Preborn Pics of Emmy
Between never having been good at taking pics, being insanely busy, and having a hard time with this pregnancy; I have done a horrible job updating on Emmy! Here are a couple ultrasound pics. She has been doing really good ☺

Sheesh! Been a while...
I post VERY regularly on Facebook about our day to day things and usually save my blog for things more personal and discussions of my beliefs.
Some big things since I posted last:
- I got all A's and B's for my 1st year back at school!
- We are buying a house! We are currently waiting for it to be appraised. We should be moving in before February is done :)
"We will be tested, often to our limit. Yet all of us know or are assured that we will never be tested more than that which we can endure." - Robert D Hales
I have heard this quote many times but it registered with me very strongly as of late. We got hit HARD with trials a little while ago.
-The driver side window is off it's track and being held up with duct tape
-We have a tire needing to be refilled weekly
- We found out our much needed income tax return was going to be delayed this year because of cracking down on theft
-We were in the process of waiting to see if we were approved for our loan for the house
-Frustrations with my calling
-Current house we live in is OLD, and we had an influx of mice coming in and crapping in\on\around TONS of our stuff
-Bo changed his tax claims on his paychecks to all of us so his checks would be larger from now on (He didn't claim us all for a few years so our returns were larger), but there was a problem with the paperwork and we got LESS than usual for this month (It has been fixed)
-On top of all that, our furnace stopped working for a few hours (It was fixed quickly) but it was just the cockroach topping on my crap sundae
I started balling. I prayed "God, I am done! I know you don't try beyond where we are able but I am at my limit! Please ease some burdens!" I kid you not, within a couple of hours, our furnace was fixed (As stated above) and we found out we were approved for the loan! Burdens have been slowly easing since :)
I know our Heavenly Father is there, that He loves us, and listens to us. I don't now about any of you, but I hate being tested to my limit; even if it isn't past what I can handle. I know, though, that growth doesn't happen without some pushing.

Nov 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st
18th: I am grateful for essential oils. Those tiny little drops help so much and keep us from a doctor's visit sometimes.
19th: I am grateful for doctors and modern medicine. Sometimes illnesses need more than nature's drop. Sometimes a bonk requires more than a band-aid and a kiss. I am so grateful for all the medicines and knowledge available today!
20th: I am grateful that I am one of the lucky women who sheds the baby weight with breastfeeding. I eat like crazy in pregnancies (and gain a nice amount of weight), so it is nice that I lose it all just by feeding my baby (No workout needed!) :P
21st: I am grateful for Pinterest. This site has been amazing when it comes to homeschooling ideas, fun crafts, and easy meals!

Nov 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th
Oops! Been busy...
14th: Grateful for a crockpot! It has now become a "tradition" that on Sundays, I put something in before church and then we get to eat immediately after coming home :)
15th: I am grateful for our burb. We had not planned on buying it the day we did, but everything just fell into place :)
16th: I am grateful for how good of sleepers my kids are. Sure every once in a while there is a rough nap or bedtime but 95% of the time, things go wonderfully :) (They get up by 7 every morning and that sucks but they also go to bed at 7 :P)
17th: I am grateful for Bo's job. Whether he will be there forever, for the next 5 years, or even just til next month, this job was a miracle from heaven. His boss chose Bo while we were in Wyoming to take the internship position, which was paid! Then he extended a job offer and helped pay for us to move out here. His boss is also who we rent our house from which makes turning in rent super easy :P

November 12th and 13th
12th: I am so grateful for how God made children's bodies. They go through things that would break or hurt an adult so badly! Most times, they just get up. Sometimes, there are tears but they are quickly cleared up with a kiss from mom or dad. I am just so grateful that they are spared from horrible injuries during these tender ages.
13th: I am grateful for my calling. I just love seeing all those kids every Sunday and being a part of their learning the truths of God. I have one sweet little girl who I just light up when I see her coming to the back of the chapel before church to say hi :) I cannot get enough of hearing "Sister Thomas" by all the little kids :)
