Time for some updates

I know posts without pictures are kinda boring (at least that's what Nate says) but I just wanted to give a few updates since we are leaving soon and I have TONS to do and I don't know when I will blog again.

You would think I would be doing some of that TONS of stuff but blogging trumps packing.

Me: I am doing ok. I am feeling better since I finally talked to my doctor and he told me I can take Sudafed. I have only taken one pill but I already feel a difference. No more nose drips. It was really gross. I have had that annoying sciatic nerve pain lately. I hate to even say anything about it or complain knowing that Erin will be reading my blog and is probably thinking...oh really? You wanna talk back pain. Sorry Erin but maybe if I complain a little then it will feel better. It just started a few days ago and it sucks. I remember having it with Zoee and it's one of those things that make you really wonder why you got pregnant in the first place. I go to the doctor tomorrow and I think he is going to take a look down there so I will see if anything is going on. Probably not but I am curious to know. I feel more and more tired everyday. I think it might have a lot to do with the fact that I am chasing a hyper 2 year around all day. I have pretty much given up on entertaining her and usually suggest we watch a movie or read books. It is easier than crawling around playing.

Nate: We have heard more for NLVPD in the last two weeks than we have heard the entire time we have been waiting. I think his file just got lost in the shuffle of getting a new background officer and stuff. His new officer has called a few times asking questions and getting more info. He called yesterday and told Nate that they would know on January 9th. He said they would be making calls pretty late that night so if we hear something we are good to go. If we don't hear anything then Nate will be getting a letter saying thanks but no thanks. If he gets that letter he has to start the process all over again. His file is only good for one year from when he applied. If he does not make it into this academy, the next one will be after it has been a year since he applied so he will not be eligible. Crap. PLEASE PRAY FOR JAN 9TH!! We will keep you all updated.

Zoee: She is seriously a little terror. She has tried my patience so much lately. She is so stinking cute sometimes but other times she drives me crazy! It's hard. I feel bad because maybe she is just wanting my attention and I am just too tired. I try really hard to play with her and read with her and just spend time together but she is just so hyper and crazy. She is good for the most part but I think it's true what I have heard, 3 is worse than 2. I am beginning to believe that because she was so easy but the closer she gets to 3 the harder she is. Bless me with patience. I told Nate that I am pretty much shit out of luck because Zoee is on my nerves and the one she isn't on, Gus has that one covered. Dang kids.

I think that's about it. I have been busy doing laundry and trying to gather things together to go home. I am so excited to be going home. I will miss being here and having Christmas with the Garrards (yes, Erin...I do feel a tiny bit sad) but I am super stoked to see my family and friends and have Christmas at home this year.
