so, we have had a little change of plans.
after tons of stress, tears, talking, etc. jd had decided not to go to optometry school this fall.
this was a really tough decision for him to make, but i'm proud of him for making it before it was too late. he has been super worried about leaving me and the baby and really wants to be here to take care of me. what a sweetie! it was really hard for him to leave us here and try to concentrate on school. i felt a little uneasy about san antonio from the beginning, but i didn't want to say too much and ruin it for jd. i thought maybe i was just being a baby about moving. i also don't think we really thought about it that much since they accepted him...it just seemed like it was our only choice so we went. i finally told jd i would support whatever he wanted to do, but i kinda wanted him to stay and we were both so glad.
he also started having second thoughts about optometry. he is not 100% sure he wants to spend $250,000 and come out not making enough to pay off the loan for 10+ years. i'm just glad he decided this now before we are too far in. so, we are still moving this weekend, but we will be crashing with my mom for a few weeks until we find somewhere to live. jd is thinking about going back and getting his mba or something. the school also allowed him to defer his acceptance until next year if he decides to go still.
i feel a lot better about things now that jd will be here. we still have a lot of things to figure out, but we both feel such a sense of relief. so, you may be seeing a little more of us!
just in case you need a laugh after all this serious business...
emi didn't even care we put these on her
we have almost no pictures of us together, so we decided we needed a new one
my cousins are here from canada and we have had tons of fun hanging out...and dog piling on jd!

I hope everything works out well!
I was curious as to why you needed a vehicle good in the snow ;) I'm happy things are working out and falling into place before you are too deep in to get back out! Please call me if you need anything! Good luck with all the new and change of plans I'm sure it'll all work out wonderfully!!
We are glad to have you around still! JD and I can take the same course load at WGU! Woot Woot!
That is nice that he made the decision now...and even nicer that you get to stay...you will love being by your families..especially with a baby coming!
PS - How did you learn how to make such great cakes? I want to do an awesome cake for Emerie's 1st birthday. I know that's not until January, but I figure it will take me that long to learn! :) Anyways, I thought I had remembered seminars or classes you took, etc...And I'm just looking to see what resources you've used. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I am glad everything is working out. :) It is so awesome to be expecting a baby, but I have felt like our lives have been placed upside down and I can't wait until everything calms down!! Just keep taking deep breaths and telling yourself that it will all be okay. I have to do that a lot!
so glad to hear everything is settled...sort of. now you can come visit again in Wyoming. happy baby growing.
