The beginning of January I decided to write in our family journal to catch up on Christmas and other stuff; at that time we had discovered our first kitchen leak. I also wrote in the Journal that I felt that this new year was going to be "full of interesting surprises" and boy has it ever been that way. Not only did we have 1 leak, but 3 more following it and being without a kitchen for 2 months while also being called to choreograph our stake's 40's swing dance for the Temple Celebration, and just when we think our lives couldn't get any busier we found out some crazy news that I am 10 weeks PREGNANT with yes, number 4 baby! We knew that we were possibly pregnant two weeks before the celebration but didn't have much time to pay attention to it until it was over.

Well, so now we are busy getting our house back in order, our garden planted, our yard looking nice; and getting ready for this unexpected surprise and keep waiting for the next surprise that is around the corner. We have definately been hit with a lot this year, but continue to count our blessings.

The Celebration I might add, was so amazing and exciting to be a part of...we had our "post" firseside 2 Sundays ago so the youth could watch their dance and recieve a hankerchief that was made by our stake wardrobe lady (she made 700 hankies!) The firside was wonderful and the spirit was so strong; it was the perfect cap to the whole experience and we will forever be grateful we had the opportunity to be a part of it all.

ps- I chopped my hair short, ahhhhh but I am loving it! I will get some pics up soon.
