Elections and a Gracious Loser

Sometimes you  lose.  On Friday it was Jake.  He told me he wanted to run for 6th grade class rep.  Sure why not.  I signed the paper granted permission and helped with the posters.  Elections were Friday and he lost.  Two girls won.  One I know and one I don't.  Jake was gracious and said that they will be great for the job.  Responsible and respectful.  Some kids took it harder.  That is okay. 

Sometimes you win...
Thursday Jake had a race where he PR'd by a good minute and a half over the last race.  Saturday he had another race.  He took another 20 seconds off his time. 

Two more meets.  And then we are done.  Until the next sport. 

Life is good.  Busy weekend.  Friday both the older kids were spending the night elsewhere.  Victoria with her cousin and Jake for scouts.  We went to dinner at my mom's.  Saturday we went to Touch a Truck where the little boys and Victoria were able to climb in trucks.  UPS, SWAT, School Bus, Towing truck, some construction, the Ice truck was there.  And a few others including Idaho Power.  Boys had a blast.  We then came home dropped boys off at my moms and went to Jake's race.  It was HUGE.  4100 kids all different levels.   Then Lee took all the boys home and Victoria and I went Women's Conference with my mom and then out dinner.  Today I took the kids to church while Lee stayed home with snotty Luke.  We had lunch and then met up with Lee's cousin and kids at the park. 

Great weekend.  Wish I would have taken WAY more pictures. 

Now I am at work.  Hoping any crisis happen quickly so I am not here late.  I am sad to see the weekend end.  But tomorrow are plan is a pumpkin patch. Should be fun. 

Lee finds out tomorrow if he needs another procedure done.  This has been going on for way too long. We are all ready for it to be over.

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...

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...

It has been a week

Here is how the week went Monday: OUr 25th anniversary. I was sick. We went and tried a Cuban restrant not as good as the food we had in Miami but it was good. We love trying new local places. It ended in tears. I won't go into all the details but I am relaizing that this is not the marriage I want. I am open about what I need and we will go from there. Luke started wrestling. Tuesday: End of the year banquent for Luke and Andrew. Luke recevied the "Most Improved" Awared. Here is the thing about that. His coach talked about how during summer practice he wouldn't even run 100 yeards. He would just stop. At some point after the first meet it clicked and he just ran and did what he needed to do. He went up adn accepted the award with such confidence. Wednesday: Both boys had activities. Andrew had stayed home from school due to not felling wel. My guess is he just needed a rest. He was feeling up for going and making pizzas at the Bishop's hous...
