Crazy Few Months

So it has been a long time since I updated my blog. Life has been to say the least a little crazy lately. First about 2 months ago we found out that Ben got an internship for the summer in Salt Lake. We have been so excited because this meant that we would be able to spend the summer in UT yea!!! The only hard part is the fact that we will only get to see Ben on the weekends because Cass and I will stay in Southern Utah with family. We will survive somehow. I figure it can't be any worse then it is now with how busy he is with school. This is a great opportunity and to top it off we get to be home for awhile.

The other crazy thing in our lives right now besides finals is we are pregnant. Yea!!!! We are so excited but only 13 weeks along and it has been quite the ride and not even half way through. This pregnancy I have been way sick. I was sick with Cassidy but not this bad. I took meds with her and it helped a lot. With this one I take meds and it only takes the edge off. At one point I got so sick and dehydrated that they put me in the hospital. Now that wasn't fun at all. At least it was only for 24 hrs, but it was a long 24 hrs. lol I am just so grateful at that point it wasn't during finals for Ben. He has been my life saver.

One surprise I got out of it all and wasn't expecting with all the other crazy things going on with my family at home was my mom flew out to help me for a couple days. Ben and my whole family kept it a secret that she was even coming. So one Saturday morning Ben tells me he was going to go to the store to get me some food so I would be okay while he went to school to study. Well 30 min later he comes back in the door with no food but, even better, my mom. Boy was i shocked. Of course Ben took pictures of me. I will only show you the one that doesn't show my face because I look so bad. It was so nice to have my mom come out and help me get back on my feet. It was so hard to see her leave. The only thing that made it easier was the fact that I was going to be able to come home a month later.

So that is what has been going on with us. Crazy but getting better. We now just have to survive finals and we get to go home yea!!!!!!!!!!

Crazy Weather in Syracuse

So all i can say about living here in Syracuse is the fact that i don't think i have ever seen such crazy weather. Between the snow and the rain you never know what you are going to get. Last week it started to rain and thunder pretty loud. We had had so much rain the past few days i didn't think much about it. Then all the sudden it started to rain really hard and the wind started picking up. I took a look out the window to see how much rain was coming down and this is what was going on the corner of my street so crazy. I walked outside to take pictures and the whole neighborhood was outside. While standing there watching it all, my next door neighbor told me she just heard on the radio that a tornado had hit the town that was about 25 min away from me. So crazy, just great full it wasn't by us.
