I was tagged by Natalie

I was tagged by Natalie so I need to do this before I forget and she gets upset and thinks that I don't care about her. I just met Natalie the last few months and it has only been through blogging. She lives in Italy and I live in Utah so we have never met, but she is one strong, brave woman and she is a lot like me in many things. Thank you Natalie and I am glad that I have met you. She is also pregnant and I am so glad it is her and NOT me!

I was 10 years old and my Grandpa Labrum had a massive heart attack while watching a softball game and passed away. We were just getting out of school and we headed up to Lewiston to attend to the funeral. I remember running around in the church and getting in trouble and I remember crying and falling asleep during the funeral on my mom's shoulder. I also remember that one of the songs was "I Stand All Amazed" and I have a special place in my heart to this day for that song since I was too young to remember a lot this is one thing that I do remember vividly.

I was getting ready to graduate from LDS Business College. I also just started a new job at Salt Lake School District where I met my future husband. I was the only young pretty girl working in a building full of guys. I had a friend tell me that he was worried about me working there because he knew the people that I was working with and he was worried about how they would treat me. I will honestly say that they were the best people that I have ever worked with in my life and some of them even treated me like a sister or daughter and protected me a lot of the time. I will always have a soft place in my heart for those burly guys at the Salt Lake School District shop workers.

I was working at Educators Mutual in the customer service department. We had a home in Saratoga Springs and Lexi was 3 years old. I was preparing to find a new job so that I could stay at home with my little one. I later found a job with Directv and worked from 6 p.m. until midnight and I loved it! I was home during the day and worked in the evenings. I really enjoyed it.

Just moved back in with my parents because of Josh's legal issues. We were getting ready for him to be leaving us also due to his legal issues. I was taking Kayden to see the doc about every other week because we were only 6 months post transplant. I was also taking care of a 6 month old chunky baby.

So far this year I have
Taken care of my kids while my husband was in jail for 6 months. Started working part time. Had a ganglion cyst removed off of my wrist and broke my foot.

Yesterday I...
Fixed dinner, took Lexi to dance, went to work in the morning and finished part of my ABC book for the kids for church.

Today I...
Went to work, got Lexi's pictures taken for dance, bought bobbie pins for dance, and went to OT for my wrist

Tomorrow I will...
Go to Lexi's dance program, Iron Lexi's tutu, finish my ABC books for my kids, do laundry, chase Koy and Kayden.

In the next year I may...
Move, start a new job and who knows what else.

You rock!!! I have been way behind on my reading so sorry it took so long. Sounds like you've had one adventure after another.
Isn't it interesting what things God challenges us with...who's the strong one??? Not me!
