It's been a long time!

Well Everyone.... It has been a long time! So much has happened it's hard to know where to start. So- I won't start anywhere I guess.. except for here, now.


I am living in Utah with the kids. Donny is in Afghanistan flying contract for the military. We are getting divorced and should be final very soon. I am going to school at Utah Valley University and on track to graduate in April. I have mixed feelings about that and not really sure where life will take me at that point.


Samantha is in Dance and LOVES it! She is so talented and really would do everything if she had the time. But, I think her most favorite thing to do is to write. She writes stories, letters, songs and anything else she can think of.

Jacob has been in gymnastics and karate. He is just happy doing SOMETHING. I think his most favorite thing to do is soccer and I am trying to find an all-year soccer team for him to be part of. He really enjoys kindergarten and playing with his friends. Especially the playing with friends part. He is still a very picky eater! It's very difficult to make something he will eat.. so I actually stopped worrying about it. He just eats what he can find that he likes.

Joshua is still so much fun! He is so dang cute! I wish kids would all stay this cute! Unfortunately, they don't. I think it is safe to say that Joshua has been my saving grace! He is really what has kept me going! The Lord blessed me with that baby at the time that I needed him the most! He does cute things like grab your chin and turn it to him so that he knows he has your attention. He tells me that he loves me all the time! He will put both of his little hands on the sides of my face and kiss me. He is so gentle and loving and tender. He loves to sit with me while watching tv.


I am grateful for my three kids. The past year and a half has been very difficult and we have gone through a lot of changes, but we have stuck together and are getting through it. We know that God is blessing us everyday. We try to do the things that we know we need to do so that we will always be able to receive the blessings that are in store for us.


I hope to be able to write again at some point, but for now, this is going to have to be IT for a while. Just too much going on and not enough time in the day. We thank all of you for your prayers and thoughts. We are well!
