So- I'm not sure how I figured that working a full time job would allow me to have more time to blog... It hasn't. I'm working about 30 minutes away from home and about 45 minutes away from Gwen's daycare, so I spend a lot of time in the car. I have very mixed feelings. I'm grateful to be scanning- when I'm actually scanning. It's been a slow start, but I'm sure it will pick up.
I'm having a hard time being away from the kids so much, but I feel that it's what I'm supposed to be doing for now. I just need to read my scriptures and my blessing more often to be reminded of the big picture. I'm grateful that I can work. I'm grateful that I have the skills I need to make it worth my time away from my family (for now).
I'm grateful that Beau is closer to being done with school. He gradutates in May with his Bachelor's. He's applying to PA's schools now (in addition to school, ROTC, and Army Reserves). In May he'll be joining the National Guard in order to get further help with school. Wish us luck!
So- we miss seeing our friends, but appreciate your patience with all of our craziness. :) We're doing well and we're blessed- just look at those cute kids! :)

Yeah! They sure are cute! Just wanna eat them up! I always love it when I get home from work and get to give Henry a few kisses from Aunt Kim before he is whisked away to reunite with Mama! There is something so theraputic about that! Keep up the good work! I know it's not easy...from personal experience...but in the end...I know it will be worth it when we sit back years from now and admire our lives and our families and what they've become....I love you!
Oh, that's gotta be tough. I remember when I had to go to work after I had Shelby. I took about 10 weeks of maternity leave (close to the limit) and when I got back, I had about 2 more months before school was out for the year (and indefinately for me). Those were the longest two months ever, it seemed. We just have to remember the seasons of our life. We're in them for a while but they don't last forever. Hang in there!
This is such a cute picture of them! Miss y'all!
Oh Shellie!!! I miss you and love you.
I know what you mean. I hate leaving Ian every day. My work has a school where he goes so he is really close. But I still hate it so much! Good luck with everything!
