Preborn Pics of Emmy

Between never having been good at taking pics, being insanely busy, and having a hard time with this pregnancy; I have done a horrible job updating on Emmy! Here are a couple ultrasound pics. She has been doing really good ☺

Sheesh! Been a while...

I post VERY regularly on Facebook about our day to day things and usually save my blog for things more personal and discussions of my beliefs.

Some big things since I posted last:
- I got all A's and B's for my 1st year back at school!
- We are buying a house! We are currently waiting for it to be appraised. We should be moving in before February is done :)

"We will be tested, often to our limit. Yet all of us know or are assured that we will never be tested more than that which we can endure." - Robert D Hales

I have heard this quote many times but it registered with me very strongly as of late. We got hit HARD with trials a little while ago.
-The driver side window is off it's track and being held up with duct tape
-We have a tire needing to be refilled weekly
- We found out our much needed income tax return was going to be delayed this year because of cracking down on theft
-We were in the process of waiting to see if we were approved for our loan for the house
-Frustrations with my calling
-Current house we live in is OLD, and we had an influx of mice coming in and crapping in\on\around TONS of our stuff
-Bo changed his tax claims on his paychecks to all of us so his checks would be larger from now on (He didn't claim us all for a few years so our returns were larger), but there was a problem with the paperwork and we got LESS than usual for this month (It has been fixed)
-On top of all that, our furnace stopped working for a few hours (It was fixed quickly) but it was just the cockroach topping on my crap sundae

I started balling. I prayed "God, I am done! I know you don't try beyond where we are able but I am at my limit! Please ease some burdens!" I kid you not, within a couple of hours, our furnace was fixed (As stated above) and we found out we were approved for the loan! Burdens have been slowly easing since :)

I know our Heavenly Father is there, that He loves us, and listens to us. I don't now about any of you, but I hate being tested to my limit; even if it isn't past what I can handle. I know, though, that growth doesn't happen without some pushing.
