New with us

Hey there everyone. Well we are living in Pullman, WA now. David is attending WSU majoring in computer science. I'm still studying medical transcription trying to get my classes done before my time runs out so I don't have to purchase another extension.

The girl's are doing great. Amara just turned 2 and Ilyana is just about 4 months and finally sleeping through the night. We've started trying to potty train Amara, it's a rough go right now but we'll just have to be persistent. We've also started some speech therapy for her in hopes to get her talking so we can understand her. Right now she just points and say "ah" when she wants something, or drags to where she wants. We have an appointment on Tuesday to get Ilyana's hearing aids. She's got a little bit of a hearing loss in both ears so we are doing the hearing aids so she has the best chance possible to develop to her full potential.

Things are a little rough for us right now, but we are trying to think of ways to make it better. We'll just keep paying our tithing and figure out some way to get out of this rut.

Holidays are coming up and we'll probably be spending Thanksgiving with David's sister Amy up in Spokane. And hopefully be spending Christmas back West with our families. Depends on how bad the pass is this year. Well that's all for now, I'll blog more later.

New with us

Well I'm a serious slacker. I'm really bad about blogging. Pretty good about updating Facebook but suck at blogging.

So a lot has happened in the last 6 months. David got out of the Marines, we're living with his parents in McCleary until we leave next month for Pullman for him to attend WSU, I had my baby, Ilyana Hope born July 8th at 2:25 p.m. weighing 5 lbs 13 oz and 17 inches long. We're slowly adjusting to having 2 children, it's a little tough right now with the sleepless nights and all, but I know it will get better. Ilyana is having a tough time right now during the night but I know it won't be that way forever.

I'm still doing classes for medical transcription. It's been on a stand still lately with me being so exhausted from the pregnancy and now the new baby. But again, it will get better. Well not much else going on with us. So later.

Hey everyone. Well I leave for home on Saturday. And I pick up my sister in law from the airport on Thursday. She's coming to fly back with me so I have some help with Amara.

Well some new things have happened. We got a big screen HDTV a Blue-ray player and a laptop. Oh and I also got a new cell phone. The Samsung Moment. It's touchscreen. It was a little hard and annoying to get used to at first but I'm getting the hang of it. It's got tons of cool features. The laptop we got mostly for me so I would have a way to do work if we're traveling and cause I've wanted one for forever.

Well enough about that. Oh and for anyone who has not watched an HDTV it's sooo cool. We turned on Heroes from Netflix the night we got, it was amazing!

Well not much going on. Trying to get laundry and some packing done today. So far so good.

Moving

So things have happened that is suddenly thrusting me into a rush to pack up as much of the house as possible as soon as possible. David just found out yesterday that he is being sent to the Olympics. Well actually he is being sent to Washington to be on standby at Whidbey Island for the Olympics. And he leaves February 3rd. I have a doctor's appointment that day. And my mom needs me here to have someone to drive her back from the hospital after her surgery, whenever that may be. So I'm going home sooner than originally planned. So much to plan and so little time. But we are going to be flying my sister in law over here to fly home with me so I have some help with Amara and the luggage.

So I'm coming home soon just don't know how soon. My mom is calling the Doctor on Monday to find out what's going on. So hopefully we'll know soon. This all crazy and frustrating.

Yada yada yada

Well I was bored and on the computer so I figured I'd post a blog.

Not much new. Well I'm pregnant. But anyone who reads this already knows that. So I'm 13 weeks now. Had my first appointment and ultrasound a week ago. We got hear the heartbeat as well. And thank goodness, there's only one baby in there. Phew! :)

Well let's see. Oh I'm losing weight instead of gaining it. But I have had a lot of, well I don't think I want to say that cause it would just gross you all out so I'll let you figure it out. Good news is it's gone now and hopefully I won't lose to much more weight. After all, I don't want to harm the baby.

So I don't remember what I've posted in past blogs so I'll just give you all an update of what's going on with my and my fam. So I'm in medical transcription classes again. But this is a much better school and one I'm sure you've all heard of, Career Step. I feel like I'm in a nursing class. Let's see, Amara has been walking for almost 2 months now. She's eating really well too. David will be out of the Marines soon, if they don't kick him out first for his weight problem. Long story, rather not go into it. I will be going back to Washington next month. We are leaving February 17th to take me home. David will be driving me and Amara home and then flying back to Maryland for the remainder of his time, whatever that may be. I'm going to try and get as much packing done as I can before I leave. Of course it would help if I wasn't so tired all the time. And if my daughter would stop waking me up at 6 o'clock in the morning. The headaches of being a parent. I'm sure all parents could agree with me right? If not then you suck. Not really, I still love you all.

Well that's about all that's new. Till next time.

Here's an updated picture of our family.
