ahhh so many things have happened since I last blogged. I knew I wasn't going to be good but I didn't know I was going to be this terrible at it haha So for the most part I'm a pretty private person so I kinda have a hard time posting everything that happens to my family and I as soon as it happens I like to do what I call "savor the moment" and just keep news to myself for a while. I hope that makes sense! I'm just trying to explain why i'm not the greatest blogger and never will be lol So some of the things that have happened are:
-Derek got a new job
-I got a new job
-We had Korver's first birthday party
-I turned 21
-Our house was "remodeled"
-We got a new car
(not in order!)
ummm i know more things have happened but those are just the ones I think of right now. So Derek now does hard rock drilling...not in utah! It's so hard to have him gone for so long (28 days) but after that he gets to be home for 2 weeks without having to work so it's really awesome to have him be home and be able to just relax and go on mini trips as a family! Derek being gone and the house being remodeled actually go hand in hand. I have to have something to keep me busy while derek's away so I focus on the house. We got our basement put back together by my wonderful daddy the first time he left, then retiled our kitchen floor the second time (again by my wonderful daddy), and this third time well, this time it's me who's getting remodeled! Don't get me wrong I don't think I'm fat, I actually have really good self esteem, but I really wanted to push myself to lose the last few pounds from the baby (since the baby is almost one! haha) and I did :) I lost 10 pounds but since it's working so well why not run with it right? So we'll see what happens I have 2 weeks left!
So I got a new job! I work 2 days a week babysitting a little girl Korver's age when Derek's away and I don't work when Derek is home. It's a perfect job! Korver loves playing with Emma and it makes me so happy he gets to socialize with someone his age especially since he's an only child and well let's just say he's VERY spoiled! haha I'll take the blame for that one!
So I also turned 21!!! Finally!!! It seemed like I was 20 forever!! Derek and I took a one night trip to wendover to celebrate and it wasn't as awesome as we thought it would be but we spent it together and that made it worth it. That was the first time I've ever left Korver for more than a few hours and I was a nervous wreck! Of course I left him with my mom who loves him more than anything and I knew he was in great hands but still you worry :) As stated before, he's very spoiled so he has weird things he does that i guess only a mother can do? haha well he didn't even cry the whole time he was there, and he ate all his food (that's usually the hard part with him), and he slept when he was supposed to and overall had a blast! So it was definitely a good experience for the both of us!
Korver's birthday party was awesome! It was Mickey Mouse Clubhouse themed and we had mickey games, mickey cookies, mickey decorations, and of course a mickey cake! He was of course late to his own party because he was down the street sleeping at my parents' house but when he came to the park he was so happy and excited to see everything. Derek and I baked everything at the party and we were pleased with the outcome! His actual birthday is next week and I'm planning on taking him to the circus so hopefully it happens! He's grown so much and I'm so proud of him and so excited for all the things he'll learn throughout his life but it's also really sad because my baby is gone :( But more on him later :)
So last but not least our new car!!!! Derek had wanted to get rid of my good ol' chevy impala for a long time but it just wasn't the right time. So right before he left for work again we went to the nissan lot and got an 09 pearly white nissan maxima :) It is for lack of better words OH SO SEXY!!!!! Seriously! I'm in love! It has everything I wanted in a car and this list might sound silly to some but oh well..*ipod jack *big trunck *air vent in the back seat *sun roof *lots of cup holders *manual and automatic *rims *tinted windows
so yes it's everything both Derek and I wanted and Korver hasn't complained so I think he likes it too :)
That's basically everything for now, I hope to blog more but I know it won't happen haha I'll try though!!!
Enjoy the following pictures :)
