Filler Post

Sorry for not posting lately, we have had our hands full. We have been doing stuff, but truthfully I haven't taken many pictures. Here are a few updates to fill in until I get some more pictures.
-We moved: we had the opportunity to move to a bigger place for a smaller price so we took it. It is in a different ward than we were in before which made us sad, but the new ward has been warm and welcoming.
-We moved: seriously guys, we hate moving and so it took us a while just because we could. We started bringing stuff over a few weeks ago (or more) and then a week ago did a big haul and that's when we started living here, but then we still had stuff at the old place that we finally got all cleared out yesterday.
-Nicholas is sick: :( as far as I can tell it's just a stomach bug because his only other symptoms are no appetite, extreme crankiness and high fevers. But this afternoon he sat on the couch and just cried inconsolably for about an hour and tooted every few minutes. It made me want to cry with him.
-We LOVE our new place: It's awesome. We feel very comfortable here and Nicholas has loads of fun running up and down the stairs and having a lot more freedom around the house. He especially loves the backyard and says "side! side!" when he wants to go out. Today, after his crying thing, we let him go out and play with bubbles in the backyard, and then Tyler gave him the hose and turned it on and let him run free. LOL it was the funniest thing I've seen in a while.
-I have been traumatized by the bugs though: If you know me, you understand that this is basically an obsession that I cannot control. It's called a phobia, they have real names for stuff like this. I am not making it up. There have been 5 small black spiders, one medium white spider, one giant cockroach, two small something-or-others, and one gross looking dead thing that I never want to see again. All after the guy came and sprayed. PS- did you know, because I was not aware that the bug spray is not effective on spiders? I am proud to report that I only freaked out twice from all that.
-I finished a semester of online classes: I took two classes for an 8 week semester and got two A's. My next two classes start in a couple of weeks.
-Tyler has his Associates!: He got his grades in, and passed both classes (Duh!) and so he is done with school for the rest of the summer, and starts at UF at the end of August! We are so excited, and happy, and I am so proud of him. He has worked so hard since we came out to Florida and gotten such good grades while working more than 40 hours a week and so this milestone is exciting. He has about 2 years at UF and then he'll have his bachelors.

 Alright, that's all I can think of right now. No pictures. I will post pics of our new place this week, and if he will get out of his cranky funk I'll post pics of Nicholas's cuteness. :)
