Ruby is coming soon.

I am the luckiest girl in the world. I am finally getting the butterflies of excitement. We are in June and Ruby should be here any day! I think the pix turned out great.

Summer fun. Had me a blast.

Mom and Dad hosted a fun FHE with great BBQ food, a lesson by Ray and some chilly night swimming. It was a great night that went smoothly. Myllyssa finally was able to meet the gang and now we just get to wait for Rubs to get here. I really appreciate the family who have embraced the open adoption life style and who support Brad and I. We are expecting Ruby any day now. I cant wait!

Brad has officially started nursing school while still working full time. He is a machine and I am constantly amazed at his sacrifice and ability to endure. I completely support him and can not wait for this trial in our lives to be over. I am tired of living paycheck to paycheck and just want to live our lives with lots of sleep and no drama. ON that note I am here to say that it has been quite hard to start being a single mom. I love working and staying busy and with my Nanny Job stopping, hair slowing down and having no friends and minimal family support. I feel a bit bored and overwhelmed. I will be grateful for the slowdown in life when Ruby comes this next week but still Brayden needs to stretch his legs and get outside. It is REALLY hot. I mean, I get anxiety even attempting the idea of going out. It will be a long summer that I am dreading while being home with limited sleep and trying to work the transition for one to two babies. Things with Myllyssa are great. She is a golden birth mom and I feel like we get along great and have fun. I wish her all the success in the world and she enrolls back in school and is starting her life again. I know she will do great things, she is smart and driven by passion.

Our new lives.

First off I have to send a big love out to my hubs for Mothers Day. We went out for breakfast and he got me a brand new kitchen toy called a Pressure cooker. Its a canner and crockpot combined. It makes beans and rice and meats that take all day to cook in 30 min. flat. I love it! We hosted dinner at our home and had a yummy ham and rolls from mom and some great salads. The ward celebrated us great and it was a good day. As for our new lives. Brad started nursing school this week. It has been a new change that has been hard on all of us. We were so used to having excess time together and Brays loves his Daddy. I get to see Brad for 30 min. in the am and Friday morning and all day Sunday. He starts his day at 8 and gets home the next day at 2 am. He is doing a program that is excelled so its a lot faster and more intense, but he seems to enjoy it. I am so grateful for a hard working husband that works so hard for us. He is the best. On a side note Ruby is trying to come early, so I get to watch the boys more so Myllyssa can have a break. I enjoy having friends for B. and we all know that I have tons of time to do so! Ruby can come any week now, and I am thinking that she may come while we are at Disney.
