Goodbye Parties!

some of our church friends decided to throw a farewell party for us at church the night before we left. it was hard to say goodbye to everyone. we have lived there for almost 10 years. that's a lot of fun and memories!stacy, briea, me and jenelle posing real quick. i am not sure what jenelle's husband is doing back there ;0)krista giving us a side view of her baby bump. she had her son the exact same time i had kael. so we were pregnant together and used to work out at the Y together during our pregnancy. her son is exactly one month older than kael!
these are just party goers...moana, joan, jean, jamie, melissa, baby hartson and josh!these are my friend jamie's children and my children. we wanted to get a group shot of them together. jamie and i have a history. i met her when i first moved to iowa. she was recently engaged and living in a house with three other girls. well when she moved out, i took her spot in the house and we have been friends ever since. of course we did a silly one too. please excuse Kael's gym shorts and Garran calls them. he had a small accident!

I can imagine how hard it would be to leave after 10 years. I thought leaving a place after 5 years was really hard.

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
