Day 157 - I'm Lazy?

Day 157

I'm Lazy?

I don't even know why I haven't been blogging.

It was just so easy not to.  

Maybe I'm lazy, maybe I haven't cared

but I like to think its because things are good

and I just haven't needed the "blogging therapy".

Good news is I am good.  The family is good.

Life is just rolling along and right now there

are no bumps in the road and if you know me

at all I love when there are no bumps

in the road.

So I am thankful for a smooth road.

And I am probably going to jinx myself but I am thankful

that I haven't gotten the flu.  I feel like everyone around me

has been sick but so far I have been able to stay healthy.

I am pretty much one of the only people left at work who

have not gotten it.  But today Ciara is not feeling well.  Let's pray she is 

not coming down with the flu or else I may not escape its steely grasp.

Work has slowed down to a snails pace which is good and bad.

It is very quiet which is good and bad.  I miss my work friends 

that were there temporarily.  

I am making no promises about blogging again everyday but here's to

getting back in the saddle.

Here a few pictures of somethings we have been up to:

 Coco loves her new toy.  Thank you Elder Argyle!

 Lunches....Salad in a jar.  Thank you pinterest!

 EGMTC Little Mermaid....getting ready for the performance.

 BJ's with the family!  Yummy.

Christmas lights!!!!

Jan. 9, 2013 - Not starting off the new year so great

Not starting off 2013 so great...

with blogging anyway.  

Actually, I have had just a great last 3 weeks.

Katie & Tom were here.  Ciara is home for break until April.

Santa spoiled our family.

Christmas and New Years were so good.

We got a Wii U and we played and danced.

We played lots of board and card games.

Movies.

Ate lots!  Tom discovered he loves WingStop almost as much as Katie.

Had lots of family bonding time.

I was having such a great time I didn't even really think about blogging.

Now it is back to real life.

Katie & Tom have gone back to school. 

David is back at school.

Ciara is looking for a job.

Still life is good.

I am so thankful for a wonderful Christmas.

I am going to try and be better about blogging.

I need to figure out what day I am on.

Maybe tomorrow.

Here are a few pictures of some of our activities

Days 117 - 121 Cacthing Up

Catching Up

117 - 121

Wow, time is flying by so fast.

I went to Idaho to pick up Ciara on Friday.

Saturday, we went to Provo, to see Katie & Tom.  I also got to spend

some time with my friends Connie and Julie. And I got to see

 some of my favorite missionaries....Elder Brimhall,  Yagi & Kelly.

Then on Monday, we drove back home to California.

It's been back to work yesterday and today.

Seems like I was just posting on here yesterday.

Christmas is just a few days away!

I am not quite ready.

But I am so thankful for all my blessings.

My heart still aches for all those families who lost loved ones

in the school shooting in Connecticut.  I don't understand and I

just can't stop thinking about it.  

It makes me really appreciate the gospel and my family.

Hopefully, now I can get back on track.

I love having my house full of family again.

Just wish my Courtney was here.

Day 116

Day 116

today i am so thankful for the peace the gospel

brings and for my family.

my heart aches for all the families affected

by the senseless shooting in Conneticut today.

I pray that they will feel the love of their Heavenly Father.

And know their loved ones are with Him.

Day 115

Day 115

I'm so thankful today is over because tomorrow I'm 

Leaving on a jet plane and its taking me to see my Idaho girl.

I'm looking forward to a long traveling weekend but lots of good

things happening.

It's a good day and tomorrow will be even better.

Day 113 - Letters

Day 113

Letters

Got a letter from a dear friend today.

Went to the mailbox and was so surprised to see a letter for me!

Isn't that just the best feeling to get a letter.

A handwritten letter...there is nothing like it.

Emails are great, messages are good but there is something

about seeing a letter in the mailbox for you.

I just smiled all day.

Thankful for friends and letters!
