The last couple months.

So I know it has been forever! Sorry to disappoint everyone....I know you wake up and the first thing you do is check our blog...but again....no new post. So here it is!!! I guess alot of little things have happened but not alot of big things except for Thanksgiving. I am still working at a job that is, well, a job, and I feel the guilt every night when I go to sleep that I am not looking for a better job for myself. Dustin just finished his semester (just one more to go) after a pretty easy going semester if you dont include the finals. Dont get me wrong, he worked hard, but he did not have as many credits which makes it easier. I have to be honest, I miss finals. I miss running around like crazy and memorizing too many things but still feeling like I was progressing and stimulating myself. I was one of those freaks who loved school and I really miss it now. It is going to be super weird when are are out of a college town in 4 months. Dustin is still doing his music website, but with the holidays, traffic has gone down. I really hope that activity goes back up because I have high hopes for this site.

So back to Thanksgiving, Dustin's family came to our house for the big day. Everything went well. All the food tasted great, the turkey was perfect (in my opinion) and we loved having company. Unfortunately, our little nephew was not doing to hot with our cold weather so he had to leave early but we got alot of good video of him. Also, we were able to take the family to see Temple square and of course it was beautiful.

Let me think....other news....well last night Dustin and I drove around for 2 hours looking at Christmas light, drinking hot chocolate, and listening to Josh Groban. That drive definitely got me in the Christmas mood. Also, my extended family extended us an invitation to come to their house this Sunday for a Christmas party. They are so sweet and it is going to be nice to be with family around the holiday. Also, we finally saw the new twilight movie which was good. A little cheesy but good. We also saw star trek, and yes, it was as good as everyone said. We have finally been able to catch up on movie now that the season of time off is vacation is upon us.

I have to be honest, this time of year is a tad hard for me. First off, Dustin and I have wanted a baby for over a year now since our molar pregnancy fiasco. I keep finding out that everyone who is younger, has been married for shorter time then I have, and some people I just dont like (gasp, I know) are pregnant. It is just not fair. I have to get my blood drawn in a couple weeks to check back up on my progress to make sure no little cancer has come back. Ohhhhhh maybe in a couple years we can have a kid. Also, Dustin is stressed about graduating in April because the economy still sucks and we are getting screwed because of it. I am just hoping and praying that something pops up for us. I dont care where we live....I just want Dustin to be happy with a job. Okay, thanks guys for letting me vent. I promise, I really am grateful around this time of year.

Also, Dustin and I got each other the same Christmas presents this year. We both got a Wii for each other! That probably sounds confusing....we just got 1 Wii, and we both went in on it. Yay, we are finally cool :) So we are playing alot of mario cart and getting pretty good at it. All we need now are to invite friends to come over and play. Also, my family was kind enough to send Christmas gifts ever though WE ASKED THEM NOT TOO!! That is what family is for right....to not listen and give you gifts :) We have had fun decorating this year. I love my 3 foot tree and I love Christmas decorations. We keep our Christmas tree lights on all the time....I am surprised we have not burned down the house.

Anyways, I hope everyone has had happy holidays and been able to spend time with family....whether immediate or extended. I truly am grateful for my Savior and for this time of year! I have been truly blessed with an amazing husband, the means to get an education, the gospel in my life, a roof over my head, and food on the table. Thank you friends and family for enriching my life.

  2. Cute post Meredith. I can completely empathize with you on how tough it is to live in Provo (aka baby town) when you want a baby so bad. You're amazing and I'm glad I know you. Have a Merry Christmas!

  3. Hey Meredith...this is Terriann ( I was your neighbor our first semester of collage). I found your blog via Helena...or maybe Brandi I don't remember.

    Anyway, I just wanted to say that I know how you feel. We already have one kid, but we've been trying to get pregnant again for over a year too. Sometimes I feel like...wait a minute, that 15 year old drug addict can have a kid but not me?! What the heck?! Or... seriously, they just got off birth control last month and they're already pregnant? Obviously our situations aren't the same, but sometimes it helps just knowing that you're not the only one who feels that way.
