When Lifes Got You Down


(Pictures from our trip up to Bear Lake)

BJ's in school and work all day from about 8am-7pm. But this was expected! And he is doing so fabulously well with staying on track and getting all of his homework done and going the extra mile at work!

I am so proud of him.

I am holding down the fort at the house! We are almost all the way moved in, still waiting on some new furniture for the living room!
HURRAY!!!!
If you knew what my furniture looked like before, you will be excited too!
It seems my list of things to do each day just gets longer not shorter! I keep telling myself once we get moved in things will slow down....
But I think I need to adjust my expectations so that I am good with busy! Busy can be fun, busy can be fufilling!

We have already made some new friends in the neighborhood AND my visiting teachers are coming today so there is a few other new friends! The boys have found LOTS of little boys across the street to play with! And our yard is like a magnet because of the trampoline! I LOOOVE it!

When we have 4 or 5 kids over my boys are so nice! All the kids play together and just get creative and explore and pretend! ITS SO GREAT!

I am busy at work on my website for Beautiful Blooms! I have been doing some tutorials on home decor! Its been super fun! I am still learning the art of doing a tutorial!

But it seems that among all this craziness the simple moments when the kids and I go hunting for leaves or all of us go for a drive up the canyon and go exploring are the MOST REWARDING! I love how this new crazy life is teaching me to appreicate the small things we get to do together. And to say to myself and others I CAN DO WHAT I CAN DO!

I have had lots of opportunities to serve in this new ward and ...

It feels so good! It helps me get outside my to-do list and remember relationships, serving the Lord and helping his children, THATS what counts!
I am so grateful for this new chapter!
