Change: to become altered or modified

Where do I even begin? I feel this specific definition of change is not quite suitable for what is going on in our life. In brief, almost everything I planned for for our life in Arizona is no longer existent. A lot has changed in a very brief period of time and I am learning that I just have to accept some things that I can't really control. I guess, like with most things, we just have to have faith that someone much greater and much more knowledgeable has everything in His control so I don't have to. He knows what is best and what we need--I just need to be more trusting.

One of the upcoming changes is.....

Yes, it's true... Josh will be starting helicopter pilot school very soon. We went to do some research at one of the schools in the area and I've never seen Josh so excited about doing anything else. He was like a little kid staring at all the cool toys through the toy store window. I thought I was going to have to carry him out of the place when it was time to leave.

As for me...my growing prego belly keeps me preoccupied. I can't wait to find out if we are having a boy or a girl so all my planning and dreaming can become a reality. I realized today that I am a little over half way through my pregnancy. It is flying by so fast.

I am working on getting some more pictures to post of our recent adventures...so stay tuned!

Last night while in bed I thought of something totally great to blog about...but now I can't remember. So instead I'm going to clarify something from my last post that someone mentioned was a bit, well, I guess confusing. Josh and I are stoked for the coming of our baby in October. We are not, however, ready to have a million kids right now. Anyways....

Josh and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary. Since we are in different states we had to just send stuff to eachother. Josh sent me a dozen beautiful roses. Why can't flowers last longer?!? Cinco de Mayo has now passed as well. My family went out to dinner to celebrate--it was mostly mexican food. We celebrated mother's day at my sister's house out in Queen Creek. We played the Wii and ate more delicious food.

Speaking of the Wii... on Ellen yesterday she gave away a new game called EA Sports Active--I totally want it! It comes out May 19th

I am starting a new project...making a headboard. I am looking for fabric now, but I am leaning towards a sage/olive greenish color. I am excited to see how it turns out!

House hunting...what can I say...it's no fun. After one day of looking I am already confused on which one to pick and I have a long list of places still to look at. Hopefully, I'll be able to narrow the list down somehow. It has been great to be in Arizona with my family. I'm going back up to Utah in 13 days to get Josh!....and yes I am counting down. It hasn't even been a week yet and I miss him sooooo much! I've tried to keep busy so I don't think about how much I miss him. On Tuesday I went to watch my niece Adyson play some soccer. She is quite good against the group of boys she plays with. Wednesday I ran some errands with my sister Katrina. After being with her two little boys for the day I am convinced I'm only having one child. They are the cutest little guys but it's just not for me...right now anyways. Yesterday was my day of looking for a place to live and today will be another long day doing the same thing.

Oh, I didn't even post about graduation! It was great. The only thing I had a rough time with was...my shoes. They tell you to wear low/flat shoes for a reason. Not only did I wear super high wedges, but I had just bought them so I hadn't really broken them in. Josh said it was worth it because they looked so great, but I'm the one still suffering from a massive blister on my toe. The speakers at Commencement were great! I got to sit in the fourth row so I had a great view. While we were walking from the ASB parking lot through the tunnel into the Marriot Center we walked pass all the professors and administrators and speakers. A friend in front of my had looked over to Elder Nelson and waved. I was curious who she waved to so I looked back and he was waving back so I smiled and he smiled back with what seemed to be a slight giggle. Haha. After commencement we went and ate at The Outback. It was delicious!!!! The next day we had our college convocation...that was good too. Katrina made a necklace out of money for me to wear. It was for sure a head turner. Everyone looked at me...probably wishing they had one too. I received a lot of comments about it, so thanks family for the money necklace. Afterwards they served BYU brownies and milk...couldn't pass those up. After snacks we went to Macaroni Grill for another delicious meal. Thank you so much for everyone who came and for everyone who has supported me.
