Spurts

You know, I am finding blogging to be a lot like my scripture reading. It goes in spurts. I do really good for a while and then I stink really bad for a while. =) I need to do better in both areas. =)
Well.........welcome back. =) It's been almost a year since I last blogged and there is so much that changed. It's hard to know where to begin. lol To make a long story short, we are living in Logan now. I am going to school, it's my first semester. We've gone through bankruptcy and have seen all it's brutalities. =) But all in all, things are looking up. After all, when you are at the bottom, there is no other way to go other than up, right? lol =)
We are truly blessed and I feel my Heavenly Father's love. That seems to go in spurts also. =) I have no one but myself to blame. I humble myself and then I forget, I humble myself and then I forget. You'd think that I'd learn this by now. =) So is life though, I suppose. Or at least my life. =) I'm forever changing it seems. Which is a good thing I think, because I am always in need of changing. =) I am always in awe that my Heavenly Father still chooses to bless me even when I'm a bonehead. =) Life truly is an amazing journey.
So I am super excited. This is my favorite time of year.......Fall! Oh I can actually hear the leaves falling off the trees in the breeze and smell the crispness of the air. I love all the Fall smells; pumpkin, spice, apple cider. Oh they make my mouth water. I love Halloween! Quinn thinks I'm nuts, it his least favorite holiday, but I just love the carefree, childlike quality it has. It's the one time of year you can dress up and be something you are not or ever will be. =) At 28 years old I could still be a princess for one night. =) lol After all, isn't that a dream that we as women never truly grow out of? =) We all want the handsome prince/knight who grovels at our feet for just one precious kiss. Who would fight for us and sweep us off our feet. =) Yes, Halloween is for the children and children at heart. =) And I will admit I am still a bit of a child. =)
The other reason I love this time of year is that ALL our holidays are at this time of year. All our birthdays, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas. They are all bunched together. And though this can be stressful at times because we are always broke at the end of the year because of all the holidays and birthdays, it's the most fun. It's like 4 months of celebration. =) I just turned *cough* 21 on the 19th. =D Allee will be 7 on the 25th, Bridger 2 =( on the 29th of Oct, Quinn will be "30" on the 24th of November (Thanksgiving Day), and Jolie will be 5 on Dec 19th. So yep, they are all, bam bam bam, right in a row. =) But it's fun. =)
I am super excited about all the fun stuff there will be to do this Fall and my family has made awesome plans for Christmas. We have made it a tradition to rent a cabin and spend a couple nights together with the whole family and it's a BLAST! I am so blessed to live in a family that enjoys to be around and play together. Truly, nothing makes me more giddy. =) I love families. I love that even after spending 28 years (oops it slipped =)) with my family that I am still learning new things about them and about the person they are becoming. Also, we are always adding new additions, whether it be a brother-in-law or sister-in-law, or niece or nephew. It's always changing and I love that. More people to get to know and more people to love. If I could find a job that I could just go around loving people, making them happy, and kissing babies, I'd be a rich woman. =D I would love that job. Know of any openings in that field? =D
Well this is longer than I thought it would be, but it's due to not keeping up with it so long. =) I really love comments guys, so if you have something to say, say it. I love feedback. But mostly, I just love to keep in touch with the people I love. So welcome back to my blog. I've missed you guys. Hope to keep this going, so all the encouragement is greatly appreciated. =) LOVE YOUR FACES!!!! =D
