We are moving!

Goodbye Riverstone - Hello Copperwood

I have very mixed feeling about this move. I LOVE our new home but I am going to be very sad to leave our Riverstone ward, the Young Women, the leaders who have become my close friends, the quiet neighbourhood and of course different memories in our first home we bought together.

 Almost moving day and things are looking great 

 MOVING DAY! MAY 22, 2012

Boxes, mess but getting organized as we go. I actually love moving because I get to de-clutter and then organize in a new space. 

 Spare room

Living Room

 Dining Area

Master Bedroom

Spare bathroom - everything looks so messy

The day we moved in, while I was unpacking boxes Jason and my dad started on the basement. Our goal was to have the basement finished within a month and we finished 2 days early of that.  

Some pictures of the home once we were settled and Jason/my Dad finished the basement.

The theatre turned out awesome. 

Happy Birthday Jason

My hubby had a birthday - shout HURRAY! This year we spent it in Cardston. Went to the temple with his mom, played on the new tramp and then had a bonfire with friends and family. Jason's mom came down and most of my family were there as well. Thank you everyone for making Jasons birthday so special.

Here is Jason playing on the new trampoline with his nieces and nephews

I made Jason's traditional birthday cake - RED VELVET CHEESECAKE

 This is the morning of his actual birthday - May 17, 2012

 At work today they were having a potluck and so I decided to make Jason another birthday cake. So this year he got 2 Red Velvet Cheesecakes - Lucky guy!

Jason got a new cover for his phone and that is what he did all evening on his birthday. Happy Birthday Hun!

Mothers Day Weekend

Mothers Day weekend we were in Cardston. Jason's mom came down and spent the weekend with us. Here is the crazy house while trying to get dinner on the table.
We are so grateful to both of the Mothers in our lives. Thank you for all the love and support in our lives. We love you both and are so proud to call you our Mothers.

 And..... the men did the dishes!

 Ron and Ryan have such a great relationship - a little creepy though

Come what may and LOVE IT!

May 1, 2012

Well its been a couple months and I have done a lot of reflecting over the past few months. After surgery I felt so blessed to be alive and grateful to all the blessings around me. A few weeks back I was going through a "why me" stage and not understanding why we weren't being blessed with children. Something that seemed like a righteous desire. I was at the stage of woe is me. Why is this happening to us? What have I done to deserve this? I don't understand....

This went on for a few weeks. I had a self pity party. Wo is me! My trials seemed so big until one day I thought about my dear Grandmother. My Grandma Alice lost 3 children before she passed on. She lost one son at age 3 in a construction accident. Another son to cancer a year after his mission and then another son to a heart attach around the age of 50. I thought of her example and devotion to the Saviour. She never asked "why"? Im sure she wept many tears but she never questioned the Lord and the plan. I changed my attitude that day and wanted to live me life after the example of my Grandma Alice and my Savior Jesus Christ. He is the head of the Church and he has a plan for each of us. I waited to find Jason and that was the greatest blessing in my life so I put my life in the Lords hands and will accept his will.


Jason and I still want to have a family and will continue to try. We put our trust and faith in our Father in Heaven. If we are to be parents then things will work out the way they should. LIFE IF GRAND! I love the girls that I get to associate with each Sunday at church. They are all great YW and teach me all the time. I work with great leaders and I can call each of them my friends. I have amazing friends and family. We are here to be tested and tried. The Lord judges our true character when we are going through our trials. I pray that I may follow his example.
