Waiting to Move

Waiting to move, I feel like this has been a constant feeling since December.  We do know that for sure we are moving to Vernal. In under two weeks probably....but what are we moving into? who knows. and this stresses me out to no end. It is so frustrating looking for somewhere to live in Vernal. Because everything is so very expensive! We really would like a 3 bed 2 bath. We will be there for the next 2 years plus whatever. But I would also really like a backyard that is fenced in. I would also like a place to grow a garden. But to even just find a town home with those specifications is usually over 1100 a month. A house would be over 1500. We did see one place that was 3b 21/2b 1300 sqft for 950 but it is right next to a super busy road and there are no sidewalks so we would have to drive everywhere. not my cup of tea I love to walk. So I sit here an wait. we cant even start looking at places until Ronnie gets his PCS brief and then we can go and look. (plus right now he is at AT) So I sit trying to have faith and patience that Heavenly Father is watching out for us and that everything will work out for the best. 

On the other front we are Potty Training!!! Hurray lol. Amanda is doing really good so far. It is day 2 yesterday she had some accidents. (thank goodness for a diaper sprayer if for no other reason than potty training) We got some Andes mints as rewards for pooping in the potty. Kaden has been pooping in the potty every chance he gets lol. Amanda received one mint yesterday which is pretty good for day one. It would all go smoother if I would actually listen to the promptings....sigh. 

Also Amanda is sleeping in her own big girl bed. With Kade we flip-flopped back and forth on when to move him to his own bed. so his whole life he was frustrated with it. Amanda has co-slept until 3 nights ago. When I moved her to her big girl bed. First night she woke up 4 times but only needed me to help her back to sleep once. 2nd night she woke up 2 times needing help back to sleep once. and It was the same last night. So she is doing awesome. She has never fought it and when she wakes up she just calls for me to come to her. 

I am 19 weeks now. We will be getting our big ultrasound next week. So we are all excited for that. Kaden is very excited :) It will be fun to have him there.

That does sound stressful. It sounds like Amanda is doing such a good job! Good thing she has Kaden setting such a good example for her :) I hope you guys find just what you are looking for in Vernal. I know it is hard to find a place there that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. That's where we thought we were moving before we got the job out here.

My friend Lori Smith moved to Vernal not too long ago. The joy of moving... If you've read my blog you know we sold our house. We just signed a 6 month lease on a townhouse today. We tried not to be too picky since it will be just 6 months (we'll be looking at existing homes or possibly build) but it's been stressful. Good luck to u guys!!
