Why does crazy stuff happen to me???

I could post at least ten incredibly terrible embarrassing moments that you would wonder if they were true. If you actually believed you would then wonder why is she telling these things out loud. What is it about me that all these horrifying things happen. I am not sure. I am always running late and only half prepared maybe that is a recipe for disaster. The average embarrassing moment probably wouldn't even phase me.. I don't know what the deal is ANYONE,,, ANYONE???

Our newest LOVE

In september, my dad gave us a little shihtzu named chewbaca. My kids had no idea who that was. My dad gave matt a really bad time. I cant' believe your kids haven't seen star wars. So for weeks made tried to rent, buy, and borrow the star wars trilogy. Well without investigating further I threw a fit and said they were too young. I thought they would be scared. Well one day a few weeks later matt bought the original series and brought it home. I was surprised to find out they were only pg.. well we watched the first two in two days and the third the following weekend. It has been so fun my kids LOVE it. There is a star wars reference about every fifteen minutes in our house. We have every toy. We want to be star wars as a family for halloween this year. I have rededicated myself to trusting my husband..

What I worry about....

my kids being bullies at school
my belly fat
my laundry
my girls homework
If I am too mean
If I am too nice
dentist appt for my kids
my husband
If my kids are getting bullied or molested
how fast I run a mile
if my house stinks
If my kids are too involved or not enough
If my kids really have their own testimony
If I do enough service
where my phone is
If I have offended someone by my big mouthedness
my points
my sugar addiction
my shins
if I am late
my girls teachers.

Back to Blogging

Well I took a large hiatus from blogging and was facebooking most every day.. It is kind of lame. So I want to blog again.. If your blog is private reinvite me or invite me please..
I love to read someones blog when they are obviously just thinking aloud. (well typing) just baring there soul and telling you all they think,worry,dream, stress about. I feel like they let me into their world for a little while.. So my blog is going to take a more personal turn and if it makes you uncomfortable then just mind your business.

I am HOME!!!

As many of you know I left Lubbock with great hesitation. I was happy for matt to have a job he enjoyed but sad to leave. We had signed a lease to rent a house in north west tooele. While visiting our friends the bradshaws in may of 2008, we looked at a house just kiddie corner. We loved it. I was nervous about the neighborhood. It seemed a little more affluent then I was used to and it seemed an older area. Well it was ridiculously priced and we had just signed a lease. So we happily lived in our rental in a fun neighborhood with a bazillion kids. I was very pleasantly surprised by the school. Okay I am getting off track

So Christmas time comes around and the prices have dropped substantially I am getting antsy to buy. We find a house that is amazing.... Huge and fairly cheap but it was a home show house and had tons of amazing extras..

Alright a side note... Since Staley was in primary she has had all boys and one partially active girl in her class in three different wards always the same stats. So for two years I have been praying to find a ward with a really good friend for staley.

Okay so we are one and a half days away from closing on this house in a brand new development. only three other houses in the whole neighborhood. The night before we close the whole loan falls through.. I couldn't believe it I was CRUSHED.

So we were shell shocked and just finished out our lease.. two other times we look at the house by the Bradshaws. We talk the poor builder down three different times.

Well anyway the rest is history. I finally knew this house is our destiny. We had looked very seriously at ten or twenty houses and it was always this house.

I LOVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. We are encircled by the best neighbors. Today we had an impromptu bbq. After the BBQ there were 14 kids playing red rover in my backyard. I am hussling to finish so I can go beat a few other moms at a board game..

I have the best friends here. I didn't even need friends. I have 100s of amazing friends. But I know I have made lifelong support, help me when I am sick, help me raise my kids, friends. I hope to never leave. I want to grow old here and watch these kids graduate from high school.. Our ward is amazing I feel so close to everyone and we haven't even been here a year yet.
