Gone Campin'!

This past weekend, Brian and I went camping near Rexburg. We were right by the river. The weather was super nice and we just got to enjoy each other. We asked others to join us, but in the end it was just Brian and I. But it was alot of fun. We didn't have any extravagant cooking stuff, just a fire. It worked out fine though and we had fun with our little adventure. We made s'mores and sat around the campfire. We played with glowsticks and fireworks. haha. We even played with a flare. It was neat. We caught a bunch of minnows with our bare hands. We brought a few home hoping that they could live in a fishbowl. But they didn't survive the day. Now we are on a fish hunt. We are looking at fish to buy to put in our fishbowl. We still aren't sure what we will get, but it will be our FHE activity. haha. Overall, we had a wonderful weekend(minus the many dead fish). It is so nice to have Brian to myself. He isn't worrying about school or any upcoming assignments. He goes to work and comes home to me. We enjoy our evening together fully.

I have also started exercising in the mornings. I go walking/jogging at 6 AM almost every weekday morning. I am quite proud of myself for holding to it. I think I might even be losing weight and gaining muscle.

We got into subsidized housing. We will be moving into a 2-bedroom apartment next month. I am way excited about it. We will have more room than we have now. I cannot wait. Life is looking up for us. :)

Guess what...I'm not perfect

As I lay here with terrible insomnia (hasn't happened this severely in a while), I decided to write my thoughts and frustrations out. As a parent, I dearly love my children. They are the light of my world. They are not easy nor do we have a picture perfect life, but I'm trying my best with what I have to work with. I guess I want to express that there is no ONE right way to parent. And I can go one step further and say I have to "parent" each one of my children in a different manner because they each respond differently. I'm not perfect at anything...especially parenting. No one except the Lord and my husband (usually) understands the trials I go through on a daily basis. Therefore, no one has the right (except the Lord) to judge how I'm doing something or even why. Like I said I am doing my best. Just because I do something you may not agree with doesn't mean it's wrong. You have NO right to tell me or anyone else that what I am doing isn't okay....

When everything Flips on you...

Today was well planned out. The girls had their weekly gymnastics, I would have an ultrasound, then my midwife appointment, then a chiropractor appointment...all that needed to happen in town scheduled for today...of course when plans are made, the world laughs in my face...mother nature laughs in my face. First off, the kiddos got sick and weren't feeling great (including Brex which meant he stayed home from school). So we didn't make it to gymnastics (seriously a bummer because the girls love it). Then it decided to snow and snow some more...of course it likes to snow on the days I plan to go to town. . . I didn't feel like it was a good idea to cancel three medical appointments so we were trying to figure out a way to still make it happen with all the kids home. Originally, we had planned to pack up and meet Brian in town. He would take a long lunch and spend time with the kids in the car (not the most exciting) and reduce spreading their sick germs. Luckily we receive...

Thoughts of the future

Life can be extremely scary especially when you do not know what to expect. I am 17 weeks pregnant and I will graduate from the nursing program in 9 weeks. After that, I am expected to the take the NCLEX to get my RN license. So much change is ahead of us. Currently, Brian is applying to multiple jobs to see where we may end up. We will most likely be moving in May. But we do not know where yet. I think that is probably the scariest thing of all. I am going to have to find a new OB and hospital to have this baby. The tension and worry is just starting to build up for me and I am not sure how to handle it, but rather just go through life one day at a time. Something will come up and we will know what we are doing at some point. All I can say is that I have great faith in the Lord. He gets me through each day and calms my anxiety. He gives me the reassurence I need to carry on. We have been so greatly blessed and I notice it often. I am also blessed to have a wonderful, righteous husband...
