Holding nothing back.......

Well I think that it is fair to say that we have held nothing back the last two years.........If it was possible, if it was hard, if it was easy, if it was happy, if it was sad, if it was insane, believe me we have done it.....Sometimes not by choice. I follow a blog and the key theme that she is always saying is "I CAN DO HARD THINGS" My family can definitely do hard things. When I get discouraged I always think of that. The last 4 months have been nothing short of eventful......So let's start at the beginning. We moved to CO for Jon's job. For the short 5 months we were there Jon's work closed down and Jon got transferred back to North Dakota (our move to CO was our 5 year plan, that was a good one). The home we rented went into foreclosure, this ended up being a blessing, it is interesting how the lord works. We moved yet again back to UT. I really loved CO, I was a pessimist and I can tell you that I learned so much in my move to CO just not about me but about my family and my faith and I would not change that for ANYTHING. I have become more of an optimistic, which is good, because what was about to happen next I was not at all prepared for........ We moved to Spanish Fork, we got all unpacked the house put together, Jon kept saying what is your rush it does not have to be unpacked and put away NOW, take your time. We went to church one time, Jon went back to ND, the kids started school! Things were going good and just when I took a breath I was reminded that I can do hard things! I gracefully fell down and broke my foot. I have 18 screws and two metal plates. The easy part of this was I was 31 weeks pregnant. The best part is I cannot put any weight on my foot for 8 weeks....The last three weeks have been interesting to say the least but can I tell I have never seen so much love. As I mentioned earlier we had only lived here for one Sunday, our ward has been amazing, we knew nobody, and the service has been incredible I can honestly say I have never seen anything like it. My family, I should not say that I am surprised, but I am surprised they have tolerated this because everyone has pitched in to help. My poor mom has run herself ragged and I have no idea how I will ever repay her. Today I am doing much better pain wise, I am 33 weeks pregnant, I am determined to have a baby without crutches in hand. My kids are adjusting. Jon came home so my mom has a week vacation from me. I CAN DO HARD THINGS is something I think of everyday. I often have to remind myself WHY NOT ME instead of WHY ME??? The last 2 years have been the hardest for Jon and I. I am so grateful we have had each other through all of this. Some of the events I would rather not experienced but I can tell you I have learned so much. I ,now, love unconditionally, I take nothing for granite, I am grateful for my husband and the sacrifices he makes for our family, If you don't like your situation you can change it and only you can change it. Enjoy every moment with your kids good and bad you don't want to regret it later. This was a long post sorry, once I can move a little better I will post pictures. I CAN DO HARD THINGS
