June is almost done. Psh! How is this summer flying past me so much?? It feels like it hasn't officially started yet. I am trying to get to the pool more often while we have one right outside our apartment door. But with a baby, things are so different! It's either nap time or something in the way. I can't seem to get out and enjoy the sun, but I should try and work on that! I think it would be so good for Graham to enjoy and explore the outdoors too. He is so alll over the place, and wants to put everything in his mouth. I definitely get really paranoid about him playing on the ground when we are not in our apartment. And being outside, I can't control whats on the ground and what he will find! So I feel like I need to watch his every move wherever we go. One of these days he's going to eat a leaf or a bug or something. Haha! Like I said, your life changes when you have a baby!
Steve is going through a slowww phase at work right now. At this point we don't know if we are staying in Dallas or not, because they still haven't got the contract for the bid. We have waited so long to find out and it's getting strung out even longer! Wahh. Steve and the other people in the office are trying to keep busy as best as they can, but really there is just not a whole lot going on. He has been free enough to come home early some days, and hey I'm not complaining about that!
We have been making big lifestyle changes lately! Like, seriously. We are attacking our student and credit card debt, once and for all baby!! But I am going to write a separate post about that topic, because it would flood this one haha. But all I will say for now is that we are so much happier now than we have ever been before! That should be a good enough teaser, eh?
I have made some personal changes too! I really want to live a more spiritual lifestyle. I just haven't taken the time to focus on that, and I know that when I do there is a significant difference in my life. Life seems to be put more in perspective. There has been a lot happening in the world lately, and being a sensitive person, it can bring me down sometimes. I know that if I refocus myself and my priorities, those feelings of sadness and hopelessness disappear! I am truly so grateful for that!
It has been so long since I have ready The Book of Mormon the whole way through. But there just doesn't seem to be enough time in the day for me to get through it! So I have come up with a way to fix that :) I downloaded the LDS Library app and I'm listening to the Book of Mormon! I seriously love love love it! It is so perfect, I listen non-stop. Graham probably gets ignored a little more than usual because sometimes I am so invested in listening to the stories! Just kidding. The main thing is that I can multitask. And multitasking is key when it comes to juggling life with your little ones!
Texas is starting to feel like home to us now, and we are getting to know and love the people in our new ward too! Yay for making friends!! We miss our families a lot though, it's so hard sometimes for me. It makes me feel better that we will see them soon, and the fact that Brittany is so close is so comforting too! Haha it's like I can reach out and almost touch them from here, but they are still a little too far away. Poop!
Okay, one more thing! Steve and I just so happen to love anything that involves a project! Us working on a project together is cute to us. Haha, I'm serious! It's like when you see that couple that's disgustingly adorable when playing basketball with each other. Yeah, that's us! Working with each other is one of the things that brings us closer and helps us loosen up and have fun! Right now we are working on a big project, and we are refinishing a set of tables and chairs! It's a lot of work, but I am excited to see how it will look in the end!!
