If anyone still reads this....

I promise I am alive. The more I put stuff off, the more I despise the thought of doing it. The "it" being blogging. So how about I just pretend that I haven't disappeared for more than a month.

We are here in Utah. We've been here for almost 3 weeks but if you were to step foot into our home, you would think moving day was maybe tomorrow. It is naked, buck naked. People warned me that moving from an apt. to a house would be hard because half the house would be empty. It's true. So the only job my husband has given me since we've moved here is to fill it up. Well, normally I would be clicking my heels to begin that job. But as most of you know I am PREGNANT! (I'm pretending to sound excited but really all of you I have talked to know that my pregnancies are hell. Don't worry, I WILL be excited, really excited, but just as soon as my body regains feeling) Good news though....this pregnancy has been a ton easier than Cooper. With Cooper I didn't discover the wonderful world of prescription drugs until 4-5 months along, so I threw up about every 20 minutes of every day (no exaggeration) during that time. This time, the minute I got sick I called the doc and threatened his life if he didn't give me the drugs right away. So anyway, I starting taking them but for some reason, still barfed my brains out...but only off and on....not every minute like with Cooper. SO OK...where am I getting at? I am in my 13th week (I know, still brand spanking new) and feeling a TON better than I did 1-2 weeks ago. But the only thing that still sucks is that I have absolutely NOTHING in me....no desire, no wants, no worries, not a care in the world. I don't clean, I hardly get ready, I haven't decorated, blogged, scrapbooked, or taken a SINGLE picture, nothing. It's really like the life has been sucked out of me. So my goal is to just hang one bloody picture on the wall before I have this child. I will get there!

Holy shnite, I have talked way too much. This is what happens when I don't have any pictures to show. I apologize to all you who hate long run-on paragraphs like the one above. But I promise I will be back to normal! I'm going to get back into the groove of things, and I will be a better blogger.

As for the house, we LOVE it! It's totally beautiful and we feel lucky to be here. We have loved being in Utah, seeing our friends, and living close by family. Oh yea, and having Cafe Rio nearby. Daybreak is a beautiful place, and I can't wait to see it in the summer when the grass is green and we can play outside! I think Cooper is getting severe cabin fever being inside so much.

Work has been good for Dave here in SLC. Although he has been working, what seems like, 90 hour days since starting, because of wondeful tax season. The plus side of tax season here in Utah is that I can just conveniently show up at my parents house right around dinner time...almost every night. It's been nice to have people to be with when me and Coop get lonely at nights.

Alright, I am truly sorry I talked for so long. For some reason, I felt like I had to fill you in with every small detail of my life. I will get back to normal blogging, with pictures and stuff, I promise.

oh my gosh, i am so excited that you posted!! WHOOHOO!! I am sorry that you have been sick, but I am glad that you are doing a bit better, and that it isnt as bad as with Cooper. That was the same with me, it too FOREVER to figure out the drugs with Scoty, and then this one, I started the minute I felt sick, and i have felt A TON better! Anyways, I cant wait to see pics of the new place, and to see you guys soon!! CALL ME!

I am so happy that you are pregnant. Congrats. That is so exciting. I am down to 4 days left and can't wait to see this child. I am sad I didn't get to see you before you left but if I ever go to Utah I will give you a call. I am so happy for you guys I am sure you are loving, living so close to your family. That is so great.

Jordan said...

I'm just pleased as can be to open murds.blogspot.com and see something besides "Well frick". Thanks for the new post!

And congratulations on the awesome news! That's really really cool.

Also, I laughed out loud when I imagined you "clicking your heels" when you got the decorating assignment. Hahahaha!

Ryan and Tori said...

Congrats on everything! Being pregnant, your new house, being done moving. Sounds exciting but stressful...

Aaron and Jessie said...

Stacie you are one person I really don't mind if you add every little detail because like I've said before you are one of the funniest people I know, so I always have a gauranteed laugh when reading your blog. I'm so glad you are here in Utah so we can go rollerblading and swimming together.

I'm thrilled you're back home! And I love your home, it makes me want to buy there and move in right next to ya.

Tracy Elder said...

WOOOO! You're ALIVE! I thought I was imagining words that didn't say, "Well Frick".

Things are keeping their normal pace around here. Just did some typical gardening...you know...watering the weeds, then pulling them out.

We rarely see Tino and Kristen. I have been so busy trying to figure out ways to make some extra dough. Tutoring and subbing are my upcoming jobs, in addition to the gymnaastics. I will take my CBEST test in June. A test. I know...sucks for me....It is even one of those fill in the bubble ones using your #2 pencil.

Anyways, can't wait to see pics of your place. I can't imagine being inside all day. And I loved reading your blog, every letter of it.

I'm so excited for you guys, especially Cooper! He'll be the best big brother. Take care of yourself, don't feel bad about not getting things done. Relax, play with Cooper and keep things simple.

Talk soon!

Kelly said...

Congrats on being pregant!!! that is so exciting...but the sick part sucks. I remember getting sick with Kylee and thinking "Why do people get pregnant?" I didn't have it as bad as you but no fun at all. i'm glad you are back in UT...feel better!!

Elizabeth said...

Yeah...you're back!! Congrats with the pregnancy, and I hope you get better soon, that is NO fun. I've been keeping updated with Melissa since you have been under the weather. Can't wait to see the house!

the fellers said...

haah Stacie, you are funny! But, if you want I can teach you my skills, I really dont have any at all, I am in the trial and error stage still, just go the machine for Christmas....so....I am still learning, but you cant mess up too bad on a rag quilt, so I figure that is safe! And I might be weird, but I actually am having a hard time finding girl clothes. I know there are a ton out there, but I just get scared and find myself at the boys racks....guess I still have boy on the brain...but I think i am getting better....I went crazy yesterday...Shon was sad, he wants to buy her stuff now he told me...haha. Anyway, do you know when you find out what you are having? How many weeks are you now??

Jordan said...

I am so glad you guys moved to Utah. How exciting. And congrats on being prego. I hated the first trimester because I was just like you. throwing up all the time. Anyways, good luck filling up your new house. I';m sure it won't be too tough :)

Kristin said...

Yeah! I'm glad to see you're back at "it." Everyone else is too apparently. I hope you get feeling better soon. How many weeks are you now? I want to see pics! The new house, the pregnant belly, and of course Cooper and family! I bet he's huge! I miss you...

Tiffany said...

Hi Stacie, I don't know if you remember me but I went to high school with you. I came across your blog through someone who knows someone etc etc ... you catch the drift. Anyway very cute blog and I LOVE your pictures. I'm just starting but I am huge into photography right now so your blog caught my eye. I just got a new camera and can't decide if I should keep it or try another one. I'm just wondering what kind of camera you use. If you don't mind will you let me know? Thanks so much! Good to hear all is well with you and your cute family!

Tiffany said...

Thanks for the nice comments, you're sweet! Actually I bought the same camera a Canon Rebel Xti and I love it but I've been debating between that and the comparable Nikon cause my sister has the Nikon and loves it so it's been a toss up! I love photography too and I have SO much to learn but I'm glad you have the same camera now if I ever have any quesitons I know who to come to! So therefore, we can be photography buddies. I'm gonna be buying photoshop here in the next couple of months which one to do you have, is it cs3?

Tiffany said...

Oh ya, and where did you buy that lens at? Did you get it off the internet or in a store?
