Alaska

Well James and I made it to Alaska safely early Tuesday (6-28). Are plans were to stay in Anchorage until Thursday (6-30) then fly out to Aniak. Well our plans ended up changing due to me having a swollen face when I woke up that morning.  We called James' aunt and got a number for a dentist here in Anchorage. We make an appointment thinking that they could just pull my tooth and I could be on my way. Oh man were we wrong. the Doctor told me that he didn't advise us leaving today and to come back in a couple days. Well it just so happens that it's a holiday weekend, which means the earliest I could get in is on Tuesday (7-5) at 11am. Well we call his aunt to let her know what was going on. We had to figure out a way to get a hold of James' uncle since he was the one picking us up. We didn't want him to make a wasted trip in if it could be avoided.

Now we just get to spend the next 5 days getting ready to finish our move. I do have to  say, that even with this whole tooth problem we still haven't spent the amount of money it would have cost us if we would have drove here. We spent under $500 on plane tickets for the two of us (which included trip protection), $650ish on mailing all of our belongings. and its gonna be about $500 for all this dental stuff.  If we would've drove to Alaska it would have cost a minimal of $2000. So I am very thankful when I look at it that way that we haven't even come that close yet to spending that amount of money. We have enough money to pay for my dental stuff and not have to use a care credit card.  Just thought I would update for you all.

At the end

It's 8:05 pm the night before my due date. I can't believe I'm the end of my pregnancy. I know that Payton can be late, but knowing the end is near is kinda nice. I've enjoyed being pregnant, but these last 3 weeks have been really hard for me. I not the biggest fan of surprises. I have to know what or when something is going to happen. James has a hard time surprising me because I'm always trying figure out what he is doing. *He did surprise me today with some chocolate and a Valentines day card*  Anyways knowing that Payton could come any time excites me, but also terrifies me. I mean when in the world is he going to show. I wish I could just be give a date saying that he will be born that day. Not a due date since most babies are not born on their actual due date. Poor James, I've kept him up numerous time in the past few weeks freaking out, stressing, etc. over this whole not knowing and knowing that I can't do anything about it really. God knows and I h...

Trusting.

Well, I've been going down the road of life trying to trust God in every situation. I'm praying and hoping that my husband can get a job soon, seeing since we are out of money and have bills still coming, mostly my student loans. I'm struggling with all of this just because James doesn't have a job yet. I'm sure I wouldn't be as stressed out if we had some money flow coming in.   During all of this I think back to when my dad had his open heart surgery 9 months ago. My mom was also trusting and believing that God would provide during that time. My parent's had bills coming in and had no money to pay them. My dad had his surgery on the monday before thanksgiving in 2010. My mom would come home during the week stay and there would be money in the mail for her and it was always enough to get her through.  I wish I could be like my mom and have the faith that she did. I've been very emotional during all of this. I haven't gotten a good night rest since...

might be good-bye for now, but not forever.

Almost every night I have a hard time falling asleep. Half of the time it's because I just am not tired enough to fall asleep, the other half is because my brain won't shut off. I always have different things that I want to write about in a blog, but then by the morning I forget about it. During the day I think oh I should write a blog.  I told James that I want to write one blog per week for the whole year. He just laughed at me and said, you'll run out of things to write about. Right now I feel like he is write, but on the other hand I feel like I can write a lot. Everything I want to write about is getting pregnant and the separation period with James being in a different village. So I guess I won't be writing a blog for awhile, since my last I don't know how many blogs have been about getting pregnant and my separation time. I don't want to bore all the people that might actually read this. So unless I can think of something else, you might not hear from me ...
