Well I hope you read the previous post because you could learn A LOT about me :)
I'm not usually a public person about my life in that sense so I hope you enjoyed it! :)

As I sit here, it's 7:30pm.  My daughter fell asleep about 30 minutes ago and I don't know what to do! This is early for her! So much I want to do. So much time. What should I start with?!?!

I am reflecting on my past:
Being a newlywed and traveling all the time. I LOVED IT! Not to say I don't love my life right bow because I do. It's just a fun memory I have of my husband and I traveling together all over the world :)  I can't wait to make future memories with little miss :)
I miss working. I miss the office I worked at for so long.  They became my second family and I adore them so much! I'm itching to go back to work; maybe one or two days a week.  But knowing what to do with little miss is hard.  I miss the amazing patients. The amazing parents.  The amazing community. And my amazing co workers and boss[es]. I miss talking to them and getting to know their own families.  I don't know/think they miss me as much.  Sadly.
I also miss visiting my sister like twelve times a week, just because :)

I am reflecting on the present:
Moscow, ID is actually pretty amazing itself! I know I had a huge long post about hating it and wanting to leave but I have learned that I actually really love it! I never thought I would say that only two months into the move. So yes, I'm eating my words and regretting that post; just a little bit haha.
My hubby LOVES school; which is HUGE and SO IMPORTANT!! BUT it's really hard on little miss and I. We HARDLY see him. And when we do he is needing to catch up on sleep or hurry in and out the door for the next thing. He is working so hard and I can't imagine how draining and stressful it is, and how much reading is involved! I would NEVER survive all that reading! And being called on in class, That's just not my thing haha. But he loves school and is learning so much! He is soaking it all in! I have made some good friends here and am starting to get to know more people so little miss and I are surviving, barely haha. We like to go on walks with our friend (who's husband is also in school with my hubby) with her little girl.  We find a different walking trail every time. It's a lot of fun! I am trying to find some fun crafts to do to fill my time when I'm not doing the normal daily routine mommy wife stuff :) The ward keeps us busy with play dates, bunco night, girls night, VTing, and ward activities :)
Little miss is growing up SO fast!! I wish I could just run her over to my mom's or sisters to show her off and all the fun cute things she is doing :) But they live HOURS away :( sadly :(

I am reflecting on the future:
How will we be different when he is done with the first year of grad school? second year? graduation?! How will little miss be different?! will there be another little one? how will I look? (as I am obvisouly getting really old!) How will the hubby be different? What will he look like? He is slowly losing weight and getting smarter :)
Where will we be living? Will we be in an apartment forever? What will our house look like? Will we ever pay off these school loans?? How will I be different? Head full of grey? thinner? thicker? Pregnant? more organized? working? How will my business have grown?
So many wonders and questions.
BUT
I'm enjoying the moment we are here. Making friends. Learning about Moscow. Trying new things. Learning new things. Exploring. Having fun and just enjoying the moment :)

Couldn't have asked for a better experience.  I love new adventures :)

Thanks honey for all your hard work and for letting me a mom :)

Love,
The Dukes


                                          A great day trying on our winter clothes :)

This year was the big 3-0 and kind of depressing that I have to say that number. But I don't feel that old.  And don't feel like I look that old.

The Palouse Paradise Trail follows this old railroad

We found some hats and were trying them on.  Of course the zebra one I missed her smile. 

Just enjoying the mom moments.  

She has never laid her head on my shoulder like this :) 

It melted my heart and assured me that this is what it's all about and to let her know you care and love her.  So we hung out for a little while letting chores wait :)

She is SIX whole months old already!
