Lots of BIG Changes In Just A Few Months

Take Us To The End of 2013

So the biggest thing that happened to Nyte last year was that he learned how to walk. Granted, he was taking steps on his own a few days after he started to crawl. We actually thought he was going to skip crawling all together just because he had such a strong interest in walking. He had some bumps and bruises in the learning process, but he got over his inhibitions soon enough. Now we have to keep up with him and nothing is safe…

As for me, I got my ganglion cyst removed in October! Let’s just say that was a VERY expensive nap. We are pretty sure it has come back since then. It’s either in the same place as before or on a different tendon. But the surgery was only supposed to have a 70% success rate so I’m not too bummed…well…maybe a little since the surgery cost over $1k.

Traz is working hard at Intermountain Electronics. He helped bring out the latest catalog for the company and has been improving many products for the better.

This past Christmas we got to go to California! I hadn’t been home since Traz and I got married. It was a long drive and Traz was exhausted when we got there but we had a lot of fun. It was good to see family and Nyte got to meet everyone from my side of the family for the first time! He also really enjoyed being outside in December since it was still too cold to go outside in Price at that time. Our big trip there was to the San Diego Zoo! Traz loved being outside all day two days before Christmas and Nyte really enjoyed the animals. All around it was a good time. 

BIG CHANGE #1:

The first big change? I’ll give you a hint….it makes me get bigger each week! That’s right! Baby Wayman #2 is due July 28^th! Nyte is going to be a big brother to a little BOY! We still haven’t chosen a name for him yet but we are working on it. Ideas are in the works though!

It’s interesting to see how Nyte reacts to things like a baby. He knows what a baby is, but doesn’t grasp the concept that there is one in my stomach. He also has a REALLY hard time with doctors doing anything to me.  Traz had to take him out of the second ultrasound because he was so upset, and I have to bring a movie for him to watch while my doctor checks the heartbeat and such. It’s kind of cute how protective he is over me. The only bump (pun may or may not be intended) in the road of this pregnancy is that I had a low lying placenta at 18 weeks. But I got a third ultrasound and I am good to go on that front! I do need to drink more fluids. Other than that, I get to run (soon waddle) after Nyte until the baby comes!

BIG CHANGE #2:

This change involves big debt. We bought a house! We are very excited about this since we have been working towards this for a little over a year now. We had a great real estate agent, who also happens to be our Stake President! He was very patient with us in when we were able to meet and what houses we wanted to see. We saw some that were good and some that were terrifying.  In the end, we chose our 4 bedroom, 2 bath house that was just down the street from where we used to live. Literally, you walk to the end on the street that we lived on and you can see our new house across the street from that corner. It’s great not only for the easy move, but also for the fact that we stay in the same ward for church.

The layout of the house is almost like a split home, but with more of an entryway. You enter into the living room (with vaulted ceilings that we LOVE). The kitchen and dining room are to your right on that same level. You go up a half flight of stairs and you come to two bedrooms and a bath (which is attached to one of the rooms). You go down a half flight of stairs and come to two rooms and another bath (unattached). Then you go down another half flight of stairs and you find an unfinished basement. That’s where the washer and dryer will go (which is coming this week!). The house has a few things that need fixing, but nothing that won’t take longer than a weekend. Oh! We also have a small fenced in yard! It needs work as well but I love having a place that Nyte can run around in and still be safe.

The stairs! Two bedrooms upstairs, two downstairs. One bathroom on each level

It's sideways but this is our shower and deep bathtub :)

Upstairs bedroom that will be the nursery.

Downstairs room that is the office.

The kitchen! (yes, the pic is sideways.)

The kitchen....so small but oh well

The yard! Yeah, those weeds are now gone gone GONE!

Other than that, we celebrated 3 years of marriage on the 15^th! It’s amazing that we have come so far and have done so much. We are both very different  people now but it’s all been for the better. I can’t imagine my life without Traz and I thank Heavenly Father  every day for bringing him into my life.

Traz also had his 26^th birthday on the 17^th. Nothing big. Just some pizza, and ice cream with a Peep (his favorite) and a birthday candle on top. He enjoyed it because it was simple, and I enjoyed it because it wasn’t too simple J

So that brings things up to date for the most part.  We are happy, busy and exhausted.

But we wouldn’t have it any other way….
