Opps

So, the blog has taken a bit of backseat lately, sorry. Life has been thrown full force at us and I am still trying to catch up. I told myself I would update once I could see the coffee table and loveseat again. I found them today and so here is the update.

I just got back from girls camp. What an adventure! I was the assistant camp director for our ward but the camp director quit a few days before camp and I was called on to step up. So I threw together girls camp in 48 hrs. I had the few projects I had been working on but otherwise It was a last minute event. I said a lot of prayers, got very little sleep and prayed some more. At the end of camp we had a testimony meeting as a stake and as a ward. I only had 7 girls and 3 of those got up and talked about how this was the most spiritual girls camp they had ever had and how much they grew and learned. The other 4 cried about how much their testimonies needed the boost they got at girls camp in our ward testimony meeting. I cried about how the Lord can work miracles if you just let him and how prayers make all the difference. And then, about how unfair it is to give someone a camp calling and then ask them to not fall in love with those girls and go about their business without thinking about them everyday. It is one of my favorite callings and the hardest too. Right up there with teaching gospel doctrine.

I have been on a bit of a health rollercoaster lately. I have been diagnosed with insulin resistance as a part of my PCOS. My PCOS has been so much worse in the last 8 months or so. So I have been on and off all kinds of meds to try to get myself back to normal. I have struggled a great deal with my blood sugars and finding the right dose of meds and diet. As a part of this, I have infertility issues. We have struggled and cried and prayed more than I thought was possible. We can start fertility treatments next month and we hope that with in the next year we will be able to share with everyone that a new baby will be joining our family.

We are also looking to buy a house. Seems so grown up of us. But it has been an adventure.

Jared and I love each other more now than we did 8 months ago when we got married. He still surprises me with flowers or treats and I still leave him messages in his lunch. We are happy and loving being a family.

So, that is the update. The news from our little neck of the woods.
