Pictures

New family pictures are coming. We just returned from having our pictures done. The last time was in Providence almost 3 years ago! We should have a good family picture that we can post since the photographer will sell us a disc (including the copy rights) of all the pictures that she took. She got some really cute ones of the kids. Hopefully I didn't blink in all of them! Things have settled down in my life, it has been a rough road for the last little while, but we are through it. All of the bumps and bruises that we have gone through, mostly between my sweet wife and I, have all been worth the result. Our relationship is better now than it has ever been. Barb and I have learned a lot about ourselves and each other the last little while. All of this learning has not been easy, but it has brought us closer together than we have ever been. I especially have learned some things about myself that were not pleasant, that I did not really want to admit. Barbie has had some of the same experiences. Even though it was hard, it has all been worth it. We have had the guidance of the Lord, and His helping hand through it all.

Time flies!

It is almost Christmas! I have been out of town most of the week this week. I cannot believe how fast this month has been going by. It is hard to believe that 2008 is almost over! I really don't have anything profound to say today, it has just been a long time since I have posted anything to my blog. I guess all I am doing is making an effort to write. I was going to keep the blog like a journal. As you can see, my journal writing is lacking. I used to be really good at it. However, when I stop and think about my past journal writing, most days I was writing just to say that I wrote and not really recording anything important. I don't know if that is the way a person should keep a journal or not.

How did it get to be December!?!

Where did November go? We went to Brigham City for Thanksgiving. It was great to get together with Jim and his Family. Thanksgiving was actually somewhat small this year, It was Jim's family, Barb's parents and us. Erica did come spend Friday and Saturday. Spending 4 days on an air mattress makes me appreciate my bed! We went to the Ogden Temple and collected another card for Barb, on the way home we stopped at Temple Square and looked at the lights. It was a great weekend. We are glad to be home, but not ready for it to be December already. This year has just flown by!
