Delayed Post

Man, it has been over a month since I have posted! The biggest reason why is because I have lots of pictures, but no way to take the pictures off of my camera, so I just keep putting off posting. I have also been somewhat busy since I got here to Maryland, if you can believe that. I also seem to have an over abundance of time some days, but then I get lazy and don't want to post. Anyway, I am finally going to type up a quick summary of what has been going on for my little family for the last month.

First off, Dallin and I got here to Maryland and waited for Chris and Peggy to arrive with all of our worldly possessions. Thankfully they arrived safe and sound and only a day late, due to leaving really late the first day and weather. Once they got here we got a storage unit and shoved everything in there and took a good amount to Peggy's house as well, like our bed and some clothes and, of course, Dallin's toys! Then for the next little while we just settled in and made ourselves comfortable.

Chris started to apply for jobs in earnest and has been working on some programming stuff so that he could show it to potential employers but unfortunately we have still had no luck finding a job. But Chris did a second round of applying for jobs last week and are hoping to hear back from someone, like the N.S.A. or someone! Who knows when someone will finally find Chris perfect for their job. Anyway, so, still no job but he keeps applying and we keep praying for one.

We had a wonderful experience of being able to go to the D.C. temple and be there when Jess, my sister in law received her endowments and then she and Russ and their baby, Jillian, were sealed. It was very sweet and I was glad to be there. It was nice to see it all happen since we went through the same thing back in November and now I get to have my Love and my sweet baby boy forever.

A bit later we went down to the Lake (Grandma and Grandad White in Virginia) and had a good time visiting with them. They are doing great and they had a lot of fun playing with Dallin. We all had a good time, even though I had a hard time sleeping on the hard bed, which caused me to have head aches almost all day, every day. Then we came home and then Monday Jan (Chris's sister) and Alex (her fiance) and Jan's friend came to town for their spring break. They thankfully left the dog behind because with so many people here at the house and a dog, I think there would have been way too many people! They stayed for a week and looked for wedding stuff since Jan and Alex are getting married next spring but it was nice to see them, but it is also nice to have the house to myself during the day again!

My little brother Jonathon is now engaged and I don't know if they know the exact date, but she has a ring! I figure if she posts about it on face book that I can write about it on my blog. So, that means I will be coming up to Alaska sometime soon! And I am looking forward to it. I am feeling really home sick these days and would love to see my family, maybe some snow or some summer depending on when the wedding will be!

As for me and my pregnancy, we still haven't found a midwife. I found out that the traveling midwife won't come as far as the place we are hoping to buy a house and so I figure I should just find the midwife I am going to use the whole time. But that means that I will be delivering in the hospital. I think the hospital stay was what I didn't like last time and so I really wanted to not be in a hospital environment but I think that for this baby we will go to the hospital and have a midwife there. We will also not be going to the hospital nearly as soon as I did last time, I don't want to have to wait for forever there. Its not my happy place. Anyway, so I need to find one still, but just in case any one is curious, I am over half way at 21 weeks right now.

That is all that is going on for us right now. We have been cleaning the house and getting things back in order after Jan left and its raining so no walk today but we are enjoying life generally. I do love the spring warmth though!
