Still Alive

I know, most have given up on us Iowans... yet we live on. OBVIOUSLY life has been crazy! Just to throw you into the loop a little... we're having #3 due to debut on Halloween. That says plenty in and of itself. I am at 16 weeks so we are back in the saddle again. Over the past 3 years I have developed horrific allergies. Not just the sneezy kind, but the unbearable eye pain, wake at least once in the night the wash eyes because they have crusted shut, eye swollen shut by morning, can't function til noon, nose so raw I could weep even more, sneeze til I wet my pants, haven't taken a breath through my nose in 3 weeks, lips and mouth so dry I could cry, pregnant safe meds aren't cutting it allergies. Ahh, I feel better all ready. We also own two homes now. We have decided to move 2 hours away... Hooray! However, we are still trying to finish the basement in the home we are somewhat living in now, and fix up the home we are moving into. The drywall in the basement here took a whole month longer than planned and Jonathan starts work tomorrow in Bloomfield, IA. He is going to be working for the Bloomfield Anesthesia group. Our home in Bloomfield is 6.5 acres, which we love... but hello... have you ever tried to mow 2 acres of grassy hills with a push mower? Ya, who has time to blog. The house in Bloomfield isn't horrific, but I have never seen so much dog hair in a freezer in my life. Last week we spent stripping wall paper like our lives depended on it. Jonathan is leaving tonight so he can be at work in the morning and is going to paint in Bloomfield while I pack the North Liberty house and pawn off my kids each day. Throw in being in charge of a Pinewood derby, Stake Home, Family, and Personal Enrichment and a few other odds and ends and ta-dah... blogging death. Truly we are doing wonderful. I really mean that. Our lives are far more blessed than we will ever deserve. I promise pictures before the end of the summer... how do you like that! Ahh loves and tootles - The Jenson's
