It is so reassuring to know that we have so many people that care about us and genuinely want to help. Just knowing that you are there and praying for us, supports us. Y'all are truly amazing. We love you all and thank our Heavenly Father everyday for having you in our lives. Thank You!

Yes, we are still alive

Okay, okay...so I know it has been a REALLY long time since that last blog and I've fallen behind.  I wanted to post pictures of Christmas, but my camera died Christmas day, so I had to wait to copy pics from Aaron's mom.  Then things were a little busy with the new school semester starting. And then we got to February...

A lot happened in February, but the biggest "thing" was Aaron losing his job. We won't go into the details here because most of you already now, but a series of events lead up to what Aaron calls "a life changing day." Not only have we lost our source of income, but Aaron has a new understanding of work and family. He has shared with many of us how this difficult trial has helped him view his family in a new light. And we love him no matter what his job title (or lack thereof) is.  :) So, that happened just before Valentine's day, which kind of put a bummer on the holiday.  So we went to the temple as our date.  Then, the following weekend, some of Aaron's family came to visit. It was fun and I got to ice skate with Joshua! Now, he keeps telling me he wants to learn to ice skate so that he can play hockey. :) Also, I started a babysitting job, watching a little 5 month old baby girl, five days a week. Combine her with 7 month old Aubrey and it feels pretty close to having twins! Needless to say, I'm busy.  Then last weekend was my birthday, no excitement-just a nice quiet day with my family.

And now it's March! I can't believe it's March already. Our wedding anniversary is this weekend, along with a bunch of church activities that we are suppose to help with.  So, we are rolling forward and keeping busy.  It might be a while before I get a chance to blog. We will see...
