So I spoke to soon. I'm not pregnant anymore. we were going to wait to tell anyone about the pregnancy and we should have. oh well, that's how life goes sometimes.

other than that things are going great. we have had a lot of people look at our house, no offers yet, but that's ok.

Ive been doing lots of gardening and canning this year which is a lot of work but a lot of fun at the same time. I'll be sad to leave my garden, we finally got it how we like it!

OK!OK!OK! I'm updating already!

I guess there is a lot of stuff to catch up on.

I'm pregnant. FINALLY! I'm about 7 weeks along, just found out a few weeks ago. I'm feeling fine, I keep waking up waiting to be sick, but it has not come yet. thank goodness!

our house is for sale and we have a huge 7 foot sign on our front lawn. we are hoping to be in Cali sometime in December to get settled before tax season starts. we have been looking at places in Wilton. it will be weird but fun living there again. I just want to get some land! I was kind of sad when we put our house up for sale, but now I'm sick of having to keep our house clean so I'm super anxious to get it sold!

My little brother!

Today is the day that my little brother is going into the MTC. and from there he will be going to the Dominican Republic. I am sad that I was not able to go with my family to see him off as I had to return to Caifornia yesterday. I am so gratefull for my brother and the example that he is setting for my little boy. I will miss him so much, he brings so much joy to our family with his humer and his awesome spirit. I know that the poeple of the Dominican Republic will fall in love with him and the joy he brings to all that is around him. good luck david and we love you!

I was able to come home for a little over a week from california. it's really nice to have a break from taxes and just be home for a while. we had so much fun playing in the snow on saturday.

NEW FURNITURE!

not really, Simon made all of this and needed somewhere to set it up for pictures. it's really cool, not exactly my style, but it looks good. check out more stuff they did @ lignimago.com

The true meaning of christmas

As I was talking to Christin on the phone tonight, I realized how much this season means to me.
despite all the craziness that is going on around me and all the worries of money, health, family, friends, church and work, I still have this season to bring me a sense of peace. I thank my Heavenly Father for the Gospel in my life, for the support of my family.
Being a mother also brings a whole new meaning to the birth of Christ and I am so grateful for that small glimpse of that eternal perspective. I hope everyone has a meaningful Christmas!
