The Past Few Months

It may seem that since I haven't posted since January life is pretty dull in the Turley household. Well that is not the case. Plenty has been going on and I just haven't felt like talking about it. Well, now that I've come to grips with the reality of my life I am ready to spill.
Let's start with January shortly after my last post. One day Grandma Fay (my father's mother) called and left a message inviting me to go to the temple with her and my cousin to do the work for my great grandmother who passed away two years ago this month. I of course agreed to go and was able to be baptised for her and sealed to her husband and parents for her on January 15th. It was a 5 hour day in the temple. It was long but I had a lot of time to do some soul searching. It was an awesome experience. I wish everyone could have the experience of doing that for someone close to you. It made it that much more special.

However wonderful that experience was for some reason for the next couple of weeks I was crazy. I was constantly angry with Andrew whether there was a reason or not. Then some other strange things started going on (which I won't go into) and I finally figured out what was wrong. So I took a pregnancy test and viola, it was positive. (Some of you already know this but it was a secret. I know I said I would wait till my first dr.'s appointment but I can't keep secrets this big. Plus I'm starting to get fat.) When I'm not completely exhausted and ornery I'm very excited. Andrew is still in shock (we weren't necesarily trying so didn't expect I would get pregnant as easily as I did.) I'm about 11 weeks by the way. Due October 8th give or take.

A couple days after we found out my cat died. Apparently she had pneumonia. I was very upset of course but ultimately it was probably the Lord's way of blessing us because there is no way we would've been able to find an apartment big enough for our little family that would allow pets. We have found a new apartment though and will hopefully be moving in at the end of April.

The amazing thing about the past few months is we've been so blessed as the Lord has been preparing us for this little surprise. We really should've seen it coming I guess. I had been praying hard about whether it was time or not when we went through for great gramma. Little did I know my prayer had already been answered.
