Life Decisions for you Baby Girl

Hello my Sweetheart,
Dad and I are getting REALLY excited for you to come. Especially mom because recently you have been killing my back and making me very tired and emotional. You're worth it, but goodness it is not easy.
Dad and I have made some pretty big life choices for your arrival. We finally decided to buy a car!!! One day dad was late picking up me from the school I was is teaching at and I decided at that moment the time has come, so a day later we found a car and bought it. We need two cars so dad can get to work in SLC and Mom doesn't have to stay at the house all day long and walk everywhere. Mom can't tell you how excited she is to get this car. Dad and I are going down to Arizona tomorrow to pick it up from someone I taught while serving my mission. He gave us an incredible deal. We are getting us a CX-9 so you will have plenty of room to move around and grow. This is the first loan your dad and I have ever taken out. It was surprisingly very easy to get, but we are a little nervous about paying the payments every month.
Dad and I also found us a new apartment. This apartment is SO much nicer than the one we are living in now. It will have air conditioning, 2 bedrooms, new carpet, granite top counters, a washing machine and dryer and a bathroom that isn't for a hobbit. Dad and I have absolutely LOVED our apartment and it will be really hard for us to move out, but we are also excited to start this new phase of life.
I think the hardest part of moving out is leaving our ward. Dad and I have made so many incredible friends who have been such a huge support to us. Most of them are moving out as well, but we will miss this little life we have created in our first home and first family ward. Mom was talking to a high counselor over our ward about us moving last Sunday and he ended up telling Dad how much he is going to miss us being in the ward and how we are a "power couple." This meant so much to mom, dad and I try so hard to do what is right and serve with all our hearts. If anything, I would say that your dad is a powerful man. You are so lucky to have him be your father.
Dad is also getting a promotion at the end of the summer hopefully. Mom is graduating from college in a week and becoming a full time teacher till the end of May. Baby girl, make sure you graduate from college. Going to school for 16 years has not been a highlight in my life, but it has taught me incredible lessons. I have been able to have some of my neatest experiences through school. I am so grateful for Grandma Atkinson who taught me the importance of getting an education and giving me many pep talks to get me through it. There were so many days I wanted to quit and drop out....but now, here I am, graduating with a degree in Health Education and TESOL. I cannot wait to end this chapter of my life, but I am also going to miss the life lessons and experiences it has brought me. I will never regret graduating from college.
Anyways, you are doing great inside my belly sweet girl. You have flipped, so instead of being vertical you are horizontal now....not gonna lie, it was so much more comfortable having you vertical, but I am happy you are preparing to enter this world.
We love you, I love you! We are so excited to meet you and start this new life of experiences and life lessons.
Love,
Your Mama
