I was thinking lately that not many people comment on my posts so why post...but then I got to reading through everyone's comments that have left comments & people do read it haha ;o). Is that selfish to want people to read it & comment? I just went on a road trip this last weekend with a co worker & her fiance & her niece. It was so much fun & the trip went by really fast! My co worker (Allison) was telling me last week that she was going to Logan, UT this last weekend & I mentioned I should ride down with them. She said it would be ok & that all I would have to pay is $20. Pretty cheap ride, so I begged my hubby to let me go. I tried to get someone to watch the kids overnight for the weekend & Chris' parents were just getting back from a trip & didn't want to & then I wasn't sure I wanted to ask his sisters...so I asked our home teacher & they were uncomfortable with us going that far & not sure how the kids would do. So Chris stayed home & I went by myself. I did Ask the home teacher if they could watch the kids for Friday night (let them spend the night) to give Chris some free time too. They said yes & I heard the kids did VERY well. YAY! I feel bad for Chris cause he has to be with the kids all the time & I get to get out & be free. the reason I feel bad is because I know how it can be...I felt like that all last year when I stayed home with the kids. I felt like Chris could go & do whatever he wanted & I was stuck. I love my kids, but I had to get out & that is why I LOVE working so much. Anyway so we went to Logan & I stayed with my sister. It was so much fun & I miss her so much! There was a house for rent across the street & I so badly wished we lived there! I see Chris' sisters doing things together all the time & I feel left out a lot & so I miss my sister more. I want Chris to start looking for jobs in UT again. I never wanted to be a UT mormon, but since I lived there for 5 years it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. LOL. My sister had a baby a month ago & the baby is the sweetest thing! She is so warm & toasty & beautiful! Just what I needed for my baby craving. I told my sister that it was good that I get to hold her after my miscarriage because I so badly wanted to hold a little one! I was healing for me ;o). Speaking of my miscarriage even though it happened back in April I still have people at work that thought I was still prego! It totally sucks cause I hate when they say sorry. My friend at work was like, "Maybe you SHOULD have done the page all & announced it" LOL! I laughed at that cause the thought DID cross my mind. That is the hardest thing I had with the miscarriage was people saying sorry all the time. I guess I should just be ok with them having sympathy for me? Back to my sister's house...so I went to church with her on Sunday & she leans over to me & tells me that no one had helped her move in & no one had done anything for her when she had her baby! My jaw dropped & I thought, "WHAT??!??" So the whole time I was thinking of telling the bishop (since my sister had to talk to him about the baby blessing that night) and I said a little prayer on how to go about it & be nice...haha I had to work hard at being nice. And the thought came to me to talk to him in private. So as we were walking out I said to him, "Can I talk to you in private?" I am sure he thought it strange someone he didn't know & who wasn't a part of his ward wanted to talk to him. I let him know that my sister needed visiting teachers & she never had anyone help her when she moved & when she had her baby...he told me he wasn't a mind reader & I thought sure, but that is why there are visiting teachers. I then told him that she needed friends because how else will she want to come to church or stay in the church if no one got to know her? I told him that I learned that you can't wait around for them to talk to you & that you need to talk to them 1st. I told him a greeter calling would be good for her & he said or primary...I was like um not sure about that. he said that she needs to come to church more & my sister told me she has been there every week. Her bishop seems like he forgets a lot & that he likes to make up a lot of excuses. I just hope that since I have brought it to his attention that my sister needs a bit more care that maybe he will do more? My sister knows that the church isn't just about the people so that is why she still goes. Man I wished I lived there! I have become so outgoing since I have had kids & I will tell people how it is. Sunday afternoon we worked in my sister's yard weeding & it was a good time. The blessing went fast that night & half our family was there & some of Lance's family. I was worried the whole time cause I had to leave right after because my ride had to wait until later to get home...they were supposed to be back in Boise at 2 on Sunday & the blessing was at 4. So they had to wait for me to do that. My cell phone died & so I was so worried the whole time! I was so glad my brother-in-law had his cell phone on his business banner outside of his house! They called that & got the address where I was. I kinda wished I enjoyed myself a bit more instead of worrying...they didn't pick me up until 5. The trip home went well & it was good. I am SO glad I went & I wish I lived there!
:o( But I love my job & I hope Chris can find something soon! He always says that if he doesn't find anything soon we will run out of money. Ugh! So if anyone out there knows of a business finance job let us know! He graduated in that. I need to go bathe the kids! ;o)

Birdy--you have been such a busy, busy girl!
As for living in Utah, I don't have a lot of good things to say. Your sisters situation doesn't seem that odd to me.
Our entire neighborhood is mormon and I can't stand it. If we could move, I would be out of here in a heartbeat!
I'm not too positive am I ?

I wish you lived in Utah too. Then we could all go out more often. And as for the comment thing...I feel the same way. Everyone loves comments.
