Wow

How did this happen so fast? How did I go from having a little boy, to having a little boy who's starting Kindergarten soon? How did I miss all this in between? It feels literally like yesterday that I was holding him as a tiny baby in my arms, fresh from heaven? I cry, and I cry. How did this happen so fast? I'm not ready for this. I'm not ready for him to leave me and go to school. I want my little boy to stay a LITTLE boy forever. I want him to remain, this sweet, this gentle, this loving. I don't want him to turn into someone I don't recognize from that sweet little boy. Who knew being a parent would be so hard and emotional. It reminds me of that stupid country song about, "It won't be like this for long." it's already going too fast! I don't want it to go too fast! I want to savor these years. I want them to last for a VERY long time. I want my babies to stay babies! I don't want friends who influence their attitudes for bad. I want them to stay this way. I realize this is total gibberish, but. I've got to get it out.

Quick Run Down

Hello,
yes, I know it's been almost a year. It seems facebook has become my online blog. A lot has happened. Lets see what I can do:

we aquired 3 apartment complexes and a house from Forrest's dad

registered Logan for Kindergarten (YIKES!!!)

Micah is talking so much better now!

Had our 10 year anniversary! (has it really been that long?)

We went to Europe (London, Scotland, Ireland and France) for our 10 year anniversary!

Found out we were PREGNANT!

Had a scare or two with the baby!

Everything is fine now!

I turned 31!

Just got back from a trip to Oregon to watch my nephew, Liam be born! That was a cool experience.


that's about all that's happened here. We should be able to find out what the baby is next month. Crossing my fingers for a girl, but....I'll take a boy too. I mean, why not? we already have all the clothes.... *rolls eyes*

Hey There

I know, I know, it's been a while. I've had a lot going on. First off, got me a new camera! Finally. I can start working on my love of all things photography. Here's a couple pictures of the boys.

I'm toying with the idea of starting a photography blog. I know, just like everyone else. What can I say? I'm a follower.

Whiny, Whiny, Whiny

Why can't I get up the drive to lose weight? Why do I seem to like being fat? Why is my house a mess? Why do I have to be the fattest person in my entire family? Why can't I be more crafty? Why can't I be perpetually happy? Why does it have to be so hard for us to stay afloat? Why does this "job" work so well for others and we're still waiting for the payoff? Why do I feel so negative lately? Why is it so hard to wait, every month? Why do I feel so unpretty all the time?
Why can't I get more parties booked so I can save money for my camera?

There, I'm done.

Happier Times

Well, that last post was kinda a doozy and took some wind outta my sails. I think I did more crying than typing. Anyhow. We're focusing on the positive now. Lets see what's happened. Forrest had an insurance conference down in Salt Lake about a week and a couple days ago now and I got to go with him. It was a lot of fun. I love to go to SLC whenever I have the chance. I don't know how to explain it, well, I do...but there's just a peace that I feel everytime I'm in that city. It makes me feel all mellow and calm inside. I love it, I love the hills that surround the valley, all the heritage that it's steeped in. It makes me want to step outside in the early morning air and just inhale. I know I'm sappy, what can I say. We got to stay in a Hilton Hotel it was nice. We were able to spend time with our dear, dear friends Byron and Molly Burkhart, we went and painted the town red. It was so awesome to see her again, I was reminded again all the fun and wonderful memories we share together that will always be a part of us. We also got to spend some time with our family...well, to us their family. We stayed overnight in Idaho Falls with the Fosburgs and ended up going on a date with them. We saw Date Night on a date night! LOL. Anyhow, I don't think I've laughed so hard in a movie in my entire life. Mary and I gripped arms in hysteria every now and then. It was so much fun to see them, I was hoping to suprise them, but Forrest would have none of that, he likes for people to be well informed we're coming. LOL. Then Mary and I went back to the old days of lets do something drastic with our hair and see what happens. She dyed hers BRIGHT red and I died my BLACK!!! Over all I think they both came out ok! and that little AJ. That kid LOVES me, well, the feeling is mutual. I really don't think that one day was nearly enough for me with them. Good thing I get my next fix in a couple weeks! weeeeeeeeeee! On the ride home from the conference we had a sick child in the car with us, that was an adventure, I think Forrest and I did some heavy duty praying that we would not fall victim to the flu virus. It payed off, thank heavens.
By the way, if anyone could help Forrest and I out we'd really appreciate it, he's just started with a company called Primerica. They just went public and are now traded on the stock exchange. The company has been in business since 1977, he could really use the word of mouth to get himself going. So if you know anyone that is looking for better rates on, life, auto or home insurance, we could use a shout out! He's trying to do this as another source of income for our family. We're really struggling right now and could use all the help that we can get!
