The Wifely Life: July 2014

It has officially been an entire year since I last posted on our blog. And let me tell you a LOT has happened! I can't guarantee that I will be any better at posting this time around but I will try! With all the big changes happening in the Haggard household I figure this is the best way to keep family and friends updated.

Quick updates list style since our last post:

RIKER

started a new job in the oil field (was laid off when he did the next bullet)
joined the Army as an 11 Bravo (Infantryman)

completed Airborne School (Jump School) also at Ft. Benning, GA

missing wife and baby like crazy

BABY GIRL

34 weeks along
loves to kick and squirm
especially on mommy's right side up near her ribs
makes sleeping difficult
doesn't like the paparazzi and hides her face at every ultrasound so still no good profile pictures!
doesn't think mommy's uterus has enough room so she likes to really push herself as hard as she can against mommy to make more room (it doesn't accomplish anything except making mommy squirm)
is working on being the most loved little girl ever.
met Santa Claus for the first time ever yesterday! (he was driving through Lakeview so we got a picture)
