finally

This is a really short random post for me, but I was really excited about this! So after about a month and a half of being without a camera (which I must say is really really hard for me because I love taking pictures of our family, especially Easton who is growing and doing new things everyday!) we finally found one that we liked a lot! We splurged a little, but we take pictures all the time, so why not have a nice camera to take good ones! We purchased a Canon powershot 12.1 megapixel digital (I know some of you are probably like well my camera is nicer...but this is the first 'nice' camera for Ty and I!)
I'm the one that broke our...I mean Ty's old camera because I was forgetful and left it on the back of the car after we had gone on a hike, after hearing a thump we saw it flying across the road and stopped to find the batteries in one place on the road and the camera still in the case but broken on the side of the road. Oops! Well goodbye old camera, and hello new one!

Starting To Feel Anxious!

After our last doctors appointment on Friday and hearing that I haven't made any progress on my own, Tyler and I started to get a little more anxious on weither we were going to be ready to have him Thursday (my inducement date) or not. We've got input from so many people on tricks that helped them move the process a little faster, so we've been trying everything...even if they are wise tales I'm willing to try them!

One was fourwheeling, which I didn't mind because the mountains are so pretty right now! We went up to Brighton the weekend before and walked around Silver Lake and took lots of pretty pictures.

So this last Sunday after church we decided to go up American Fork Canyon. We drove up to Tibble Fork Reservoir and saw that once you go beyond it, it is unpaved and figured that with all the bumps it might do the trick. So we ended up off-roading about 10 miles up the canyon, and wheither the bumps helped to dialate me or not I really enjoyed the scenery! I love love love fall and wish it lasted longer!


I absolutely love taking drives up the canyons and enjoying the beauty of it, but it makes me sad to see how many people take advantage of it and throw their trash everywhere!

Anyways I hope to get more positive feedback from the doc. tomorrow! Wish me luck!

Update.

Just to fill you in on what has been going on lately. Tyler and I have been town home hunting, and it has been pretty successful so far! We really like a couple that are in West Jordan, and are contemplating on making an offer on one! I really like it a lot, and can really see us living there! I especially like the fact that the people who are living there now painted it very cute and re-carpeted! We are still narrowing our choices down, and might go out again next week, but hope to have something picked out by next month!

As for me I'm doing pretty good. My kidney infection started coming back again for the third time...so annoying! It is pretty painful when it is first coming on, just a constant stinging pain on my right lower back, whether I'm standing, walking, sitting, or laying. But once I take some Tylenol it goes away for a little bit. So once again I had to go take another culture, and was prescribed an antibiotic that is this huge horse pill! It takes my body a day or two to get used to it and I usually throw up the first day or so. It's no fun, but at least it's trying to keep me healthy, and it doesn't harm the baby. I just keep asking myself, why does it keep coming back, and how many times am I going to have to go through this before he is born? The only thing I can keep telling myself is at least I can catch the symptoms before it comes on too strong, and I haven't had to stay in the hospital for a long time like the first time! Thank heavens! Only 7 more weeks to go!

Pet/House Sitting

So for the past 8 days Tyler and I stayed at my aunt and uncles house in South Jordan and watched their dog and my cousins dog, and some fish in their pond, while they were on vacation. Seems like a pretty easy job right...well it kinda was except for the fact that their dog, Jasmine, is getting really old to the point where every step she takes seems painful. So we had to have a lot of patience with her. And the other dog is a beautiful but high maintenance Great Dane named Diesel.

The reason I say high maintenance is because she has an eye condition right now and requires eyedrops every morning and night, she sleeps right next to the bed, and she's a pretty picky eater. But she is really such a lovable dog and is so much fun to play with, I can see why my cousin treats her like a child. The tough part about the whole thing was making it through the night without having to get up and let one of them outside to go to the bathroom. It made for one sleepless week. We had a good time with the animals, were able to catch up on a lot of movies, and successfully non of the animals died, but thats a whole other story! Ha!
