Finally!!!!

I am officially a manager!  I have put so much stress on myself that I have gone postal a couple of times.  And I'm pretty sure my husband thinks I'm a basket case, but my goal has been achieved.  Out of everything in the last year, where we are standing now as a family has me so proud.  We have grown together, fallen together, and we have begun to stand back up and finally we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
     And, on top of all of that, my van is going to be worked on this weekend as well.  We have thrown everything including the kitchen sink at this car, and this is our last ditch effort before I drive it off of a cliff.  It started overheating back in February.  We have changed out everything in this car.  The radiator, water pump, thermostat, radiator cap, everything.  Nothing has worked.  I can't even get a mile up the road without it getting hot.  That's sad.  This car doesn't even have 120,000 miles on it.  But, finally, there is someone willing to work on it for cheap, because we are basically having all the gaskets changed out on the engine.  And if this works, I won't be isolated in the middle of BFE anymore!!!! 
       The kids are doing great in school, and Autumn loves where she goes to day care at.  It's a home day care, and I adore the lady that takes care of the kids, and her kids and mine love each other too!  And they just moved even closer to us, like a block away lol.  That makes it so much easier. And the older two are going to be baptized in the beginning of March.  I'm so excited for that.  It makes me and Brian so proud be their parents.  Now if I could only get them to tell the truth half of the time lol!!! 
      So, on the last blog, I had quit smoking!  I have stuck to it, and am still not smoking.  Brian is working on his not smoking, but it is so difficult for him.  Hopefully, when insurance kicks in, we will be able to get him to a doctor so that he can get some extra help with it.  I hate seeing him struggle when he wants something like this.  Brian and I got baptized about a month ago as well, and that was amazing for both of us.  The changes in our house are indescribable.  There's a sense of peace in our home, and that hasn't been a feeling in our house for a long time because of all the setbacks that we have had.  We know that He is with us, because we feel Him every single day.  It's amazing, absolutely amazing.  I can't wait until we go to the temple and are able to experience all of His wonderful blessings.  Yet another goal set! 
     Well, I suppose I better go.  I don't know if many people read this or not, but I appreciate anyone who does.  This is my therapy in a way, and hopefully, now that my laptop is working, I can update it more on a regular basis.  And hopefully, soon, I can get some more pictures up on here!  Love to all!
