Ok, maybe I didn't make it out of the Abyss...

So, apparently I'm really bad at keeping the blog updated. I have to get Gordon to start doing it! He usually remembers to do things online. It seems like the only computer I ever get to use is the laptop because I can't keep Miranda entertained upstairs. =) Miranda, Claire, and I are going to Utah on Monday. I wanted to make one last trip before the deer shop gets really busy. I think I might be too late though. I thought the big hunts didn't start until mid September, but Papa sounded pretty busy the last couple times I've called. =(

The girls are getting SO big! I can't believe how fast they grow up. It's been nice since Brianna moved here. At least Miranda has some friends to play with now. It's nice for me to have someone to hang out with too!

This is very short considering it's been almost 3 months since I posted, but Claire is getting impatient. Gotta go!

Back from the abyss

Ok, so it's only been 5 months since my last post. HAHA I thought I had gotten on here and posted the pictures when Claire was born, but apparently it was only on Facebook. Which is really weird because I hardly ever use Facebook anymore. I am posting this from my laptop so I only have the pictures that I can pull from Facebook. I'll post one here. These were taken the day after Claire (Clarissa Lynn Hardy) was born. She looks a lot different now. She just turned 3 months old.

We moved to Casper, Wyoming, last week. It seems like a nice town, but Gordon is pretty unhappy with his job. There was some miscommunication about the work schedule. We're not sure if it was intentional or accidental. He was told this was a good position for him (as opposed to Grand Junction and Cheyenne... the places we wanted more) because he would have good mentoring here and there would be a lot of overlap hours so he wouldn't be working on his own. Well, now that he's here he's found out that not only will there be no other pharmacist on duty while he working, but there will be a lot of time without a tech as well! Arg! So much for this being a good position for a newbie. We figured the recruiter told him this was a good fit for him because it is such a hard position for them to fill, not because it actually is good for him.

Oh well, at least he is getting experience. He plans on taking the NAPLEX at the end of June and the law exam the next week. He wanted to put it off as long as possible so he could have a little more time working with someone else. He will be by himself as soon as he's certified.

I am feeling so isolated today. Verizon's phone service is down AGAIN. It's happened here (all of Wyoming) before. Maybe it's a good thing... it made me get online and actually update the blog. =)

January Blues...

Well, this time it was a little longer than a month but at least I got the post in while it is still January. Gordon has been in Scottsbluff, Nebraska since the 2nd. Miranda and I met him in Cheyenne last weekend so we could see him. He has another week and a half in NE and then another week in Laramie. *sigh* I hate it when he's away. I feel for the wives whose husbands jobs take them away a lot.

I've started to get the apartment put together. I had it fairly clean yesterday, but then I grabbed a few boxes from the closet (office stuff) and am trying to go through those... now my house is trashed again. Arg! Unpacking is a nightmare. I want to make sure it's all done before Gordon comes home. =)

Miranda is getting SO big! She talks a TON and really knows how to ham it up if she wants something. She has started being a fussy butt at bedtime. She still goes down just fine as long as I let her go to sleep in my bed. Little monster! She won't even let me put her into the crib until she is asleep. She usually is ok being transferred, even if she wakes up, but she refuses to go to bed in her bed. It's a really bad habit that I should have broken her of sooner, but it's hard to want to when she is so good about just rolling over and going to sleep in my bed.

PS- Ok, here is the belly shot... =)
