Wow today has been something else! I went to bed last night at 10:30 and tossed and turned until 1:00. I woke up at 6 and could not get back to sleep. So after tossing and turning for an hour I went and took a bath and came downstairs and got something to eat. I laid on the couch for about an hour falling asleep for maybe 10 minutes. Then I got up and went to prayer. On my way to prayer I walked past the Honda to grab my hat and noticed I had ants all over the inside! I came inside, got the can of Raid and went to town! I don't know if you are supposed to use Raid on vehicles but let me tell you it worked!! I went to Walmart after prayer and probably looked like I had a huge infestation of some sort. I walked out with 2 packs of ant traps, a can of raid, and a bottle of Raid Max for Jake to spray around the house when he gets home. Oh but you can't forget the bag of licorice I bought. :) Gotta have something to eat on the way home.
You might be thinking to yourself man this girl is going overboard on the ant situation. Well...This isn't the first time I've had to deal with the ants. About a month and a half ago i woke up to a trail of ants on my counter. Where they came from i don't know. I found out from my neighbor who after being on vacation for a few weeks came back to find them all over her counter tops and cupboards as well. Well just like this time i pulled out the raid (being careful of the fumes because I am pregnant), and cleaned everything out of my cupboards and sprayed. Well for the next couple of days i had to clean up ants behind my microwave but they soon went away. Well the other night I came home and had ants climbing out of my laundry room all over my floor and walls, so they must be coming in from somewhere. The most annoying thing about it is the landlord will not pay to spray because we did not notice the infestation within the first 7 days of renting. Okay I get that they have to set rules or they could go broke by everyone seeing a spider and calling for help, but how many of you think we would notice the ants in the first 7 days when on the day we moved in it was SNOWING! This makes me excited to be able to buy and have my money going towards our future, not someone else's. :)
I heard from Jake today. The phone is broken but he said dates have not changed and if not before i'll hear from him August 7th when he departs from everyone else!! :) I'm glad to know that the mission they just got back from went successfully! Dang I wish the time would hurry and fly by for him to get home. It seems like no matter how much stuff I jam into my day it isn't moving fast enough! Well banana bread is in the oven, just waiting for it to get done, have me a slice, and get to sleep! I hope everyone has a marvelous week!! :)
Love, Anna

PRAISE GOD!!!
Let me start this post by first giving God all the glory and praise for this last week!!!! For those of you who I didn't get a chance to text.... JAKE IS COMING HOME NEXT MONTH! :) Our prayers were answered!! Thank you to everyone who has been keeping Jake in prayer and who were praying for him to be able to come home early. He got the word that he needs to have his bags packed by Aug. 7th! At the moment we do not know the exact date he will be home, but he said expect him anywhere in the last 10 days of August! Oh it is such a relief to know that he will be home soon and out of the battle zone. He called this morning and said he is being sent out to do a mission for a week so I may not hear from him. Hopefully this is his last mission before he comes home.
I want to also praise God for new life! I was able to go hold a newborn baby last night. One of the ladies from church who was pregnant had her little boy. Ellison Thomas! It was such an eye opener that I want our little girl to get here! :)
I am off to go hang with my Steph friend. She is leaving next week for Texas! I can't believe when she gets back it will already be August 1st! I pray this time continues to fly by! Once again thank you for all your prayers and I will try my HARDEST to keep you all posted once more information comes in from Jake. He did encourage me that even though we may hear on the news or I may hear from other wives how bad it is getting over there he said he is in a "safe" place. As safe as you can get in war.. He hasn't noticed any change since he has been there. PRAISE GOD FOR THAT!!!
I love you all and want to leave you with a picture! Me at 29 weeks!!

Updates!!!
Alright so it has been a bit since I posted. Let me see if I can get you all caught up on what is happening in life! This week I spent a good half of the day getting Addy's room together. Trying to clean out closets with a belly in the way is tough.. :) That's another thing that has changed. The belly seems to be growing! I find normal tasks that I could usually accomplish easily are getting harder and harder. Bending over to tie my shoes seems like it takes so much effort. I better figure it out quick, I still have 2 months to go! :)
I go take my glucose test tomorrow. Then Friday I have an appointment with the doctor. I now start going to the doctor every two weeks. It is crazy how there are parts of this pregnancy that have flown by, and other times it feels like the days are taking forever to pass by. I remember people constantly telling me that it would fly by and be here before I know it. It blows my mind to think we might be holding little Addy in three months! The biggest hurdle to get over will be getting Jake home! After that I will feel complete! I spoke to him about coming home early and he said he believed his name was seen on the list to come home early!!! So that could mean next month! :) Praise the Lord that this deployment is almost over. Keep praying that he will have favor with the people over him that he can leave early.
I don't know if i had mentioned but I had to take the Honda to a mechanic. I was having problems with the AC, and a stinky smell would come through the vents when you would turn the air on. Well luckily there was a guy at church who I know I could trust. He took the car and we ordered the parts. Well he went to take a look at it the other day and said unfortunately he has to wait until Jake gets home to fix it. Apparently the part he has to fix requires the dash to come completely out! :( So he needs two hands! But he did say that he believes the problem will be fixed once we fix these parts. He then went on to say he found the stinky problem. hehe I thought he was gonna say it was a dead something... somewhere. But instead he said that the air gets pulled from the passenger floor board. He was climbing around down there to check out the motor and said he almost threw up! You know it is bad if a grown man wants to throw up. So needless to say he pulled out the mat and cleaned it and my car is smelling a LOT better. There is still one place i need to scrub but will probably wait until it isn't so stinkin hot out!
Well after an exhausting day at the beach and not being able to get comfy on this couch I'm gonna head to take a bath! I love you all and hope you have a marvelous week!!! :)
