My Life

I am always posting stuff about the girls and I forget to fill you in on all I am doing right now. Which is a lot. I feel like I woke up this morning and all of a sudden I was a grown up. How does that happen? I am turning 28 this month, I have been married over seven years, my husband is three classes away from a Masters Degree, I have three children, three cars, (yep Burke got a truck) and three church callings. Nope not a type-O I currently have three callings. You have to love living in the mission field. So to give you an idea (and a record for posterity) I am going to record my schedule for this week here in my blog
