2 Years!!

So yesterday was Pat and my 2 year anniversary! I can't believe it's been that long already! We ended up going to dinner at a place called Granite City, very nice place, while grandma and grandpa Carney watched Lexa. It was nice to have a quiet dinner, without having to rush, with just the two of us. Pat gave me a gift card to a nice day spa and I am soo excited to get a manicure, pedicure and a message! I gave Pat a plaque with a picture of us on our wedding day with a little personal note etched on the top of the picture. I absolutely Love it and will have to display it in our new home, in Iowa, when we get settled in.

Airplanes- UGH!!

I officially HATE airplanes and airports! Ugh!!! So as we are finalizing our plans to get out of Rexburg, we've decided that Pat is going to drive to Iowa and I will stay with my grandma who lives in Utah for a few days, then fly with Alexa back to Iowa, where Pat will meet us. This normally would be be better than driving all the way from Rexburg, ID to Cedar Rapids, IA with a 9 month old baby, however, I have had way too many flights with a baby BY MYSELF might I add, to never want to fly again. First, Alexa and I flew to Cali in Aug. when she was a month old. Then we flew to Colorado for Christmas. In February, Lexa and I flew to Houston, TX. THEN...at the end of Feb. we flew to Cedar Rapids, IA to be with Pat. All these trips were great seeing family and whatnot, but now I have to deal with another 8 hours of airplane flying by myself. I guess it wouldn't be AS bad to have Pat there with me to help but he is not. I have to carry on the plane, a wiggly child in my arms, a diaper bag, and a pump (if you dont know what that is, dont worry about it...) Then have to check a bag for both me and Alexa. So that would be a grand total of 8 airplane rides (to and from) NOT counting the flippin layovers, which I really should count as another airplane ride but I dont even know how many layovers I've actually had. Anyway, ugh I'm just fed up with airplanes and airports I could scream!

My Big Girl

My little girl isnt so little anymore...she is starting to stand (with some help of course). Its crazy how fast she is growing!! She's almost standing like a PRO!

Marion, Iowa

For those of you wondering where Marion, Iowa is, (where we recently got an apartment) I have decided to include a map just in case you were wondering. Hope this helps :o)

We found an Apartment! YAY!!

So Pat and I have officially decided to move to Iowa and had the daunting task of finding an apartment. But after looking through many, many apartments we Finally found one today that is perfect for us! It has everything we wanted including a swimming pool, a playground and the place is CHEAP (which is always good)!! It's located in marion, Iowa and kinda far out in the country but it's still not too far from the mall :o) Here are a few pics of the place...

Best Friends

Alexa's first friend, Brylie Thurman...they are so cute!! Brylie is 5 months and Alexa is 7 1/2 months

YAY!

I'm so excited! I get to see Pat again! Alexa and I are flying to Cedar Rapids to stay with Pat for a little over a month and I am so glad! I have been so stressed out lately with everything that has been going on with the potential move, and not having a husband to help with Alexa, who is a Handful these days!! and on top of that not having any body to hang out with...my highlight of the week is going to church so I can talk to people and be sort of social, sad I know :o( Well off to packing....
