Listening....

I have been trying to be more focused on service.  I had a moment that came up that I felt I needed to respond. 

So one of the mom's in my old mom's group started selling clothes.  Leggings and such.  She posts the new ones she is selling and then people state if they want to buy them.  I was scrolling through her page and all the comments that others had written.  "those are so cute" " I would love them in my size."  blah blah

One of the comments the girl states she loved them.  Long story short she wanted them but her husband had just lost his job and her mother had died all with in a week.  I immediately felt as though she needed those leggings.  I text the girl I knew and told her I would pay for the leggings and she should send them to this girl. 

This other person wasn't looking for a hand out.  I have never met her before.  But I knew she needed something to feel as though somebody cared.  In that moment she needed those leggings.  Sounds dumb.  But I know I did the right thing. 

She posted on facebook how much she appreciated the gift it made me cry.

This is only one of many things that has happened over the past few weeks where I have felt the need to step in and do something.  I am now a bone marrow donor.   There is another organization that I thought about voulenteering for but always talked myself out of it.  I feel,now is the time to do what I should have done months ago

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...
