Justin’s job is moving us to Houston Texas.  He will probably be starting this new position first of May.  So now we have to finish up some of the little things around the house.  Such as painting the bathrooms and finishing mud and paint on the kitchen wall behind the sink.  So I am very happy that we did the remodeling last summer so this house will sell better than before.  I am hoping it won’t put too much stress on us, as moving is one of the biggest stressors in life.  And I hope to say when all is said and done, that there weren’t any big fights through the whole experience.  If I can say that at the end, then I will truly be happy about it all.
I am so happy and excited for Justin and this new opportunity for him.  Houston will be a much better city for his career to progress.  Yet, I am very sad to leave such wonderful friends behind.  So many friends that we have had for years and then new friends that instantly felt like we have know each other for years.  It will be a very sad day to say goodbye.  But there will always be a place in Houston for you to visit.  Come see us and NASA at the same time.   Or whatever else is there.
I haven’t even ever been there, so I don’t know what’s there.  I will tell you when I see it for myself.

How often should I really have to clean my house?  Seems like I just get something clean and there is a kid messing it all up again.  So there are the awesome days when I do nothing but sit down on my butt and play with the kids.  Who needs all thier dishes washed?  Or their laundry all clean and folded?  Well I sure don’t.  And if you care,  then don’t come over to my house.   Because there will always be something out of order here.  But I think that means that I actually spend some quality time with my kids playing and reading and enjoying these times.

I realize I need to focus on more of the happy things in life.  I am so negative at times that I think this might help me a lot.  So today I am going to start that and hope it last longer than just this post.
Lately I have started to realize how important friends are to me.  Read the rest of this entry »

I never realized how much time a calling can take even when you are not actively doing something with the calling.  I constantly have something about Primary, Scouts, Activity Days, Nursery, etc.  on my mind.  It is so crazy how much time I have with my calling in addition to Justin’s calling.  He has weekly appointments to go visit with the EQ members in the ward.  And then I weekly attend Scouts as we don’t have leaders right now called.  Last night was pack meeting and there were enough adults there so I was able to sit in with Activity Day Girls, which was a real treat.    Girls are so different than the boys.  Though both groups like to talk a lot when separated in their groups.

I have to share this before I forget.  The other day I was going through the diaper bag and found Ryan’s most recent artwork from his Primary class.  I know, sad that it took me a few days to look at it.  No excuses from me.  Anyways, it has a line drawn down the middle of it.  Read the rest of this entry »

So I need to apologize as I have seriously neglected the blog.  I think it has something to do with having 3 active kids and it having been summer.  Much more to do when there is all of this sunlight out rather than being cooped up in the house in pure darkness.  So as the summer dwindles away I will get to work on my postings, pictures and latest Hurst updates.
What has been happening this summer?????? Read the rest of this entry »
