There have been some changes around here lately!
My body is getting increasingly HUGE! By the end of the day I am so tired and I start to waddle. Ben thinks it's endearing and I think that it sucks :)
We are enjoying summer! My sister in law came over one day and totally laughed at my chore charts, daily schedules and structured activities that I have planned. Come on people, are you really surprised? It's my OCD and perfectionist self coming out in rare form. Where did I learn to pay attention to detail? I can't pin point it exactly, but certain members of my family carry the trait well. We are a club. The other members, they are on a different team. The team that doesn't care about every little detail and won't have a full blown breakdown if something isn't planned.
Ben is changing jobs. He is currently in the middle of transitioning from one to the other, which has made life crazy. We haven't seen much of each other lately with our callings pulling us some nights and Ben working so much. He just left this afternoon for a camp out in Nevada with his Young Men's group. Sunday night/Monday morning he leaves for L.A. to finish up and pass off his current projects to those who are taking over. The new job is for a company in Orem that works with financial software. They have been "recruiting" him for a long time and the timing just felt right to us! It's an amazing opportunity and has a few perks that I will enjoy. He'll be working from home 2-4 days a week, which will be SO NICE after I have the baby. His opportunity for growth is immense and if we all know Ben, he will jump in there and put everyone on the efficiency wagon.
That's all for now...wish me luck this week without a husband :(

Oh Rach~ you are cute when you waddle. :) Not me though. I'm so happy for you guys and that Ben is going on to something with lot's of opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you! I will wish you luck this week for sure! Jake will need it in 2 weeks when I will be leaving him with the kids while I go to camp :(! Love ya!
Jeff's gone with the scouts this weekend too. Hate it. That working from home thing is awesome. Even if they can't "help", they are still there for emergencies. I always hated being pregnant. Worth it though for what you accomplish!
ReplyDeleteI just want to tell you that your blog is so fun to read. Adorable anniversary posts!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Ben was changing jobs. I guess that's the price you pay when you move out of state.
ReplyDeleteCongrats...it sounds like a good opportunity for him.
Just think...you're on the downhill slide to having your baby. Best wishes these last few weeks...you're in our prayers!
It was so fun to see you guys even if it was only for a few minutes in FREEZING weather. You are so close to being done with your pregnancy! Hang in there. I loved your anniversary posts. I totally remember you two on your wedding day. How cute of Ben to get onto your blog and praise you. We love you guys. good luck on the new job and with baby!! Take care.
