Busy...

It has been so busy around here...I don't even know where to begin. So I will just let it all out. I am doing this 1 so that I stay motivated and will eventually upload pictures and 2 so that people who once read my blog might do so again knowing that I am going to update.

We have now entered our "Vegas" time...surprisingly I am doing ok, just really busy and really worn out. I have a new respect for single parents in the world who try to work and still be a decent Mom (or dad) to their children. It really is tough.

When Chris first left, I had a few break downs and cried myself to sleep and then in my mind I decided that I had to make a decision...I could be depressed and cry so much that I put myself into a constant state of headache or I could just get to work and move forward. Needless to say, I did the latter. My hardest days are Sundays because those were our family days and its just not the same without Chris around, but I have amazing family and friends who have stepped in and helped out.

Having Chris gone, however, has really taught me a lot about myself and our relationship and a lot about my faith. It has always been so easy for me and Chris and now with this challenge I was really afraid that we would drift apart, but it has done just the opposite. I feel closer to Chris in our relationship than I have in a long time. I think because since we aren't together it forces us to actually have converstaions that are more than just how was your day or what are you doing. It has really been amazing in that respect. I can't imagine spending my life with any one else...he truly is the person that completes me and when life is so easy all of the time you can easily forget that.

On a side note, since Chris has left, I have been infested by MICE and I HATE MICE!!!! I even saw one and I about fainted! I have since set traps and have only caught 1. They are either too smart for me or are too scared to come in my room any more after their brother (Ratatouille as we like to call him) fell.

I am also spending most of my nights working on our Faculty play which is in 10 days! I can't believe it is so close and yet I can't wait for it to be over. It has been a lot of fun, but now as we approach the last few days of practicing and preparing I am getting really nervous. We are planning on having at least 600 people come if not more....our setting can hold up to 1500...wouldn't that be AMAZING! When we first planned on having the musical we were hoping for about 400 people. To think that it got so big...But if you are interested in coming let me know and I can post the details...It is sure to make you laugh if nothing else.

Tracen is going to school and is now a sunbeam...he is really good at reciting his Articles of Faith and I am actually signing him up for a t-ball league this spring. He is sure funny and super fun to be around.

Logan is just....well Logan. If anyone is having a hard time with Chris gone, it is him. Infact he spent an entire night asking me where daddy was and why he had to be in Vegas. He is getting smarter everyday and talking more and more. Today he even went potty on the potty. I think I am going to go for the potty training thing with him this summer. He thinks it is so cool.

That's us in a nutshell...not all the details, but enough to keep you wanting more right...I promise I will post pictures in the very near future.
