Good news!

Well do you want the good news? OR the good news?

Well the good news is that we GOT THE HOUSE! Yay! We get to move in on June 1st...
The other good news is that I got a great job in which I only work from 7:30 am to 1:30 and have the whole rest of my day with Alexis! I am a receptionist at a medical office in Lehi. It is called Dry Creek family practice, and then in the same office they also offer Laser and Aesthetics! I want to be an Aesthetician someday so I am so excited that I get to work in an office that does it! I get all and any Laser Hair Removal treatments for free!! And then any other service like facials, or chemical peels and things, we get a really good discount! For a pedicure we only pay like $11 I think. And our immediate family members a.k.a Mom, and Sisters :) get 50% of most procedures! So I'm excited..

"Before I was a Mom, I never tripped over toys, or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom, I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put them down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life SO much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy. Before I was a Mom I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment, or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom."
