This past week has been such a stressful one for me. Andrew is getting his 2 upper teeth, and it has been completely miserable. (I can't even imagine how the poor little guy is feeling). About a week ago I noticed that his top teeth were looking a bit bulgy, and like they were about to make their appearance. With Andrews 2 bottom teeth, he got a little bit of a rash, and cried for about a day, but that was IT. So seeing the top teeth on their way, didn't make me very nervous. And OH BOY, WAS I IN FOR A TREAT.
On Sunday, I kid you not, Andrew pooped 18 times. EIGHTEEN TIMES. Yes, I counted. Poor little boy was so sick. He had a bit of a fever, and he also had an ear ache. He kept sticking his finger in his ear, and would cry. :( It was such a terrible day. He still hasn't felt very great, so I'm hoping these naughty little teeth pop soon.
Other than having a sick baby, we haven't had a whole lot going on. Steven is just keeping busy working, and I'm keeping busy with school. I only have a few more assignments left in my classes, and a couple finals and then I'm done with summer semester. As convenient as online classes are, I really miss USU campus. I miss going to class, and just being in Logan, period. I have been pretty homesick lately, and hope and pray that Steven can find another job that puts us closer to family.
St. George has been a fun and good change. It's been good to kind of live on my own, and know what that's like. Living in Logan I was at my parents house daily. So being down south has made my life a lot different, and a lot more lonely. I miss Logan so much. I miss just being able to see my family whenever I want, and spending time with them. It also makes me really sad that my family is missing so much of Andrew growing up. There are so many fun milestones that he hits, and I feel so sad when its only Steven and I, who ever get to witness them. Skype just doesn't do the fun things justice!
As much as I love St. George, and the area we are living, I want so badly to just be home. I miss my furniture, I miss my bed, I miss just having my own place. I feel so homesick for everything. I think about potentially spending Christmas in St. George, and it breaks my heart! A Christmas with no snow? I have grown up with snow for 21 years, and to think that I might not get snow this year makes me even more sad.
I probably sound like such a whiney baby right now, but being far away from my life, and family has made me realize how important family is. Never take advantage of the time you get to spend with your family, because when you don't have it, it really hurts.
On a happy note, we are finally going to Logan next week! I am SO excited!! My cousin Brooke is getting married, so we're making the trip up for her wedding, and then celebrating Stevens birthday. So it should be super fun. Hopefully the weather cooperates, and allows us to go boating while we're there.
Anyway, sorry for the negative post.. just feeling a little homesick, that's all! :) Here are a few recent pics
