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.

Random Thoughts

I sometimes wonder where to draw the line in this whole blogging thing.  I could make us look like the "perfect" family or I could deal with all of our disappointment and make everybody think that we quite possible have the worse life ever.  Or maybe there is a middle ground somewhere that I have yet to find in this blog.  Today was a rough day.  Don't get me wrong I am so excited that everybody around me is having babies.  But for some reason today I was caught up in the losses all over again.  I am wondering when it stops.  Maybe it never does.  Maybe it will be a life time of wondering what if I would have gone full term.  Several people have asked when (or if) we are going to have another baby.  I am not sure.  Sometimes that answer is yes and sometimes it is no.  But one thing is for certain it isn't right now.  Really I don't need to have a ton of kids to fill some void.  I love my two kids and if that is all ...

Family News

What a weekend.  I blew out a tire 5 minutes into the trip and then had to switch out vans we hit some snow but nothing major.  The kids had a blast playing with the boys and although the bishop spoke too long at the ceremony the wedding was nice.  The reception was nice and the kids ran around with their cousins and Lee and I were able to catch up with everybody on their lives.  I am glad our kids are older and don't need constant supervision.  Several of Lee's cousins have kids in the 12-24 months age range.  That age is so hard and there was no way they would be able to run around with out adult supervision.  It was nice to get some family news like one cousin is a polygamist and another is getting married very shortly.   Another is traveling the world and another has made their home in the mountains.  One cousin is trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon and another is just trying to survive her husband's major depression.  Sev...

February

February was a tough month both mentally and financially.  The light at the tunnel was Phoenix.  Kids had a blast and it was great way to end an otherwise crazy chaotic month.  My goals were blah.  We paid off  more credit card debt then I though but I didn't sew as much as I wanted and I didn't run as much as I should have.  I also didn't read or declutter as much as I planned to.   Although I did reach my goal for losing weight.  So not a total loss. At some point I will file taxes and write a check to the state of Idaho.  I keep putting it off for several reasons.  At some point we will a check from FSA and our gap insurance.  Although a ten page EOB probably will take a while to get through. I think it was just one thing after another and I never felt like I gained my footing.  Maybe because I worked more.  Which lead to more in savings.  Still not where I want to be.  But better then it coul...
