Dang it is cold.

I have lived in Utah for what 9-10 years with a year and a half break in between that and has it every been this cold for this long of a time? No!!! I am used to it snowing and then the snow melting within the next 2-3 days. But it has been below 40 degrees for awhile now. How frustrating. Maybe I have to actually shovel snow to avoid the ice skating rings around the outside of my house now. Crazy!!! But the snowpack is going to be good this year...so good for the summer activities.

Anyway, life is going well. It has been a little better around the house since N left. It's sad to see him go, but the family dynamic was crazy there for quite awhile. We also gave away our six month old lab Marley...the kids just don't care much about him and we figured he needed a home where he could be trained and given more attention. He reminded me of Hedo when he was a pup.

Overall things are going great. We are doing some family therapy to see if we can continue to grow as a family and clear up some issues we are having. But hopefully the hard work pays off and we can foster again soon and have a baby someday...

Anna starts her new position next week...she'll be working from 2-10am. She seems to be excited for the extra time during the day. Her current job is quite the busy position and seemed to really stress her out when you consider the issues we were having at home with a full time job. I hope this helps relieve her stress. I appreciate her sacrifice right now in working as we are trying to financially set ourselves up after moving into this new house last year.
