Okay, so I guess everybody's doing it, so I will too. 2007 flew by just like every year before. Brock has been steadily working for Spring Communications, and loving it. While I, on the other hand, have jumped from Delta, to staying home, to working at the University of Utah Hospital. I made the hard decision to quit working for Delta Air Lines after 5 and 1/2 years. I quit in May and wanted to take the summer off to play with Jace. The scheduling there is so demanding since they are open 24/7/365, and even though 5 years seems like a lot, you don't get weekends and holidays off until you've been working there for at least 10 or 15 years. I decided it was more important to get back to going to church every week, and be home with Jace.
I really have been wanting to get a tattoo, so for my 25th birthday Brock and I did it! It hurt really bad, but we are happy with the results. Brock got a J intertwined with the infinity sign on the inside of his left bicep, and I got a star with the letter B in it on the left side of my left foot. How romantic right!?
Jace and I got season passes to Cherry Hill and went about 2 or 3 times every week. It was a lot of fun all summer.
In June I found out that I was pregnant again. Luckily, Brock and I are pretty blessed in the baby making area. We wanted our babies 2 and 1/2 years apart, and that they will be. We both hoped for another boy (I guess we would have been happy with a girl) and found out shortly after that a boy we were having! Yay! Brock's sister Kallie is due in February, me in March, and my brother Nolan's wife Treo is due in July, so lots of cousins for Jace.
I decided after summer was over that maybe I wanted to go back to work part time. Kallie works in the Plastic Surgery Department at the Univ. Hospital and said they were looking for someone part time so I jumped on it! Hello BOOB JOB! Just kidding! I work there twice a week for 5 or 6 hours a day. I know, really hard. Jace gets to go to Grandma Shauna's school while I work, and he loves it. I do love to see him get excited and yell MOMMY! when I get there to pick him up. Its one of my favorite things.
We've had a few close calls this year. A few months back Jace was walking on the treadmill with Grandma, luckily just 1 mile and hour, and his fingers got caught up in it. Just his pinky and ring finger, and since it was going so slow, and grandma acted so quickly to turn it off, no lasting affects. Just some scrapes. Then, and unfortunately, I have to blame this one on myself, I was in the shower and Jace thought it would be fun to open all the drawers on our dresser. Well, it got a little top heavy and tipped over dropping our 80 pound t.v. right on top of him. I jumped out of the shower, soaking wet, threw the t.v. off of him and he was crying, I was crying holding him, making sure there was no blood. Not only was there no blood, but no marks whatsoever. Over the next few days we waited for bruises to show up, but nothing. Wow! Blessed again.
Then just a few weeks ago, on our way to meet my family in Midway, we were hit by a huge truck while going probably 70 mph on the freeway. He hit our back right bumper which sent us fishtailing and then slammed head first into the median. We slid sideways for about 50 yards or so. The airbags went off and seatbelts kept us all safe. I hurt my knee somehow, maybe on the dashboard, and Brock hurt his thumb when his airbag deployed. I was really afraid for my baby since the seatbelt hit so hard right on my stomach so they had an ambulance come. Jace on the other hand was fine. He was a little shaken up and scared like Brock and I were. And again, after a couple of hours being monitered at the hospital we found out that I was fine, the baby was doing great, and we lucked out again. The first thing the cops and the witnesses said was that someone must have said their prayers, because they could not believe that our Jeep didn't roll. We have been so blessed.
We had really great holidays and ate way too much. The fact that I am 7 months pregnant didn't help. I just kept telling myself that I am going to get fat anyway, I may as well eat everything in sight! I have already gained 28 pounds! I am well on my way to surpass the 40 pounds from my first. Hopefully I'll lose it all again.
Well, that is our year. I hope this one is less eventful.
P.S. Until we get our computer fixed I won't be able to post pictures, so hopefully we'll do it soon.
