't look like I have gained 50 lbs.... I wish I felt it. I am seriously starting to get depressed about it all and I can't wait to get on a freakin treadmill!!!!

Beginning our Vivint journey.
Oh my land so many changes and craziness have happened already this summer.
Okay so middle of April Reed and I began our journey to Texas. But it was not an easy start. We intended to leave on a Thursday and so all day Wednesday I had gotten everything packed and ready to put on the trailer and get it all to storage as soon as Reed made it home from work. Well.... he was delayed at work till 6:30. So he hurried home and loaded the trailer and right before we were about to take off I called storage only to find out there closed at 8:00, so we thought we would get up early Thursday morning and make a load to storage before we hit the road. Yeah, well it ended up POURING that night! I woke up at 5:00 a.m. to the sound of cars driving in the rain, and I ran outside only to see all of my stuff wet! Lets just say I stood out in the rain and cried. It seriously seemed that if it was not one thing it was another delaying us. So Thursday we decided that there was no way we could leave with everything wet and we would leave Friday morning. So Thursday Reed headed out to a job that was only supposed to take a few hours and he was delayed and delayed and delayed all day at this job to where he got a not very nice phone call from his very exhausted prego wife that was pissed because storage closed in an hour and a half and I was not about to be delayed another day.... Lol. Well lets just say he got home quickly after that phone call and we made it to storage just in the nik of time. Friday morning we hit the road and had a great trip to Colorado where my hubby dropped me off at Nicoles house where I stayed two weeks and he headed out to begin his sales in Witchita Falls Texas. Not one week into him being there did I get a phone call from my poor sexy hubby crying telling me that he was working out and pulled something in his back and he couldn't move.... and he didn't know what to do. WORST FEELING EVER! My stomach dropped thinking how am I going to get to my husband and clearly there is no way that he can sell if his back is out so we are going to need to go back to Utah and figure things out...... So that was the plan, Reed would drive and get me and we would go back to Utah, so I start looking for apartments and scheduling Dr. appointments. Later around 10 p.m. Reed called me back in a much better mood and said "Babe, I got a preisthood blessing and I feel that the right thing to do is carry on and go to Texas." Instead of Reed being a sales man he is now a technician and is kicking butt at what he is doing! I am so grateful for Vivint and how much it has already changed our lives! It has been hard adjusting but I am LOVING it! We have a beautiful 3 bedroom apartment, and a pool! What more do we need?
