i survived!!

Ive decided the definition of Insanity is 12 9 year olds at a birthday party lol. Wade turned 9 on the 22nd and i havent let him have a friend b-day in 2 years so i decided to go all out lol. so we planned a lego b-day party, and invited 8 people..lol but wade my social bug kept inviting more and more kids lol till i threatened him that if he invited one more i would call it off lol.

anyway they all had a blast making lego knight shields and having a lego building competition :) and after it was done i was so exhausted. especially since the cake took an hour to build the two raid towers lol!! but wade said it was the best day in his life and so it made it all worth it in the end lol!! and now emma is going on about what she wants for her birthday lol. at least i have till november to recover hehe.

In other news: nate has decided to take a job in wy. after much discussion we have decided the car business is just not going to get better for awhile and we are swimming in our medical debt. as much as it pains me to see him do it, i know its the right thing. so in the next couple weeks he is leaving to go to wy for at least 6 mo to a year. he can come home on sundays..but its a 6 hr dr..and with winter coming i dont know how much that will really work :( so im gearing myself up to be a single mom for awhile. We would go with him, but wade is doing so well at this school i cant take him out, so it is a sacrafice i need to make so that my kids can keep going to. Nathan is going to have a tough time as he loves his children dearly and would spend every waking hour with them if he could. we are buying web cams so nate can say goodnight to them every night. and of course talk with me. luckily i have my two dogs to keep me company in bed lol i hate sleeping alone . plus the house is still up for sell so i will probably be moving alone to. we are putting the moving to texas aside till at least wade is out of school. but decided to sell the house since we dont know how long it will take to sell. i will then rent a house in either brigham city or north ogden and continue sending wade to school. wow what i would do for a nice boring life right? lol

The Corinne Pageant

For all of you who dont know i live in a little small dopey town called corinne, it has a little over 500 people. Just the way i like it. lol But it has a very colorful history. it was the first Gentile city in utah. it had more brothels and saloons than people!! for all those who know there history golden spike(promotory point) is close to us where the north train rail met the south. The little town of corinne went from 50 people to 10,000 back to 50 in 5 years!! its was quite a towns with "soiled doves" and oprah house, and a steam ship that went 500 ft before running aground on a sand bar lol. It had a divorce machine, where for 2.50 u could get a divorce signed by a layer without ur spouse present lol...2000 people did this till it was found to be illegal lol.

anyway corinne is mostly a small mormon town now. but the corinne historical society doesnt want people to forget about the history of this town, so every year we do a little play nothing spectacilar, all is volunteer by the community.. but its so fun!! the last 3 years i have been a " soiled dove" my husband a muleskinner and kids pioneer kids. I have also choregraphed the dances. as soon as i figure out how to upload vidoes ill have to share the"bear river dance" the cowboys do lol...its a riot and lots of fun. What a way the town comes together to celebrate our quirky history lol. i thought id share some of our fun pictures..i have one more with the sheriff and the soiled doves i need to upload...but enjoy lol

poem

Holly and i did a little poem writing let us know what u think :)

who knows who cares for me?

who knows the beating of my heart?
who cares for the light in my soul?
who dreams the same dreams that i do?
who knows who cares for me?

who hears the cries in my head?
as i walk through the trials of fire.
who holds my hand in the darkness?
who knows who cares for me?

who leads me a long when I'm down?
who carries me when i a have no strength?
whose eternal arms are around me?
who knows who cares fo me.?

Who will guide me through this life?
who will open the doors to the sky?
who will lift me up to heavens?
who knows who cares for me?

Wade's first day of venture academy was a field trip to the bird refuge in farmington. he loved it!! The next day i asked him what subject he learned. he said i didnt learn anything. i said oh ya what did u do? and he said we played a game, i was a swallow , and there was preditors (falcons and merlins) and i was a pray and they chased us. then we made a chart and i drew a whole group of swallows. so i said hmm sounds like u didnt learn any science at all today lol. Then today he came home and said school was so awsome and that there math class was really cool and go to use bigger numbers than normal lol. i am so glad he is enjoying it. he has made a new friend in the carpool named wyatt..who is also as smart as a whip. now i wonder what im going to do when we move, im going to have to try and put him in another charter school, i mean he is loving every minute of this and i know he wil continue to do so throughout the year!! sad thing is every school should be like this...where ur curriculum is hands on, and your works is based on your lvl. how sad our public school system keeps getting worse instead of better!!

little miss kimber

this is little miss kimber who came into our life in nov of 07 and left june of 08, it was a tough case and a heartrenching story. i pray everyday that she is safe, and that she will grow to be strong and happy...she will forever be a part of our family and melded into our hearts forever!!

we miss you kimber!! and we love you!!


Well Wade is officially going to venture academy tomorrow. i am excited for him. they are going on a field trip allready....its sounds like such an awesome school i hope he likes it.

ive been thinking alot about writing again. melissa just won first place with her awesome story and im so proud of her, and she got me thinking of how i use to love to write. so maybe ill drop a peom or something here or there who know..lol

venture academy

I just got a call today from a charter school called venture academy. I learned that Wade has been accepted to their school. Its been excited but stressful to think about. first it would be an excellent opportunity for him to continue growing his education...he is an especially smart boy...who learns very easy and every year in school, they cap his reading and math...to the point he's bored...i try and suppliment at home but its not the same thing. then there is the smaller class size and the the more hands on teaching methods..only down thing is its so far away...and we would have to carpool down. its alot to think about..especially with thinking of moving on the way but i think it will work. Ill let you know how it goes lol...talk with you soon

Im Back!!

Hello everyone :) After a long vacation of writing I finally decided to start again lol. I read melissa's post everyday and wish i was keeping up with hers lol. so here it goes.

Whats up with me: I am currently remodeling my house so i can sell it. After much time and consideration we have decided to move to San Antonio texas. people think we are crazy (except my sis holly who understands) but i know we are suppose to do that...not only that i know that my future foster children are out there waiting for us. after much prayer and fasting i know that thats where they are. So i have been working my butt off everyday repainting rooms, adding a deck and french doors, trying to slim things out to make the house look its best. it goes up for sale wed. this week so wish me luck.

I am excited about moving except for leaving my friend melissa. she has been more than a friend , more like a sister to me... i will miss her dearly, and frequently tell her im dragging her to texas lol. well i am going to keep up this blog..if its the last thing i can do!! so cya soon lol
