Bundle of Fun

We were waiting in the lobby of Discovery Gateway.  Drew thought those things were a blast.  




He was gabbing quite a bit, but he slowed down once the camera was on.  
His silliness was still caught on tape.

The Latest

Throughout this summer, we have remained optimistic (for the most part) after many rejections from job inquiries and interviews.   About a month ago we reconsidered a business opportunity that we had up in MT with a new business my dad has been developing.  In May, after much prayer and consideration, we didn't feel that it was what we were to do, but this second time we felt a lot better and calmer about it.  We feel that we have the 'stamp of approval' from up above.  Therefore, we are moving Sept 23rd up to Big Sandy, MT. (about 11-12 hours north of here)

 We are excited to have a plan and know what we are going to be doing for the next year at least.  (We are going to try it for that long and see...)  There are many things that we will miss about living here in UT.  We love having things so close and convenient, but that just means that we are going to have to plan a little bit more and better than we do know as far as shopping goes.  We will miss being so close to the temple, and to other church facilities
.  

I will miss 'blending' in. I like just being a number in a sea of people.   I like being able to go to the store and not being noticed...nobody really in our business...which tends to happen in a small town.  I will miss having the 'arts' so close and living in the hub of where friends and family come or pass through.  I am really excited to live so close to my brother during his senior year of high school and be closer to my family in general!  There are some big advantages about living in a small town a far as people knowing you for business stuff is great.  I'm grateful for the opportunity to live in the 'mission field' again.  Random facts of Big Sandy Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam is from there, the world's largest tractor is there (Big Bud), and a friend of mine from hs is in a band Cody Beebe and the Crooks and they are making it big touring all over the country.  How's that for claim to fame?

In other news...Drew is going to be a big brother!!  In March we are welcoming a new, cute bundle into our family.  I'm nervous at times but now I'm more excited.  I think it will be great to have them close (19 month apart).  I'm excited to have a spring baby.  I have been sick again but I'm feeling much better faster than I did with Drew.  I'm 14 weeks and this week I had a few days that I didn't even feel pregnant...which is bliss after barfing your brains out for weeks on end.  Anyway so we have many new changes coming our way.

This was Drew's birthday cake! Happy Big 1, Buddy!


 Don't look too closely at the cake. :)

I think it was a success.
