Catching up with my blog before I leave to Utah for 5 weeks is my goal. It's 11:00 and I'm tired, so it won't be tonight. But it will be soon. So stay tuned.
It's been a really rough month. A new friend of mine (had just been here for 2 1/2 weeks) whose husband has come here to start residency got an infection that overtook her body. It's been a week now and she has almost died 6 times, but she is still surviving and currently in a coma. Her story has occupied my mind. She has 3 kids: 6, 3, and 11 weeks old. I pray for her several times a day and have hope and optimism that she will be fully healed by the Lord. Life is so fragile and it's made me think more than once about if I'm living my life up to Heavenly Father's expectations.
I had 2 great friends move. I've decided that it's harder on the people you leave behind than the people who actually do the moving (they may disagree), but it's left my heart a little tender. I don't like saying goodbye.
Ryan has been working a lot. I hate feeling like I'm raising the kids alone. And I of course miss him so much. I appreciate my friends putting up with me and helping me when they spend time with me. My sweet friend Carol does so much for me. Her kids babysit my kids a few times a week so that we can go exercise. Tonight we rode up Sabino Canyon. And although it was super hard, it was extremely rewarding. It seems like exercise is always like that.
I am very much looking forward to going to Utah for the next 5 weeks. I think it's going to go by very fast. I'm so sad that Ryan can't come. I don't want to leave him. I wish that he could spend at least a week with us. But, I know he will be busy so hopefully time will fly for him as well.
The kids are doing great. Naters is pulling himself up everywhere and yesterday balanced himself for like 1 second. Ha! He is going to be a lot more daring that Josh is. Josh didn't even try to let go until like 14 months. They play well together most of the time. Unless Josh decides to put blankets on him to make him cry. And why does Josh smile when he can make Nate cry? I just don't understand this sibling bully thing. I strive very hard to encourage them be friends. Hopefully it will pay off.
I can't wait to see all of you that will be in Utah! :)

It's just as hard on me, trust me.
