We Are Family...

Pretty sad when I can count on one hand how many posts I've made in a year.  I'm going to be super sad one of these days that I let my "business" take priority and I didn't document all that I wanted to!

Life IS busy though.  There is so little time to myself anymore!  I spent a lot of money on a huge order of paper-crafting things a whole week ago, and haven't been able to dive into it yet!  If you know me, you know how much I love to be crafty... I need a break!

Young Women in Excellence is this week, and once that is over, things should start making sense again.  I've been very busy trying to put it together to be a memorable experience for all that attend.  Hopefully it goes smoothly, at this point that's more than I can ask for.

Work isn't getting any easier.  We're experiencing a recession in Vernal.  Whenever oil goes below $50 a barrel, we start to panic.  My manager and I butt heads as well.  I feel like I'm targeted and berated at times- but I could just be sensitive.  I feel like the harder I try, the more problems come up.  It's frustrating and hard, and if I didn't love what I do so much, I'd be out of there!

Fall is upon us here, and it's so beautiful.  I was excited to get a family picture this year, and I love how it turned out.  I really couldn't ask for a more beautiful backdrop!

We also added a new member to the family.  Keela is somewhat of a rescue.  She was penned up outside for the summer, and her previous owner didn't want her back in the house, so he was giving her away.  She's a beautiful Brindle Boxer, with the sweetest disposition.  She's a little slow... still whines at the doggy-door to come in!  But she and Rocco seem to get along, Rocco seriously needed a playmate.  He was driving me crazy trying to get attention.  Now, just to figure out what to do with her when we're all at work...

Ali is in Young Women's now.  It's just crazy to me that she's old enough to be there, but I love seeing her face every Sunday.  I truly am so grateful for this calling!  Getting to know these girls has been so much fun, and feeling the spirit and it's inspiration is so amazing!  Wish us luck for the program this week... I could use my sanity and want it back as soon as possible!
