This is a...

Farewell to our condo! As of this past Thursday we sold it and are no longer home owners! We are sad to leave LONG life friends and our neighbors. But it is a RELIEF to have such a heavy burden lifted after 3 years. We learned a lot about how much we didn't know going into it, but it's been for our own good to have this experience. Many wonderful things have happened to us in this home...one of the most important to us thus far is our little baby girl, and all that we saw, felt, and grew from in loosing her. However, it was time for us to move. And we are feeling good about it!

We will post pictures of our new place soon. We are renting a very charming little home in Logan closer to USU. The doggies have a yard! THEY LOVE IT, and so do we! It's all so new still but feels like home. My work hours were cut A LOT and what a blessing it is to be living where we do now. Some positive things will come of it though. It's going to be a great challenge and plans we had will have to change.. :( BUT, it will be okay. Somehow...

While we cleaned up the condo for our buyers, Emil wrote my a cute note...

Hmmm, I DO love me a POLY! :)

Shu fly don't bother ME!

Well I'm trying NOT to be this way, but I feel incredibly bizzle!! I work 9-5 and go straight to school. Have class until 9 or 10p.m., get home do homework, and then try to pack up boxes with Emil for a bit, and CRASH. Then I get to bed and wake up around 5a.m. (or earlier) and do more homework. Both Emil and I have keep this schedule since he got back from Israel...that is a post for him to make not I... We are busy, but not too busy for each other. We make that time, even if it's 5 minutes. We make that time to focus on nothing else but each other. Our sweet doggies go on morning walks with us and that's about it until the weekend...we throw stuff around in the house for them to play with but the poor things! They are copping with our schedules alright, but it makes them tired so that's good! We also try to take some personal time in the mornings and somehow...we get what we need done. Weekends are even more packed with the things to do for packing up boxes and throwing junk away. We hope to be moving soon...but we'll see! I feel like I'm being helped sooo much with school. I've always struggled with school. My drug calculations class is very hard. Keeping up on having a test every class period is new for me. I have goals that I want to keep and I really have no other way to do it but with this schedule 6 days a week..somehow it's coming together...but there is more to come.

I must do my work not just have faith that I'll pass classes...and I'm doing the best with what I have to work with. I hope it is enough... However, I've experienced things that have taught me that somehow, we have even more than we know. Sometimes it may feel like we aren't ready for that knowledge. But there it is anyway.

I'm so thankful for prayer. So thankful for who I've become.

I don't mean to have disappeared. I don't mean to be sooo absent. I am just FOCUSED. And I'm trying to make it a new habit! Even then I feel that my slack is being picked up by an unseen, but very real force. I'm glad to feel it with me. And so starts another busy day!!

Happy Birthday to me!

Well.....I'm officially 26!!! YAY!!!

Do you feel like this too?

Lots to do at home?

Piles of business to take care of at work?

Even more to do at school?


This about sums up my stress levels, not to mention:
Cars duties, animals, being a wife, church callings, family things, books I'd like to read, cooking meals, and a little bit of NOTHING every once and a bit. SIGH.
