Breathtaking

I have been working a ton lately. Some days, I go to work at 8:30 in the morning and don't get home until 11:30 at night. I love my job but I wish that I wasn't away from my family so much. Working this much creates a lot of stress.

On top of that, Joseph and I got thrown a big curve ball last week. There is always curve balls in life and some you can see coming a little in advance. The one we got last week, I NEVER would have seen coming in a million years.

Between work and our "curve ball", it created the perfect situation for Joseph and I to need a break. So we went camping with family to Horsethief Reservoir. On the day that we were to leave, we took a hike and was able to see some amazing scenery.

It really made me stop and realize that no matter what happens, God is good and He is over all. If we put our trust in Him, we can take on anything and it will be for our good.......eventually.

I am so thankful for my faith in God and for the peace I received this weekend. I am also so thankful for this beautiful, amazing world we have to live in and for the privilege of enjoying it......

Camping at Horsethief Reservoir

For the holiday weekend, Joseph's cousin, Jared, and his two boys came to town to visit. We, along with Joseph's brother and his family decided to head up to Horsethief Reservoir and do some camping. In total - there were 6 adults and 7 kids age 5 and under.

It was a lot of fun but the nights were very cold!! Thankfully, we brought lots of blankets to help keep us warm. The kids all had a blast but by the end of the trip they were exhausted and in desperate need of a bath!

The funniest thing while we were camping was Little Miss Loo. She loves to run around with the older kids and be just like them. Her cousin, Jacob, just became potty trained and loved peeing in the trees. Lexi was absolutely fascinated by this and thought that if the boys can do it, so can she!

Don't anybody tell her that because she's a girl, she can't do it!
