Familiar Places

My Mom took me out to my favorite Vegan restaurant in Upland, The Loving Hut. It is always a treat and as I would like to try everything there, I always end up ordering the same thing because I don't want to miss out on my favorite meal. Garden Chow Mein. It is the best you will ever have. I top it with as much hot chili sauce as I can handle in one sitting. I eat it and sweat. As much as I love to travel and learn about new places, there is nothing like being in the town you grew up. I didn't realize how hard it would be to leave until I actually did move far away. I guess that's just how it has to be when you start living in other places. Even if I moved back to Rancho area I would miss where we are now. I miss Germany, the Mountains, Los Angeles, Visalia and Murrieta. That's just life. But I must say, It's really cool living in so many diverse places.

 

We had a few minutes before my Mom had to go back to work so we ended up dropping by my old Rock Climbing gym. Hangar 18. They added a few new additions to it. My heart was pounding. Hangar was a place I went to everyday for about 2 years. Believe it or not back then I could climb the rock wall with just my hands, that's right NO FEET! I will have to wait till the baby to try to reach that goal again. 

I found that my maternity outfits will from now on be leggings and a cool top. It is the most comfortable because let me tell you, jeans don't fit anymore.

 

I really hope Everly will like rock climbing! I can't wait to start again. 

Everly Love, a little post for a little human

The thought of having our little girl in just 4 months or less is just insane to Joshua and I. We always talk about how crazy it will be to have her in our house or in our car. Which of course she has already been in both those places for a while now but it will be so crazy to finally get to meet her OUTSIDE the womb. I wonder what she will look like and how she will act. It's crazy to know that she will be half me and half Josh. She will also resemble some other family members and that is just so cool. I have to admit I was pretty afraid in the beginning to give birth, especially in a hospital, but the Lord has given me so much peace and I feel in control and I know that Joshua will be there right by my side. It will also be the day that we get to meet our little girl. Not just the day of pain. I still need to work on getting my body strong and doing Yoga. Everything is so much easier when I am not throwing up all the time. Feeling Evie kick is so cool and it makes everything so much more real. Joshua and I can't wait to see her and teach her. She will bring so much joy into our lives and so many others lives. The Lord is so good to bless us with this baby. I pray that she wants to follow Him every day of her life. I keep having dreams about what it is life to finally meet her and also what it's like to be a Mom. Right now she is 11 inches long and a little over a pound. I have a little less than 4 months to grow her at LEAST 4 pounds heavier. So crazy to think. This time is going to go by so fast. 

I'm sure you've heard, WE ARE HAVING A BABY!

Quick update as short as possible:

Since the last I have blogged about was Ireland, and I apologize, there is so much more that has happened in our adventure......

January: We came home, visited family and celebrated Christmas with them. We moved into Joshua's parents trailer in Arroyo Grande and looked for work.

February: Joshua got pregnant and I found a job, wait..... other way around. Joshua got a job at the Dolphin Bay resort in Pismo beach. We also found a place to live in Nipomo. 

March: Found out I was pregnant and told our family! Made awesome friends in Nipomo and got to spend a lot more time with our family that lives on the coast. Started getting REALLY sick and throwing up everyday. 

April: Struggled to get out of bed and keep food down. Jude, our nephew was born. 

May: Joshua and I celebrated being married for our first year by staying in Santa Barbara for a night. Found out the sex of the baby. A GIRL! 

June: My momma turned a year older. 

July: I turned a year older, stopped throwing up so much and could feel the baby move all the time. Got a job at a coffee shop in Nipomo called The Hideout. 

We wanted to name our baby girl Merlot Love Sarr but we changed her name to...
