I'm alive :)

Had a hard couple of weeks. It was honestly a combination of things. Jamie's untimely death really drummed up some memories of other loved ones lost and I didn't realize how raw some of those emotions still are. The good thing is I found myself turning to my scriptures for reassurance that there is a plan for each of us.
The girls started crawling out of their cribs. I was really lucky with this. Andrew was out of his crib at 17 months. The girls will be 2 1/2 Sunday. However, I was hoping that we could transition them to big girl beds when we moved. They like not being in the crib but they also like pulling ALL of their clothes and toys out so that's not fun. :)
Andrew is in a bit of a difficult stage. Nothing unusual for his age but I would love to go a full day without being questioned why. :) He's a good kid, really. Just too smart for his own good sometimes. He did get a Superior rating (the highest) at a piano competition about a week ago. He was excited and I was proud that all that listening to those same two songs OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER paid off. :)
We also got a bit of good news. Josh MAY get to come home a month early with his team. YAY! So instead of 22 months apart it will be 21. He could possibly be back in just 6 weeks!!!!
The tougher news is that we move within 30 days of his return so we have to get ready NOW!!!
Things are looking up. I have plans to spend the day tomorrow with my best friend and NO KIDS. Can't wait to have some good food, good conversation and good company. :)
