BUSY.BUSY.BUSY

This is just a short little post! I started my first week of work on Monday at Thanksgiving Point at the Emporium, and I love it! everyone it great and so very nice! Kyle is keeping busy with his work, they have tons of work so lots of overtime! so our days have consisted of going to work eating dinner and going to bed and that's about it nothing to exciting, I'm over at Kailee's apt right now using the Internet because we still don't have cable, Internet, kitchen table or couches. When things settle down I will post some pictures and give you a better update but until then I hope everyone is doing good!

A year has come and gone, since our lives were turned upside down.

A year ago at this time I didn't know how we were going to make it through all this.

But we are, day by day.

when your in the moment of something horrible happening, your scared, you just want to curl up in a ball close your eyes and never wake up until you know its over with, but we couldn't we had to be strong, for the family.

when your in the moment of something horrible, you pray over and over, you think your not strong enough to go through all this, that your not going to make it, but we are making it, its been a whole year.

It wasn't an easy year, and its still not easy but we are making it.

There are times where I still asked the Lord why? I don't know why I ask him this, I know he isn't going to tell me, not yet.

It hasn't just been the accident there is so much more, each of us have gone through our own trials at this time, but we are still being strong for each other, where does this strength come from?

Faith. Love. Humility. Being a family, a close family.



Its hard being back in a place where I don't want to be, Yes I have lots of friends and family that live there and I miss them but its not a place for me anymore.
I don't feel comfortable there, people treated my family horribly through hard times, and we found out who really cared for our family.
They are the ones that stuck with my family, they are the ones that call my family just to see how they are doing and to let them know they are still praying for them and love them, and I appreciate those people, I have true love for them, because they helped us be strong.
so now it can only be a place to visit.


The hardest thing for me to learn through all this and more is that I'm not in control, the Lord is.

I've always been a control freak, and when I'm not in control it scares me.

I can control the outcome of things by the decisions I make but I can't control things that are supposed to happen.

I can live my life the way I am supposed to and things will go a lot smoother, or I can have the strength that I didn't know I had, but I still can't control what is supposed to happen.

Live your life the way your supposed to.

So here's to another year, making it day by day.

4th week

The 4Th and final weekend of July we all headed down to New Mexico to visit my parents and the kids, it was so good to see them all I have missed them so much and it was good to have all the family together on a little mini vacation. We all had a blast from staying up late talking and catching up, going to the swimming pool, going out to eat, playing in a softball game, to having our annual butt kicking in bowling by Megg and Kade!
Deja at the swimming pool waiting to get in, I know I take so many pictures of her but you can't blame me look at how beautiful she is!

some of us resting in the shade getting ready for a couple more hours of swimming!


After swimming we all got ready and headed for the mall, to do some window shopping! and eat at a place I cannot remember the name of, but we all had a fun time there and had lots to eat especially Kyle!
yep he ate all this and more!

The family at dinner!

Saturday we played in a softball game, I completely bombed, it had definitely been a while! we then headed to the bowling alley, every time we all go bowling we have a couples competition and yes Kade and Meggan kicked our butts as usual, but we almost had them!

and these are the teams....

and Deja slept for a little while, after she woke up she was trying to figure out what we were all doing and enjoying the lights!

After a fun night of bowling we went back to my parents house and relaxed, this picture of Deja cracks me up she wasn't ready for my flash!

Sunday we all went to my parents ward and had a good day at church! We then had a Delicious home made dinner that my mom made, I miss having dinner at my parents house, I love my mom's cooking!

Kyle and Brandon, being well Kyle and Brandon!

We then headed home, I really didn't want to leave, I have really been missing my family, I hope we all can go back down there and spend more fun time with them!

on our way home we arrived in Green River to gas up and it started to storm right as we pulled up, it wasn't to bad, but once Kyle stepped outside it really started to come down he ran into the convenient store paid and ran out, he got in the car and he was soaked, water dripping off his hair his shirt and shorts were completely wet, I couldn't hold it back I had to start laughing! (isn't he just so handsome, even soaking wet!)
