Must Be Doing Something Right

By -
Last week when I dropped Aiden off to preschool, Sam wanted to go inside and use the very cool miniture-ized bathroom they have. (Oh yeah, I've been slowly potty training Sam.)  Sam has been in a VERY independent stage lately and told me to wait outside the door so he could "Me TRY!"  I was fine with this and waited patiently for him to do his business.  As I was waiting outside the door I had the opportunity to spy on Aiden at his work station.  He was at a table cutting some paper and singing quite loudly to himself the primary song, "Follow the Prophet."  It was awfully cute, even though I don't think anyone around him could understand what he was singing exactly.

Then a couple days ago I stayed after school to have a parent teacher conference with Aiden's teachers.  They were just glowing about him and how they all just loved him.  Then they brought up something that had happened that day.  They were working on favorites: "What's your favorite color? What's your favorite food? What's your favorite book?" When Aiden got asked what his favorite book was, his eyes lit up and said enthusiastically, "The Book of Mormon!!"  hahaha.  His teachers know we're Mormon and thought that was pretty funny, as did I.

So go, Aiden Bear!  You're turning out to be a good missionary already!

Some Time Away in Paradise

Rex and I went to Maui, Hawaii together, just the two of us!  It's times like this when we get to see the value of him traveling so much - the plane trip and hotel were completely paid for with points.  Cha-ching!  Rex totally spoiled me too.  The Mariott we stayed in was fit for a king and queen - a humongous tub, fully stocked kitchen, big comfy bed, an amazing breakfast buffet every morning, a tropical paradise of pools and hot tubs and beautiful flowers every where... a girl could get used to this.   We spent the first night and morning cramming in some homework for our scuba-diving certification class.  The next 2 days were spent at the scuba shop and in the ocean, passing off drills and skills needed to not-die.  And good news.  We did not die and completely lost ourselves underwater looking at the beautiful fish and eels and turtles around us.  Okay, just one turtle.  But it was pretty memorable!  I didn...

Mist of Darkness

So now that I have finally caught up with my blogging, I feel that I need to explain where I've been. This blog is mainly for journal purposes, so just ignore this post if it makes you uncomfortable. I've known that I've struggled with depression for five years now. I've been in some dark places in my life with horrible thoughts and temptations, but it's been under control for the most part. I've been "missing" for the past 2 months because I was slowly spiraling downwards without realizing it. True, I never had any suicidal thoughts this last time (maxing out your Zoloft should have SOME kind of effect) but I started losing interest in the things that usually make me happy. Blogging. Creativity. Photography. My family. Sunshine. With the winter, it seemed that everything had turned gray and dead, and not just the plants. My husband kept urging me to do something just for me, but I always felt that I didn't have time, and if I did, that i...

      We christened the new van by going on TWO road trips this month. The first was to Oklahoma (and I guess, technically, Branson, MO as well) and the next weekend was to Utah to celebrate Rex's sister's wedding! So so so happy for her and her new hubby.  We got our first picture as a family with EVERYONE wearing a suit, well, except me of course. What handsome men surround me!
