Our Week.

We did it!

We made it through our first busy week of the fall semester. I feel like it all happened so quickly but at the same time it drug on and on and on. Monday we started by becoming a little more organized and got our grocery/meal plan list together. Then I ran to Reams/Dunford before school and after I had worked that morning. Luckily the new shift bid has been great to me and there is tons of VTO.

I of course had every intention of being on time, and things ran slower than we had thought. I was doing well until Ruby mentioned she was starving because we had not eaten lunch, and I had a ten minute window to find fast food and feed her. But, I decided that I was just going to be late, and it turned out ok. Ruby was happy to start at the daycare and I was so rushed (as usual) that my heart didn’t fall out of my chest as I drove back to UVU.

I ended up in the wrong classroom (a dance choreography class, yikes) and realized that maybe this had nothing to do with Comm research about 15 minutes later. I did find my class, and felt like a fool. But it turns out the class will be good to me. I feel like Heavenly Father is giving me every break he can in making this little thing happen and all my classes seem to be exactly what I need.

Monday night we made the mistake of trying to run to RC Willey, dinner, and Costco after school. Nic ended up having to take care of some things for his Mom and when bedtime happened after 10pm for everyone, I was exhausted. Really, I felt like lying down on the floor and crying instead of doing the whole bedtime routine.

Tuesday and Wednesday went a little smoother. Except that we had meetings for Nic and I had scheduled an appointment for me, so basically the whole week we weren’t home together at all.

Wednesday we met up with Brynne and Mandi at a little farm to pick fresh raspberries, my favorites! I loved seeing them and their two babes. I have seriously the biggest love for those two gals (and of course Annie which was a treat to see!) They just make me wanna be better and do better. Love them, and loved having something planned to do with Ruby before school that made our day a little more fulfilling. We got to the daycare Kids on the Move, a little early so we enjoyed a picnic lunch and I felt like I could make this happen. I could do what I had felt so strongly was nearly impossible but was so important for me to do!

Thursday we kicked off the Utah football season in a bad mood. I don’t know why but the first game is always so rough getting to for us, and the timing just never works out. I think we were both in tears (except Ruby never is unhappy) at some point. My feet have not swollen at all this pregnancy, things have actually just been so great. But of course of all nights to have a body malfunction, I could literally not get my toms of my feet by the end of the night. I was having Braxton hicks contractions and it was hotter than hell! Nic tried to get us to go home by the middle of the third quarter, the Utes were losing and he was stressed about trying to squeeze an almost three year old on our lap the whole time. But, we made him stay, and it was great. I hate to ever leave early for a close game, and Nic for some reason can’t leave early even when it’s a blow out.

By Friday night, I thought we wouldn’t make it. But my parents had invited us to Pocatello to see the Riverton Football Game. We’re all now sporting purple because of Uncle Mike’s new coaching job. Since I do have Jaguar roots though, I don’t know if I’ll ever love a team like I loved the Jags. Ruby and I spent the day getting the house cleaned up and doing laundry. Nic had decided to go hunting, after taking basically three years off. We headed to Pocatello and enjoyed the company of Scoob and Babaloo. I sure do love how deeply my Ruby loves my parents, and of course in return NO ONE has ever loved her more. The three of them are 
obsessed.

The game was great, and I love me some time with the Morgs. We had dinner, played the lotto and drove home. We ended up getting home around 2am. Ruby was the last one to sleep in the car and kept grandpa company. I worked in the morning and was so exhausted. I ended up logging in a little late and was devastated, but have been so proud of myself for not having any sort of points for the past four months, that I excused myself and think that things will be ok if I just keep working hard.

Saturday I found the missing book on KSL, it ended up being someone I know who sold it to me, and I felt again like the stars were aligning and I was saving almost a $100. Ruby and I were so tired by the time we came home and just hung out the rest of the night. She was asleep by 8 and I was asleep by 9. Nic came home just before 11 and how I missed my guy.

We were lucky to have a long weekend and spent Sunday doing nothing. I don’t think we went anywhere, after our church meetings. We didn’t have anything to do. I made dinner, and we played games and just enjoyed each other. Ruby’s girls Lyla and Rosie had a little spa day and it was the perfect Sunday, one we haven’t had in forever. Nic got to help us get ready for church, and we still made it in time to get a soft chair.

Life is good, it’s pretty much the same thing every day, but the same good thing and we’re so happy and so lucky to have that consistency. Here’s to another week ahead.
