What Is New

So there are some new things around this house! First thing is Dad is remodeling again and has torn out the wall that separated the old bathroom and his bedroom. He has now moved on to the floor so we can see down under the house! The end result will be nice I am sure, I am just not a fan of the construction process! There is a nice sized jacuzzi tub that will be going into this new bathroom so that will be exciting!

Nothing new with Jonathan other than he got some new wells that sometimes cause him to have to work overtime so he is complaining!

Nathan is still looking for work but having no luck in finding anything. He is eating! He does work for Jonathan and Dad since he can't find a regular job on day's when he is here, other day's he is spending time with friends.

David moved back in a few day's ago. Dad got a cell phone booster so he can talk to Miranda on the phone! he was also getting tired of living down at Dax's house. He is eating good now. I heard him on the phone saying that there was never any food at Dax's house but here there is always food!! At least he will enjoy something about being here since the booster is not yet working!

Samuel is going to school, not working though. He will do the things that is asked of him to do, mostly if it involves tearing apart things!! He is having to bring in coal again since it has gotten cold here and he takes the trash out for me since I can't lift it! He has started as of today going to a missionary prep class before school. It is every Tuesday.

Ashley got a job!! She is been training at Hot Stuff down town for the last 3 days. Today will be her last day of training. If you are not aware, this is the same place that Adrian was working at before going into the Army. He made the call to his old boss there and put in a good word for Ashley. She is liking it thus far but then training isn't the hard part!! I only have one rule and that is that she can not allow her grades to drop. Her education is far more important that a part time job and in my opinion, when in high school, a job is a privilege. She will mostly be working only on the weekends unless someone calls in sick and there is no other person that can work. Donna (the boss) is in agreement with me about the grade thing and she remembers that I had the same rule with Adrian! She is a nice lady! Ashley will start back to seeing a counselor soon over in Price, she needs someone to talk to about her issues and does not trust that me as a parent will work. I think that she feels that she will be judged even though I have said that is not what I am here for. Whatever the best thing is for her is what I want so if that is not talking to me then so be it!

Adrian will be home soon!! He will be graduating from his job training on the 22ND of this month and should be flying home that same day! He hasn't given the exact date of his arrival yet, just what his guesstimate is!! When he gets here he will be staying for 26 to 28 days before he is shipped off to Germany. He is not sure how long he will be there but is assuming it will be at least a year. He has taken all the leave he has built up and that is why he will have the length of time home that he will. He decided to do it that way so that he can be here when Rebecca is born. I was on the phone with him the other day and he had me get a paper and pen. What he was doing was giving me the list of food items he wants prepare for him when he comes home! He is missing my food and calls at dinner time just to see what we had as apposed to what he had. He usually says that we suck!

And then there is Kevin and I. We had our first day of therapy yesterday in Price. Some of it went OK. Kevin had complaints that until I explained my side of she was concerned about. In the end he was told that some of the things that he was complaining about were things that he shouldn't be worried about because they don't concern him even. He was also told that he was very wrong in the way that he treats Ashley. He did not want to hear that at all and was a little bit argumentative with her about it. As far as the issues that I am having with thing's, we did not make it to any of those. Kevin doesn't want to go back but said that he will if she thinks that it would help things. We have another session set for the 19Th of this month. I think he expected it to all be fixed in one session and then it was done. The way things are with us now, it will take many many sessions just to express the problems and then many more to reach compromises. I guess we will see how things go.
I went to two of the non stress tests over at the hospital thus far. My next one is set for Thursday. As of right now things are good. Rebecca moves good and the fluid levels are very good so I have been released each time. I am hoping that she is just a small baby and that we can get as close to term as possible! A positive to having to go over twice a week is that I get an ultrasound done each time so I get to see her! One bad thing is that the placenta is still down so we are still looking at a c-section. I am not happy about that but I guess it is what it is. Oh and I also have discovered that I am getting stretch marks on my belly button! That is not cool but I guess it means that my belly is growing so that could be a good sign!

That is all that is new. I will continue to keep everyone posted!

It sounds like things there are as busy as ever!

I'm not a big fan of construction projects either. I keep wishing Extreme Home Makeover would just show up one day and send us on a week long trip someplace then we can come home and have a whole new house! If only...

Good luck to Ashley on the new job! Having a bit of income is such a nice thing at that age.

And good luck with the continued counseling...I really hope it helps you both.

It must be a genetic thing, the stretch marks on the belly button. I don't know anyone else who has the same thing except our family. Welcome to the club! Hope all your appointments go well.

Don't even get me started on stretch marks. I have enough for ten pregnant women.

Sounds like things are busy but good. Thanks for the update! Keep us posted!

So will the jacuzzi tub be in the master bathroom off Dad's room or in the one off the hallway across from David's room?
