So sad

I am such a mixture of emotions lately, anyone that has talked to me knows that I am prone to start crying at the drop of hat about anything this last week. I am so excited to finally be able to move back to the country, yet I am so sad that I am leaving so many wonderful people. I have been so blessed to make so many wonderful friends. Some I made years ago and some just recently, whomever and and whenever they have made a lasting impression on me.
I feel so blessed to have got to know them, they have strengthened my testimony through example and words. They have made me appreciate life just a little more, they have made me want to be a better person.
This would be so much easier if we did not love our neighbors and our ward(which is essentially the same thing).I am so sad to leave my friends, I am so honored by those that have called me their friend.
This is the longest that we have ever lived any where, I am not looking forward to going to church today and seeing so many faces that I will never see again:( As my friend Amanda just recently said as she moved out of the ward, I will probably be forgotten in awhile but I do not think that I will ever be able to forget the wonderful people that I have been able to call my neighbor, friends.
I am just really sad right now, but I am so happy to have been able to have this wonderful journey here.

Happy Birthday

First I forget my husbands birthday and now I forgot my fathers, I am bad. I just want to say Happy Birthday dad and I hope that you have a nice one.

A plea from my children

*Sam and Lexi are doing a service project, they have been wanting to give to the homeless shelter after news story that they saw. Sam has been wanting to put flyers on peoples doors but I have everything packed and can not find many things and I it is too cold to walk form house to house right now, so I suggested that they write on the blog because most of our neighbors read our blog*


SAM
we are trying to give to the homeless shelter.If you have any towels and/or blankets you don't want then please bring them to our house.And if you're kids have any toys that they don't want and/or don't play with bring those to.thank you.


Sam.

*Liz typing for Lexi*
Do you have any towels or blankets that we could use, so that we can bring them to the homeless shelter. maybe if you do no want you can give to the homeless shelter. you need to give because for, for, for, to share things because some people do not have houses. Do you have any shoes that we can give to them that you do not want. Please can you give to us so that we can give them. and that is it.
Lexi
oh and that we want to give to them to show that we care about them and to show that we really want to help them. (I have now cut her off, I would be here forever)

Josh and Sam

Josh adores Sam, and Sam him. I have to tell Sam once a day that she is not his mother and to stop worrying about him and let me be his mom. If Steve is not home he will usually go to Sam for hugs before he will come to me.

Sweatin to the oldies

My little Josh was Richard Simmons for Halloween. Unfortunately I did not ge to spend as much time as I thought I would on his costume so it was a little disapointing somewhat but it got the point across. I could not get a good picture of him becaues he was wired. These were the best.

Halloween fun

Our Halloween consisted again of sick children, we are cursed for Halloween, awfully fitting since it is Halloween I guess. Last year Sam broke her arm the day before Halloween , the year before that Lexi had croup and the year before that Sam had Strep, this year Lexi had a horrilbe flu, Josh had ear infections. I felt bad that Lexi had to miss her school party, she has been asking since Oct 1 when she was going to be able to have her school Halloween party, by the night she felt great, poor kid had to wait until the next day to eat any food.
Our house is still for sale, buy our house:)
Josh was Richard Simmons for Halloween I will find his pictures and post later.
