Journal Entry

Bailey and Taylor are getting so big - I can't believe how fast time is going by. Bailey is now a Sunbeam in Primary, and it's still a work in progress. I got called as the CTR 4 teacher right about at the same time so she wants me all the time when we are in the same room. She's doing great though and learning alot!

Taylor is now walking and doing very well. He caught on very quickly and now I can't wait till he starts running, it will probably be very soon at this rate. He's such a sweet boy and at this moment he's sitting in his high chair eating a graham cracker and talking to himself.

Today it has been raining and it's funny how that effects your mood so much. All I have been thinking of is when is the warm springtime gonna be here already. I want to go play outside with the kids just as bad as they do. Everytime I open the front door, Taylor charges for it, and then of course I shut it before he gets to it and he wails and collapses everytime like it's the end of the world. I'm sure he's thinking "hey I can walk now so let's go outside already!"

Tonight I have to go to work and even if it's a short shift I still hate leaving Leland and the kids. Wish I didn't have to work, or at least not as much as I do. Leland and I are really close to paying off our small devt, and then we can move on to our large debt which consists of his student loan and the car loan. After that I don't think we'll know what to do with ourselves. I thought we could celebrate by getting another dog, and I actually think that Leland would go along with that. Our dog that we had, her name was Cassie a lab/retriever, she passed away in Oct. 2009. It has been a long time since she died but sometimes it feels like just yesterday. Can't wait to get another one.

We are heading up north to see family in Montana in about a wekk or so, and I can't wait. I miss everybody so muc, and can't stand being so far away from everyone. So it's most of my family that are up there and Leland's side of the family are in Southern Utah, which is great cause they are only a 4 hour drive away. Now that we have kids we don't travel down there as much as we used to. We used to go down there alot, and most of the time we drove in the middle of the night to see our families. We miss everyone when we aren't around them.
