On the Road Again!

Drive to salt lake!

Okay--- I figure I should at least give you an idea of what is going on -- even tho we are still trying to figure it out ourselves!!! :) We are moving to Salt Lake.... (New added on news at the bottom! Its a new addition aside from what I explain in the next paragraph!)

Now the details from here get complex! Mark is looking into joining the National Guard and going to BYU. We are looking for a six month lease in Salt Lake because we figure the training for the Guard will be approx. 9 weeks, then the training for the area he is looking at going into takes another 8 weeks. After that- because he is looking into learning the language Arabic, he will be going to their top school in California for up to a year. Therefore, we will be going back to Cali for the time being (luckily we will be able to accompany him!). After this time period, he will finally be able to pursue his desire to learn more at BYU. So we will be coming back to Utah again so he is able to finish his schooling! Its a lot of moving-- which will probably drive me crazy! But, I am excited for the new adventures it will bring.

The transition for AubriLynn has been a little rough, but she is starting to be her happy, smiling self once again! So- much-so that she was even feelin good enough to have the courage to stand up on her own. It was for just a moment that she was up.... but she pulled herself up without support and then sat back down. Anyways, this is all the 'rough draft' of what is going on. We're still waiting for a few pieces of information to be filled in so we know specifics. But that is what we know for now!! Its good to be back among friends and family tho! Although please know Mary that AubriLynn loves you very much and still holds her special smiles for you and Randi!!! (Sissy too)

haha! I almost forgot the update on me and the lil' one!!! So much has been happening in such little time I loose track. So, I left Tulare still waiting for them to schedule my ultra sound... and they scheduled it, but it wasn't 'authorized by my insurance yet so they couldn't do anything. I told them we were moving this weekend and all I was really concerned about was (sure the gender!) but also my due date because my pregnancy just seemed 'off''. Anyway- he understood and said he'd do a quick glance because I was leaving and with the insurance/doctor switch he knew it would be a time hassle. So- not much of a result, its too early to tell the gender because I was apparently only 18 1/2 weeks along!!! CrAzY! But I figured because where was my 'bump' that comes a month early!! Funny thing is- within a matter of days my 'bump' appeared out of no-where, but right on time being a month early :)
So- now, who knows how long it will actually be before I find out the gender. Depends on how nice doctors and insurance work with me... Maybe I should do what Bethany says and just let it be a surprise since all signs are against knowing! ;)

OKAY-- so things are always changing... such is life.... Mark has been thrown another (intense) wonderful opportunity that we need to look into. Its involving another company like Global Drug Testing.... Only its in Missouri! :O So, if that is a good opportunity, all of this could change and we'd just pack up and move out there! Crazy eh! I don't know much about it because Mark just talked with the guy in charge-- so now we need to figure things out. Lots to think about in a short amount of time!! So any extra prayers would be great! :)

Now you know as much as we do, haha! That is my update on our crazy lives! No stress! All will turn out :) I'm still glad to be in Salt Lake!
