Life

The last little while has been quite the whirlwind for us. We moved into town last weekend and are still somewhat is boxes. The house we moved to is a lot smaller so we are trying to figure out how to cram in here. I am very thankful for this place to live however. We now have a dishwasher and the whole house is newly remodeled. I am a couple of blocks from work now and won't be spending as much on gas. Mostly, its a place that I think we can be comfortable having a new baby in.

Speaking of babies....I have another ultrasound tomorrow, but on the first one the doctor is 85% sure that we're having a girl! I'm so excited. She has been moving around a lot lately and it is fun to feel. I also think Joe is starting to get more excited, even though he was wrong and its not a boy. He thinks he might have to go out and buy a shotgun now though....


We were in a stake play this weekend. It was a liken play about the first Christmas. Joe and I were Mary and Joseph and we had some singing parts. I was pretty proud of myself for doing this play because I have been so nervous about singing in front of people for the longest time, I'm no Broadway star by any means, but I am trying to use the talents that I have been given. My parents , Aunt Deanna, and Katie were able to come to the show last night. I'm glad that they were able to come.

This next week we are on to continuing to put our house together, ward party with Joe playing guitar on Wednesday, cleaning the church on Thursday, and I have to speak in sacrament next Sunday.

Things have really been going well for us and we are so blessed, I just wanted to say how really thankful I am. I have been thinking about things a lot today because my cousin Lindsay's husband was killed in a work related accident today in Oklahoma. He was a really good guy and helped Lindsay through some really tough times. My heart and prayers go out to her, her family, and his tonight at this very difficult time. Sometimes the unthinkable happens and you can't understand it, but I do know that Heavenly Father is a merciful God and that somehow this will all work out. It still isn't easy. I love you Lindsay and Tyson. I hope you know how much we all love you.
