Taking a break

Why hello there! It has been quite a long time friends.

I will be completely honest, this blog is at the very bottom of my priorities list at the moment.

Our family was saddened last week by the passing of a good friend and neighbor. It has made me reevaluate my life. We took a few days and went to St. George. It was fabulous to see the sun.

When we got back we attended the funeral. It was beautiful and heartbreaking.

Adam and I realized we are big whiners. It's hard to feel bad for yourself when you know there are 5 kids and a beautiful wife who have to go on without their father and husband.

I am very blessed. I have a smarty-pants husband who loves learning, goes to a good school and is doing well. I have two handsome lads who run into my room every morning to give me kisses. Although they are mighty naughty at times, they are wonderful. I have lots of family that lives close and I get to see often. I have great friends.

Life has really been put into perspective these last few months.

Where am I going with this? I don't really know. I've just realized how lucky I am, and want you to discover that for yourself too.

And since no post is complete without pictures...our trip to St. George!

We took lots of walks.

This is the moment both Jack and I realized I wasn't there to catch him...

Katie-was it someone in the ward that passed? That's such sad news, no matter what! Glad to hear you guys got away though. :) That's always nice.

I love the Jack picture, so so funny! And Sam should have been there for the group picture that Rhett, Catalina, and I took. He would have been exactly what were missing.

What a good reminder, it isn't really about telling yourself that "things could be worse" as much as remembering to say "things are really kind of awesome".
