Better.

I was getting some feedback about my posts. Don't get me wrong... I love where I am living and I know it is for the better for my family, but come on! Things aren't always smooth. There are ups and downs in life and I am not going to hide them. Life isn't always a picnic. I'm not afraid to hide these feelings.

This past week has been better. Alden and I went to the library and got some new books. We have gone to Chico, CA a few times (30 minutes away) to do some shopping and trying new restaurants. We were recently introduced to In N Out Burger. It is a west coast restaurant that everyone raves about. It was good. Nothing I would be running right back for, because lets face it... It's fast food.

I have taken up crocheting. I have made a baby blanket for Alden and 2 dish cloths. This has helped me with the transition. I have a feeling this is going to open up more doors of crafting. They have a arts and crafts show here every year so I thought maybe I can start making some things and sell them in a show. We shall see. This is more than a year away and you don't know what will happen between now and then.

Lyndon and I have decided to start a youth group on Wednesday nights in our house. The church already has some amazing youth leaders that do Sunday School each week, but we thought since we have an amazing location where our house is, literally across the street from the high school on the main road in town, we will have an easy spot for youth group. We have a nice big yard and a huge living room/dining room area. I'm planning on making a meal for them each week, since I was raised to feed people. That's what you do when people come to your house... EAT! Other than that, I'm not sure the plan for it. I was told this is going to start in October....

We are also Potty Training Alden. Oh Joy! We are in the middle of day 1 as I write this and we have wet 2 times in our underwear, pooped in our pants and have not yet done ANYTHING in the toilet. Yay for potty training....

This is a really random post, but this is what is going on in our lives right now. I am going to try to write something everyday about what is going on, but you know how it goes with little ones in the house.
