Bye bye college.. you won't be missed!

So our lives got a little more than crazy for a quick second there and I haven't kept up with blogging or journal writing..fail. But guess what?! I graduated from college this past week and so now I'm going to be a writing fool (probably not but maybe). I took all my finals a week early just in case Hadlie decided she wanted to come the week of finals. So as of Wednesday  I am a college graduate in Finance. Chase will be done Tuesday and we will walk Friday at graduation! We have been married almost three years, "suffered" ;) 3 wrestling seasons, had Gracie, got pregnant again, moved six times (yupp count em')--all while taking at least 15 credit hours a semester in college. It hasn't been easy and I threatened multiple times that I was going to drop out haha but as I walked out of the testing center on Wednesday I couldn't help but cry tears of joy and true accomplishment. I may not be working or using my degree in the work force but what a blessing it is for our home and myself. We moved from Orem on Thursday (this was the happiest moment of my life) never to return. We will be staying with my parents until the December so that Chase can do his masters (boo right?) He has to have his Masters of Accounting before he starts his job and can get his CPA. We are squeezing his MACC in a tiny period so my parents want to help us so he doesn't have to work more than 20 hrs a week and can hopefully take the first test, of six, of the CPA in the fall. Let me just tell you my parents are saints, I don't think we will ever be able to repay them.

So catch up..

Hadlie- Is great! She is healthy and as far as we know doing great. I have had some bad chest pains and breathing problems the past week. Long story short I passed out and school and woke up in the ER after someone called an ambulance. So embarrassing. I just remember calling Chase to come get me because I couldn't drive because I literally couldn't breath. We think we figured it out and really the only way to tell is to have the baby, so fingers crossed. I am effaced almost 100%, dilated to a 2, and feeling contractions, A LOT. Weird thing is, I am not in a hurry to have this baby. Now that I am finally done with school I want some time to be with Gracie. My doctor was surprised I was at a two on Friday, with Gracie I was at a 1 and 60% effaced and almost instantly went into labor. So I guess we are just on baby watch now!

Gracie- Gracie is almost 22 months and honestly she gets cuter by the day. She also gets sassier.. haha She threw her first tantrum the other day when Chase and I took her outside for a walk. It threw us off so much we just started laughing haha She is learning every day and has been in Heaven since staying with my parents. Since she is the only grandchild-- she is rotten to the core because she is so spoiled. Having a sibling is going to do her some good. Her best friend is grandpa, she follows him all over the house, gives him the most love, and cries so hard if he leaves without her. Needless to say he is wrapped around her little finger.

We are alive and great! We feel so blessed to have made it alive through school and can't wait to see whats ahead for our little family.



She was dead asleep when we went to get my little sister to take her to lunch and stayed sitting up asleep like this the whole time haha

have fun at school daddy!
