Wow, October...

So this past sunday, Brian and I celebrated 6 months being married. Hard to believe sometimes. Life goes by so fast. Soon, we will be celebrating a year together which is also crazy. I feel like we have been all over the place since we have been married. We have lived in 3 different homes in 3 different states...kind of well funny. But these past months have been the best of my life so far. Yes, we have had trials and hardships but we are stronger and closer because of them. We are constantly growing together and I love it.

We also got to enjoy general conference this past weekend. It is definitely one of my favorites. there were so many wonderful talks. Plus it is the first time Brian and I got to watch it together.

This weekend, we are taking all of our furniture up to Rexburg to our new 2 bedroom apartment. Yay! I am so grateful for all of these hand-me-downs. We actually have plenty of stuff to fully furnish our apartment. We have a kitchen table with 4 chairs, 2 large couches, an arm chair, a tv stand, a tv, a coffee table, a king size bed, a desk and a dresser. It's great. Thank goodness for family.

Next week, Brian has an operation of his hand. So we are hoping and praying that will go well and that he can get back to work soon after. It is just a crazy month. I never thought I would be where I am at a year ago, but I am not complaining. I love our crazy, hectic life. It's what keeps us going.

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...
