Well life is going forward fast. We moved over the the Christmas break 2nd time this year. Most of our stuff is in storage or packed and stored in my sisters garage. This year started out to be one of the worst holidays since I was a kid that I had ever had. I just felt sad and couldn't get into the Christmas Spirit. I felt really bad for our daughter Sarah, Sarah ended up having a great Christmas anyways. Money has been very tight this year and money is going to get tighter. Doug's job has slowed down to almost a stop. We moved in with my sister and her family, she has four children ,which one is a special needs child. I'm very thankful that she has allowed us to move in with her and to share her home with us. But I still feel trapped and not sure how this is all going to work out. I just had to turned my my whole life over to the Lord and trust in him.
I guess when a person turns their life over to the Lord they better be ready to take the ride. I was call two weeks ago to be the 2nd counselor in our Stakes Relief Society. I have spent a lot of time at a lot of meetings. I need to trust in the Lord and make sure I listen to him so I know how to help these Sisters of Livermore at this time, when life seems to be very bleek for most with the economy the way it is, and I feel hopeless, homeless and moneiless (I don't think that is a word) .
My oldest son Jeremie, Melinda, Eliza, Aislin and Oliver surprised us for Christmas. What a surprise it truely brighted up my Christmas day. This was the greatest surprise I could have received. It was good to see my family. My grand children are so beautiful and a joy to see and be with. They are so delightful. Life has changed a lot I miss those days of when my children were little and at home. I will probably never have that again. I will always cherish those moment. I was told this would happen to me someday and I didn't understand, but I do now. I love my children and even tho I started out a mother as a child myself I always tried to be the best even though I failed, at least I tried. I gave up a lot for my family and because I wanted to and I wouldn't change a thing, other then start my family after I had grown up. I'm thankful I was able to have children and for the children I have.
