Stress level just sky rocketed the past few days...
ONE:
I just want Hannah to be comfortable. With NO AC in our apartment we are all Dying and as her mom I am stressing out about her safety. That's all I think about all day. CONSTANTLY checking on her to make sure she's not getting too hot. It's stressful, and worrisome. ITS MISERABLE!!! The least they can do is give us AC, I'll pay my own internet or electric or something but SERIOUSLY give us AC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's almost rude to not supply AC. AND we pay the most out of all the other apartments in our complex!! UGH!!!!!!
TWO:
We can't find a place to live in our new town. NOTHING is available for our price range. It's more expensive to live there. So we tried to apply for subsidized housing…no luck. We worked too hard, so the government is punishing us.
THREE:
We have to live off student loans. No income. Good weight loss program I guess.
FOUR:
How on earth do you earn money as a stay at home mom?!?!
Apparently I'm doing a very bad job at my stay at home business so I'm looking into other options. If you have any other options let me know!!!
FIVE:
Trying to decide what materialistic things I can sell before we move to have a few bucks in our pocket.
SIX:
And there's Crazy stupid EXPENSIVE health Insurance that costs a million dollars!!
SEVEN:
We have to sell a few cars before we leave too!!
And pack.
And clean.
And find a rental truck.
And find a storage unit in our new town. (but all reviews online say do not use any storage units in our new town. SOOO……I might be having a VERY LARGE garage sale before we move.)
EIGHT:
NO FRIENDS in our new town. I'm pretty shy and bad at making friends.
I guess I need to do more service to keep me from stressing out too much and keep my humbled.
All Im worried about right now is finding a place to live and keeping Hannah cool in our current house.
Pray for me and for us!

June 2015
Boy life never settles down. you think 'oh after this big event in our lives then we will be able to relax a little and get organized and do the things that we have been waiting to do' Um… ya… nope!
We all say that. I say that. But sometimes you really do have to wait for something to happen in order to do some thing else. But sometimes you just have to take life as it is now and as it comes and enjoy it and keep living! THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOMETHING!! My husband has to keep reminding me that we have to live life and the life that we have or we will never get ANYTHING done! We/he has spoiled me for the first two years of our marriage, but now we have to crack down and live frugally and enjoy more of the little things in life and life with little Hannah :)
May and June have been crazy busy for us. Nothing spectacular or anything; just life. Life with Hannah is SO FUN! I can't imagine leaving her for the day to go back to work BUT I really miss work; the people the patients and all the adults and social skills I learned haha. I feel like being at home I have gotten dumber! haha. But I wouldn't trade it for anything!! :)
We have gone a few outings so far. In May we traveled to Pocatello for my nieces baby blessing. That was me and Hannah's first Sunday since she was born.
Then later that month we drove to Boise for Hannah's baby shower open house at my mom's (she slept THE WHOLE WAY!!) So Hannah got to meet a lot of people; well kind of she slept the whole time :)
The first part of June we traveled back to my mom's for a family reunion that my sister was in charge of. She had lots of fun things planned! We started at the Birds of Prey exhibit in South Boise. We saw lots of cool animals and learned lots of fun facts!
Saturday we held a baby shower for my sister in law due in August :) then we headed to the park for some fun in the sun and shade :) and had pizza for dinner! SAWEET! :) haha
Sunday Mike did a very nice job giving Hannah her baby blessing; in my parents ward since his parents wouldn't have to travel to far, coming from western WA and most of my family could be there, along with all of my grandparents :) It was a spiritual experience for all. I barely cried!! Mike sat down and said he had to take a big gulp to prevent tears :) Mike NEVER cries.
Monday we had a fun day swimming at a 'local' hot springs pool. (we had to drive about 45 minutes to get there).
And Tuesday we had the opportunity to do service. (My sister did an awesome job planning this one!) As a family we had the opportunity to prepare, make and serve lunch (hamburgers fresh off the grill) to the workers building the Meridian, ID temple. It's about one block from my parents house and we actually know the Senior missionary couple serving as the construction site manager. What a neat experience that was!!
I'd say we had a successful family reunion!!
Hannah turned TWO months old!!
Hannah and I participated in a fun Color run :) (she slept the whole time)
We had to say goodbye to our good friends; they are moving to Alaska to follow their dreams and won't be coming back, but every two years.
About two weeks ago Hannah had some of her 2 month shots and did AWESOME!!
Mike was driving his truck to work and on the way home it broke down on OUR exit on the off ramp! He was about a mile from home! We called AAA to the rescue!
And last weekend we drove to Boise stopped by parents house. We left Hannah with my parents for the day while we drove up and back from Moscow in one day. It was a fun, much needed little get-a-way for Mike and I :) Happy Fathers Day!
Hannah loves Sophie the giraffe! :)
And this weekend he is up in Salmon with his scouts on High Adventure :) He is one busy man!!
What a busy adventurous June we have had! And in the next 8 weeks it's going to get crazier! AHH!!
Packing, moving, driving/traveling to see family, moving in, schooling, exploring a BRAND NEW town! Oh boy!! Hannah is going to be SO glad when it's all over! Oh wait who am I kidding so am I!! But I am excited to spend time with family :)
Love
