Only 3 more weeks!

We are on the final countdown! Eric will be coming home in just 3 short weeks!

I know this is the life of a military wife, and don't get me wrong I am so proud of him, but being a single mom sucks! I don't know how those military wives do it whose husbands are gone for 1-2 years. I know I have it easy, so I try not to complain.
So excited that he is coming home though! Finally we can see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Change.....

The only kind I like:

Booths, Booths, & more Booths!

As most of you know, I will be promoting to Supervisor with Usborne on October 1st! It has been a very busy couple of months. I have been a horrible blogger, but between Usborne, being a mom, getting back in school and now having 3 kids with lots of homework, I don't have time!

My days have been filled with booth preparations. Organizing books, labeling books, taking inventory, etc. This week I will be at:

Last weekend it was the Utah County Pet Fair! This was a fun one! Lots of animals, and right off Salem Pond. I think I might look for houses in Salem when the time comes!

They even married a cow and a bull! :-)

Gotta love the ducks in the pond!

And of course, my booth!

Also for the last couple months I have had the Pleasant Grove Promenade (Farmer's Market) every Thursday night! This has been fun and I love chatting with people in the community!

Here I am! I will just be there tomorrow night 1 more time before they end for the summer!

They always had fun things for the kids to do!

And live entertainment!

Whew! I am tired! Books are not light, but I love what I do so it makes it worth it!

And as always, if you need books for Christmas, check me out!!! And, to help me secure my spot for supervisor, I am offering a special through the 28th of September! If you order $20 or more from me, or off my website I will send you an additional $10 gift certificate to use on a future purchase! **Please let me know if you place an online order so I can be sure and get you your gift certificate.

Have a great day!!!!

Time for a big bed?

The last few days Cade has been taking his naps in his big brother Preston's bed. He loves it! We still have him in a crib, (no other child pushing him out of it at this point), plus it was just easier. He doesn't climb out, and he seems to be doing okay in it still.

He has however been waking up at all hours of the night since Eric has been gone. So lately I have wondered if it could be that he is ready for a new bed! He moves so much in bed that maybe he would be happier in a normal bed now.

I guess I should start looking for another set of bunkbeds since this house wouldn't allow anything else!

Nothing cuter than a sleeping baby (okay, toddler) but he is still my baby! :-)

Eric's Trip to Doha!

Eric sent me a couple pictures a few weeks ago! He finally got to leave the base with some of his unit! They were able to go into Doha and see the sights! Here they are in the car!

Relaxing in some massage chairs in one of the stores! Love how the chairs cradle your legs and feet. I would love to see how that feels right now!

And finally...restaurant food! Yummy!

It was too dark outside to get any good pictures of the city. He is hoping to go once more before he comes home, then maybe he can get some! We are on the final countdown now though!!! Only about 30 more days!!!

Oquirrh Mountain Temple Dedication

What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday! Today was the dedication of the new Oquirrh Mountain Temple. Such a wonderful experience!
I was able to take both Preston and Jaida to attend. It was so nice! We are such a blessed people, and I am so proud to be a member of the church.
There are so many things in the world today that can pull you in all directions. I feel so grateful to know that my life has purpose, that there is a plan set up for all of us, and there is so much more to look forward too. I love the temple, and we are so blessed to be surrounded by so many. Attending this meeting once again strengthened my testimony. I know my Heavenly Father loves me, and he has laid out a plan for me to return and live with Him again.
I felt the spirit so strong today. It made me miss Eric, but at the same time reminded me once again that no matter where he is at the moment, we are an eternal family. I am so grateful for that knowledge. I knew when I was very young that I wanted to get married in the temple. I let nothing stand in my way. I am so thankful I found a worthy man with my same values willing and able to take me there over 12 years ago.
I pray that I can make good choices, and continue to live worthy to attend there often. Attending the temple is one of the greatest blessings we can receive on this earth. We just have to take advantage of it.
One of the messages today talked about how we have nice homes with all the accomodations for living. We have rooms for eating, rooms for sleeping, rooms for television and recreation. We need a room for the Savior! Make sure He is in our homes. Make sure there are pictures on the walls depicting our beliefs, and representing who we are and our faith. Have reminders of the standards we have set for ourselves so we don't get lost in the shuffle.
I know simplicity is one of the keys to being happy, but when we include the Savior we only increase that happiness!

Back to School!!

The kids all went back to school this week starting Thursday the 20th of August! Summer was great, but with Eric gone we didn't do near as much fun stuff, and they were getting bored! Here is Preston my big 5th grader. It is freaking me out that he is old enough to go to Clear Creek this year. I loved Clear Creek!

And Jaida starting 3rd grade.

Alyssa going into 1st grade. SO excited for all day, and to be able to eat lunch at school!

Here's all 3, humoring me and smiling for the camera.


Also a shot with Cade. He wanted to be in the picture, but didn't want to stand by them. Silly kid! I'm not sure what Alyssa is doing. I think she was overly excited for the big day.

Alyssa coming back to say goodbye once more. Maybe a little nervous.

Welcome Fall!!!!
