A LOT happened in 2012 for us!
-Tyson was completely unemployed for 6 months. this sucked, but gave me perspective. I will be less judgemental for the rest of my life.
-Tyson got a commercial pilots licence!
-Tyson worked for an insurance company "selling" (but not really) medicare policies to people. It was temporary and he was let go 3 days after Christmas.
-I found out I was pregnant in the begining of Feburary. I got a perscription at my first apointment when I was 7 weeks, and was able to keep the sickness under control mostly! I was hospitalized 3 times and supposed to be hospitalized 5 times but opted out twice. I was on bed rest for 6 weeks. Luke came 3 weeks early and weighed 9lb 6oz on september 29th. Although there was tribulation we are so grateful for our lovely and healthy Luke, and that we are able to get pregnant very easily when we know so many couples and I'm sure many we don't know of that are struggling with fertility.
-I quit my minimum wage job at kohls woohoo!
-I tried out child care full time and did not like it. It was stupid on my part to think I could work 50 hours a week when Luke was 4 days old.
-We went on a vacation to Bear Lake for a week in July and made some amazing memories, compliments of Tyson's grandma and grandpa Johnson!
-I worked the finances and was able to help Tyson to get a 5 weeks program done to recieve full licences to be a Flight Dispatcher. last week he passed and finished all of his license tests! I'm so proud of him! He will be taking the next Dispatcher job offered to him. If you know of any openings email them to him, but only if you want us to live near you lol. :)
-Abby became a big sister and she is an amazing one. she is ALWAYS willing to help make luke happy when he is crying and is always loving towards him. this really brings tears to my eyes sometimes. (especially after hearing horror stories from other parents about the trouble of new sibblings).
-We helped my parents update their house a lot, including painting half of it (including ceilings and base boards and crown moldings) and helping arrange for the other half to be professionally done, switching every single outlet and light switch and plates etc. from faded dream yellow to WHITE. installing new light fixtures and remodeling a bathroom.
-swimming many hours in my parents' community pool.
-start working as my mom's assistant to help with the elderly woman that lives with them.
-I got a calling to be a permenant teacher for the CTR 5 class at church
-Tyson got a calling to be the financial clerk
-We became an aunt and uncle to our first nephew Gavin
- it snowed in texas on christmas day, just for tyson and me :)
Well I'm sure a whole lot more happened but right now those seem like the highlights!!! mostly I'm so grateful to have first world country problems and to have such a wonderful family. I hope 2013 brings awesome things!
