October

So much happened in October, it seems the month just flew by in the hurricane of events going on in the Armstrong home.
1. On October 14th we got to hear our little Peanut's heartbeat for the first time. It was so exciting! And a big "thank you" to Kelly, who gave us the idea of audio recording the heartbeat. When I'm having a stressful day I like to listen to it. It makes me smile!
2. Anthony has moved on from his job at Melaleuca. We went through a roller coaster of ups and downs when, after 1 1/2 years of working in our positions, management decided one day that there was a "conflict of interest" and that we could no longer work in the same facility. It was really out of the blue. Anthony was told he does a great job and was one of their best supervisors, but couldn't work in Rexburg. Because it wouldn't work for him to work at their corporate office 40 mins away we decided it was best for Anthony to move on to new things.
3. On October 21st we celebrated our 6 year anniversary!
4. Anthony is now working in Washington at the family orchard. With the change in jobs it opened up a chance for him to go back to his roots and help out for harvest. Ultimately, we'd love to end up in Washington, so this could be a jumping off point for him as he is considering what he wants to do in the future.

As the first trimester drew to a close I started to feel much better. My energy levels came back up and the morning sickness went away....hooray!! I hear the 2nd trimester is the best part of pregnancy, so here's looking forward to enjoyable holidays!
