Thanks a bunch!

I just wanted to say thanks to all of you for your love, support, prayers and fasting in our behalf. Thanks to Tiff and Matt for being willing to help, babysit, shop or just talk to me when I need it. My neighbors are so good to let the kids play and to visit with me too. I sure need an adult to chat with or I seem really desperate for conversation. Jared is loving his job and grateful to be back. I am glad to have him happy, but sad that we're so far apart. It's very different not having him around and as always, I took that for granted. Me and the boys are doing good. We have our good and bad days. Aidan tracked mud through the carpet last week--great for house showings! But LUCKILY, it dried, I brushed it, vacuumed it and you can't tell ( or at least I can't see any footprints!) I am learning to love my boys more each day. They are good kids, so different from each other, but I've realized what kind of love they need and how I can better take care of them. It's been a great experience. We've learned to work better together instead of always seeming to butt heads. I love it!

Keep praying for us. We really want to be together and start establishing some roots. I think we will again fast this next Sunday to see if we can't be down there before the holidays start. Who knows, we seem to like to move in November (every time we've moved it's been in November). So maybe this time will be the same.

Take care and LOVE you all!

Jared's last day, Owen's first day

We've been a bit busy with life.  We had many happy travels in August (as listed below) and then after that we began getting ready for Owen to go to Kindergarten.  August 28th was his first day.  He was pretty happy to be able to go to school.  We (I mean, I) had problems trying to find which bus he rode and what times.  It took us until after Labor Day to get it all figured out, plus we even got the buses to stop outside of our neighborhood (a big pat on the back to me) for him and another boy.  He loves to ride the bus with his friends to and from school.  He has a really nice teacher, Ms. Chris and is getting to know the kids in his class fast.  He's learning to write his letters and this week he'll have homework!!  I didn't seem too excited when I told him about it.  He said that it was boring :(  We'll see.  Me and Aidan have been hanging out while he's been gone.  I've been reading books (Sisterhood of the traveling pants series & now I'm on the last book of the Twilight series!!) like crazy.  It's been fun.


Last Friday was Jared's last day at USU.  I think he would have jumped for joy if he really wanted too.  There was so much drama last week that he was so glad to get out.  He's pretty giddy to get to St. George, but sad to leave us to sell the house.  We had a fast yesterday with our families to sell our house.  Thanks for those who participated on our behalf.  Please continue to pray for us, we need your faith!  We've had a couple of showing and tomorrow the realtors in the valley will be coming to preview it.  So we really hope that this will get us some showings.  He will be home this week with us and we hope to get many things done and to spend some time together before he goes.

We are happy for our time here in Logan.  I've learned many things and my testimony has grown.  Our ward has been so friendly and our neighbors great.  We will be sad to leave them.  We are excited to see our friends from St. George and to finally be able to plant our roots.

Thanks for all your love and prayers.  We really do love you and thank you for your support!!  We have the best family and friends in the whole world!!!

Much kisses and hugs!
