Ketchup

So it's been a while... We have been pretty busy around here!
The middle of July we made a humble decision to move into my parents basement. We are SO grateful for this opportunity. My love for my family has sky rocketed and I feel like we are growing closer and we do a lot of fun things. Our plan is to be here until between January and March- just depending when Dave finds another job.
The week after we moved we went to Bear Lake for a family reunion. That month we had recieved some news about our infertility plan and also being stressed about just moving I was in a terrible mood and didn't want to go anywhere. I am so grateful Dave forced me to go. As soon as we got there after crying the whole way moping about my faithless terrible life I thought I had at the time, I wiped my eyes and walked down by the lake and found this rock. On one side it looks like there is a heart carved in it, the other side looks like a baby carved in it.

You can think what ever you want. But to me I feel like it is a promise that I will be able to some day have a baby and that this is the right path if I choose to have enough faith and do what is asked of me.

A couple weeks ago I reached my 45 pound mark. Yay!!!

I feel SO much better! I havent lost any more. I have started taking some intense hormone medicine and it has seemed to keep me from going further. Now the battle isn't trying to loose any more, it's keeping it off. I am a little nervous for the holidays coming up. I just need to keep having faith in myself and ask the Lord for strength to help me overcome the cravings.

Yesterday was Dave's birthday. We have been celebrating since Friday. We went to Comic con Saturday (where we ran into my cousin, how fun!), Desert Star Playhouse Monday, and last night my mom made his favorite- Chinese food! We love to spoil him. He is a hard working man and deserves it!

I have a new job! I'm nannying for a new family. They live kitty corner to my parents home in the back. They have 2 of the cutest, sweetest girls I have ever met. They are even the same ages as the 2 boys I still nanny a couple times a month. I am so excited to get to know them more. The mom is so sweet and kind too. I love being her friend. I also find it interesting the differences between boys and girls at the same ages.

Oh! Here is a picture of me and my sister at the Utah State Fair last Saturday.

Lastly, I have felt the need to work on my faith in the Lord. So here are a few quotes I have enjoyed lately.

I hope this finds you well!
XOXO,
