Cold Toes, Warm Souls.

Well, the winter weather has hit. Karsen woke up with a cold so we've just been lounging in our PJs, cuddling watching repomen and eating vegtable beef soup. yum. Karsen's mom took us grocery shopping last night. Mother in laws are awesome. Or at least mine is! Karsen is hungry again so I gotta whip up some more soup. :)

The past few weeks have drastically changed mine and Karsen's lives. I never thought in a million years our lives could get better, but honestly things just keep going up. Karsen had his birthday and on the same day found out that he started a job he'd applied for months ago the following day. He got a job here in Logan at a place that makes gas cans named Rotofax. He works with his two friends which isnt even the best part! Him and I both go to work at 6am and get off at two am. Being on the exact same schedule is amazing for us. We go to bed together, wake up together, eat lunch together, and come home happy together. Its great we have not even bickered since we've moved. I always knew moving out would change our lives and we just love our little place. Its a tiny two bedroom with a huge living room and kitchen. We only had a small love seat when we moved in, but thanks to the D.I we now have a full sized couch and a coffee table, I decorated the coffee table with a "how to survive a zombie attack poster" it is cute Karsen thinks i'm cool now. (: Our first full week of work and living here I became betty crocker. Making tacos, mini pizza's, homemade mac and cheese, hamburger helper, bbq chicken, mashed potatoes and rolls. Just trying to keep my hard working man fed(: We will both get paid on the same days of the month its gonna be weird having a little under $600 dollars a month in bills and than $1100 dollars left over a month. we used to live off of a hundred dollars a month when we lived in the trailer! Also my best friend Meghan is moving to tremonton and is gonna be working in Logan so I'm gonna watch my love bug Tragan a few times a week. I absolutely love that little man! The baby and wedding hungry is amplified every time Tray is in our home, because Karsen will actually play with him now! He wants a baby too he just doesnt know it yet. ;) The count down to my birthday is on! Karsen better spoil me rotten with all that money he's making. I only have one pictue to post and its a wedding dress I fell in love with, and its even here in Logan. I want it.

Moving!!!

We are moving! (: tomorrow is moving to Logan day for Karsen and Erica, friday I found us an apartment and tomorrow we sign the lease and move. We finally are gonna have a place of our own. I am beyond ecstatic at this point. We got a 2 bed one bath little apartment. its super cute and perfect. I spent the day packing up all of our stuff, while Karsen was out playing for his birthday. He's 22 happy birthday love! I feel like its my birthday though with all the excitement Im containing. Pics to come of the new place.!

latelyy

Well, pretty much my life is about to get way too hectic for my own good, but BRING IT ON! Last wednesday Karen(Karsen's mom) told us we had to be out Monday aka in 5 days. Grrr. So, I've been frantically looking for places and hopefully we will be moved to Logan by next weekend my apartment seach is gonna be a little hard though because Monday I start working full time and I only have one day off in the next week. I'm kind of stressing out about it but once I get the hang out it I dont think it will be so bad.  Tomorrow is my sisters birthday and we are heading off to my mom's house for her birthday dinner. Me and my mama went shopping saturday and bought her a new bed spread, a wall clock, and some clothes. i am excited to give it all to her. Baby Tray and Meg came and visited us thursday night it was good to just kick back and relax and play with my baby boy<3 He has gotten so big and his eyes are always wide open. He is seriously so cute and his parents adore him.

