a new beginning..

I have attempted the world of blogging a couple of times it seems. These were back in my early early college days.. prior to me having anything going on in my life that my poor family would be interested in reading about. But I feel that now circumstances are quite different and the family might actually be interested in my life that seems so far away from home.

So let's just catch up real quick... I'm living on the MS/AL line, at least 2 hours and 15 minutes from my closest family member (except Will, but might as well still be that far from him because I only see him when we're in Vicksburg at the same time-he lives 45 minutes from me). Archer turned 2 on May 7th and I am currently 10 weeks and 4 days pregnant with baby number 2.

I go back to the Dr Thursday for a baby/mommy checkup. I am hoping for good news. I feel like everything is going ok with the pregnancy because I am still feeling slightly uck. The extreme exhaustion has slacked off to just daily fatigue. The 400 degree fire in my GI tract, known as indigestion, has eased significantly. The nausea is occasional now. My biggest feat is making certain that this belly of mine doesn't get empty. When it's empty I'm sickly.

More good news is that WP graduates on August 8th from William Carey University in Hattiesburg with his B.S. degree in Health, Physical Education, and Recreation. I am one proud woman! He will be only the 2nd person in his family to ever have received a college degree. The job hunt has been very hard for him. It is stress and anxiety-inducing for all of us, him in particular. He has had several strong leads towards jobs but the state is lolly-gagging on setting a budget, therefore noone is hiring yet. He goes for an interview next week for a job at Camp Shelby doing something military related. That's not what we are shooting for but something is better than nothing.

Well guys, the stomach is getting empty and sickly. MUST. FIND. FOOD!
