Hey everyone! I am referring to the song by Kenny Chesney with my title but it is so true. I didn't realize how long it had been since I last posted.
Since then I have....
Been to a Josh Groban concert with my mom and Becky. That is a blast and if you have never heard him in concert, whoa does he have an amazing voice!
Hailey's competition soccer started back up with practices 2x a week and games 2x a week. She loves it and is so good.
Hailey and Kami have started 4-H. Hailey has been in for 3 years already but it is Kami's first year and it so good for them to learn how to cook and sew. Their mom doesn't have the patience to do it regularly.
Emilee started preschool and loves it! She missed the deadline for kindergarten by 1 month but that will be good in the future.
Kami had an expander put in her mouth to help with her under bite. We are trying to fix the problem now instead of waiting until its too late and then have the surgery where her jaw is broken and repositioned and worry about paralysis, pain etc. She got the expander taken out and now has braces on the top 4 front teeth.
Just recently she had some oral surgery done, a gum graft, because her bottom gums were receded down to the root and she cant have braces put on the bottom until she gets her gums fixed.
Paul has been travelling quite a bit for work. He now works for XO communications as one of their sales engineers. It was a blessing when the job just fell in our laps.
I am still working in YW's, but I am not complaining. I love it and the young women keep me young.
I finally cut my hair off. I have been having major dilemmas over my hair because it was so long, I never did anything with it but wear it up but was afraid to cut it since Paul just loves red hair....
Well, I did it. I cut over a foot of hair off and I donated it it locks of love. Yes I have pretty short hair now but I am lovin it!!!! It was like an auto weight loss....hahaha, don't I wish. But I feel so much better when I look in the mirror. Now I really need to lose some weight. We have decided that we are done with having kids. I'm no spring chicken anymore. And I want to be a good mom to my girls.
Now, I am taking care of my niece (2 months old) and my nephew (4 yrs) every day for Paul's little sister. Her husband is a drunk, she works a lot and I just could not in good conscience let them go to a day care when I am home and able to do it. Am I sane? Well, most of the time but 2 babies is hard and demanding but I know its the right things so here I am.
Thanksgiving is coming up, my favorite holiday ever and we are going to my aunt Claudia's in St. George this year. That will be so much fun!
My moms birthday is the week after that and we are going to Vegas for the Celine Dion concert. Its another mom, Becky and me outing and we are all very excited.
Going back to my title, I am noticing that life moves so fast when you are having fun! I love my girls. I am so blessed with Paul and his unconditional love and patience for me and my many shortcomings. We just love being together as a family and that is something I always wanted since I was little. We may not have a lot of other "stuff" but we have each other. Thats really all that matters. In that way, we are RICH!
Love you all!
