The MIDDLE

So if you didn't know I am PREGNANT! with TWINS!! A BOY and a GIRL! Best NEWS EVER! We honestly couldn't be happier. And I swear I will put up prego pics as soon as possible! I am 16 weeks and 6 days! (apparently with twins they count the days a lot more than they do with singletons!) TOMORROW I will be 17 weeks! We are due on Sept. 9th. ERIC's BIRTHDAY! BUT the Dr. said they will most likely come a couple weeks early. Which is kind of scary! So I am trying to do everything the Doc says so I can be the best patient in the world! So just to kid of catch up other than the whole we will be doubling our family thing... We are still in Kissimmee, Florida. We LOVE, absolutely LOVE our ward family here! I think that growing up in the bubble know as Utah/Idaho, I took ward family for granted. And in Utah our ward kind of sucked. We never felt really apart of the ward. And here we are needed! There is so much missionary work going on here it is crazy! We love all three sets of missionaries in our ward! Eric is the Teachers Quorm Adviser. And I am the Personal Progress Leader for the Young Women. I LOVE my young women so much! Seriously cannot believe how awesome they are! Most of them wake up @ 430 everyday so they can get ready and go to seminary 30 to 45 min away from their house! THEN go to a long day of school! THEN any other activities that they are involved in!! They seriously ROCK. My family was here to visit just last week! And it was so fun hanging out with them! We went to Gatorland, and a couple baseball games and the parks of course. But the best part about having them here was just sitting around on the patio talking and laughing! I miss them so much! They are such a blessing in my life. And it really has been so hard being so far away from them. Especially now that we are adding two little munchkins to the mix I am sure it will be even more difficult. The reason we moved here in the first place was becuase Eric had this great job opportunity. That kind of fell through. UGH. Love when that happens. :) But he was able to find a really good job with Jackson Therapy. Basically he recruits Dr.s and Therapists and Nurses for offices. He really likes it so far. And they seem to really like him. And that is good. BUT because he took this great job, it looks like we will be staying here for a while. At least a year from now. But it could be longer. I am so torn because I miss being close to both of our families, but I absolutely LOVE all of the people we have met here! No one ever tells you all of the stress that comes with the knowledge of starting your own family! There have been so many things that I think about and just stress over! And since we found out it was twins that has DOUBLED! :) So has our JOY. But yesterday I was talking to a good friend and she said "Aubrey, Babies Bring Blessings!" It was the perfect thing I needed to hear! So from here on out I will be less stressed, more humble, more prayerful, and let Heavenly Father take it from here. SO I have always loved Jimmy Eat World. And while packing and listening to Pandora this song came on, Acoustic none the less. (I am a sucker for anything acoustic) And I feel like it fits perfect to my situation! :) well maybe not PERFECT. but pretty dang close!
Hey, don't write yourself off yet It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on. Just try your best, try everything you can. And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away. It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride. Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright). Hey, you know they're all the same. You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in. Live right now. Yeah, just be yourself. It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else. It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride. Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright). It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride. Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright). Hey, don't write yourself off yet. It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on. Just do your best, do everything you can. And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say. It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride. Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright). It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride. Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).
