First time cooking a moose

Okay, so this past weekend James' aunt went to town (Anchorage). We have been living with his aunt and uncle for almost 3 weeks now. Well anyways, while she was in town his uncle made a few dinners and then he was busy so I had offered to make a couple of meals. One night I made a chicken and rice casserole or in my mom's term "farting chicken". James is uncle and cousins loved it. Well we got to talking about what we should have on Sunday for lunch/dinner. So James went and stared at the freezer on Saturday to see what was there. We decided upon a moose roast. Yes I did say a moose roast. Let me just say that when I made my first pot roast shortly after James and I got married I had cheated a little. I had use a pot roast seasoning mix that you buy from the store. Well I knew that my mom would sometimes use the Lipton's onion soup mix in hers, but we didn't have any of that here. (James' aunt went to Anchorage for grocery's). I ended up making my own type of onion soup and then I added a bunch of seasonings. I had no clue how it was going to taste. So when it was time to pull it out of the oven I was scared that no one was going to like it. So I grab my taste tester. James is always honest on how my food is, so he became my taste tester. I won't taste it. He has too and then I will if he says it's good. James' told me that it taste really good. The rest of the family loved it as well. James had told me the other night that I am becoming an Alaskan cook.

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 ...
