Church Quote

“It isn’t as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don’t worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. … If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers” - Pres. Hinckley

Any suggestions?

So lately I have been having a hard time with not thinking life is so routine. I feel like all I ever do is change diapers, feed peyton, clean...ugh, which don't get me wrong...all things I love to do. But at the same time it's crazy how different my life is. Let me give you an inside look to me. I have a very strong personality. In the past few years I feel I have accomplished a lot by going on a mission, finishing college, getting married...honeymoon baby...And I feel like I have been so accustomed to my mind constantly being stimulated. Always learing, learning, and learning. Studying anatomy, the gospel, teaching kick boxing classes...getting all cute and ready for the day...to now I am a stay at home mom. And my mental stimulation comes from Oprah and Rachael Ray. Now, don't get me wrong..I do like being a stay at home mom. But at the same time I don't think I have the personality for it. I really truly don't. I feel their are many girls that can chill at home, be bored...have routine days and be so happy and content. Although, I do love Peyton a lot it's just not cuttin it for me....I need something....work? maybe. I dunno...it's a complicated situation cuz I don't want to have to do day care because I'll be down in St. George soon with no one to help out. Make best friends with ladies in my ward and get them to babysit? Who knows.... I am a very extroverted person that loves taking risks, setting and achieving goals.... and now, what goals do I have? It's hard. For all you moms...are you going through this same issue? How can I view life more optimistically? I know, I know...read the scriptures, find the answers. But is their more I can do? It has led me to take on scrap booking..something I have wanted to do, ok...got the hang of that now. So, now what? I feel so so limited on what I CAN do.. I would give anything to be back in college right now..pursuing a masters degree, perhaps? But in what? I'm at a loss. And I feel like it's those moms who are SO much like me, that can fall into post pardum depression so so easily. Because you are use to going going going to now....being a stay at home mom. Sure, I can go on walks..but once, again...I need something more. Please Help!!!

My parents just finished their landscaping in the front and back yard. Let's just say..it cost

a lot. So we decided to take family pictures there. It had been four years. A lot has happened since then. Me, Ben, and Heather all got married within one year from each other. Peyton came along in that year. And Carter will be coming in December.

HE GOT IN...

So Steve has been accepted into the Radiology program at Dixie State. This program is a two year program. Once it is completed he will recieve a degree in Radiography. His job title will be a radiographer. aka Rad tech. This two year program is credit wise, equivalent to a Bachelors Degree. Dixie State is turning in to the University or Utah in 2011. Which is a reason why Steve wanted to go to St. George. So when he graduates his diploma will state U of U. Once he completes the program we plan to move back up here for Steve to specialize in Ultrasound from the U of U. This will last for over a year. As he specializes he will be working as a Rad- Tech for the hospital. He will then have a job title as an ultrasonographer. The more he specializes, the more the salary will drastically increase. There are many areas to Radiology. The more you learn, more money you get. So that's the plan! St. George here we come! As for me, I bawled when I found out...mostly because I'm sad to go. This move will be very very hard for me. But it's only temporary, it will be ok! We already have a place to live. It's a 3 bedroom town house. So cute!! Now it's just a matter of getting the student loans, grants, and scholarship money under way. The program has insisted Steve does not work during the program. Because of this, we will live off of student loans. But Steve still will get a part time job with IHC so we can remain having the benefits of free health insurance and 100% tuition reimbursement. The program begins Jan 2. We hope to move after Christmas. Also depends on the part time job he finds. Thanks everyone for your love and support on this journey! This is a dream come true for Steve!

LOVE THE FALL...PICTURE TIME!!

I JUST LOVE PEYTON OH SO MUCH!!!
