Changes

Ah, change the only real constant in life, right? 
I have decided I need to change my blogging habits. I really feel I need to be doucumenting life right now. I think it will help remind me of good memories and give me peace in the not to far off future. There are a lot of changes that could happen in our lives right now that we have no control over. I think we might need the help and remonders down the road.
I have been reading Aunt Patty's blog and her daughters' and always think what a great way for them to share their lives but also what a great story and journal for their families...   I want that.

On a somewhat similar note I started something I have wanted and been prompted to for a long time. I put together a family newsletter for my mom's side of the family. It was hard but I loved it! There we're even a few family members that said they read it and enjoyed it.
On another note I am trying to make some changes in life. Real lasting change. It is hard. There is a lot of failure involved but enough glimmers of hope and bits of triumph to keep me going. Progress is slow but it is coming and staying longer and longer. 


I tend to start posts and then never finish them or finish them months later. I will have to do better. This is one of them as you can see.

Yesterday, April 13, Glen was released from being the Young men's president and was not given a new calling immediately. This will be only the second time in our marriage that he has not been serving in some part of the young men's organization. The other time was when we moved and lived in Lehi.
He came home from his meetings giddy. In fact I haven't seen him that happy and smiley in quite a while. He said he wanted to do a cartwheel in the bishops office, but thought better of it. I think the rest is good. Maybe it will help him for whatever is next to come.

So here is to change and documenting this great life!

Cheers to change, and embracing the future! Change is scary and emotional, and frustrating, and challenging, and wonderful! Yay to the unknown!!!

Could you take a video of Glen doing a cartwheel? I'd want to see it.

I watched this video and it sealed the deal on this post. I have all sorts of things I could write about, but this has been at the front of my mind for a while. I have really been affected this past year by the divorces of two different couples I know. Not that, I haven't known any one before that has gotten divorced. These have just hit closer to home. One of them is Glen's boss, and Glen has worked with him lately. (This is not the norm. He can go months with out seeing him. He just goes in to work, sees what he's doing that night and goes out.) In working with him, they have talked about stuff and something he said to Glen has really made me think. I wasn't there but it was something to the extent of, "You guys are so lucky, because you love each other, just really love each other." My first thought to this was- yes, yes we do. Then I thought how sad that he and not every married couple have that. The just of all of this rambling is that I love my ...

My cup with blessings overflows

By
 I am trying to get back in the habit of blogging. Before I go to bed, even though I should be in bed here are blessings from this week. I don’t know it I will remember them all there were so many.  Being home to attend church with our ward.  Talks from two sister in our ward, Louisa Jones who is a brand new young woman and Holly Draney who is the Primary President, on Sister Kristin Yee’s conference talk, that complimented each other well.  They reminded me that God is in the details and even when mistakes are made he can use it to help us learn and bless us. Louisa talked about how she was mad when her parents decided they should move a few years ago but Heavely Father has made it work out. Holly brought up the definitions of the words possibility and joy. She also talked about repairing quilts that had things happen to them. Also a talk from Matt Reeves about the power of the priesthood and how it has blessed his life and has preserved his life.  A great less...

Head to the hills- July 7-14

By
Good things from this week were- Getting dirt to fill the planter box Daryl made for Grandpa Richins. It’s ready for him to use now!  Getting ready for girls camp. Watching Lucy play volleyball in a tournament at UVU with high school team girls. It’s crazy that is her last one as a high school player.  Eating dinner on the roof and watching the sunset. Girls camp, even the one bad part.  Showering after girls camp Sunday dinner at Larry and Janene's and playing with the whip These cool plants were at the nursery we got soil from. I think I might want some in my yard.  Lucy played in a volleyball tournament at UVU with the high school team.  Lucy thought eating on the roof would be a good idea one night so we could watch the sunset better. She was right. Though Ruth but mostly Beth got pretty comfortable exploring up there. My mom safety barometer went quite high till they got down.  The Oquirrh Mountain temple fit right between the trees for a perfect view....
