Crazy Dayz

First and foremost I want to apologize for being a terrible blogger. Next I want to apologize for any thing else I might be terrible at too. After that I have more breaking news for you.
The Oliver Family is starting a new adventure and leaving an old one behind. Mike and I have made the exciting and heart breaking decision to move to Lehi. After being prompted to be open to a move for our family, we looked at a few houses and put an offer on the one we felt best about. Then thinking we had done our job as listening children of Heavenly Father, gladly went on our way back to life as normal... Only deep down we knew a move was coming and spent many tears and sleepless nights worrying and contiplating how we could make it all work. Especially with our new little one on the way. Pile up a ton of emotional things to happen to the friends of our neighborhood, and sum it up with a little "its my way or the highway and there is no way I'm moving and having a baby all in the same week"...and voilah here we are learning the lesson of living and excepting the Lords will not mine.
So because I am deeply bonded to our house I thought a little closer couldn't hurt and figured I'd blog 10 things I love about our Herriman home.
1. After waiting for a year for the perfect paint I have to say I still love it.
2. Our home is nestled in the middle of a little mountain hug.
3. All of Mikes hard work has paid off and it is so comfortable and beautiful.
4. A comfy place to bring home a little new born pink bundle of Sonia.
5. A breezy summer suite to bring home a little newborn prince James.
6. Still room to grow into.
7. A stable home that Mike has given as a gift of his love for our family.
8. Neighbors who haven't just accepted us, but embraced us and given us the priviledge of knowing them for 6 years.
9. Lazy spring days out in the yard with little feet, runny noses, delphinium, and bleeding hearts.
10. Security, Love, Peace, and growth.

Thanks to my beautiful home.

Okay enough of that.
Baby Oliver is coming in 3 weeks and counting. We are super anxious at trying our hand at a newborn again. What if I am too tired to be a good mom? What if I've forgotten how to swaddle a baby. What if I've forgotten how to nurse, or give her a bath? I know it sounds silly, but I'm so entrenched in 3 and 4 year oldness I'm afraid I've lost the touch, and 3 kids is a lot to keep track of for a scattered brain like me. Especially in an unfamiliar home and neighborhood. I don't even know if our car can fit 3 car seats. Mental note try that one out today. Poor little girl is going to come home to a life that is totally crazy with no hope of improving. But the one thing I know is that Heavenly Father teaches the best lessons in the fire, So bring it on, but slowly and in a controlled manner if that's okay.
Here we go friends its time to hop on this roller coaster and not look back. I'll see you on the other side
