You know, life is definately well defined by John Lennon: "Life is what happens while your making other plans." Two days ago I started having contractions. Oh, goodie. There's nothing like pre-term labor. Urrggh. Fortunately, we caught it and thanks to a 3 shots of Brethine my labor was stopped. I see my doctor on Monday. We'll see if bed- ( Read more... )

We went to my mission reunion on Friday night. It was so fun to see President and Sister Wagstaff again. They look really good. They just got back from the Manhattan Temple Mission. They worked every Friday with my brother-in-law, Nate. They were very complimentary of him and said he was very complimentary of me. That was nice to hear. It's ( Read more... )

Jonny have started Sunday meetings. We can spend some time talking through what life is handing to us and have time to be with each other. Then, for the rest of the week, we can leave our problems alone, for the most part. I think it is helping us reconnect. Jonny said he really liked it ( Read more... )

Well, I'm pregnant and my brother came to town, so, of course, we moved. Again. Actually, we are all thrilled about it. It is a very very very positive change. The children cheered when we told them and Jonny and I couldn't pack fast enough. We hated where we were. Our whole family was miserable and exploited. It sucked. That's the only way ( Read more... )

Our anniversary was really nice. We went camping and my sister-in-law took the kids. The kids had a great time and so did we. We needed the break really badly. I did miss the kids, though. We were pretty lucky, when we started up the canyon it was pouring rain, but by the time we got there and all night into the next day, the skies were clear ( Read more... )

Happy 6th Anniversary to us, yesterday! I have a 48 hour shift, so we didn't get to go out, but Jonny bought me a few things, which I liked very much. We are going out for the weekend, though. It should be fun! I will miss the kids, but I know that we need to time alone together. Six years. Times flies, doesn't it? Of course, it does seem ( Read more... )

I've been trying to keep myself going and continuing to safely move forward physically. Pregnancy comes with opportunities to discover personal flexibility and creativity, and I hope I'm embracing the challenges ( Read more... )

This week was our family reunion. We were supposed to go up a nearby canyon, but a black bear has taken over the campsite, so that didn't work. We ended up having it at my parents' house. It was a little bit worrysome for my parents, but things turned out just fine ( Read more... )

This summer I have been working on getting back in shape, taking up sports again, and getting myself back into gear, spiritually. In other words, upgrading my life. I am still working on those things, and I have a new dynamic to throw into the mix. I'm pregnant ( Read more... )

Some neighbors of mine went in on a community garden with Jonny and I. I've been a pretty good gardener in my life, but this year, with the garden is looking really good. There is something very encouraging about being part of a successful garden ( Read more... )
