Wow, because I usually do my blog posts in advance, I feel like I haven't blogged for quite a while, but I feel justified in it because life has been a little crazy as of late. Here is a little update on us. Jacob, Rachel and I came down to St. George last week on Saturday and spent a few days just playing and hanging out. Thursday, I took Jacob to Vegas early in the morning so he could catch his flight to Texas. It was really hard for me to leave him there at the airport. I have had so many fears and worries concerning this separation. I've been really worried about being a “single mom” in a sense. Rachel and I have been doing okay I guess. It has been a rough couple of days since Jacob left. Rachel is usually a really happy baby, but the past few days she has been whinier than usual. She hasn't been sleeping very well. Her naps during the day have been ridiculously short, and my sweet baby who usually sleeps mostly through the night has been waking up I don't even know how many times during the night, but I do know she has been spending more time in my bed than in hers which is totally not normal. I know she has been missing her daddy a lot. On Friday night Rachel was fussing a lot and I didn't know what to do to make her happy and I was talking to Jacob on the phone and I put him on speaker phone so he could talk to Rachel and as soon as she heard her daddy's voice, she stopped fussing and started staring at the phone. She started grinning at it to, like she knew that it was her daddy talking to her from that little black box!
My family has been so good to me letting Rachel and me stay with them. They have all been willing to help with Rachel and I have been so appreciative to them, but it is kinda hard living in someone else's house. I am so glad that I could come and live with them though. It is nice to have to help and support through this difficult time! I know it has only been a couple of days since Jacob left but it feels like it has been so much longer. I am missing him like crazy! I'm so glad he is my eternal companion! He is such a good husband and an amazing daddy to our little girl! I can hardly wait until we get to go visit him!
A little more in the way of news for our family, yesterday was oldest nephew Tolman's birthday. He just turned 8! I can hardly believe how big he is! I still remember going to see him in the hospital the day he was born! It is really fun to be here and to get to see all of my nieces and nephews that live here! We had a family dinner yesterday for Tolman's birthday and for my Grandma's birthday. Everyone came over to my parent's house and it was completely crazy and also completely fun! It was so fun to see everyone and the food was good too! Also we recently found out that both of my sisters-in-law are expecting girls! That will make 4 grandkids on the Bulloch side and all of them are girls! We are so excited to meet their little babies! Something else happening this summer is Jacob's little sister Katie is getting married! I'm so happy for her. I haven't gotten to know her fiancé very well, but I can tell that he makes her happy. It is going to be a busy summer here in Southern Utah, and I say bring it on. I'm ready to have some fun with my family!
