Dear Sleep,
I am sorry I hated you when I was little!
Now I can't get enough of you!
If I could sincerely walk around like this for the rest of the semester I totally would. Sorry for the sporadic posts. I was really trying to post every day but that seems to become most difficult when group projects, essays, and other projects all seem to be due at the same time. I am SOOOOO tired and I don't know why? I think I am like a little bear winter comes and I feel like I should just hibernate all winter long. I remember at the beginning oh my pregnancy, J gave me a blessing that said that I needed to take care of myself and not push myself that what was necessary. I think for the first time I am truly understanding this because I have been trying to push just a little bit harder and do one more thing but I am tired allll the time. Maybe this is what I was trying to be warned about. But one thing I have realized is that I am so so SO grateful that I dropped my spanish class and went from five classes down to four. I feel less stress and more time to just take it easy and focus more on my other classes. I once heard that pregnant moms don't really get the same refreshing feeling that others get when they sleep because their body is busy growing a baby! This is how I feel... maybe it is time to start making a more active approach to work out daily.
This past week has been quite the adventure! On Monday I woke up to a huge puddle located right beside our fridge. I thought maybe it was a snow puddle because I had hear Jonathan run back into the apartment because he had forgot something but the more I thought about it the water was clean and not muddy. So then I opened the fridge and noticed that nothing in it was cold. I opened the freezer and everything was defrosted! UGH really? I listened and noticed that the fridge wasn't making any noise so I replugged it into another outlet it worked sort of. But not really so we have a newer fridge to say the
least. When it happened I kept thinking about when I was little and one of the most hilarious prank calls someone could make was "is your fridge running?" "yes" "well you better go catch it!". But then I thought what would you say if your fridge really wasn't running... ha ha cause that is really not funny at all!! But I think it seems funny right now because I am suffering for being soo sleepy! On Saturday, I was really proud of J! He decided that he really wanted to learn how to change the oil in our car and we have some magnificent friends who one is a mechanic. He offered to teach mr. hubbins so Saturday morning we went over and D and J changed a whole bunch of stuff on our little car. Before we had moved to Edmonton, someone had run a red light and hit our car when J was doing a left turn. It left our crash smooshed on the right side and so D was so good and helped J pop out the dent, change the signal light and fix our windshield case. Our car is doing better than it has been in over a year. ANDD J knows more about cars then I do now haha yay! So happy about that :):)
Our next exciting thing that happened this past week was our American Thanksgiving Celebration. D, the one who helped teach J more about our car is originally from California and so his wife threw him an American Thanksgiving. It was nice to find time to be united with friends and know that there are people here to be supportive with us when family isn't close. We ended up having a great time and J is finding some people to get close to in our ward which has been pretty tricky. I think it had helped quite a bit that we are now pregnant because all the people who hang out together, have little kids.
I feel like we have tons of blessings we are coming our way, especially as we try harder to become more like Christ and turn closer to God.
Hope you're having a warm week with happy adventures.
Merr
