Gaining and Losing

Whereas the title of this post sounds as if I am talking about weight, I am not. If that WERE the case it would only say "gaining"!!! (sad)

This is a post about kids.

This year has been a most interesting year at our casa. If you had a motion camera on our house and put it on high speed, this is what you might see:
Jordan moving in, Sheridan and Garrett moving in. Garrett moving out (to attend Basic Training for the Army). Colin moving in. Lauren and Derek and Titan moving in. Lauren and Derek and Titan moving out. Jordan moving out. We have gained some and lost some!

It has been fun to have all the kids close by and know that there is never lack of a pal to do something with! I will miss Jordan but I am so excited to hear of all his adventures at BYU-I!! YAY Jord!

One day at a time...

It is funny, isn't it? Life, that is. I have decided that the ONLY thing you can count on in life is change. Just when you think it is going one way, it goes the other. I had lunch with a friend yesterday and she said "you just never know how it is going to go. You get one fire put out another pops up, so I just take it one day at a time." I thought that was most excellent advice!
So that is what I am going to try and do. I think the benefits are abundant! Kind of like a horse with blinders on...you can only see a little bit and only right in front of you!! Actually it sounds more like a teenagers' way of thinking...THAT is a scary thought....
