Day 6-Marriage

So I was planning on writing about marriage today before the Supreme Court made their decision this morning. 

 Getting married was one of the best things I ever did.  Despite being young.  I will encourage my children to be much older when they get married then we were.  I say 25 is a good age. Anyway, today is our 14th wedding anniversary.  It has been quite the 14 years.  In 14 years we have lived in two homes.  We have four children. Seven pregnancies. 8 motorcycle trips. We have gone through countless jobs.  We have each lost a parent.  We have accumulated one associates degree, two bachelors and one masters degree.  We have way more student loans then I like to talk about.  I have gone through four cars and Lee two motorcycles although he has only had one car.

Marriage hasn't always been easy and there were times when I have been tempted to throw in the towel and spend the rest of my life sitting on the beach somewhere.  But at the end of the day I love the stability of marriage.   There is something about the security of having Lee and knowing that he can't just bail with out legal action.  :)  Lee told me early on that divorce wasn't an option and it never has been for him.  I am grateful for that. 

I believe that love is one of the things that will last through the eternities and I am so in love with the fact that Lee is with me FOREVER!

I am so blessed that my parents were such a good example.  45 years of marriage.

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...

Time to dust this off

Not diredctly although I fee like that is coming but more just heartbreak for so many around me. Yesterday Victoria quailfied for state. It was an answer to a prayer. I prayed she would qualify and felt strongly she would. As we left her away at the meet she was certain as were we that she hadn't qualified and then the clouds parted and she will be able to run. She told me she prayed that she would have a good last high school race. and her last race was not grea. There were tears. And rears when she called me to tell me she qualified. So rad trip to ther side of teh state next weekend Wednesday Jake is going through the temple. So many mixed feelings for so many reasons. I shouldn't expect people to show up but sometimes it is just so hard when my mom is the only "church...

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...
