Turn and make a change

Sorry no pics but I thought I should update since it's been quite a while. We just got our internet up and running in the new house a couple days ago and finally went and picked up the computer to be able to update anything. Plenty of changes and struggles here in the Shillig 3 home.

We recently finished our move to our hometown of FP. We are officially moved in now and I've been a busy bee trying to get everything adjusted here. Poor Kurts been making a couple trips back and forth trying to resolve unfinished business, and get the rest of our things we couldn't fit in the U-Haul. I have been painting like a mad woman at our new home. I didn't like the old color and was also having a bit of nesting issues so I painted the entire upstairs of our rental. I must say it looks awesome, I'll post pics asap. The original color was sort of a pinky white, so I painted my kitchen a sage green. And chose a warm brown for the living room, entry, and hall. The 2 colors flow well together. Kurt lovingly told me I'm a natural at decorating. :) The only part that isn't complete quite yet is the entry way, there's some old wallpaper there that I'm working on removing so I can sand and paint that as well. The wallpaper is a huge chore that I thought wouldn't be such a hassle.....silly me. The main issue is that the wallpaper is actually the vinyl stuff so it's more of a task to get it off, thank goodness I just figured out the trick so I should have that finished in the next couple of days.

We are getting settled in here in our new home and are loving the view and being close to family. My brother and his wife are visiting here before they are off to Japan for the next 3 yrs so it's nice to make the visit easier. (They just found out their expecting their first little bundle of joy!) Today we all went to Disneyland together which was a a blast seeing the nieces overjoyed since it's there first time and my sister Alex's first time to Disneyland as well. The Jude side of the family has been coming to church all together and it's fun to see us all fill an entire row. I think more than that though is the awesome feeling of seeing my Daddy sitting there on the pew in sacrament in his nice white shirt and tie. My Mom, my older brother and his wife and their girls all sitting together in Sunday school. Heavenly Father definitely has a plan for us.

On 11/31 we found out we were to be expecting baby 3. I had a feeling I was pregnant but decided to give it to the end of the month before testing. We were both excited at the news. Dec 3rd I was a bit crampy and some what having spotting issues. We called Bill over to come and assist in a blessing for me. I was nervous and knew that something was not right. Kurt also had called Ashley our sister for some advice since she works in this particular field. The next morning I was still not feeling well and the bleeding has continued. I have lost the baby. As a woman I think this type of situation is always in the back of your head. Will it happen to me? How will I handle it? These are just some of the questions that we might ask ourselves. For me I've just always wished it would be sooner rather than later. Still......you can never fully understand it till you've dealt w/ it. I can say that it has been difficult. Painful. My body is still trying to expel whatever it needs to. I just wanted to share because we made the mistake of calling everyone once we got the results on the stick and I don't think I could deal w/ the congrats and how's it going. All I can do is look at this as there was something that I could not foresee and God has a bigger plan for me. It's definitely a test of faith.

As for the kids they are doing great. It didn't take them long to adjust to the new home. They are having fun spending time with their grandparents, aunts and uncles, and nieces. I will post pics as soon as I get a chance. Love you all.
