SATURDAY!!
I am feeling good its Saturday! Time to gear up for my favorite day of the week, and reset my ways for the next crazy week! Saturday is wonderful because its the only day of the week when I actually get to decide my schedule! Nothing telling what I have to do or when. I hope you all have a fabulous Saturday too!

something in the air.
I don't know what it is about today, but it just needed to be a blogging day. This morning was uneventful, which to me these days is like a vacation, there was nothing on the "HAVE TO DO RIGHT NOW OR ELSE EVERYTHING BLOWS UP!" list....sweet Joey was sick, so I was forced to get some phone calls done, watch a little project runway and rock my baby. It was nice.
This afternoon I painted the crown molding in the family room, celebrated the tile getting done in the bathroom, received a phone call that stressed me out, made a random dinner, and here I am.
The house is finally getting where it feel good. I look around and see many future projects, new base bords in the bedrooms, new door in livy and jacks rooms, Jackson would love some shelves in his room and maybe a door handle =) But all in all each and every thing we do from next week out, will only make our home nicer then it already is, which we think is pretty nice! I will have to post some pictures when I get to our other computer..where they are stored.
so here I am just feeling odd and grateful for life all at once. we have been so abundantly blessed right now, I dont even know where to start to thank my Heavenly Father. I can not remember a time in our marriage when he has poured out so many blessings at one time for us. Of course In my mind I feel very confused and conflicted at this time..it seems like when there are blessings, its also the time when I don't deserve it the least, grateful for them, but confused as to why the Lord is so gracious to a unworthy soul sometimes..
I have had to make many changes to adapt to our new busy life of three kids, and law school. It often causes me to reflect on who I am and where I am going. I find my self looking back to where I have been, its almost like I am grasping desperately at that former me knowing she was pretty cool( in a few select areas), and yet I have changed, I am not the same and who I become is left for me to determined, I feel caught between past and future...is this a mid life crisis I am having?!? lol. It sounds more serious then I mean it. But it has been in the air for a while and I feel it pulling me in...and yet the "it" I describe is unidentifiable. I don't know where I am headed in the near future, and yet I feel "it" out there as if I am searching and "it" is waiting and at some point, I will know I have found what I am looking for. Oddly enough I found my self reading a similar statement in Sarah Pailin's new book. she describes the time between one of her endeavors and the run for Governor. I related to what she said, I don't think her path is mine, I just related to the feeling. So I know I am not crazy, just searching, I will find it.
I am not alone. In this grand journey I have many things( to clarify in saying "things" I mean the gospel, scriptures, ect.) and many people who love me and want to see me succeed even if the" it" I am searching for is just learning to love in greater lengths or in a deeper way, or reaching out to some one I had not thought of, or finding more peace in the reading of a book to my angels instead of letting lives many diversions capture my attention. It doesn't matter where I am headed for now, as long as I do what I know I should and have eternal goals (which I happen to have. =) ) it will all work out. Time to get on my knees...get up... and go to WORK! And In the mean time I just keep reminding my self of what Sis. Wilson taught me: To look behind and examine my past plowed rows, only make crooked one moving forward.
I must embrace to good of the past and use it to create a better straighter stronger row in the future!

Its the New year!
Well since its a new year I am determined to start blogging again. Its something I love and Its something I have not been doing, with life being so CRAZY! This move took everything out of me and more.
It was a much longer process then expected, with a short stay at the in-laws, then a quick move in, with out great friends it could not have ever happened. But that was only the start. we Painted Thursday and Friday, moved in Saturday, my mom came to town Sunday, we unpacked all we could Monday and Tuesday and by Wednesday we rollin' out to southern Cali for thanksgiving. It was MAD. The great news is; we love our new home. It needs work still, I think we underestimated the amount of work it needed at first, BUT it feels good, and it fits us.
Jackson has had some blood work done, here is a crazy thing. The results told us he was allergic to Dairy and peanuts...NOT wheat or gluten . you know, the thing we have been avoding like the plauge for three years now. SO for the last several weeks we have had both our boys on a strict diet of No DAIRY-NO PEANUTS-NO WHEAT-NO SOY to get their bodies healthly and strong to figure out whats really going on. It has been interesting. It leaves us with rice, veggies, fruits and meats. the dairy is kicking my butt a little bit. Two days ago I decided to add wheat to jacks diet and see how it went.....we were at a buffet. He was SO excited, I think even more then on Christmas. He piled his plate with noodles and fried chicken, potatoes dusted in some wheat based topping. HE LOVED IT. By that night the coughing and wheezing told me that no matter what the blood work says, hes got some issue with wheat, maybe someday we will figure out what. Joeys is reacting the same.
Yaya is good. Bossy right now, she thinks she is the mommy of the house (seriously). the other day we took the kids for a "special" treat, we ate dinner at Sam's Club ( aren't we just crazy! lol), Joey knocked my drink over and before I could even move, Yaya was running to get napkins and rushing to get back but she didn't stop there, oh no, the little mommy of the house jumped down on the floor and cleaned the mess lickety split. we had to tell her it was " clean enough" before she would get up.
Anyway thats a weird and short update. I can't wait to tell you all about today, but hopefully with some pictures...just think this one word.."PORKAS" and then know it should be said orca's -my kids just refuse to believe me and grandma. I love the life I am living! =)
