My life seems kind of boring but I guess we do have some fun stuff going on over here. Stephen has been busy with work, it seems like he leaves earlier and comes home later. We are thankful for his job and that stability that it brings.
Katelyn is 4 1/2 now and goes to preschool 3 days a week now. She is doing really well and cannot wait for Kindergarten.
Preston is almost 2 1/2 and he is my little lover. He still likes to snuggle and hug and kiss but he is getting to be a feisty little 2 year old. I think if he were a first child he'd really be playing us but we got smart after Katelyn and we've got him under control. They play really well together which makes my heart happy.
I am still growing out my hair and I love it. I got a gym membership and I am IN LOVE with ZUMBA! I go every time Katelyn is at preschool so I only have to pay for Preston to go to the daycare. I have also been tanning in preparation for our cruise to Mexico! We are leaving the kids with my favorite cousins Krista and Cathy. They are graciously coming out to my home to take care of my kids. How cool is that?
We've been off of birth control since November and nothing is happening. I am starting to get discouraged and feeling like something must be wrong with me, I heard it's harder to get pregnant when you have thyroid issues, maybe that's the problem? I don't know.
We recently switched wards and I am loving our new one. We feel very welcomed there. I was really struggling with my testimony and then I had a bunch of crap happen to me and I just quit going to church for a while. My first Sunday in our new ward I felt the spirit so strong that I just bawled my eyes out. I couldn't believe that I ever doubted, it's like the cloud has been lifted and I am back to believing, it feels good. I've been put in as a Laurel Advisor and I really enjoy it. I love my girls and all the activities and I swear any type of spiritual meeting I've bawled my eyes out at. I wish I would have been able to love myself back then, I think it would have saved me a lot of heart ache. I never completed the Young Women's program, although it won't count, I think I am going to complete it as an adult. That will also help with my testimony I am sure. I have great friends and family and life is really good, I am really grateful for that. Well that about sums it up.

Yay you blogged! I love you! I'm so glad you are goign to Mexico, how nice for you and stephen.
As far as babies go, I know it can be hard when trying to get pregnant. I've been there too. I'm so sorry you are feeling devastated about it. My advice? When you ovulate, take a mucinex. It will make all the muccus/fluid in your body become more liquidy including your "lady fluid" and make it easier for sperm to go flying up! TMI? never;)
Anwho, I'm so glad you are happy and I love you to pieces!:)
Glad things are looking up for you. I've found that even with a strong testimony, it's possible to have times of doubt. I've realized through those times that it's important to keep reading scriptures and going to church, etc, because the answers always come eventually and the doubt leaves. If we don't immerse ourselves in those things - especially when we're struggling, we're shutting out the peace and the answers. Good luck with the YW program. With all your learning - you'll be a great example for those girls!
Hey sister!! Long time no see, sad day about that btw!! :( We def need to hang out, I'm soo frickn' bored out of my mind!!! Ps. I'm SO happy for you!!!

I did a shout for joy in my heart when I saw that you had updated your blog! Hurray! Is that selfish of me? :)
I think you're super fantastic my friend and I am so glad that we moved back so we could be pals.
That baby making business can be frustrating - I am sorry. I hope everything turns out perfectly.
Thanks for sharing your testimony of the spirit. I love it.
well i love you. i'm sorry that you've been going through such hard times. sometimes things just stink. but it seems that you have it all figured out right now.
as for babies. you'll know what to do. if you are worried or concerned, ask questions. always trust yourself to know what is best for you and your family.
i love you,
auntie kimber
good luck with everything! We tried for a year with no luck of getting pregnant! I have thyroid issues too, but they don't think that was the problem...mine was more PCOS, but that could have been triggered by the thyroid problems too. Anyways long story short we ended up going on clomid and bam it worked! Maybe talk to your dr. about that if you haven't already! Good luck, i know how frustrating and hard it can be!
