kids meal toys are deadly

We went to Heber yesterday to look at the lots that are for sale. The owners own 12 but are selling 2 for 60,000 a piece to get out of some debt and sitting on the rest until the economy comes back. We could see our friend's house from the lot we were at that was in the same singles ward as us. In fact, he is the one who helped Brian to ask me out on our first date. :) We hung out with them while we were out there yesterday and had a good time visiting. It would be pretty cool to move somewhere and already have a friend. I'm trying not to get my hopes up. The property is already contracted out to someone else, but the owner thinks it will fall through so the real estate agent was just trying to find some back up buyers "just in case".
While we were there we went to Dairy Keen or whatever it's called where the train goes around the ceiling. Cody thought it was pretty cool. The toy that came in his happy meal was a bobble-head dog. He dropped it on the ground and it broke. I think it was made of porcelain. Kinda weird if you ask me, but maybe these small towns haven't discovered ALL the uses of plastic. Or maybe they were hoping the kids with intentionally break them for the sharp edges and have fights to try to widdle down the population, or at least keep it down. hm, I think it's time for me to stop writing now. I hope we get that land!

Heber

Brian has talked a lot about moving to Heber 'someday'. I thought that would be fine since we wouldn't really have to think about it for another 10 years or so. Last night he was looking at property and found 2 lots for super cheap. Then he started talking about how cheap material is right now to build a house and that he could build one in 6 months. He was naming the guys that could do the electrical, plumbing, etc. He looked up our finances and things that show what we spend our money on to see if we would have to change much. Anyway, the thought of moving to another city with a 2 yr old and a newborn freaks me out. A lot. It would take an hour to get to my mom's house. We have a hard enough time seeing each other being only 10 minutes away as it is. Anyhow, I guess we need to do some prayin to figure this out. The property may be sold by the time we make a decision anyway. We were thinking about driving by it this weekend. Wish us luck in figuring out our future!

New Post

I've been sitting here reading others' blogs while Cody stuffs his face with noodles and thought to myself, Maybe I should post something. But I have no idea what. I have been so happy lately. I have everything I've always ever wanted. It's really weird. With Thanksgiving coming up and all I've been thinking about what I'm thankful for. I have a great relationship with my parents, My inlaws, and most importantly my husband. We have the most awesome little boy that hasn't been sick for awhile. We have another one on the way, even if it's a little sooner than scheduled. You know how it goes when you actually try to plan your life though. Heavenly Father has a way of changing things so that you can learn something greater than what you could have gained otherwise. As long as I don't dwell on the things I am afraid of, like where this government is headed and if I just hurt my kids even more by having us all get the swine flu shot, then I'm generally ok. The anxiety stuff that I've always struggled with seems to be getting a little harder lately, but I am continuously working on controlling my thoughts and desperately trying not to let them get carried away.

So anyway, I know this is a boring one, but I don't really have a lot to write. Things are going great. We might move to Heber someday. Brian is working is bahooky off to build our savings account. We'll see where life will take us. I'm excited for it for the most part!
