"We needed a good day"

Life has been hectic lately.  There always seems to be a never ending list of chores, someone crying to comfort, and home work to accomplish.  Last month we were able to take time from our busy schedule and attend Sam and Cortney's wedding down in Utah.  While there we went to temple square and  did the mormon tourist thing.  It was nice to feel the peace surrounding the Christus and how excited the kids were to see it.  We walked around a bit more and realized that we left our recommends in Boise. Makes that kind of hard to attend a Temple wedding, but after some frantic calls to our bishop, things were worked out and we got to go to the ceremony.  It was beautiful! Then came pictures and then came the great melting of the pregnant lady.  I. Was. Dying.  The heat was awful...well, not the heat alone, but the humidity on top of it had me melting faster than ice in hell.  Overall it was great, we got to see family and good friends and be part of Sam and Cortney's new life together.  Congrats to them! We are currently taking bets on how soon they get pregnant ;-)
 

  Soon after we got home, School started.  I'm forever doing pre-req's for the nursing program and it's starting the wear on me.  But I will stick with it and eventually one day will reach my goal (see kids, you should stay in school!).  More exciting than me starting school was little miss Sadie started Kindergarten! I have never seen a child more excited about school.  She comes home every day beaming from ear to ear ready to tell me what exciting things she learned that day.  She loves her teacher and wishes she had school on the weekends too.  I can't believe my little one is growing up so fast.

 Life just keeps speeding by and it feels like I'm forever running to keep up.  Finances have been hard lately as I took a cut in hours and Nate took a little cut in pay by going to day shift.  But with my cut in hours and his new day shift we are home more often together and with the kids, so it has been worth it.  We will just keep trucking along and trusting in the Lord.  Today though has been a much needed good day.  I don't feel so exhausted from being pregnant, our video card came in the mail, so now we can get the computer running again, and we got some money back from the hospital (love when that happens).  As Nate told me earlier, "we needed a good day!"  So I will give my thanks for a non stressful, laid back, sun shinning day and children who are quietly playing as I attempt to do my math homework...
