I love it here

Victoria and Jake were at the doctor today.  Jake had a follow up from the rash.  He is still having problems that I will not discuss on here and I am hoping that what the doctor suggested will help. Victoria had her well child check.  She is of average weight but way taller then average.  Our doctor asked if she was going to play basketball and she said she is going to be a ballerina.  He told her that would be good too. 
Mine in-laws were in town.  It is always nice to have them drop by on the way home from their adventures.  Maybe one of these days they will allow us to tag along. 
More and more I am so grateful for my friends.  Those amazing people who have been around since forever and some a little later in life then that. 
Lee feels better about things since yesterday.  He told me we were going to be just fine. Not sure what that means but I am trusting in my husband's insight and faith.  Several rejection letters/emails today. We are now extending our job search outside of the wonderful Northwest.  I was asked today if I really loved where we lived.  The answer was Yes.  I don't want to leave here but I will if I have to.  I love where we live.  I love being close to family, camping,hiking,boating and boarding.  I love being so close to Target and Win-Co.  I love knowing the good mechanics in town.  I love the four seasons.  I love having an airport near by. I love that I am established in my job and I work well with my co-workers. 
The other thing I love is having a doctor that knows us.

 I would not have done well crossing the plains. Pretty sure I would have had a hard time not knowing the plan.  I am sure I would have kept asking,"Okay what after we get to the SL Valley? Then what are we going to do?" I would have tried to plan the future the whole way there and would have failed horribly.

This week was a Struggle

This has been a tough week. I worked some extra hours which were only five hour shifts but were still were time away from the kids. Kids are at their breaking point and wether or not they know it they need schedules and some stablness. School starts Tuesday and comments about how people hope my kids dont kill their teachers with COVID is neither helpful or accurate. Plus we had a budget meeting after months of no meetings. In which we found out that we had once again over spent in August. Which could have been stopped if we would have known earlier in the month. I sent $1500 to student loans. Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher...

A Little COVID Update

SO what have been up to. Lots of nothing COVID sent me into a huge mess of depression and anxiety that I have slowly been getting through thanks to medication. The medications have made me a much better mom and wife. We spent a week with Lee's family at his family reunion last week. There was so many good fun times but there was also some frustration where Lee and I felt like we were the built in babysitters and people kept just leaving their children with us. I tried to be compassionate but sometimes it is hard. We are thankful for all the great memories we had, older kids got to go to Lagoon with their cousins which was fabulous despite snide comments about how much we make and what we can afford. We are thankful for Lee's brother and family hosting and always for the generosity of Lee's dad and Gina. And Lee's cousin took amazing pictures Jake got his permit and overall isn't such a bad driver just inexperienced. Marching band sort of kind of was cance...

Covid 19

Words can not expressed the range of emotions I am feeling at the moment.  One week ago we had it all planned out.  Then Covid happened.  And the whole world was suddenly on hold.  Kids had school Monday but then have been out for ten days and are scheduled to return on the 20th of April.  However most people think that is unlikely.  My heart is breaking for graduating seniors.  We cancelled our trip to Zion which may have happened any way because it was calling for snow.  I hope we will rise from this stronger but right now I feel like curling up in a ball and crying. Lee now has work at home options since we have not been put on "lockdown" at this point although several other areas and cities across the county including a few in Idaho have been. I try and  look for the good.  Healthy kids, good weather, lots of projects we put off being completed.  But some moments it feels like we are missing on so much. We did church at ho...
