Well I know it Has been a REALLY long time and so much has happened between our last post and now and even then the last post was very brief. Well for starters the big thing is we moved to Pennsylvania! more on that later. Since the last post Russell Graduated from BYU-Idaho in April and I am very proud of him for that. He applied to two graduate programs one in Mississippi and one in Pennsylvania, I personally did not want to live in Mississippi so I got lucky and Russell was accepted in to the Penn State Graduate Acoustics program. It was a little stressful at first wondering how in the heck we were going to be able to afford to live back east let alone pay for graduate school, both are very expensive! We had to work for about 3 months strait on paper work for our town house that we now live in I just couldn't believe how picky they were and how much stuff to fill out! But we got it in the end and even though its more than twice what we were paying in Rexburg its cheaper than most places out here. And as for the financial stuff we were VERY blessed and Russell was able to get an assistant-ship that pays for all of his schooling and most of our living expenses so that is a huge relief. Nazarie turned 2 this summer and boy is she a 2 year old fits included, but she sure is cute. She is a little chatter box and can now count to 6! which is a big deal to me. She is still in Love with Disney princess and likes to watch PBS in the mornings. We have been telling her all about the new baby and she acts kind of excited about having a baby around. When she is asked where brother is she will pat mommies tummy and she is working on being able to say his name which is cute because it takes her a while to get all the sounds out so its more like Leee....x.....s. I just cant believe some days how big she is. Lex was initially due Oct. 1st but I was very scared about breaking my tail bone again during delivery so we talked to a doctor her about a c-scetion he checked me and could tell by the placement of my tail bone that it would for sure break again and agreed that a c-section was a good option so now we have a date set for one on September 28th, I am so ready to be done with this pregnancy. The last appointment the dr. said that his head was REALLY low which I could have told him myself because I can really feel it, and I'm dilated to a 1 so not to far along, however today at church i was having some false labor and Russell and I decided that we might need to get prepared just in case. I say that Im not lucky enough for him to come early and Russell says he not lucky enough for the baby to wait until the c-section is scheduled, so I guess we will find out who the lucky and unlucky one in this marriage is in the next couple of weeks. My parents are going to be here in little over two weeks and I just cant wait to see them I have sure missed my family, after all this is the longest i have ever been away from them. Then Russell parents will be here October 7th and we will bless Lex on the 8th then they will stay for a few more days which will be great. Other than that Russell has enjoyed school so far and is still getting orientated with his research position. We love the ward that we have moved into and they have already taken good care of us. I feel like we were noticed when we moved in unlike our past wards. We have made some good friends who have a daughter Nazaries age and they love to play together even if they do get along like two year olds, they are also expecting their second child in Jan. so they are in pretty much the same place in life that we are and we really enjoy spending time all together. Well I guess that sums up the really important stuff. im sure we will post soon (soon to us blogging means hopefully again in the next year)
