Ok, so I don't have much of an excuse for not posting more recently, but I blame moving three times in the last two months and planning a move in the next month. Here's a little bit of an explanation:
After much prayer, tears, and gut-wrenching worrying, Michael and I decided that the path we were headed down was not good for our family. Michael withdrew from med school and we flew back to the US. We lived in Texas for a few and then moved in with my parents in Utah. Yep, all four of us are currently sleeping in a bedroom the size of...well, let's just say our queen-sized air mattress and the kids' pack n plays leave a floor space of about four square feet. Maybe five. At least we can open and close our door. See me being positive? But really, we are certainly being blessed in what we are doing. It's been fun to be around my family and see my kids get to know their cousins and grandparents and other extended family. My little sister Stacey is engaged to my soon-to-be brother-in-law, Brandon. They are getting married December 8th in the Bountiful Temple. I've been enjoying helping her plan and also getting to know Brandon. We will be staying at my parents house until the day after Brandon and Stacey get married. Then we'll be moving to California where Michael will be attending the Southern California University of Health Sciences. He is planning on doing a dual degree in Chiropractic (DC) and acupuncture and oriental medicine (AOM). This is something that Michael has always been interested in and will be a little bit less intensive than the medical schooling was....which, by the way, gives me a new respect for doctors and their families.
Anyway, to wind down on this (what I imagine to be) quite informative yet boring blog post, let me just say that I am working on some fun projects that will end up on here someday, so just bear with me and look forward to that. Also, I finally got our family pictures taken so you can look forward to seeing those really soon.
