Weddings and Friends

Kurt and I are very blessed to have some amazing friends up here. The best thing about our friends is my girlfriend's husbands are Kurt's closest friends. We get to celebrate a lot of things together. Recently we were blessed to see our friends Holly and James get married. It was awesome for all of us to spend the day together (without kids)

Year 2

Well Kurt started the 2nd year of his uni degree last week. He is studying Sound Production and Audio Engineering at JMC in southbank. The only good news about it is that he has uni 2 days a week. Expect for they are long days from leaving at 7:00am and geting home at 5:30pm. It will work out well when baby number 3 is born.

Picture was taken from 2nd recording session the band "Yorke" a new and upcoming band. I don't really like them as the vocalist is not my thing but at lease they are giving it a go.

Feeling to old for my age

I am having one of those afternoons where I need to get something off my chest, This is not to offend anyone its just my personal feelings and one of the struggles I am trying to overcome at the moment and I felt facebook is not the place to put it but I might do it here. I am going to write about something that can be quite personal but its something I deal with every day.

At 17 and 6 months I found out I was pregnant to my boyfriend Kurt who is 2 years older than me. He was a fantastic boyfriend and I loved him to bits and did have plans to marry him in the future as soon as I turned 18. I was grateful for a family and friends that did not judge our actions at the time... Kurt and I got married when I was 4 months pregnant. Found out we were expecting a little boy. We were pretty excited. Spencer was born a week overdue with no complications. We continued on with life as normal as possible. We had our 2nd baby 26 months later. and Now expecting our 3rd on the 1st July.

So there is a bit of a background who knows us well would of already known all that. Here is the next part on why I feel a bit to old at the moment. On the 13th May I will be turning 22. Don't get me wrong I don't regret any of my actions that I have done to this day. Being 22 and having there very last baby is an odd feeling. I am currently under going counseling for a completely different issue but it came up last session and I was reminded that I am living a life of a 30 year old.

Somedays it does feel like I am 30 and not turning 22. Somedays I feel that I am way older than my friends because they may have just got married but I have 2 and a half other kids to think about. Somedays I feel that I am to young for this. There is negatives to being a young mum (cant stand the phrase teenage mum) but I think if you look at the postives they end up winning.

Although we are like any other new married couple. We are broke uni students, we pay rent we pay our bills the only difference is we have 2 and a half kids. We may live in the crappiest part of Queensland. In the worst street in Caboolture. But it's what we sacrifice to gain the rewards in the end.

Me at 17, When I was a size 6... Ahh those were the days.
Wedding Day.
Pregnant With Spencer....

All those experiences I won't change for a billon years.

Lately I have been thinking a lot about patience. There is one thing I know about an area that I struggle in is patience. I am the most impatient person. I hate being the last know anything. I hate finding this out over facebook. Tonight while doing my church calling (Ward News Editor) I was researching some topics as I always do and found this amazing quote. I said to Kurt when he came home from work and showed him the quote I said to him that its amazing what comes to you while Matilda is screaming at you because she has her nose running and coughing so much. I felt it was like a bit of inspiration just for me.

Continue in Patience

By President Dieter F. Uchtdorf Second Counselor in the First Presidency

Waiting can be hard. Children know it, and so do adults. We live in a world offering fast food, instant messaging, on-demand movies, and immediate answers to the most trivial or profound questions. We don’t like to wait. Some even feel their blood pressure rise when their line at the grocery store moves slower than those around them. Patience—the ability to put our desires on hold for a time—is a precious and rare virtue. We want what we want, and we want it now. Therefore, the very idea of patience may seem unpleasant and, at times, bitter. Nevertheless, without patience, we cannot please God; we cannot become perfect. Indeed, patience is a purifying process that refines understanding, deepens happiness, focuses action, and offers hope for peace. As parents, we know how unwise it would be to indulge our children’s every desire. But children are not the only ones who spoil when showered with immediate gratification. Our Heavenly Father knows what good parents come to understand over time: if children are ever going to mature and reach their potential, they must learn to wait.

Since Christmas

Here is what we have been up to since Christmas:

Announced we are expecting our third baby:

Found out in early October we are expecting our third little bub. Baby will be due at the end of June. We were excited and shocked. Later last week we went for our 20 week scan and baby had its legs crossed and we were unable to see what the sex was. So we are waiting to June when the baby is born to find out what we are having.

Matilda:

Matilda is doing really well. She started walking over the Christmas break and is talking more and more. She likes lots of attention although can be quite a pain because she is teething.

Spencer:

Spencer is getting bigger, he is getting better with his speech. He is still enrolled in 2 days of daycare a week. Which some days he likes other days he screams. He loves playing the wii and playing on my new phone. He is out of nursery now and is a big primary boy and is starting to get use to his new routine.

Kurt:

Still studying hard at JMC. Almost finished his first year and is process of filling out his forms for the 2nd year. Other than that working as a causal at coles and hating it.

Me:

Nothing is really new for me... Expect for the ever growing stomach and house cleaning. Plus chasing after 2 kids and Kurt.

MUSE

On the 6th December we celebrated our 2nd sealing anniversary, We always like to celebrate as I call it our 2nd wedding day. Last year we celebrated at Taco Bill. This year we were SO lucky to get tickets to MUSE. If you don't know who Muse is you totally missing out! Muse is Kurt and My favourite band. Kurt likes a lot of music that I don't and other way around He doesn't like the music I like. With Muse we can agree. There music is both easy listening, dance worthy and very clean (Not a single swear word). We were also very lucky to be close to the front in what Kurt likes to call the mosh pit. Which was AMAZING. We couldn't ask for a better spot.

They did all there amazing songs and we had a good dance and jump around. They were fantastic performers. We also went with an awesome group of people. We all had so much fun. The highlight of the evening would of have to been Matt Bellamany's gorgeous grand piano that lit up with lights as he played. It was also an AWESOME light show.

CHECK OUT THE PICTURES BELOW... I did not take my camera. But I found these.

Our tree is up

We put up our christmas tree on the 25th November and love having it up. I love watchin Matilda and Spencer play with it. I actually dont mind them pulling the decorations off because we do it for them. I am glad to see how much they enjoy it.
