I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Quick fill...

So,
again I haven't blogged in a long time.
As you may know,
Anthony graduates on May 8th.
We are super stressed.
On top of that,
we finally made the decision to move.
This is where most of my stress is coming from.
In the middle of moving week,
we just found out,
Anthony's youngest brother BJ is getting married!
We are way excited for them but it makes it a REALLY bad time to be moving.

Here's my last week of May in a nut shell...
We have to have our whole house packed and into the garage by Wednesday the 26th.
(not to mention, our bags for st. george)
On Thursday the 27th Ashlynn has her kindergarten program that we really want her to be able to go to,
so after that is over, we are headed down to St. George.
Friday the 28th I have to go take my placement test @ Dixie College and also get the Utilities in our name: effective June 1st.
Saturday the 29th is BJ and SaDee's wedding and reception.
Sunday the 30th it's back up to Logan with my sister's (Joy, thank you.) trailer,
so we can load it up with our stuff.
Monday the 31st (memorial day) we have to have EVERYTHING out of the house so we can clean it, have a walk through with our manager Carma, (note to self: find out if Carma will be able to do a walk through on a holiday.) and head back down to St. George.
Tuesday June 1st we have lease papers to sign,
are supposed to move in,
and I am supposed to start school.

When do I buy books?...

WHEN DO I BREATHE???

So, I am apologizing ahead of time for not finding the time to blog.
I think you'll forgive me...

Just breathe. You'll get through. Come June 10th, you'll be like "why did I STRESS so much. It wasn't that BAD!" okay, so it'll suck through the time being, but you can do it.

Don't worry that we're MOVING on Friday, and I've packed like 5 boxes only. YIKES! Wish me luck!
