2015

I spent 2015 focusing on me.  Getting me healthier emotionally, physically and mentally.  After years of being drained with graduate school, three miscarriages, two kids in a less then 18 months in addition to the two I already had, dad's battle with cancer and then losing the battle.  Then there was a collicly baby.  Nearly a decade of CPS.  I wasn't healthy in so many ways.

This year in some ways was hard.  Really hard.  Luke getting ran over and the strain it was on the family was the hardest thing.  But in most ways this year  was amazing.  By focusing on me and my needs I was better able to meet the needs of others.  But the year was not with out battle scars.  It was not with out pain and some huge growing experiences.  But at the end of 2015 I am mentally in such a better place.  I am physically stronger then I have been in years.  I have a better relationship with my kids and spouse.  I have focused on those relationships that are true friendships and limited contact with those people who don't support me. I feel more spiritual and  more empowered.  

I didn't just survive this year I really feel like I focused and I lived this year.  There were so many adventures that we did. And so many more I want to do. 

I head into 2016 feeling on top of the world.  We have been blessed this year and I have felt the presence of angels more times then I can count.  We have been blessed with family and friends.  We cried we laughed.  We got to our breaking point and came back.  We came a few inches from losing our baby. We have made mistakes and have done some stuff right.   

With the end of 2015 a few hours away I feel this is has been a great year.

Here is what we have been up to for the past couple of weekends,  Jake had his first soccer game.  Shawn came to visit.  Lee got a new RC truck that he loves and so do the kids.  They spend the weekend chasing the truck which totally wore them out.  We did some gardening.  Victoria and I went to Weiser to a baptism of one of my previous foster kids.  It was so great to see the family again.  I really miss seeing them on a monthly basis.  We played newspaper tag with Shawn and Demitri. Grandma Gina and Grandpa Don stopped by for a little while on their way home.  Oh yea and the primary had a bug day where the kids dressed up like bugs.  Victoria was a butterfly and Jake was a bee.  I  have four more days left of the semester.  Lee is in Kamiah this week to spend some time with Shawn before basic as well as some other things. 

Time to dust this off

L:ong story short I came across something that made we want to add back to this. Not sure why but hwere we go. Life is constantly chaning and I feel so mnuch surround bu death lately. 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...

2010 GOALS

I have decided to list my 2010 goals on here.  Not sure if it will motivate me more or not.  It is becoming more and more clear to me that we have way too much stuff in our lives.  So in a nut shell I am going to get rid of debt, rid of stuff and rid of some excess weight. So at the end of 2010 I will be free of all debt except for student loans and mortgage , free of 30 pounds and free of all the clutter in my house. I know that won't be easy but I figure if I take it one day at a time it will be manageable.  I believe by doing this I will be healthier and happier. Lee will be graduating this year and we will be celebrating our tenth wedding anniversary.  I am so excited about where this year will take us.
