Me & Mine

"The fact is that most putts don't drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is just like an old time rail journey.... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinder, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." President Gordon B. Hinckley

Bountiful...boonies...same thing

We are officially moved in the new house. YAY!! I am NEVER NEVER NEVER moving while I am this pregnant again. I had a big meltdown last Thursday because this has not only been physically taxing on me but emotionally taxing as well. It was really easy to move to the Brigham house because we were getting our own place finally, I wasn't pregnant, (well I was, just didn't know yet. :o) and it all just fell into place. This move, I was 7 months pregnant and just not in shape to do this. We were really happy in the Brigham house and I know we'll be happy here too but it was hard to leave. My sweet sisters and mom have been my lifesavers though. After a girls night at Alisha's, which I have no pictures of, they all came out here to help me get unpacked and organzied. Then on my big meltdown day last week, Alisha took Lulu so I wouldn't yell at her anymore over stupid things and my parents made me go get a pedicure and pamper myself for a few hours, while they picked the twins up for me in Willard, then proceeded to bring them here, along with a yummy dinner made by Alisha. They even stayed and played with them. It seems backwards to me but I have been way more emotional with this little boy in my belly then I was when I had Lulu in there. I AM SO SICK OF CRYING!! And Cody is too, though he's had his share of crying as well, he says he's pregnant too. :) We both cried while watching Pollyanna the other night! I cry over the good, the bad, the hard, the sweet, the pointless... its ridiculous. But anyway, Lulu and I went to a playgroup this morning that our ward has every Tuesday and I got to know some of the other moms and kids and I think we will really like it here. I am one of NINE women in this ward who are due with a baby in August, but there are about 7 more who are also pregnant and due in other months. WHAT? We finally moved into a young ward! Its nice to have Cody home a little earlier with his short commute and I'm getting used to the drive to Brigham for dance and the twins. Hope our cars last! Cody parked in front of our house yesterday and 2 minutes before he went to get in his car, someone pulled a hit and run! We didn't catch them and his car is pretty scratched up now and missing the sideview mirror. Nice. But Lulu loves her new castle- she still misses the old one but she is enjoying it here more and more everyday, which I am too so that is good. Well there are all my ramblings for today. Hope I don't sound like Debbie Downer! The hard times are important and I'm grateful for what I'm learning and the refining process taking place right now. I'll be stronger for it, right?

So glad you are all moved, things will get better, they can't get any worse right? I hear ya with the pregnancy thing, all I wanted to do was sit and eat unhealthy snacks daily all day! You have a great family. Hope all is well in the new place!

Sounds like you have been working yourself too hard! How great that your family helped out so much. You have sweet sisters and a sweet mom. How fun to be in a new place. Hopefully it will feel like home before you know it.
