| ok so... first i wanted to post a couple recent pics of aiden. hes getting huge!! i cant believ hes almost two. hes speaking full sentences now. haha and he pronounes every word carefully, carly and steven say he talks like a robot haha its cute. and he says some funny stuff. like this morning when i woke him up to get ready to go he rolled over and sleepily said to me "get out please muhma" haha hes a goof anyway here he is at the pool at my dads hotel in lansing...  
and just a good face pic of him at my moms. his hair looks red in this pic for some reason. ...its not. 
also i got on our scale at home to weigh him and he was a lovely 38.5 lbs!!! haha i think ive met third graders that big.... ok so on to the one growing inside me. so i had my ultrasound last week on thur. ultrasound tech said ok cool everythings fine, one kid, slightly small, but all is fine. ok cool. fast forward to today. doc leaves me a message that he wants to talk to me about the ultrasound. i call him and he says well i looked at your results and i see some implantation bleeding. dont be alarmed, just no strenuous activity or intercourse till your next appt in amonth. ummm ok a little bit scary. oh and on the ultrasound there were 2 sacs. (i knew i was having twins) but there wasnt a heartbeat in the one sac so it probably never developed and will just disappear. there is a slight chance that at your next ultrasoound we will see a heartbeat and tah dah twins. ummm ok. geekers. thats a lot of info for one phone call. so like 4 weeks till my next appt and 5 weeks till another ultrasound! the best part was calling kyle...um honey we might be having twins and no relations for a month! :) haha ...well we shall see....... | | |
| so if you dont know..now ya know...im preggers! :) 7 weeks actually. i find out on thursday if that dates right, at my ultrasound. oh and i'll find out how many are in there :) | | |
| Wow a lot can happen in a week!
My sister formerly known as Carly Gerstenberger was married on Saturday. Mrs. Carly Martin was beautiful and handled the whole thing rather well I think for hating most of it. Gus and Kristee made it through alive as well. It was beautiful on the beach and the whole black and white thing was pretty awesome as well. Keep checking her site maybe she'll put up some pic's. As always the Gerstenbergers threw a kick butt party and everyone had a great time. oh and aiden was adorable and charming as always. man how did we get so blessed?!
in other news....The Shecklers are moving to Port Huron! Yup we've decided to just go for it. My interview on Monday went well but we wont hear anything about a second interview until the end of the month. I had to make a decision one way or the other for my job at the crossing and we really just want to get the heck out of this house so Kyle and I decided to just go for it. He may be able to work for my best friends husband doing heating and cooling for awhile until we hear back about my job. Also he should be able to get into the mill whenever they hire again. So there are options I guess. :) Its kinda scary. And also very sad. Im really gonna miss my friends, my job, my church, my neighborhood, my in-laws. But I wont miss my stupid house, not living by my family or water, driving to Goshen twice a day, being broke. kyle is excited to start over and hopefully build a better life for our family and to be near water but i think he's really bummed about leaving all his friends. Im so proud of him and respect him so much for sacrificing for our family. it will be hardest on him i know and it breaks my heart. he has nobody in port huron. please pray that we find a home church quickly and connect with some young couples that kyle clicks with. so yeah we'll have to live with my dad for awhile till we get on our feet and hopefully pay down some debt but hopefully not for long. Kyle and I are both so anxious to have a home. A place we can actually settle down in thats not temporary. That we can fix up, paint, make our own. Port Huron is a great place to raise a family. So yeah here we go! In fact I think we're moving this weekend! crazy huh? we're having a garage sale friday and saturday to get rid of some stuff and make some $$ for the move. We are so broke! I think we're going to have a going away fish fry party this week so stay tuned for more details as youre all invited!!

| well we hit the desperation point and finally decided to have my dad try to get kyle into the paper mill. its swing shift and i hate the thought of it but it cant be worse than where we're at now. at least it would get us out of here and to there. crazy thing is the day after we gave in and called my dad i got called about a position i applied for in PH. Its for the county. I have an interview on monday at 2:00pm. So if I could get that and its enough money, kyle could stay home with aiden and maybe go back to school. anyway, pray that one of these two things would work out. we need something......soon. at least its vacation time :) My sister will be married in 8 days!!! crazy...

| losing weight! 15 lbs so far and a total of 17inches! yea!! (thats 15lbs off pre-preggo weight, 50lbs since fully preggo!!) also i finished my dining room. it really looks good. i was nervous but everyone says it looks cool. very bright but very me, and it makes me happy.
on a crappier note...
the shecklers need prayer -people... we just got through like the worst week ever!
*i found out theyre closing my site for work (theyre trying to squeeze me in at another site but its up in the air, and will not be as good b/c i loved our location, staff and students)
*we've been having major issues with our landlord who still hasnt fixed our leaky ceiling bathroom (or any other problem) after a month. he was VERY rude to me on the phone and told me i was overreacting about the water, my calls were annoying him, and if its so bad i should move out and he'll rent it to someone else. its his first and only rental. i was patient with him until he was rude. i cried a lot, called my parents yelled and cried and called finally called code enforcement. they came and did an inspection and are sending him a list of things that have to be fixed in 30days or they have a hearing. i hope it works. :(
*though extremely grateful to have an awesome mother-in-law to watch aiden everyday i find it harder and harder not to be resentful that she sees him more than kyle and i and is experiencing alot of his firsts and we've been kind of having some conflict.
*money is beyond tight. we invested in stuff for kyles business but cant seem to get any accounts. we've been promised a few but they never seem to work out.even this advertisement guy from wfrn who said he had two accounts for us just started ignoring us and never returned our calls. its VERY DISCOURAGING
*we've been trying to move to port huron for 2 years now and it just isnt happening. we cant seem to find jobs anywhere. even ones that we think we could get, sound promising or have connections havent worked.
so yeah...for the first time in my life (that i can remember) i feel like we're stuck in this place filled with problems and i really cant find an answer and im actually starting to feel depressed. i dont think ive ever been depressed before but i feel like im approaching that point. kyle is so stressed out and worried too. at church on sunday the scripure was from james and said something about having joy through trials.and how youre being tested and strengthened. i saw the word trials and just started bawling. im just trying to figure out what we're supposed to be learning so i can quick learn it and we can get out of this craphole! :) we're trying to have faith but it just really feels like we're forever being punished for a few bad choices we made financially. sorry if this is a crappy downer entry, i hate reading those. anyway... we could just really use some prayer... oh and if anyone has a connection for a job in port huron that would be awesome!!.
**i should note kyle is handling this extremely well and has been solid and supportive. i have been so thankful to have someone to lean on when i feel discouraged. also i have the coolest kid that ever existed and he makes me smile and laugh constantly! he is the most amusing, loving, adorable, charismatic creature i have ever known. praise god for my boys! like ive said before we may be losing this dodgeball game of life but i sure do love my team!! :)
