Spring Couldn't Come Soon Enough

Well, Summer in my case, but at least by spring Nick will be done with classes and mainly focusing on finishing his Masters.  Me, I just can't wait to be done being pregnant.  Just three and a half more months *fingers crossed*

Nick got home from his trip to Iowa late Sunday night, having spent five days out there meeting and interviewing with different university faculty about the potential of attending there for his PhD.  From what I gather, it went very well, and Nick is pretty sure we will be headed there sometime end of July, early August.    Minus the fact it would be a 16+ hour car tip with a two year old, a two month old and a dog......I'm super stoked to  be getting out of Utah!  We just have to wait a week or two to hear back about acceptance and funding, but Nick's pretty confident.

He brought Tristan back a little cardinal mascot stuffie, about the same size as Monkey, but Tristan wants nothing to do with it.  No matter how many things we have tried to replace that stupid monkey with, Tristan always refuses them.  Nick said it was just because it wasn't coated in spit and snot yet, just give it a little bit.    And he brought me back a snuggly school blanket because I love to wander the house wrapped up in blankets.  But honestly, I'm just glad to have him home, even though he is busier than ever now.  It was murder having to take care of everything alone without the prospect of seeing him every night.  Then he went and informed me he might go on a month long research trip sometime in the future.  I about died.

And that's what's new for us
