i have come to a sad realization...i have to make time for the blog.  it's not just something i can do whenever i want.  i have been really good about reading but i feel like i am too busy to blog.  but if everyone was as lazy as i have gotten i would cry.  moni you have made my year by joining the blog!!  i have to agree with mom, cameron has to keep with it.  you guys i don't even know where to begin.  in the last week we have spent two days in the emergency room, (first wil with a meningitis scare, then hazel with strep) painted our house, sold our house and numerous other everyday time consuming things.  notice i have never mentioned putting our house on the market to sell, that is because we never did.  we have been thinking about it. really thinking about it, enough for me to paint all the woodwork inside and out and paint the whole exterior.  but we never got to put the sign in the yard.  on friday the kids told our neighbor across the street that we were going to sell the house.  she said that her daughter wanted to buy a house in the hood here and she had looked at the other two on the street for sale and had been really disappointed.  so that night the daughter, kim, came over with her dad and said it felt like home as soon as she walked in the door.  now she still has to sell her other house, but we are going to a broker tomorrow to sign "papers".  i don't know exactly what papers they are but i think it is an agreement that we will sell and she will buy at the set price.  we are so excited.  i have been worried about who would buy my little house.  i didn't want some rif raf who would come in and destroy it and the hood.  kim and her daughter, who just happens to be one of jane's really good friends from when she lived here will be perfect.  heavenly father has definitely had his hand in this.  i have had kim's name come to mind several times when we talked about selling, but she has a little house just about 1 1/2 miles away, so i thought i was being silly.  friday morning, mary kay, (my neighbor) said a prayer that kim would find a way to move onto the street and as she was about to go watch the news but felt like she should go out on the front porch instead and that is when the kids told her about the house.  the timing was good because kim was in serious negotiation with another guy on the street who has trash his house.  so we get a good deal and so does she.  am i boring you yet?  so it's not really sold, but it's looking good.  now we just have to tell our poor bishop that he will more than likely be loosing the first counselor in the ym's presidency, camp director and probably the hardest to fill...nursery worker.  now the question is where will we go?  more than likely not the family farm.  we are going to homestead our own place hopefully about a mile away.  we are looking at a few different places, but really hoping for 10 acres on the farger lake flats for all of you that know where i am talking about.  cory and i have designed a house with some very good advice and changes from mom.  if we can keep our heads we will do ok, but we haven't even started building and already we know why everyone goes with the cheap, easy cookie cutter houses around here.  this is a lot of work.  thankfully i am blessed with the smartest husband alive. 

sorry that was long and crazy, but i feel like there is so much to tell.  but you all have lots to tell and i need to hear it.  moni i so want to see harley and jordan in "annie".  chels is there anyway you could get married around the same time as the play?  that way i could see them.  brooke you know this baby will never let you see what it is, because that would make you life a little easier and that just doesn't seem to be in the cards for you. 

well have have to go clean my kitchen, do my laundry, watch a.i. and go to the pharmacy to get antibiotics for jackson who we think has strep, (3 out of 4 isn't bad).  but it's not like a big week for him he is only testing for his green belt, and getting baptized, so this is a good time for him to be sick.
