I’ve had a lot of thoughts lately…Sometimes it seems like our days are so long, like they may never end. And then another week is passed and we are crossing off another one out here. As I turned in our 30 day notice I couldn’t help but feel like we just got here. And that’s because we did. But our time is short here, and thats a little bit exciting too. It’ll be so great to see all our family. I’ve missed them like crazy.
Our adventures weren’t too big this week. On Saturday we explored a new bayou and then took the kids to an amazing park! They loved and it, and there was a part of me that wished I was a kid so I could join in with them.
Today I feel so grateful for our family. Our little crew of 6 means everything to me. They are my whole world and I’m so glad they are mine forever. I’m so glad I have the chance to be with them all day, even though somedays are crazy long I wouldn’t change it for the alternative. I’ve been playing the 'what if’ game today and I’m so glad our world is what is.
I’m so glad we decided to move with Rob, and not just see him in between his quarters. Life would be so hard without him. I know that I can get through whatever is placed in front of me because he is walking right beside me! I’m so glad that Kylie and Max aren’t in school all day, I know I’d miss them like crazy! And there is a part of me that is thinking about homeschooling forever, just so I can keep them home with me! (and then we have a crazy day, and I think send them off now :) ) I’m so glad we followed a prompting and had Dane, and Londyn. I mean who has a kid while they are in school and have no job plans for 2 years!
A close friend of mine said she was done after three kids because she had moved twice before her baby was 6 months old and I couldn’t help but think about life when Max was born. We moved to Kanab right before, like 2 weeks before, he was born. And when he was less than 3 months old we moved to Nephi, and 6 months later moved to a different house in Nephi. Life was so crazy! I had 2 babies under 2!
But God had a plan and He knew that we needed a Dane and Londyn in our family. He knew that we were going to need a cowboy while we were in Monroe. He knew that we needed a baby girl to help us smile and remember to appreciate life. He knew I was going to need my Kylie, the sweetest girl who picks up on my feelings faster than I do. He knew we were going to need Max to keep me on my toes and ready for a wrestling match at any minute. And he knew that I needed Rob in my life. He has been the biggest, best blessing in my life! I'm so grateful everyday that our crazy chance meeting turned into the best adventure I could have imagined. He is my best friend and I'm grateful to wake up next to him each morning.
Heavenly Father always has a plan for us, and I’m grateful for the chance to follow His plan and have faith in Him. Rob talked in church today, and you know I paid way better attention than I would have had it been someone else. But I was grateful for his words to remember.
He was talking about remembering the times we’ve been blessed; all the times the Lord has been there for us. I know there have been way more times than I can count that He has been there for me, and I’m so grateful to remember all the times He’s blessed my life and the lives of my kiddos.
See I told ya, lots of thoughts tonight. Oh, I almost forgot, Londyn has started taking steps. She loves to stand up on her own, in the middle of the room. And will walk with anyone or anything that will help her. It’s crazy that 1 year ago she was still in my tummy, and I was huge pregnant. And now she is gibbering, and starting to walk. She’ll be 1 in less than a month, she came exactly as we had planned, and I love her more and more everyday.
Hope you have a fantastic week!
