Catchin Up

I know, I know. It's been like 10 years (but really only 9ish months) since I posted last. But that's because there have been super EXCITING things happening in our lives. Brandon is back at school for his LAST semester! WOOO!!! We are pretty stoked. I, being the mature, graduated lady I am, got a full time job! I absolutely LOOOOVE it! It is a small office in American Fork called Mountain West Foot and Ankle Institute and I am learning so much every day. I never thought I would be working as a patient care coordinator/medical assistant for a foot doctor. It is so interesting. Dr. Gibson is the nicest guy ever and I LOVE the 4 other ladies I work with every day.

Also, Brandon just found out today that he got a job working for Property Solutions! I'll let him tell you more about that later... :)

Yes, I am still dancing. Of course. :) I auditioned for a company in Denver in June and after the two week long process, I was invited to join their company. However, after MUCH prayer and fasting, I had to turn the offer down. It wasn’t right. SO, I am now rehearsing in the evenings with a local non-profit company called Wasatch Contemporary Dance Company. We have a show in October (23rd and 24th-come!) at the Covey Center (Heck yes, a REAL stage!) and it is going to be a fabulous show!!

Most exciting of all is that… we got a puppy! Her name is Riley and she is the cutest little thing ever. She is a schnauzer/yorkie mix. We had to get a hypoallergenic dog because I’ve recently discovered I am allergic to most dogs. Mer. :/ We got Riley when she was about 2 months old and she is now close to 5 months. Luckily, I haven’t had any problems with her, allergy wise. However, she is really awful at the whole potty training thing. Mer. AGAIN. Haha. She is trying to figure out how to work her ears and it is HILARIOUS. We constantly find her ears glued together on top of her head like a unicorn. Hehe! We are so blessed to have her! She is our baby… for now.

 I’m sure there is more to tell.. but for now, ta ta!

Help

Hey guys. This is a very personal post but... I need help. Being a new mom has been, well, lonely. Really lonely. Yes, I have my precious baby boy to play with all day but it's not like he can talk to me, really listen to me, or play with me. It's hard when it's so one sided alllll day. The most exciting things in my life (other than the cute things Ander is constantly doing and the couple hours of rehearsal I have each week) are finally finding something good to watch on Netflix, finally seeing Brandon's car come in the driveway, or getting an Amazon package in the mail. It's always been easy for me to make friends and form connections with people. I've always had a best friend. It's weird to not have one. Yes, I have close friends and I love them dearly. But I don't have that one person that I can call for anything, that person who lives down the road who I can hang out with all the time while Brandon is at work, or on the weekends to go have...

Flashback: Prague

AH! I just realized I failed to document my adventure in Prague, Czech Republic in July. I was chosen, with a small group of dancers from BYU, to travel to Prague to perform in an international storytelling conference. After 14 hours on an airplane and another hour bus ride to Prague, we discovered our luggage was missing. After filling out some paperwork we decided to make the best of it and go exploring. We walked the cobblestone streets and browsed the quaint shops all along the way. We got hungry and stopped to eat at an authentic czech restaurant where we all ordered something we were told was delicious. To the contrary, we all felt mildly sick to our stomachs afterward and vowed never to eat that sticky orange sauce again. I tried to use my credit card to buy the meal and discovered it was frozen. Yes, I did call the bank before I left to tell them I would be out of the country but somehow, the message hadn't gotten through. So in addition to being gross from traveling...

A YEAR AND A HALF!

Whoa whoa whoa. Slow down there time. You are gettin' a little quick for my liking. Ander Man has gotten big way too fast. He is 18 months old! That's like... a year and a half! =P  I do have to say that he is sooo much fun at this age, even though we've seen glimpses of his future "terrible two" year old self (oh please let him stay an angel!). He is so independent and so curious about everything. He sure is a happy little fella. He definitely knows how to get his way with that cute smile of his. I mean, who could say no to that? He is so so sweet and is so good to snuggle with mom and dad. He still doesn't say a whole lot. He mostly just grunts and points. I'm pretty sure I gave birth to a caveman. ;) Here's a list of some things he says (and a lot of them are his own interpretations of the word): Mom, Dad Nana, Pop Pop Papa Dog, Puppy Bottle Blankie Hi No,Yes (but mostly "no") He can make quite a few animal sounds. I t...
