Life Today

Once again I haven’t blogged in quite a while. I’ve actually written a couple of different posts but haven’t ever actually posted them. Sadly they all seem old and outdated so they probably won’t’ up ever getting posted. Oh well… that’s life I guess.

I wanna try something new with my blog though, I want to start posting several short posts rather than just a couple of long posts where I play catch up. I hope that by doing this I will not feel so intimidated and overwhelmed by posting things on my blog.  

Today I think I am just going to do a brief overview on life in general and how I am feeling.

A few things that are burdening me right now:

1.       Insurance and Doctors Bills - Trust me you don’t want me to go into a huge soap box speech on how I feel about this, so all I will simply say “GAH!!!!”

2.       Were still waiting to hear back from 3 Grad schools… summer is coming quick and so is my baby… I just wish I knew what our plan is going to be for this upcoming year.

3.       My back is really starting to bother me, both day and night regardless of if I am sitting, standing or laying down, which means I get uncomfortable a LOT!

4.       I know it’s dumb but I got a little depressed last Sunday when I found the start of my first stretch marks on my belly.  Until I found them on Sunday night I was hoping that I just had magical stretchy skin and I would be one of those lucky ducks who never got any… However that was not the case they just hid on the bottom of my belly where I can’t exactly see them very easily. :/

A Couple of things that help brighten my life

1.       Went to the doctor yesterday and everything still looks like it’s going really well! Everything is still right on Target!

2.       Ben graduates form ASU with his Bachelor’s Degree on May 4^th!! I am so proud of him!!!!

3.       My birthday is in 8 days. It will also be 2 years since Ben proposed. Goodness I can’t wait to spend the day with Ben and see what he has planned. He always plans such good surprises. J

4.       Benson should be here in just about 2 months or so.  Technically my due date is June 24^th, but he could come any time around that date and I’m hoping he’ll be here between the 16^th and 24^th.

5.       I’m done working!! Last Thursday was my last day at work. Although I planned on working a couple more weeks I didn’t mind leaving a little earlier. The only things I will really miss are the paychecks I didn’t end up earning. :/

6.       I love Benjamin he makes me happy! I am so grateful we have each other; I couldn’t imagine anyone better suited for me. He’s absolutely fantastic!  

Thanks for reading!
