Overwhelmed!

I haven’t posted in so long that I just don’t even know where to start. The reason being is our computer is sooo slow in uploading pictures and I've been waiting to get a new computer. But I guess I don’t need pictures to post, I'll do that later. Well we have been in California at my parents since the end of March for Troy to work. Unfortunately they didn’t have work for him until just a month before we need to leave though. It was nice having him here with me and Lyla but the amount of stress we've had with our finances is huge. The biggest was we had to pay in June our rent for our house in mesa and then a deposit and rent for the house we will be renting in Glendale! We just had to borrow money from our parents to do so, but of course pay them back! Anyway it was just a let down thinking we were going to make a lot of money before we went to medical school and it just didn’t work out that way :(


We did get a new house to rent in Glendale, which we are really excited about. It’s just a couple min. away from Troy's school and we've heard a lot of great things about the new ward we’ll be moving into. Another stress we have had is also trying to find a house to rent and move, all while we are in another state. Troy seriously is soooo amazing, let me just tell you all what he did for us.
Well in the beg. of June Troy drove out to pack up the house. His parents were so kind as to help him with all of this, not only did they pack up the WHOLE house but they also cleaned the entire new house from head to toe! The reason I didn’t go was not only was it going to be super hard traveling with Lyla but also she is so active I don’t think I would be ANY help to him. I seriously felt so awful that I couldn’t come and help him. He worked so hard! then not only did he do that but also he flew out this past Friday night after work, and moved sat morning with the help of friends and family. He did soooo much and I appreciated him for doing this sooo much. And not once did he even complain about doing all this hard work. I really have the best husband ever! Oh and the reason I didn’t help with the move was we couldn’t afford the buy 2 plane tickets! But we are moved into the new house and we are excited for this next chapter in our lives (well kind of) I guess I’m just trying not to think that I’ll be a single parent for the next 8 years of our lives.

Lyla now is 10 months old and is as active as ever! She is a very very happy little girl but she does make us tired. She gets into everything and just wants to explore.
She loves doggies and birdies. She even kind of says "doggie" and "birdie" too, it’s so cute. She just points at them and gets excited. She loves going outside and playing in her walker. She claps her hands when she’s happy or when Baby Einstein comes on. She dances when she hears music or even if you just give her a tune. She says mama and dada, baba, biry (birdy) dawy (doggie). She talks a lot in her own language, it’s so cute how she tries to talk to you and make noise. She is a really good eater, she LOVES grapes. She also likes her veggies and fruits and a lot of what we eat too. She is so friendly and will let anyone hold her. She has 2 bottom teeth and 1 top and another top trying to come through. She FINALLY sleeps at night, which for a while she kept getting earaches and one time her ear drum even burst, it was the saddest thing she was in so much pain. She was also pooping like up to 7 times a day so we switched her to soy and that did the trick. That even helped her to sleep at night! She also didn’t have any more gas that woke her up. She also takes 2 good naps during the day. It takes both me and Troy to change her and put clothes on her, we actually could use another hand; she just tries to roll all over the place and sometimes gets angry. She really likes her bath time. She is just one special girl, we love her so much and even though she is a handful I enjoy being her mom and taking care of her. We are just so lucky to be her parents and to raise her. I love her so much!!!!!!
