Last year I made a goal to start writing again. And at the end of the year I didn't write once. Which is so lame so I have renewed that goal and already doing better this year! haha! Its hard to find the time to sit and really write what I want and because I do Chatbooks its hard to sit down and RE write about stuff I have already put into my chatbook. BUT I do not go into much detail or write all of the things I want and all of my feelings because I don't need all of social media knowing my thoughts and personal stories and Im sure my girls don't want their friends reading about all of their lives. Plus Lexi mentioned the other day that she missed the BIG books I used to write. So here I am. With this new year that have been lots of church changes. 2 HOUR CHURCH for one. 11 years olds moving up and going to the TEMPLE and even changes in the temple which I haven't been able to see for myself just yet. Hopefully next week I can get back to my every Friday temple visit. Which by the way is the best thing I've decided to do. Since school has started I told myself I would try and go weekly. It has been so great. I definitely have a lot on my plate and mornings without Kasen are full of hair and helping in his and Lexi's class and grocery shopping and going to Tessa's class at the Clyde Center and going over to Sister Kelloggs for my crochet lesson. BUT I noticed when I picked a day and plan around it I seem to get everything done I need to so lesson learned is to make the temple a priority in your life and you will be blessed. So Chloe is now in Young Women's and its so crazy! She is so tiny and can't believe that suddenly Tallie is a Miamaid. Even though Chloe just turned 11 she is with all the big girls and seems like my kids are just sprinting to adult hood. I'm nervous YW's might make her grow up too fast but I guess that is the way of the world and the younger the younger the kids the harder Satan is attacking so we are preparing them. I can't wait to take Chloe to the temple for the first time. And P. S. Im finally in YW's as the Laurel advisor so its fun to be with my girls and to learn from all of the young women in our ward.
I visited my friend Kristy Wilkins today. She is the kind of friend that it doesn't matter the distance or how long its been we will always be friends. I LOVE being around her and talking with her. Her mom just passed away and just talking with her just makes me so dread my own parents and TJS parents growing older. Parents just seem invincible like they will always be around. It was hard to talk about it. Not sure how I will ever cope when its my turn to go thru that.
TJ applied for yet another job to replace Dealer Socket which he hates so much. He had his final interview yesterday and will hear back tomorrow if he gets it or not. He also started online school this week. Data Science. Still in the bishopric as well so he has a full plate. Hoping we can all survive this year and be able to squeeze in a little fun along the way.
