First, we have made it to 22 weeks and couldn't be happier! I can feel her move quit often and Chris finally was able to feel her move too! We were both very excited, and I think that it is helping to make it seem more real to Chris. Before his only proof was a stick I peed on and my growing belly, but actually feeling her kick makes it all the more real!
Second, we made it to Cheyenne! It was a very long, cold, icy, slow drive from Rexburg to Cheyenne, but we made it. Our adventure began on Saturday Feb. 1. Chris made the drive over to my house and we packed up the "little" trailer and after some rest we took off towards our first destination.
Now, I'm not much of a football follower. I can watch a game, but I certainly don't know many teams and don't really care who wins, but I think that was the saddest game I have ever seen. Poor Broncos didn't even seem to be trying. The Seahawks were totally on there game though. I must say I loved the half time show! Bruno Mars did a great job and he sounded so good.
It was nice to get to Parma because we were able to stay there for two nights and spend some time with the in-laws. They are so great, and I love spending time with them. It will be fun to visit after our little girl makes it here. I'm sure she will love the horses, just like mom.
Parma was also great for Winston, because he got to run around and play in the snow/mud with the other dogs.
After saying our good-byes on Tuesday morning we made it to Rexburg just 5 hours later. Rexburg was by far the most stressful day. We had to unload the trailer and load up the big truck with all of our stuff from the storage unit and then our windshield wiper fluid froze and so we had to go get it blown out and then it seemed like it was just the longest day ever! We left later than planned and we ended up making our way through the Teton Pass in the dark. It was not fun, ad Jackson was freezing!
We made it there safely though, got some rest, and first thing in the morning we were up again and on the road headed for Cheyenne. Probably to coldest part of the whole drive. It got down to -20 along the way. Thankfully I was all bundled up with a blanket in a warm car. After 8 hours we made it to Cheyenne!
Third, Finding a place to live!!
After Chris went to work he talked to a couple of guys, we spent some time online searching and we decided to buy a house. It turned out to be easier, cheaper and better all around for us.
We found a house on Saturday. Spent the night thinking about it, went back to it on Sunday, after looking at some other houses and decided that it was the one!
We put in an offer, got shut down, countered, got accepted, and began the process of becoming homeowners! Two weeks later we are closing on the house and we will get the keys tomorrow! All very fast, but it was meant to be and we are very excited about it! I have already began to sketch out some ideas for the kitchen. It is the one room that we want to remodel. It will probably wait until next year, but it is fun to get down my ideas! Of course we are going to make it our own with paint and such and as we do I will post before and after pictures! First up is the babies room and hopefully that will be done next week.
All very exciting, and very busy! We have enjoyed being in Cheyenne, expect for the wind! Holy cow, I mean I was told about it wind, but it is worse that I expected. It is always blowing and it is always more than 20 mph! Not so good for the hair!
Finally, I hope to post again soon, as I am a week behind on the pregnancy pictures!
