Trips Facebook and the Church

In August Lee and I and the kids are going on a trip of a lifetime.  I am seriously overwhelmed about the whole thing.  This trip will change the rest of our lives.  The kids are excited and that is how I want them to be.  But I know that this trip will be the best thing we can do.  We have been planning this for years.  We got the taxes to our accountant and I am hoping in the next few weeks we can file.  It won't be as big as last year which means we probably will not be able to pay off any major debt.
Oh well there is always next year :)   But the money should be able to finance the trip. 

I find myself getting more and more frustrated with facebook.  I would close down my account but it is a good way to stay in contact with friends so maybe I should just do some spring cleaning and get rid of people who bring me the most frustration.  But I am sure that would cause some contention in my personal life. 

Lee and I had a conversation and it ended with him saying it didn't matter and me saying but it could matter. :)  That is how many of our conversations go.

I have so many questions lately about the church that I am not sure where to turn.  I feel like the list is getting longer and longer.  Maybe my questions are more about life in general.  Most of my friends (okay all) are not LDS. I wonder why...  Maybe because they are the ones who were most accepting of me.  And I won't ask family.  So here I sit pondering the great mysteries.

LOCK DOWN

The governor came out on Wednesday and ordered a lock down.  It seems like a good idea and will not changed our lives all that much.  We did decided that we would only go to the grocery store once a week we went last Friday.  We will go tomorrow which means it will be nine days.  Kids haven't been in a store in weeks.  Lots of time in the garden and working on yard projects.  It has been good and bad.  More family time and less running around.  But lack of structure over the past two weeks has been tough.  Tomorrow would be the day the kids start back to school.  It is likely they won't be going back at all this year.  Victoria will be the most effected.  No eighth grade graduation likely   The school could decide to bring back just eighth and 12th graders.  Either way they are all out until 4/20.  "distance learning" will start for the kids on 4/13.  Which is another reason I think they will end the schoo...

Feeling all the Feels

Right now I am feeling all the feels. We had such a great week with my nephew and Jake. The house is louder and has more enegy when all four kids are home. And our nephew is seriously one of favoriate people. He lets the boys hand on him and they just look up to him so muchd. So I am writting because I am not sure what else to do at this pount. I have been applying for a job(s) that I have been inspired to do for a long time. I have been really trying to to step upside of my comfort zone and apply for things that I know I can do although I have never done them before. I have been considering doing some writing and writing a book. I have no desire to be published I just want to be able to start being more creative . I have so many fears about so many things. Missy Kay turned 19 today and Andrew had his first tennis meet of the seaon. I am thankful for my people who show up to support and love us. There was this moment at the meet where one of the parents gave me haug aft...

When you know somebody is having a hard time in their marriage.  Pull them closer.  Ask to take the kids for a weekend.  Bring them dinner.  Reach out to them.  Ask them how they are doing.   Don't insist on visiting or having them visit you.  Know that their world feels like it is falling apart and it is taking every bit of energy to put on a good face for the kids and to work and run a household.  And it is has to be done while they continue to reside with somebody who they are struggling to have the most basic of conversation with.
