Our Crazy Life

Okay, so obviously I am not very good at being consistend with blogging. Here I am again trying to get some of our life put down into words :D

Well It is a new year and so much has happened already. January 11th Brandon had surgery where they removed his galbladder. It was a painful process of recovery, but he is doing much better since it has been removed, and has gotten sick less. Yay! He also switched truck driving school, and officially earned his certificiate from Sage Trucking March 23rd. I did a great job and neded up landing a job with Pride Transport starting March 28th. He has been in training since then and has one more month of traning to go. He is doing a wonderful job, his trainer has had many compliments about Brandon's ability to drive the truck, he says "Brandon is a natural".  It is hard not having him home all the time like before, but it is for the better, and so wonderful to have him working again. I am so proud of him and all that he has accomplished. He is a wonderful husband, companion, and friend I love the moments we share together. I think that through this whole experience of him being a truck driver and being gone, it has brought us closer together then we ever have been. I look forward to when I get to accompany him on the truck on occasions to see what its like, and enjoy time with him on the truck.

I have been busy working, and that is really about it. Work has become a bit different since there have been many changes in the way that transportation is offered my job has changed a lot. I do the payroll, help with billing, and many other tasks in the office. I still enjoy my job, and I really enjoy the people I work with, but at the same time I feel like I am needing some change. There aren't any challenges to meet anymore it has become rather... boring I guess you could say. But it is a job and I will stick with it, I know that we are blessed to have two jobs right now, and a job of any kind (boring or not) is a wonderful blessing in this economy.

You know... I have been thinking and I have realized that even when we are going through trials we truly are blessed. It us difficult to see blessings at the time of a trial, but blessings are always being bestowed upon us because we have a loving Heavenly Father. I came to this realization after my second miscarraige which I had about 1 1/2-2 months ago. Yes I would have absolutely loved to hold that little baby in my arms, and have those crazy feelings that mothers go through when they are pregnant, but it just wasn't ment to be just yet. I could have pitty on myself and say oh wo is me, but I can't, I know that there is a better plan for me at this time, and the Lord is molding me into the person he needs me to be. There are changes to come in our future, and maybe having a baby while they are going on is not the best for myself, a baby, or Brandon. Don't get me wrong I look forward to the day when I can be a mother, but you know... that day will come, and it will be when the Lord knows that everything will be okay, I can trust and confide in him to know when that day will be. We are looking forward to moving to Utah closer to Brandons "base" for work so I can see him more. In time he will be able to work in the offices there and be home every night. So maybe things will work out so that he can be home more during the time that we are raising children. Looking back at trials I realize that it is so true what the poem "Footprints" says. During the times that we struggled the most there was only one set of footprints, but it was not our own, they were the Lords. He lifts us up and helps us to be better, and happier in life if we will just trust in him.

Well, I am not sure what else to say, I just felt like expressing myself today, and I thank all my family and friends who support Brandon and I in all we have been able to do in our lives. We have only been married for a short time still and we look forward to an eternity together. I know that happiness comes through the eye of the beholder, and even in these troubling times, happiness can be found. It is found in the smallest of things it may be a ray of sunshine, a smile, the touch of a loved one, a flower blossoming, the warmth of a fire, the touch of a rain drop. Wherever we look we are able to see something to smile about. Enjoy life my friends, that is why we are here, is to enjoy it through all that may come our way.
