Good evening all! So sometimes, as before, my blog posts don't always post and I have to go back and post them again. So yesterday's post just got put up, but I wrote it last night....hmmmm technology....
Today was a good day! I unpacked my goal # of boxes, made phone calls for more people to come in and get this place made into our "home", and all with 2 little kiddos in tow!
After our morning chores, we headed out to our weekly pool meet up with people from the ward and neighboring wards. It is always fun and Connor and Joel enjoy swimming so much! We had a great time playing and getting to know more people today. I am so grateful there are new people there each time to meet!
After the pool, we ate lunch and headed to a supermarket called "Aldi's." What a neat place! What great prices as well! I got three whole grocery sacks full of food for 35 dollars....35 DOLLARS people! I am talking bananas, bisquick, freezer french toast, bacon, canned pumpkin and other things like those that would usually cost an arm and a leg at real grocery store chains. We will be back for sure!
So, not sure if it is the blog or what lol, but I went to the doctor today...did I post a while back that I tripped on our garage? There is a lip going into the garage from the driveway that I didn't see and I hit my big toe pretty hard. There was a shock wave effect and my ankle was pretty sore as well. Nothing I can really post as a happy moment, but today I went to the doctor and discovered I DO in fact have a broken toe. I just thought I might as well post it. Just couldn't get another 365 day blog without a broken bone of some kind I guess....I am just REALLY praying this isn't the beginning of some long journey we are about to take again. Because I came home and cried today. I mean REALLY cried. And like I said before...I don't cry anymore lol! But I just sat down and let it all out. It could have been the fact that I went upstairs after the doctor and took 20 minutes to get a skirt on over my boot only to find out that David and the kids had already eaten dinner without me. It could be the fact that I am not a fan of broken bones. My sweet Connor came up to me and gave me kisses and said, "Oh my poor Mommy!" It was very sweet and helped me to get a bit better. So yes, I know have a lovely boot as an accessory for the next week for my foot. Happy moment, I didn't shave my legs so my leg and ankle that are wrapped won't itch like crazy for the next week! Random, but happy!
So off to bed I go. Joel and I just spent a lovely hour playing a game called Candy Crush. It is a good one let me tell you. If you need to waste time, or keep your 7 year old talking about his day while you figure out your next move, just start up a game of Candy Crush! AND, I passed the level in 1st place for the first time tonight! Joel ran all over the family room yelling, "Oh yeah, oh yeah, go Mom, go Mom." He was so proud of me and I loved every minute! Well all, I am pretty sleepy, so I will sign off for now. I hope you all had a day with happy moments to find. It can be difficult at times. David and I feel so deep under these emotional burdens lately. But we remind ourselves of our family mantra and all that we have gone through before. It IS hard and like I told him tonight, I knew it isn't supposed to be easy, but it IS supposed to be worth it. So hold on to that dear readers, that it WILL be worth it at some point and that there IS a light at the end of every trial. Night all!
