Just Livin The Dream!

Two weeks ago at Brooklyn's game I was talking to a friend. She said that when people ask her how's life? Or how's it going? She just says back to them "I'm just livin the dream... " I thought about that phrase and decided that I myself am "Just livin the dream!" I guess I didn't realize what my life would be like at age 41 but I must say its pretty good! Although I rarely have time for myself, hardly blog, I am constantly sleep deprived and haven't scrap booked in about a year! My life is full and I am grateful for my many blessings!!! So lately this is what my livin the dream life has been like:

Brooklyn has joined a new select soccer team and has enjoyed her new coach, teammates and the challenge.


We went to several Union High School football games. Morgan performed at three of them and Brinley and Maddie both performed during the half time show in conjunction with Morgans Dance Team.

Over Labor Day weekend Jon & I found in scoring deal on a car. We flew to Phoneix Arizona to purchase the car. We also were able to see my parents and my sister Monique and her family at my Aunt and Uncle's 50th wedding anniversary party. It was fun to see so many cousins and their families that I haven't seen in almost 10 years. We then took the next two days to drive this lovey automobile home!!
We got a third car for Morgan to use when she gets her license! It has been soo fun to drive around! So fun that I got a speeding ticket in it on the way to Brooklyn's soccer game! I rarely drive my suburban anymore! Only to church and one of my carpools! All the kids and their friends want to always ride in "Lady". That's her name! It gets great gas mileage and its much easier to park!

The biggest thing that I have been doing in my life lately is YW! On September 25 I was called to be YW president in my ward. In order for me to be YW president Jon had to be released as a counselor in our Bishopric. He has been serving in big callings and serving somehow with the Youth in our church for over 13 years!!! It has been a big change for all of us. I now have to go to meetings instead of him all the time! My mind in constantly thinking about the YW in our ward or planning some activity in my head! I have had 2-3 hour presidency meetings each week since I have been called and I have already had to put on our YW in Excellence program! It's non stop busy until February. We have a YW overnight retreat, combined Christmas dinner, priest/laurel activity, New Beginnings, and much more! It is very busy but so fun and rewarding!

It's been a crazy fall and will be even more busy with the holidays approaching! Yikes and I have to host Thanksgiving!! I keep telling myself "Just Livin the Dream!!"
