Update on my life... abbreviated!

I realize that there have been SOOO many changes over the last 3 years (or so) since I blogged.  And yet, so few as well.

Things that are still the same:

Will and I are still here in Provo.
Will has been working for the same company (kind of).
Our kids are growing. 
Eva talks incessantly.
We made ridiculous costumes every Halloween.

Things that have changed:

We were called as Nursery (18 month - 3 year old) leaders at church when Eva was 15 months old, and then released when I was 8 months pregnant with Katie.
Will was called as an 11 year old scout leader.
Will took the LSAT.
Will applied to law school (last month).
Will got accepted to UMKC (with a scholarship), and we're waiting to hear from our other top 2 choices.
We'll be moving in 9 months or so (we didn't apply to any schools in Utah).
My parents moved to their property in Missouri.
My sister, Becky, is getting married! In less than 2 weeks!!!!

I'm sure there is so much more that has changed, but right now the biggest thing in our lives is getting ready for law school! We're super excited.  I've had so many people ask if I'm nervous, and to be honest, yes, but not how you'd think... I know Will can do law school.  I know he will excel at it!  I'm nervous about him not being available as much as I'd like, but even that isn't a super big deal.  I think my most nerve wracking thing is getting ready to move! We've been here for nearly 7 years, and I have a TON of junk. 

The next big thing I have to do is pack up each season as it's over... When Fall is done, it all gets packed away, Winter... same thing... Spring... You get the idea. 

For now, I think the big thing is getting ready to go tour a couple of schools, and then waiting to hear back!

Wish us luck... and get your best lawyer jokes ready!

I haven't written in a long time... I thought it was about time to resurrect my blog.  We'll see how long this lasts this time. Here's a bit of a surprise to those of you who aren't my friends on Facebook.... I had another baby!  Kathryn was born in January and she's 8 1/2 months old now and such a happy baby.  Here's a peek at the photo shoot I did just over a month ago.  I love my girls!

Meet Katie!

ABSOLUTELY my favorite!

She's so sweet!

That tire was FILTHY!

Eva's knees work well as a head rest!

These two are best friends!

She has grown up so much!

Looking at Daddy!

Surprise!

I'm thinking... I'm thinking...

I've tried to figure out what happened with my blogging after Eva was born, and I think I've come to some conclusions.

#1 - I had HORRIBLE postpartum depression after Eva was born, but until now, I didn't realize how bad my depression really was.

#2 - Facebook... enough said.

#3 - I overwhelmed myself with other people's blogs... people who are really nice people, I'm sure, but when I stopped reading all blogs in general, I found I had more time... hence liking FB a bit more... it gave me the opportunity to check in on people, but not need to read EVERY blog post.

For now, I'll update as I feel like it, and hopefully that's more often than once every 3 years!
