Our New Chapter

I often forget that the reason I even have a blog is to of course journal, and I think I have really been slacking on the end of my life. I mostly have been genuinely tired and unmotivated as I am barely getting out of my first trimester. I seriously forgot how exhausted I am all the time, and I forgot that without fail I get sick every night. And don't worry, I was constantly reminded by those around me that I have not been the same and I am pretty much grumpy. So, naturally I am so glad to feel almost myself again.

Todd started school a couple of weeks ago and he loves it....kind of loves it too much, like freaky loves it. It seriously is his calling in life to be a lawyer. He has been spending about 5-8 hours on average a day studying at the library, and that is including weekends. I am really proud of him for all his motivation and strength so far in the next chapter of his life. He is really happy with his decision, and if he's happy, then of course I'm happy.

Also adding to our new chapter in life we recently moved in with Todd's parents. It is SO much closer to school and of course helps out in the cost of living department. I am actually really loving it. Todd has been getting home between 7 and 8 so it is nice not to be home alone all that time and to have people to talk with and have my meals with. Berkeley is probably loving it the most. She has the same excitement every day to see Nana and Papa and Ashton and Layla and Aubrey....it never changes. Its very sweet. And to top it all off for her, her cousins come over about every day and she doesn't know what to do with herself she gets so excited. Overall we are very grateful for the opportunity to be living here in more ways than one.

Other than that, I am just counting the days for it to start cooling off so I can realize again why I love Arizona and why I passed up San Diego for this place. It will come soon I hope.
