Life's Happenings

I wish I was more clever to come up with a GREAT opening line HA

Sometimes blogging feels like writing a talk, bla bla bla plain simple and strait to the point.. boring

Then I read my friend's blog's, and ward members that I think are so cute that I stalk lol. and think what's wrong with me.

anyways can you believe that I've been a mom for just over six months...? me neither.

I never would have imagined the joy that comes with motherhood. I love that little girl more then anything, and even at her worst moments it's hard to feel anything else if it's not joy and love.

 I never thought I would have the patience that I just do on long nights or when thing's don't go as planned for the day. I don't get all the laundry cleaned, folded and put away, or yard chores done. that's been my greatest challenge is just not having endless time to myself to get thing's done that normally are not a big deal. with all the beautiful weather I had been meaning to get the flower beds cleaned and the grass fertilized and the weed's ousted, that only took me two weeks.

at least I've become more confident about being able to get chores ran with her, one day we hit home depot, smith's and wal-mart  all in one morning just the two of us. home depot was the one I was most nervous about, I mean getting 3 HUGE bags of mulch and fertilizer with a baby are you kidding me. but it worked out just fine just like shopping, I hate the big carts so I just haul Bristol with me, I bet you wouldn't believe the arm strength i have in my left arm now lol.

along with figuring life out with a baby, Justin tested and interviewed with the Utah Highway Patrol again... and didn't get passed the interview again.

I almost swear it's my fault he hasn't gotten an officer job yet. this will make testing and interviewing with them four time's, he has passed the interview to go on to the back round twice. once they said he was to cocky for it to work and the other time said he was not confidant enough aaaa so frustrating.

 this is were the patience quote ^ comes in

I was talking to my mom about this and said I know there is stuff we still need to work on, but I was ssssooooo hoping he would have finally gotten a job he wanted. with there being so many state wide it could have been in cedar so I could keep my job and Bristol could keep going to grandmas. with everything Justin's doing with the YSA ward and we have a baby and working to be better, yes we still have many short falls ( a few of my new years resolutions haven't even been touched... reading the scriptures and praying together are a few) but come on, like what more do you want us to do before it's the "RIGHT TIME" and we get blessing's for what we are accomplishing.

this is when my mom said dear you are getting so many blessing's right now!!!

 you have a very health baby that was born with nothing wrong and is super smart, you quit kfc and haven't had money problem's and you have good job's and running car's.

you don't get to pick your blessing's when you want to but you need to be grateful for the one's you have.

HUGE HUMBLING MOMENT !!!

so we just keep moving forward and keep our Chin's up and keep working on being better.

in other news our spring flowers are just about to bloom.. if it keeps up city clean up is going to feel like forever to wait to clean out the chickens coop and chop down our last apple tree and not have to haul it out to the dump our self's. :( lol

here's to a better spring attitude and lots of rain to make up for no snow. 

 and for being grateful for moms :)!!!!
