Amazing Friends

I have such sweet friends. You know who you are. I love you guys! Thank you so much for all you have done for me! I will be forever grateful I have such good friends in my life.

Dear Universe

I just read an email from my most previous ward announcing the very unexpected death of Forrest Mooey. I didnt know him well, except that we were ward missionaries together, and he is a recently graduated attorney. His wife gave birth to their second little girl while I was in the ward, and they have a 3 year old. I am heartbroken for their loss. It seems as if death has been on my mind a lot lately. I seem more and more nervous about losing someone close to me. Maybe it has something to do with being a mother and feeling to need to protect my my son and family before anything else. I dont know how I would react to such a loss. I am so devastated for this family. I am certain many tears will be shed for this family and their loss. They will certainly be in our prayers as they grieve and as we grieve for their loss with them. If I have anything to tell the universe tonight it is that I am so grateful for every moment we have to be together as a family, and If anything ever happened to any one of them I would want to remember that each day I was given with them was a gift. An incredible gift.

Wishlist.

Arent these Le Creuset Pots incredible? I am lucky enough to have flat cherry red pan and a royal blue casserole dish in the brand but I LOVE these pots. I want one in each of these colors....the turquoise caribbean, the yellow, and lime green! I want some sauce pans, and casserole dishes. Lucky they run about 200.00 huh. Who needs em eh? But they sure are beautiful.

Carmel Apples

Carve Pumpkins

Visit a farm (Apple picking, Pumpkin picking, Animals, Trees, A RED BARN (a must within a must))

Tricker treating! Henry will be old enough dont ya think??

Kids Halloween Costume contest. Nuff said.

New watch hobby!

Hi!

I have picked up a rather fun new hobby. I LOVE making watches! I keep waiting for my thrill to die out a little, but I am having so much fun!! Check out my new blog! watchmesparkle2.blogspot.com

My crazy life

When Josh and I moved out here a little over a year ago I was a full time stay at home mommy. I still am, but I have picked up a lot of..."hobbies" along the way. Mostly to give me something to do, and a little money to help with 1/284374th of the bills. Here goes:

-Nanny: Jake and Kaley Monday - Thursday (Drop em off and pick em up from school. Monday is their short day so we hang out a little longer then)

-Crepes! Every other week I help out at a crepes stand at our local farmers market

-Jazzy: 3 days a week I babysit at a local workout studio for just an hour in exchange for free classes and a little moola

-Thursdays: I may be babysitting a little girl from 9-12

-With the help of a friend who took me very serious a year ago when I mentioned that I really wanted to be apart of the spouses association, she passed it along, and I am now currently the President for the J. Rueban Clark Law Society Spouses Association. Woot Woot!

-My own little business. Its a secret. Dont tell :)

I have really enjoyed all of these new activities in my life, but I do really miss hanging out with my friends. What happened to our weeklys girls??! Can we please do something?!

Until next time.... It may be awhile! Apparently I have gotten a little busy :)
