Where has time gone?

It seems as each passing day, week, and month go by, that it goes by even quicker then before. I don't know where time goes, but I feel as though I have so much going on that I don't have much time to stop and think about all of the wonderful things that fill my life. Sometimes I wish I could just stop time for just a moment and enjoy it longer then real time allows.

September and October flew by.... We had my grandma's funeral and things just continued to get crazy. I am fully recovered from knee surgery and now am doing the TOSH accelerated program which I love just as much as the first two times I did it. The trainers there are Awesome! Then I went in for gallbladder surgery. Yup, 4 more lovely scars on my body. The surgery was a lot more intense then I planned on it being. I hate pain meds and the first night home from surgery, I thought I would try to tough it out and go off of 800 ibu. Not such a great idea...I woke up in tears and it took all day to get the surgery under control. But a week later I started finally feeling better and now am doing great:)

Nick is still down at Lake Powell working. Rex is still there keeping him company. Oh I miss them both! Nick and his sweet smile and goofy personality. Rex and his hyper self and loving kisses...I was hoping to make it down one more time before Thanksgiving, but I don't know if there is a weekend that will allow it....that is if I want my mom to go with. Since I really don't want to drive down there alone, if anyone is willing to volunteer to take a short trip away, let me know:) it could be fun!My Grandma Masons funeral was really nice. I was able to speak as I believe I mentioned in an earlier post. I was very honored to speak about the wonderful grandmother she was. As well as honored to speak with Elder Dallin H. Oaks. What a GREAT picture captured by my sister-in-law, Tiffany. Such a tender touch between Great Grandpa and sweet little Danny.I am so grateful for my family and the close bond we hold. At least the 9 of us that support one another (Mom, Dad, Tyler & his family, Grandpa, and Me) I have watched my dad deal with his two crazy sisters and I know that he is in tune to the spirit. I have seen his testimony and willingness to become the patriarch of this family. It has been a long road of attorneys and cops ever since my grandma passed away. But my dad has handled it very well and I am very proud of him!Silly Aspen! she is so stinkin' cute!!!

I had the chance to go see my good old friend, Daisy. She was my very first dog and I do miss her terribly. My uncle has her now and though she seemed herself, just wanted to chill next to me and have her belly rubbed, she doesn't look the same. She is as fat as a pig and possibly has cancer bc of the spots all over her head and face. Poor baby. I love her!GO longhorns! I brought both Aspen and Danny back longhorn outfits when I went to Texas...we happened to be where them on the same day! Hook 'em horns....too bad they're not playing so hot...We celebrated my Grandpa Mason's 78th birthday! We went up to Tiffany's family cabin in sundance and ate a delicious dinner and played games. What great times!It was really cool to have both grandparents up there; the 2 that I have left. I had all four until just recently....how quickly things really do change. How quickly time does go by. This was one of those moments I wanted to freeze time and just enjoy it. But since the clock just keeps ticking, I enjoyed it the best that I could. The laughter, the stories, the beautiful day it was outside, just being together with family.

So....I am now in the spare bedroom, technically until the basement gets done. Which at this rate could be forever away:( I am so cramped and I have no room. A lot of my stuff is boxed including my coats! AHHH! I told my mom NOT to pack those and she did and now it is going to be freezing cold monday...snow....not ready for that.

I received an American Girl Magazine in the mail. I haven't received one in a long time. As I was flipping through it, I realized that they are retiring Felicity. Well I have always wanted the 5 Original dolls, Kirsten, Samantha, Addy, Felicity, and Molly. I got online, ordered her and I felt like a little girl again. I was so excited when she came....along with the two other outfits I ordered. I know, call me crazy. But now I just need Molly and I will have my 5 completed!

Well, this is what I have been up to. All of this plus working at CTMH, coaching, and school. Now I am fully recovered from both surgeries, things are going well. No boys at the time, but I am learning patience and when that day comes...well, it just might be the happiest day of my life:)

Enjoy every passing moment and all of the wonderful things that happen every single second. For life isn't about the breaths we take, but about the moments that take our breath away!

Enjoy Life!
