I cant believe it has been nearly 3 years since I last blogged. So much has happened, so much has changed. We have officially been in our home for a year last month ! And what a wonderful year it has been ! We have been through so many different experiences since moving into our home, things that at first seemed like a test, but turned out to be a gift and a blessing in disguise. Then our sweet Grace Noelle was born on Valentines day, contracted RSV 5 weeks later and landed us a fancy vacation to the hospital for a week (NOT FUN !). Mitch entered and graduated the Police Academy and went through his field training and is now on his own. He passed every test with flying colors and is definitely top notch at what he does ! We absolutely LOVE our ward, we have met so many wonderful people and have made so many wonderful friends! I even made it through playing the piano in the primary program and didn't make anyone's ears bleed. Grace has simply flourished in every aspect and she is so beautiful ! I couldn't ask for a better life, my trials and frustrations are a spec of dust in comparison to so many others ! I feel so blessed and so fortunate to have received all that we have been given, blessings and trials included. And I know that it has all come from Our Father in Heaven. And Someday I really am going to get around to taking pictures of our home so that everyone can see how cute it is ! It is small, but I love our home so much, there is something about the spirit of this home that I know a part of me will always miss when we move someday, and that is why I named our blog "Love, grows best in little houses". These are the lyrics to a song by Doug Stone that my mom used to always play when we were young and even now. I love that song so much that I put those words on the wall in our living room for everyone to see, for there were never words more true !

Our new Blog!
Hi Everyone, I have decided that it is time for a family Blog !
I cant believe it has been nearly 3 years since I last blogged. So much has happened, so much has changed. We have officially been in our home for a year last month ! And what a wonderful year it has been ! We have been through so many different experiences since moving into our home, things that at first seemed like a test, but turned out to be a gift and a blessing in disguise. Then our sweet Grace Noelle was born on Valentines day, contracted RSV 5 weeks later and landed us a fancy vacation to the hospital for a week (NOT FUN !). Mitch entered and graduated the Police Academy and went through his field training and is now on his own. He passed every test with flying colors and is definitely top notch at what he does ! We absolutely LOVE our ward, we have met so many wonderful people and have made so many wonderful friends! I even made it through playing the piano in the primary program and didn't make anyone's ears bleed. Grace has simply flourished in every aspect and she is so beautiful ! I couldn't ask for a better life, my trials and frustrations are a spec of dust in comparison to so many others ! I feel so blessed and so fortunate to have received all that we have been given, blessings and trials included. And I know that it has all come from Our Father in Heaven.
