Well folks i am back to the good ol office got my workspace (oh BTW they moved and i have a TON more space its nice but still gray must decorate!!:)) Its nice to be back to a job were people care and appreciate me! Oh and a place where they will let me go and pump! 
My girls seem to be doing great staying home with their daddy! Abigail is doing great using her sippy cup she is still not a fan of the bottle but is drinking great from the sippy! and the great news is i got my pump to work so hopefully for now it will continue it took a great scrub down and praying but its working great and everything is going great there I LOVE that i can still give my baby the best milk even though I am not with her!
Jackie loves her daddy and time with him and well she is used to being with him during the day so she is just happy! :)

Me well i am loving my job and missing my girls! But i think its good for derek to get a chance to take care of them and to get that alone time with them.  I promise pics of our place (for you Danielle:)) lol i never have it all clean so i decided i will just do it one room at a time haha now to get it done :) hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

life is just crazy

Right now i am realzing how crazy life is, i just read a post i wrote when we were getting ready to move here about how scared i was for that adventure, all i can say is that I am glad this adventure is drawing to an end.  Its been an intersting experince one i know the Lord wanted us to go through and i KNOW we will face a lot of the same challenges we have here back in Utah but I am just glad that we will have more support.  I am still working on figuring out everything the Lord wanted me to learn here, what he wanted our family to gain.  Its hard to try to get everything from it, but I know one reason was he wanted us to know how much our family means to us.  It has taught me that a million times over.  I hate that i cant run up to my parents when I want or that they have missed out on so much of Abbys life.  I am excited to get back and have Sunday dinners again.  I am sad to leave this ward here.  Its been an amazing ward.  I love the people out here, so nice, so welcoming, so willing to drop everything to help us.  SO willing to welcome us into their lives.  Its taught me a lot, its taught me that i need to make sure I am always that way.  I think sometimes in Utah with so many members its easy to fall through the cracks out here you have to step up and be strong be involved.  I love my calling and I am sad to leave the YW, but I know our time here is done, I know i need to leave for my peace of mind.  I have had a hard time here a hard time being my happy self.  One thing i am known for is my happiness, but I have struggled to find it here, i have tried and tried but its fleeting, i am hoping going home helps I can already tell that they idea is helping, i have been happier and I am ready to take on new challenges always remembering what i learned in alamogordo remembering some of the people i will miss them, I WILL NOT MISS THE TOWN dang this town is different MUCH different then what I am used to in Utah or well most places i have been too as well lol who knows.  Right now I am working on packing up and getting things ready to go we are headed back on the 25th I got a freaking SWEET deal on a truck :) so happy about that now only to find a place to live :s but i have our truck for 5 days soo hoping i can get something fast!

Happy 5 months Osa!

Miss Abigail

Mommy can hardly believe you are 5 months old today!  The time seems to have flown by!  You are a wonderful little baby so far this is what mommy and daddy have figured out

You LOVE to sleep in our bed yes you wont sleep long in your bed but in our bed cuddled up right next to mommy you sleep pretty darn great i think thats why we stilll let you stay

You are not a huge fan of rice cereal but carrots you LOVE you got pretty darn excited about them

You have a special smile just for your daddy

You are a very happy baby always smiling and laughing at what is going on you love Jackie and are always watching her to see what she does next.

You love to pull your binki out....you are getting better at getting it back in your mouth which makes me happy

You still dont really like a bottle you just want your mommmy!

You are a VERY socail baby nursing time is intersting with you when ANYTHING is going on you hate to stop to eat so you eat for 30 seconds look around smile eat look around smile over and over again......this also pertains to sleeping when we are out and about you dont want to sleep you just want to play and be apart of everything that is going on

You LOVE bath time!  When mommy brings you into the bathroom and starts up the water your little legs start kicking and you get SO excited, I think you just love watching Jackie act all crazy like in the tub.  You also hate the end of bath time you would stay in there forever if mommy let you. 

You have a million nicknames like your sister mommy usally calls you Osa daddy calls you abbs or abalab abbles and oranges but it changes on a daily basis! 

We are getting ready to move back to Utah, we are pretty excited for you to be closer to your cousins and grandparents!  Mommy loves you Abigail!

Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey

Well remember how 6 months ago we uprooted our family 3 weeeks before Abigail came to move 13 hours away to good ol alamogordo??  Well we have had an intersting time here absoultly loving our ward and the church here, derek loves his job but it has not paid well enough for us to stay.  We have not loved the town though....we were planning on coming back this summer but have decided to come now due to some jobs that came open.  SOOOO all ya'll we are coming back! In 2 short weeks!!  SOO if anyof you know of any good places to live in orem/provo/springville let me know we  need a place! oh and i will see you soon!!
