Crazy week!

Well, we moved last Saturday, it was an all day project as we have moved one hour north to Ogden.  I do not recall anyone having anything serious injury wise happen.  However, I did acquire a new and very large bone spur on my right heel next to my tiny arch.  OW!  I have had to purchase new tennis shoes and wear them everyday since to keep it from getting worse.  I hate wearing them all the time, bit this is better than having surgery at this point.  Anyway, our house is comming along, there have been no issues in getting unpacked, yay!
The kids like the new house and I love how peaceful the neighborhood is.  It has not been crazy with weird stuff, which is awesome.  I don't worry about anything odd in the middle of the night happening, in fact I sleep better than I have in years.  It is so nice to only hear a dog bark once in a while and no yelling or police next door.  That is a huge yay!  Our new ward is very noisy, although I love it.  They are so friendly and polite, love that.  Courtny finally got into school, that is a long story in itself, which took a week to do.  Sometimes I feel like people think I moved from a foreign country, weird but I think it will get better.  I have a neighbor that is the sweetest lady and has two adorable babies.  I am sure I will meet more people later, that will take time I am sure.  Anyway that was our week.  Write again soon, I hope.  :)

Moving day is nearly here! YIKES!

Well we are moving to Ogden.  I know crazy, but a prompting is a prompting and I will not question it.  The Lord apparently wants us there.  I have prayed and thought about this decision and after everything falling into place so easily, this is supposed to happen and thus we will go.


It reminds me a little of the story of Nephi in the Book of Mormon.  He said, as the song goes, "I will go and do the things the Lord commands."

So, off we go.  We move this coming weekend and I am stressed, nervous and excited all at once.  But, I know this will be a blessing.  Pictures of the new house will be posted soon here and on FB.

Life is great otherwise!

Quick one!

We have been having some issues with our home for a long time and within the past few weeks it has gotten to the point where I cannot take the Landlord any longer.  Sooooo..........We are moving!  I was prompted to move to Ogden, Utah by my sister.  I have never thought of moving north, but there it is.  So, after an e-mail and one phone call...........the process was started.  My brother in law called me within days of my call to my sister, told me about a house in the neighborhood and their ward and thats how it started and ended.  I will now start traveling on Front Runner to Salt Lake everyday for work.  I am excited and nervous, but this is what the Lord wants.  I know not why, but I will follow.

Wow! January will be gone............

With Jsnuary  about to be over I find myself wondering what have I been doing?

Here is the list of events in the past few weeks:

• January 1st- Picked the kids up from their father, YAY!
• Late night January 1st-  Merry Christmas to my kids.  We opened presents and talked until the wee hours of the morning catching up.  They were so happy to be home they did not want to go to sleep.  (me either)
• Told Land Lord I cant take all the problems with the house anymore and I will be moving ASAP.  
• Church planning meeting the same night I spoke t my Land Lord.  Out until 9:30 with no dinner.
• The stake started a new young singles adult ward, my son left our ward to attend.  So weird not having him at church with us. 
• Filed a complaint with the BBB in reference to the dating site I have been on since October.  They are saying I do not have an account, yet I have proof I do.  So that will be an interesting one I am sure.
• Now paying my attorney more because the Attorney General has filed a case for Child Support against my ex-husband,  Yay!  More money I don't have because he is so great at avoiding responsibility I get to pay for an attorney Love it....NOT!
• Prompted by the spirit to contact my sister to move up North to Ogden.  I know NORTH!  But, I feel good about it.  I have prayed and feel it is the best for us right now.  I know it's a long way away, I will be in Salt Lake for work five days a week and back at least once or twice a month to visit people.  I promise.
• January 24th-  My Mom turned 71, and she looks great!  Also, my wonderful son, Christopher, finally graduated High School!  I HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE!  I am very proud of him.
• I now have two "adult" Children..............YIKES!  I feel older now!  lol
• My Son told me he want to join the Army.  That was a long talk!  I cried because I am worried about his safety due to the timing of joining.  He said he knows I struggle since his dad left so he was planning to mail his whole paycheck to me each month.  I have a wonderful son who wants to take care of me, isn't he gallant!  This is all happening so fast!

So, this has been my month!  Ups and downs, tears and laughter!  Hugs and kisses.

I have the best kids ever and I am so very proud of them.

Happy New year.  January will soon be gone, crazy.

Painful Good Byes~ Miss you Cyndi!  Love you so very much.

Whether we were going out with friends or hanging with family we still had a pretty good year in 2010.  Why take an actual vacation when you can be with those you love and have fun spending time together?  I think not taking an actual vacation was worth it this year. 

We have been to the zoo, gone boating, first dates, Homecoming, Eagle Projects, concerts and even weekend doing things for others who are less fortunate.  What year!

There have been so many great ups this year that it wont matter we didn't spend a fortune going anywhere.  I remember my kids saying they had fun doing one thing or another.  One even said this is great we should do it more often.

When you have the love of a family and great kids life is so worth living.  At least we think so.

The only sad thing that we will remember this year is the passing of our Sister, Friend and the kids Aunt, Cynthia Lynn Kilpatrick Davies.  She led a very difficult life, although she was blessed with amazing nephews and nieces, cousins, siblings and other amazing family and friends she suffered from Spina Bifida and other physical ailments her entire life.  We will bury her in a couple days, but her love, smile and beautiful sparkling eyes will always be with us in our hearts and pictures of our lives with her.  We love and miss you greatly Cyndi.  Run girl, run!  No more braces or crutches or wheelchairs!  You are whole again, do the things you were unable to do on earth and kiss my dad for me!
