yes, i'm still here. just crazy busy right now. you would think that my life would slow down a little bit not having my own house right now and all the responsibilities that go with that. ha ha ya right-maybe i'll get caught up on the laundry this weekend! anyhew... we are just getting ready for our vacay, and you know me, i'm starting to freak out a little bit that it's not that far away! time to start packin'! the kids are doing so good in school, even little mccoy got to spend the afternoon being a 1st grader yesterday!(i was doing pta stuff and cadens cute teacher asked if she could steal mccoy to come and play with the kids for a little while) he loved it! speaking of pta....i am actually doing double duty at 2 different elementaries!! yes mom, i am that stupid! i'm leg. vp at our current elementary and president elect at our new elementary(for the fall)! but with double the meetings, convention coming up, and helping organize some huge activities at both schools in the next few weeks....my brain has a hard time shutting off at night! not to mention i got a second calling at church that has me so excited, yet scared that i won't do a good job!
but the point of this post was to not make you have a pity party for me!! i actually had a point to this....
my friend, janet and i were talking last week while we were cutting out a bazillion diecuts for our literacy night. she asked me why i was always so happy. wha???? really? obviously she has not seen me screaming at my kids on a monday morning to get there bums a movin'!!
i guess i just don't have a lot to get me down anymore. we have tried to get all the bad stuff out of our lives right now, and try to be better people because of it. we decided to sell our home of 12 years because we really were not happy there (sorry carol, you know i love you) a lot of rumors were said of us and what not causing us to not want to be apart of a ward. yes, we were very inactive...
even now i still hear some rumors, but i'm over it. we now live in a ward with so many loving genuine people. my kids are happy, my hubby's happy, and that makes me smile smile smile! i can say now, we are very active in the church and my testimony has grown so much in just the last couple of months! we love living with grandma and grandpa (even tho my kids just might give grandpa and his dog a stroke). and we look forward to this summer(maybe) when the house in the ward that we want is done and ready for us to move in!(fingers crossed-they're just really slow cleaning it up and out) so that's really it in a nut shell. i am, with out a doubt, happy...
life is what you make it(insert hannah montana song here) and darn it..
we are making a life!

Life is not a race-but indeed a journey. Be honest. Work hard. Be choosy. Say "thank you," "I love you," and "great job" to someone each day. Go to church, take time for prayer. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh. Let your handshake mean more than a pen and paper. Love your life and what you've been given; it is not accidental-search for your purpose and do it as best you can. Dreaming does matter. It allows you to become that which you aspire to be. Laugh often. Appreciate the little things in life and enjoy them. Some of the best things really are free. Do not worry, less wrinkles are more becoming. Forgive, it frees the soul. Take time for yourself-plan for longevity. Recognize the special people you've been blessed to know. Live for today, enjoy the moment. ~Bonnie Mohr

You go girl! I hear ya on the whole ward thingee! I have had an inactive husband for the last 14 years and he blames it on the ward and I am hoping that in our new ward he will be touched by someone special and start going again! I sure need the help eith the kids now that we are no longer in my Mom's ward :) Good luck with the house and have a great vacation and soak up some sun for me!!!!!
I wondered what had come over you being president elect and all but I didn't know you had so much already going on in the other school. I'm excited that you get to move to our school. Wish there was a good house in our ward up for sale. I'd love to have you closer to home! The Paynes house will be up for sale but I'm not sure what the inside of that will look like. Hummm...
Holy Cow! I thought I was busy - but you. . .You're awesome with all that school stuff!!! We love you guys so much and think this is great! Can't wait for vacay in a couple of weeks! Oh - what other calling did you get?? :0)
You are a crazy busy lady! I am sorry about the rumors...I never heard any! I'm so sad that you were unhappy...you never said anything and I never even knew - sorry I wasn't a better neighbor/friend! We love you guys and I'm glad you're still involved in the PTA, you always do such a good job!
Jen, I am so glad you are happy. I am dying to know your new calling now. Hey I need the address of your new house to see if it is in my sisters ward.
You are so wonderful, and I can't believe anyone would say anything bad about you, but I too have been at that end of the talk and it is no fun. So did I miss something we are supose to be doing for PTA? You sound quite busy, so let me help if there is something else to do. I need to register for convention, do you know how I do that? I checked online and it says the site is down (at least last I looked) I am glad you are happy in your new ward :)
