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.

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 ...

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...

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...
