It is quite difficult to keep a blog up when I don’t have
internet. Since the last post, here are
some things that happened, not including baby because she gets her own
post. Bob graduated with his Masters
Degree. He started a tradition of eating
a full rack of ribs after each semester and his parents were generous enough to
give into him. Here he is with Wilbur,
the Famous Daves mascot. We thought it
was a little gruesome for Bob to have a picture taken with a pig and then eat
its cousin.
We started praying that he would find a job in May because
my subbing income definitely did not cover our needs and it was going to end
with the school year. The last week of
May, he had two interviews, one in Montpelier and one in Delta. The Central Utah Counseling Center called and
offered him a job on May 31. Our prayer
was answered. Bob didn’t start work
until the middle of July because he had to wait for his background check to
clear. Bob is now the main social worker
for Millard County. He is enjoying it
most of the time, but it can get overwhelming.
Neither of us had any obligations for a month and a half and
we enjoyed sleeping in and having lazy days.
Bob tried to get in lots of fishing because he knew opportunities would
be slim with work and a baby in the future.
We made some trips to Utah to see family. On one trip we went to the zoo with Bob’s
family because his sister and family were in town from Wyoming. I have had a pretty easy pregnancy with my
main complaint was that my feet looked and felt like water balloons, so I
thought I could handle it. Now I know to
never take an eight month pregnant woman to the zoo. At one point I had to sit and rest with my
feet up and a woman walked past and said, “It’s worth it, I promise.” I never thought I would be that pregnant
woman that looked that miserable. I
enjoyed the zoo and the company, but I came home very tired and grumpy.
We are now renting a trailer in Fool Creek, which is about
25 miles east of Delta. It is not a
town, just a cluster of houses. Our
landlords are a couple in their eighties that have lived there their whole
married life. They are very friendly and
have taken us under their wing. Before
Aubrey was born I spent most days unpacking and organizing. I think I organized the baby room every week
just for fun. I also took trips “to
town” to find internet and do shopping.
Most days were highlighted with a trip to Oak City, 8 miles away, to
check the mail.
I think that brings you up to baby, so wait a few days, or
months which seems to be my habit, I will introduce you to our little bundle of
joy.
