i wish...

oh i wish i had more time for my blog. i really do. i love writing on here and putting up pictures for my friends to see.

i wish i had more energy. i don't know what it is, but i am just beat day in and day out. we are having so much fun and keeping so ridiculously busy that i really can't keep up.

i wish kids weren't a constant MESS. i love to just be outside with the kiddies lately. but you bring them in for one meal, or even just one minute, and it's all over. my poor mom. this house has probably not been so messy in YEARS. it's on the verge of disaster at some point every day, sorry.

enough of the wishing.

i'm so happy that i have an amazing family. that i have parents who let me and derek and the kids come crawling back to bunk with them for a few months.

i'm so happy that we take possesion of our very first very own house on FRIDAY! isn't it about stinking time we lived in a house to call our own?!

i'm so happy that i have an amazing husband and that i can be a part of his family. the circumstances in the family are far from easy right now. but everybody is so strong through these trials and my faith is bursting.


i'm happy that i do have a slight burst of energy left so here are some pictures of the dance. we went to the little village of glenwood to a dance that derek's grandma's band was playing at. it was seriously so much fun. i have a ton more pictures and i love them all.





note that kid in the background doing the worm with is stomach.






phew, aren't you glad i got rid of that ugly foot picture being that first thing you see?!
