Life is.....good!

So many things have been going on the last 4 months...Biggest news is I'm pregnant! Kind of a surprise but something I have been wanting for a long time. I took Ava swimming about a month ago, pretty regular evening. As we were leaving and walking into the locker room she looked at me and said "Mom you are pregnant!" I was a little embarrassed at first because she said it in front of a lot of people. Then as we got home I started thinking about it, and how weird it was for her to even say the word "pregnant". So being the neurotic individual that I am I was off to get a test. The test of course came back positive. So here I am....9 weeks along. There was a time I thought I would never be blessed to experience this again. Now at times it seems my blessings are never ending. Whit is having a baby too, and we get cousins that will only be 4 months apart! I can't wait to meet her baby boy.



The new year has brought some other changes in my family. Changes that have been so wonderful I feel like I'm still getting used to them...or waiting for the changes to stop. I can honestly say these last 4 months I am happier than I have been in a long time....like 3 years long. Are things perfect? No way! But I actually feel important ....whether I am or not who knows...but I feel like I am and that's all I care about. There has been an attentiveness...(is that a word?) that has never been present before and I'm so thankful for it. I always say...it's a Tyler effort...but it's still an effort!



Ava and Tyler have become quite the little buddies. As she is getting older and somewhat easier to take places they do a lot together. She told me the other night that Dad was her best friend. They even have a little saying....Tyler will say righteo princess...and she always responds with righteo batman. So silly but so cute.



Last month I was asked to be an assistant to the ward camp director. I am pretty excited about this. While I don't get to go to camp for the whole week, I still get to help plan which will be so fun. I get to work with Annie Tanner and Misti Bruedder. Love these ladies! Misti and I were joking at our last meeting how we had only gone to camp once and never went back...hopefully these girls will have a great experience and want to go back for another year.



Things are busy! I am still working at Premier and I picked up a day at Rupes during the week. Ava is busy with school and dance. Tyler will be busy with golf if the weather can stay nice for longer than a day! Life is....good!
