This last week I've been asked a couple of times how I've been able to be doing so well and still be laughing. Well, my only response is because of all of you. I have never been surrounded or have felt so much support and love from everybody until now. First of all my great parents for helping me out with the kids, and calling to check up on me and make sure I'm doing ok. My dad who helped me get on a budget. I never relized how much money I was spending, mostly on eating out. I have always said that its cheaper eating out because most of the grocerys I bought would just be thrown out because we wouldn't use them in time. This week I actually ran out of bread. I was in shock. Now when I ask my kids if they want to go to McDonalds they tell me they would rather eat at home. I actually tried to bribe Braxton and said we could go inside and play on the toys, but no he wanted a grilled cheese. Next, my great in-laws. Thanks Vicki for giving up all your Saturdays to wake up at 6 in the morning and come watch my kids. They have been so great. They have sacrificed so much for me and my boys to have a great life. Some day in some way I will pay you back for all your generosity. Also thanks Ted and Sindi for being there to talk too and watching the boys. I am so thankful.
I cant forget my friends for calling and checking up on me and always offering to help me in anyway they can. You are all so great. I love you. Thanks Sherice for being such a great friend, you helped me out when I was in need. Sometimes just going to get your hair done and talking is all you need to make your whole week. I love my two friends Erin and Jen for running with me and helping me burn off all my extra steam, and a few calories. I look forward to it all day long.
My ward and nieghborhood have been great, Bringing me dinners unexpectantly. Somebody showing up when I need to talk, not knowing why they came over. They just said they were thinking of me and thought they would drop by. Marcel for helping me with my kids at sacrement the few times I'm there, and always offering a helping hand. Thanks to everyone who helps keep an eye on Braxton when he's out playing and I have no idea where he is at. I figure he'll come home eventually. Thanks Erin for letting him spend the night on a school night so I could make a little extra money (that doesn't sound so good, I went to work, at Primarys). I couldn't have picked a better place to live.
Since, I brought up work I have to let you know these are my councelers. Everytime I go I get 12 hours of 25 women telling me their trials and helping me realize I'm not alone. It is amazing how much people go through, and for some reason when its just a bunch of women we talk, about everything. These guys have gone through all my rollercoasters with me over the past 8 years. They have been there to cry on, laugh with and discuss all my frustation. I have had so much drama they love to come see whats happening in my life. They know they'll always get a story out of me.
So you can see, this is how I survive because I know that everyone is willing to help me in what ever way they can. They are all so amazing. I am actually at peace with everything thats going on and I am thankful for everything thats happened in my life. I have three beautiful children that I love more then anything, I have the best parents, in-laws and friends anyone could ever ask for. So thank you for everything you guys do for me I love you all.
So I forgot to thank my wonderful sister and brothers. They are the best. There always looking out for me and helping me all the time. I love you guys very much.
