Bedtime Lullaby

This is how bedtime sounds at our house.
I love my job!

Blessed

Our drive to Utah went smoothly for the first six hours...

Then this happened....

And it pretty much didn't stop until we got there. It wasn't until the next day when the fever hit did we realize that she had good reason to not be a happy traveler. She had another tooth coming in. Great timing. I hope everything goes a lot more smoothly on the drive home.

But all the frustrations of driving all night paid off because....RUNNING MAN GOT THE JOB! That's right folks, we are going to officially be Utahns! (Again). It feels sureal and we can't seem to wrap our minds around it yet. Running Man will be working in SLC with a fabulous Doc and we are excited for our future! I still can't imagine being able to see fam more than once or twice a year. Or that my children will get to see their grandparents pretty much as often as they would like. A two hour drive it so much better than an 18 hour drive! We feel so blessed and are grateful for all of the prayers and happy thoughts that have been sent our way over this past month.
I am looking forward to being surrounded by these every day...
And eating a lot more of this...

And spending a lot more time with these people


(More pics of all of the other fabulous people we get to spend time with coming soon).

Here's to six years of planning, hard work and commitment paying off! So grateful for a hubby who has dedicated his life to me and the kiddos, and who has worked so hard to make sure our future will be everything we hoped it would be!

Easter!

We had a great Easter.

We painted LOTS of eggs.


We went on TWO eggs hunts.



One came with breakfast and great friends.
The other at Devil's Glen Park. One of Running Man's fave childhood hang outs.

Had a YUMMY dinner with GREAT friends.

Banana is a huge Sandra Lee fanatic and has been dying to make her own "Tablescape." She came up with all of these ideas and was so proud of herself! (I was as well)!

And we LOVED every second of conference. There were so many talks we felt were being told for us and a few messages that I really needed to hear right now. There seemed to be a lot of focus on forgiveness and faith. Two things I think we always need to have in our lives. I feel stressed out a lot right now and most of the time I am completely overwhelmed with everything I need to accomplish in these next few months. It is such a scary/exciting time for our family and Running Man and I are both trying to have faith and stay strong for our girls. I don't know how I would cope if I didn't have them to greet me each morning, to fill up my days with so much joy, and to be able to kiss them good night.
We are headed to Utah next week to try and figure out the job situation, and we can't wait to see our family! We have two new nieces to meet and the girls can't wait to see their Grandparents! I am most definitely not looking forward to the drive, but the end result is always worth it. Once we get home I need to get serious about packing. I am tempted to just start throwing stuff away. I still have so much stuff to get rid of so you if you want anything call me!
