So here is an update on us
Travis
Started a new job a few months ago.
It’s going really well. It’s really different than what he did before but he
still works for Wells Fargo, which is nice because its actually a really great
company to work for! The thing I love most about his new job is he works from
home. He has his own office downstairs and it’s seriously just the nicest thing
ever. I love that when he is off he is already home and we can do stuff.
Before, it could be 7-8 pm before he was off work and actually home and now he
rarely has to work after 5. It’s been the biggest blessing. It also makes it
nice because my parents hardly watch the kids at all when I work. They probably
get watched 10 hours a week TOPS!! And usually more like 5-7.
He is playing softball this season,
which has been fun since he hasn’t really played consistently for a while. He
has been able to play golf pretty frequently this year and has done a few
tournaments. He also goes to lunch with his buddies a few times a week which is
good, since he doesn’t really have coworkers anymore haha
Amanda
Still working at the hospital twice a
week, and at the care center once a month. I’ve been picking up a few extra
shift lately, which was been exhausting haha I finally finished school! I have
a BSN now! Yay! I still don’t know what even possessed me to go back to school
and I kind of regretted it all along the way…. But I’m done now, so I’m very
happy haha. The last few months were pretty stressful trying to get everything
done, on top of work and family life.
I am 18 weeks pregnant and it’s
been a huge challenge this go around. I mean I hate being pregnant anyway but
this one has been extra rough. We did an early gender check and they said the
baby is a GIRL!! I’m a little paranoid that we will find out they were wrong at
the 20 week ultrasound haha I’m really hoping for a girl, especially because
this will most likely be our last one. I’ve been really sick and I’ve already
gained almost 30 pounds so I’m pretty discouraged. I’m estimating a 70-pound
weight gain and dreading how difficult it will be to lose it. But, all in all I
am truly thankful. This one was a little harder to get here and we fasted and
prayed for her, so I really am excited and thankful! So far I have done pretty
well with working and being pregnant and a coworker finally asked if I was
pregnant on Friday night so I was kind of proud of myself haha not that I was
trying to keep it a secret, but I just don’t like pregnancy to be an excuse to
not do my job or perform to the best of my ability.
Chance
Turned 4
this month. We had a huge bash for his birthday and it was honestly kind of a
nightmare for me, and there was some family drama, but Chance had a good time.
It was lego themed and we did water balloons and silly string (for our gender
reveal) so it was quite a happening event!
Chance is
getting so big and turning more and more to just a kid rather than a toddler.
He is starting preschool again this week. He will also start his first year of
soccer this week. He has been doing gymnastics classes at Arete gymnastics and
he has been enjoying that. Depending on how soccer goes, we may stop gymnastics
but we will wait before deciding.
Coleman
Almost 2
and oh, so naughty!! This kid will be the death of me! He is so hard headed and
he and Chance pretty much fight constantly. He likes everything that Chance
does but is super obsessed with sports! He is Trav’s son for sure! We are
thinking of putting him in a little gym class. Chance did it at his age and
really enjoyed it so we will probably start that soon.
Well that’s pretty much it! We have a lot coming up and we
are going to Disneyland in 2 weeks so we
are pretty excited!
