This is our story...

I've recently been reconnected with many of my friends through facebook! Alot of you are asking where Ive been the last 10 or so years so instead of telling the story 15 times I am redirecting you to my blog! So here is the condensed version...My family moved to Utah when I was a junior in high school, 1995. I graduated in 97' and started working for a manufacturing company. In November of that year I came home to Az. for a friends wedding. Adam was there too, and the rest is pretty much history. We had known eachother since the 4th grade. We dated a little in high school, but nothing too serious. By the end of the month I knew he was the one. In February of 08' I moved to Nevada, where he was living. We decided to "play house" for a while, but both knew we wanted to get married. In June I got pregnant, so it was time to plan that wedding. We were married in August, and shortly after moved back to the valley. Lexi was born in February of 09' and Brianna came just 15 months later in May of 2000. With having babies outta the way, it was time to get serious. Adam worked for a sand company in the east valley and I worked for a landscape company in Mesa. We bought our first home in 2002 in Mesa. We soon realized that our babies were growing up way too fast, and we were missing it all, so we opted for me to stay home with them and quit working. By this time Adam was a manager at his job and we were doing pretty well. Our little house soon became very small and we needed to find a new one. We were sick of being in the city and Adam was driving all the way to Florence Jct. everyday for work, so we found a place out near Florence where we could have horses, and our kids could grow up in a small town environment like we did. We started building in 04' and moved in in August of 05'. After about a year, Adam decided he was going no where with his job and we decided to look for something new. He landed an awesome opportunity for us, but it meant we were moving to Colorado. We put our house up for sale, packed up our home and off we went. When we got there it was fun! A new place, new people, snow!! But I was lonely. I got a job, but it was boring. Soooo, I decided to talk Adam into having another baby. And it worked!! The first time was our charm. In January of 08' I was pregnant. By the first week of March the excitement was over and I was sick. In and out of the hospital twice. The 2nd stay revealed we were not only having one baby...there was two!! That explained the sickness:( The 3rd week of March I was back in the hospital, this time it was my appendix. They weren't sure if it was going to burst, but said it was best to get it out. So they took it. 3 weeks later we were back down to one baby. The rest of April and May was mostly the same. Hospital...home...hospital...home....nurses at home....dr. visits....hospital...etc. ect. ect. Finally, my dr says enough and sends me to some specialists!! They end up putting me on a cocktail of pills that actually worked, with no side effects to the baby. I was taking them 4 times a day, and not sick. The only kicker....they caused drowsiness. So I slept away the rest of the time. In August, Adams company decided to purchase a plant in Phoenix, and said he could take it over, since we still had not sold our home. We didnt hesitate and packed our stuff. The day we got back they put the cabosh on buying the plant, but said he could still work out of our home, he would just have to travel more. In October it was finally time to have a baby!! I was due the 30th and couldnt wait for it to finally be over. On the morning of the 11th I woke up around 5 am and was sick! I hadnt been sick in 3 months! Was the medicine finally going to stop working or did I have the flu. Were still not really sure, but it didnt matter, cuz I was in labor! We got to the hospital around noon and at 8:40 the next morning, yes 20 hours later, we had our son!! Clint was born on October 12th of 2008! Adam just got promoted to an area manager, and now instead of flying to Colorado and California every week, he will be going to Ohio. For now we will stay in Arizona, but may be embarking on another adventure soon. It is so hard to spend so much time apart, and now he has his little boy that changes so much in just a weeks time! This blog is mostly for Adam, so that he can keep up on the goings on in his home when he is away! Now you're up to date on the Masons!! Enjoy our blog....
