its been a long time

So its been a really really long time.....its been a soo happy but soo sad few weeks for us. For the happiness, we found out on Jan 13 that i'm pregnant! :) So we are very excited about that. Looking forward to another little one. We haven't really told many people...until now :) I'm only about 5 weeks along though, so I'll probably be due in September.
The sad news, on the 19th, I lost my job which was so devastating and probably couldn't have come at a worse time, all I have to say is that I am so thankful for family and friends! The day I found out, my parents came over with soooo many groceries for us I just broke down crying. Jays parents filled our vehicles with gas and also bought us a ton more things we needed - the essentials. They have been so supportive lately and have been trying to help us any way they can, and I am so thankful for them. All of my friends have been really supportive in trying to let me know whenever they find out about any openings and everything. I still haven't had any success in finding a job yet - but its so hard, especially at this economic time. I just keep praying and hoping for the best.
Brikayla's birthday is a week from today. She'll be two! Already...wow time flies. She is so smart for her age too. I actually had a friend thinking she was turning three because of how much she's talking. She says so many things, and she is becoming little miss attitude also. She's gonna be two going on five or six. lol.

Oh last Friday, Brikayla got ahold of her wipes, and was ripping them to pieces, and next thing I know she was like "get it out mom" and i couldn't see anything, but then I noticed a little glimpse of white up her left nostril. She had shoved a piece of it so far up there I could barely see it. She was 'trying to get a boogie' but I freaked out, Jay grabbed the tweezers and was able to pull it out... I thought we were going to be making a trip to the ER. But luckily, we didn't have to and looking back on it now, it was pretty funny. Well, I guess thats it for now. Best Wishes

update

So the last few weeks have been a little crazy, so i haven't had time to update. New Years eve we hung out with friends over at Eli and Kristens house, which was a lot of fun! We had a blast playing wii and Brikayla had fun staying up until midnight. On the first of January, We went bowling with Blake and Amanda and then they came over to our house and we played bowling on the wii until 4:30 in the morning. It was really fun. I hadn't stayed up that late for such a long time! over the weekend we played in the snow with Brikayla. Which she absolutely loved! She would have stayed out there all day if we would have let her! We also hung out with friends Braydi and Brandt over the weekend - we played win lose or draw, which is a way fun drawing game on the tv! Monday the 5th Amanda finally had Gage! He is soo stinkin cute! Blake and Amanda were so excited for him to be here! We went and saw them in the hospital that night. Tuesday the 6th, we had Jays parents over for dinner which was great! On Friday we went and hung out with friends at Blakes house and then they ended up coming over to our house and hanging out. Saturday was Lateisha's birthday dinner. It was a lot of fun, we brought Brikayla with us and everyone had fun playing with her. Sunday was dinner at my parents, it was delicious lasagna and for dessert, we had brownies and ice cream, Brikayla got ahold of the chocolate syrup and squeezed a whole bunch into her bowl and then she was covered in chocolate syrup! it was soo funny, and while she was doing it she was saying "i'm so happy" it was really funny- i hadnt ever heard her say that, so it was even more funny
