Blessed

Wow, another year has flown by and I have been horrible at keeping our blog updated. In my defense, life seemed to just rush by, picking me up and carrying me along for the ride. 2011 was an eventful year. When I take time to reflect on the major events of 2011, I would have to honestly say, it was rough. There was a lot stress, heartache, and disappointments. That being said, I feel like I have learned so much about myself and my little family... we are tough! I am a true believer in positive thinking. Constant negativity is exhausting and pointless. One of my favorite quotes is, "Gratitude turns what you have into enough". I love finding joy in the little things, there is always something to be joyful about. This year Draven learned to ride his bike without training wheels and became a kamikaze mountain bike rider... he even went down old main hill at USU. It was so fun to see the joy and pride Draven got from riding his bike without any training wheels. Audrik started preschool and speech therapy and gets to ride a BUS! He loves it and I can't believe everything he is learning! Kurt is so close to finishing his graduate degree and is actively applying for jobs. I am loving every minute of this crazy, sweet life! I am so grateful to be married to such a wonderful man, to have two boys that bring me an immense amount of joy and to have a support system that is beyond amazing! How could I not feel blessed!
