nope nope nope

Well, to all of you who know us well enough to know what is going on...Mark didn't get the job he was interviewing for in St. George. My heart hurts over it but all will work out. We are still moving forward and feel that the Lord is directing us in the way we need to go. I love all of our good friends who have been fasting and praying for us.

Love ya.

Waiting

Waiting, Waiting, Waiting........I am not good at waiting. I think I have eaten 6 bowls of Ice cream...with super yummy homemade hot fudge sauce, I never realized that I am def. an nervous eater. Caught up with some great old friends of ours. It is crazy how our lives intertwine and others really shape our lives in so many ways. Great memories...and great stories to tell our kids. Everyone keep Mark in your prayers as we are waiting to hear back on an awesome job opp.

The kids are great. Sydney is learning to read, and Rowyn is talking more and more everyday. This past week as we were passing a bunch of scroungy road workers she yelled at the top of her lungs, " Hey strangers, We are going to geegys to play in the water." She was so proud of herself. Cute stuff. I love this age.

Everyone have a great week and much love goes out to our friend Jasen....who is finally getting MARRIED!!!! YAY!!!!

Life is good

Life is good. We are still waiting to find out about interviews. Mark is working hard to get the house fixed up. We had a cute young couple drive past our house and ask if it was for sale....we said....yup...in the next few weeks it will be. funny. Heavenly father is bringing them right to the doorstep. So keep us in your prayers.

frustrations

Hey there,

Sorry it has been so so so long. We are so busy. Work, house, kids, church, camping, living eating. It all just adds up and it is crazy around our house. The whole house seems to be under construction. Boxes and bins of thing everywhere. But even when we are stressed and crazy, we are ever so happy to be a family. We went camping a few weeks ago and had a wonderful time. Poor Rowyn got a nasty spider bite but I think she was the only casualty.

Rowyn had a birthday....I can't believe she is 2. Time flies. She is growing into such a beautiful sweet girl. We have really enjoyed watching....and listening ( oh boy does she make us laugh) to her grow. Pictures....of course. Enjoy.

Eye openers

Have you ever had a moment that breaks you down to the point you see clearly. I had one just last weekend. a few months ago I was watching a movie that I almost always cry too.....but nothing....I tried to remember the last time I cried......I couldn't.....maybe the last time my mom was here. 2 years!! It had been 2 years since I had really cried. So I was a bit worried...that I might be getting too introverted. I really do keep my emotions bagged up. So imagine my surprise this past weekend when something quite silly happened and I just happened to offend a little girl. My heart was broken. I cried for about 5 hours straight. I couldn't stop the tears....i couldn't stop the heartache. All of the things I have been repressing came rushing in. All I could think was I need to go home. I need to be surrounded by more of the people I love. I need my mom and dad....whom I haven't held in my arms for a year now. It all hit hard and my sweet husband felt overwhelmed that he couldn't comfort me enough to help me stop crying. Needless to say I feel much better now and I am glad that all that repressed frustration with life is out.

I really need some direction right now. Utah is our destination.....where, when, how, and why....are in the lords hands now. Please keep us in your prayers as we try to sell our house.

New Calling

So....I never did tell ya'll what my new calling is. I am now the Primary chorister....or as they call me the singing time lady. It is a bit stressful. I feel like I am there entertaining them for an hour. It is draining....and I need loads of ideas. So give em up....all of those fun ideas you are all holding....give them to me. I need more time and creativity if I am going to be able to pull this off and get those little ones singing these songs.

No laughing.

Today I found some old photos from when I worked for the Utah Shakespearean festival. Oh what I would give to have that body back.

The first one was super fun. Lots of dancing.




This was me studying my Organic Chemistry test while waiting for the indian scene in Peter Pan.



We were quite the dangerous group of indians




and Mermaids. I loved flying with the mermaids. Someday....I want to do that again.



I love memory lane.
