I am still on dial-up so my postings have been less frequent. It really takes SO long to download pictures this way. There is something to be said for speed - especially when working with computers.

The kids are all doing well. They are dealing with this time well, I think. We are living in a half packed house and most of their toys are in boxes. We have been going to a park almost daily to make up for the house being not so fun. I also go out for my walk/jogs. Mostly walks this week. Pushing all three kids while running is still so tough without stomach muscles to help. I do need to build up my strength and not tear up what strength I do have. That is hard for me - to pace myself. I want to be strong now! I am trying. Walking can be enjoyable too, it is just that when you run you get an amazing rush of endorphins that last a long time. I do not get that when I walk, even when I walk hard. Running is special, as any one who runs can tell you, it is a great rush. I am excited to get there again. I will!

Not much exciting is going on now. Everything exciting is upon us in less than 4 weeks! I am trying to enjoy the time I have here now. I love this area, I will miss it here. I am trying to take in the memories and make them sweet. I am excited to move on though - I LOVE change. Anyone who knows me or has been in my home knows that about me. I normally rearrange my furniture at least once a month. I love new and exciting things and places. I do not get too attached to things because I know it is all temporary and one day we will have to sell everything anyway and go on missions. : ) That will be the good stuff. . . right mom and dad??

Well, that is all for now. It is about bed time here.

Lots of love!
