My New Home

Last Saturday, (3-17-12), James and I moved Bethel, AK. We had a lot of fun with having different experiences when we first got down here. We had very limited items. We have 2 plastic plates and plastic silverware and napkins that we got as a wedding present from my best friends mom almost 2 years ago. Why we still had everything 2 years later I don't know, but God knew we were gonna need them. We have to wash our plates every meal  so we have something to eat on. All of our plates and bowls are in Illinois sitting in my mother-in-laws garage. We still have stuff in James' aunt and uncles cache to so we are kinda all over the place.

When James and I first got here we had to go to the store and get some groceries. We bought and onion, not sure what I used it in, but I just remembered that I had to use a leather man to cut it on my plastic plate since I don't have a cutting board. It's been in an interesting experience to say the least. On Monday my knife set came so now I don't have to use the leather man. We also had wash our dishes with a paper towel because we did not have any dish cloths. Again on Monday we got bathroom washcloths and we are using them to wash our dishes. I believe most of our dish cloths are at our aunt and uncles house still. I have no clue where all my stuff is, I just know that I will get them all eventually.

James and I are going to try and get to Anchorage in April, so we can get some big shopping done. I'm looking forward to it, since it will be my first time out of the villages since July when I moved out to the bush.

    Hey, Lady! So glad that you are who you are and that you are, as Uncle Bill said, "A real trooper"! We love you both and are so proud of you for having fun with all of the challenges coming your way...

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 ...
