Well, my Logan boy got married. Hard to believe he is a married man! It's awesome though. We sure do love the girl he married. Katie is a sweetheart, she's one of those people you just can't help but love. She is so sweet and kind to everyone. I believe this marriage was a match made in heaven. I never really pictured my children at this age, old enough to really have adult conversations with - I like it!
This life we live is so strange sometimes. When my babies were little I never really thought about not always taking care of them. And my mom - I never really thought about her not always being there to take care of me. My rolls in life have changed, my children don't need much care anymore and my mother (who now lives with me) needs me to take care of her. But life is good and I like this age. I love having daughters now and grandchildren on the way. It's so AWESOME! Life is change - growth is optional...

2012
Happy New Year Everyone,
2012 holds many new and wonderful life changes for me. My family has changed so much over the last year. As I look back at 2011, I am amazed at how my family has grown, not only physically, but spiritually and emotionally. One child got married and we added one. My elderly mother moved in with us and we added one again. I've grown much closer to my Heavenly Father as I've learned to rely on him. I couldn't be happier with my youngest boy, Nick. He is an awesome young man and while I know he is just a kid and makes mistakes, I am happy to say he learns from them, he has a testimony of his Savior, and he loves the Lord.
2012 holds still more changes. Our family will be growing as we welcome Katie into our family in January and Brandon and Trisha's new baby in the summer. I plan on lots of fishing and camping with Nick and spending some quality time with my mother. People ask me about the inconvenience of having her in my home and one more person to take care of. I feel quite blessed to have her. She has been very kind to my family and we love her quite dearly. She's still pretty spunky! She's 84 years old, but it still isn't sinking in for me, I guess I'm just not ready for my mother to get old.
I hope that the new year will hold great things for everyone. I've learned a lot over the last year. The main thing is that we can't count on life being the way we want everyday, but we can count on it passing us by if we are continually thinking we'll get to "it" tomorrow. Don't wait for tomorrow, live for today.
