I was blue

To be honest again. I've wanted to write but I have felt blue. I don't anymore. But for a good 3 weeks there I was not myself, I was my worse self: irritated, impatient, and just plain old grumpy. I think move #8 was my max; so overwhelming. So, I am finally feeling better about life and moving forward with my three rambunctious kids and Jack my dear mate. Here are some late pictures from Halloween. Loved Halloween this year, the best year yet and they will only get better the older these kids get. Everett was a HOOT. We trudge through the cold and rain until he wanted no more. When we got home I told him he could have piece of candy and so he took one opened it and then threw it away without eating it. Crazy kid. Love him.

I am so excited for the holidays. I have a big old box of Christmas decorations waiting to be opened and draped all over our new home. Last year at this time we were barely hanging on to our mortgage in Kaysville not knowing what was going to happen next. I would eagerly look out the window into the dark snowy night and just pray Jack would get home safely driving home from Lehi (a good 45 min. drive with good road conditions). We were not making ends meet. We had one car. I did my best, with my 2 little boys and pregnant, to be optimistic and create new adventures in our home to distract us from our current state. I can honestly testify of the Lord's hand directly in our lives through that time. We were given so much annonamously just when we needed it the most. Now, it is our turn to give and I am so excited to be on the other end and so grateful to have recieved. Looking forward into 2011 and I can honestly say with confidence that we will be fine. I know life throws curves and we are prepared. Jack is my closest friend and together we have braved mighty winds. Can't wait for Thanksgiving and for my Christmas concert in Logan after that and boy, the weeks are filling up fast.