This past weekend was the annual Williams Camp out. It was sooo fun. We went up daniels and than found a meadow and everyone set up camp. We spent four days fourwheeling, hiking, eating, and laughing. Its definetly my favorite time of the year. Enjoy the pics! ( the last ones are of my baby love Tragan Ray, this was when we came down from camping, he is making me soooooo baby hungry because he is so perfect. <3

Little Tragan Ray came last night at 2:14am, He was 6lbs 10oz, 19 1/2 inches long he was blonde hair and big blue eyes. His mommy was in labor starting at 7pm after drinking castor oil. Daddy arrived at 9pm Auntie Erica and Karsen got there at 11. They had just broke her water and given her the epidural and she was dialated to the 6. At 12 she was to a 8 and than at 1 he was a 10+ and after a practice push he was already beggining to crown. The nurse began having her push and at 1:50 she called the doctor from 1:50 to 2:13 he teased us she would do amazing at pushes but just wouldnt come out Finally at 2:14 he came through and we all cried. Daddy Travis cut the cord and than mommy held him, Got him cleaned up and His Daddy got to hold him, than mommy, than grandma suzanne, than grandma Janae, and than Daddy again and then me and Karsen got him. I was instantly in love he looked at me the entire time his dark blue eyes are beautiful. After a million kisses and congrats me and karsen left since we hadnt slept all day. I cant wait to go see my little love bug tomorrow. Oh BTW watching birth is the most beautiful thing i have EVER watched. I loved it.

the past 6 monthsish(:

Well, where to begin? In April I got a job at Integrity Home Health and Hospice I got to patients homes and shower them (seriously thats about it) I like the job enough, but in May Karsen and I became fed up with living at his dads house so over night we packed our stuff and moved to preston. (best decision ever) I hated living with his dad and all the drama that came with living there. The bad part for my job I have to do early morning 7am and late evening 9:30pm visits which means I have to drive 30 minutes twice a day. It really is exhausting. Also the 10 dollars to drive there and back is pretty much evening out with my 10 dollar salary so basically I'm working just to work. I havent saved any money because it all goes towards gas.:( We're trying to find Karsen a job so we can either move back to Logan or at least be able to afford the driving. We also have a deadline to be moved out by August 15th so Im pretty much just stressing. Moving to Preston has one huge downside to it and that is that all of Karsen's jobless friends live here so they pretty much just hang out while I work all the time. I seriously have begun to resent them and Karsen so much, but I try not to make it a big deal because he's stressed about finding a job, but I'm stressed too and really he doesnt need to play video games 8 hours a day. Last month I had a baby shower for my friend Meghan who is due any day now with baby Tragan (who i named) :) BEST AUNTIE EVER! We've spent the last few weeks reading up on how to naturally induce labor but nothing has worked poor girl. July is a terrible time to be pregnant. I am debating on starting school again in the fall but unless I'm moved back to Logan there is no way I can spend my days off driving to Logan I would die! In May we celebrated Nevi's first birthday! She is the apple of her daddys eye if only her mom would realize that, but no she's too busy with boyfriend #2 since Nevi's been alive and their actually engaged to be married in the temple next week. Pathetic. Travis and her have court on the 20th to hopefully finish up custody. Me and Karsen have finally started talking about a wedding date in the fall of 2012. I am nervous/excited about it not nervous to marry my bestfriend but definetly scared to plan a wedding. Overall we are happy, healthy and in love still so not too much of a change(: I have a bunch of pictures so here they are.

I cant believe We've been living in Logan for almost 2 and 1/2 months, time has gone by so fast but at the same time it seems like it keeps dragging on and on. living in the trailer gets so old so fast. Walking inside to go to the bathroom is awful especially on mornings like today it was -8, terrible peeing weather(: We figured we go through 300+ dollars a month just for propane to heat this "home." its rediculous and everyday karsen and i get more anxious to move out on our own. We feel like we're two hamsters running in one of those wheel machines getting no where. School is the only thing that makes me somewhat happy and im done with that sometime next week until january, its going to be a long december. I did get to go out and go shopping yesterday, karsen bought me some $80 bearclaw boots i definetly needed them though. Karsen lost his wallet last week, so he got a new one yesterday and we went and got him a new license yesterday in Preston. Gettin out of the house was much needed. Monday nights are Mom nights and Karsen's mom Karen always takes me, Karsen, and Kwintse out to dinner, It is my favorite part of the week,She is so awesome, I am way glad she'll someday be my mother in law. (:


Karen and Jeff. they are the best.
