Life changes

By
I've been at my new job for about a month now. It's a big leap from what I was doing but it's exactly the opportunity I was looking for. I'm so happy my new boss, Nancy, took a leap of faith and hired me. She said she could just tell how bad I wanted it. I did. I wanted it REAL bad.

While I'm SUPER excited about my new position there is some bad news. My commute is an hour long, my office has no windows and I work 9-5:30 so this time of year I get home after dark. I basically get home in time to put Eisley to bed.

It's an adjustment for everyone. The good news is you girls are finally starting to love your dad. Now that you spend regular time with him it turns out he's not such a bad guy! Some day he's going to read this and say "You didn't have to put that in there!" but it's true. You girls have been nothin but mean to him but lately you're loving your daddy time. I love when you love him!

In other news Eisley is talking a lot. She copies everything everyone else says which is just so cute. Down to the "Go Suns!" whenever the game is on.

Kaybree has taken up story telling. It's always interesting to me to try and decipher where the story is coming from. Sometimes it's about something that happened months ago. Sometimes it happened on TV. Most of the time it makes no sense at all. But I love that you're finally voicing what you're thinking.

I am constantly struck by how beautiful you two are and how much I love you. Kaybree, you are the precious little blonde princess I always imagined having. You're so sweet and innocent and funny.
Eisley, you are the best friend everyone needs. You're constantly entertaining, your smile is full of mischief and you give the very best hugs and kisses. I love you so much!

So different

By
The older you get the more your different personalities are coming out. It's so fun! Kaybree has always wanted to be just like all the big girls she sees. You want to do what everyone else does and you fit right in! You go with the flow very well but you do your best to lead--while following. I know that doesn't make a ton of sense but basically you're the leader of the crowd. You follow everyone else but you don't let anyone step on you. You know you're the cutest thing around and you flaunt it a little bit. You pretend to be shy (because that's the cool thing to do) but you're excited to tell everyone all about your boo boos or the puppies you saw at the mall or anything else going on in your life. This week you started preschool and you were so excited. As soon as we got there you followed Teagan right inside, waving and calling goodbye to me as you went. No hesitation. You know what to do and you do it. You're attending Montessori House in Lehi f...

My biggest challenge

By
I’m a writer by trade. I’ve always wanted to be a writer. I love to put my feelings into words. Yet, in the last month, I’ve been having a very difficult time vocalizing what’s happening in my life. It’s not because it’s been sad or difficult or anything like that. It’s mostly because there is someone new in my life who I care very deeply for who I feel this deep need to protect. I want to protect his identity, his story, his life. I don’t want to overstep any boundaries or crush any trust. I recognize the life he has lived has not been easy and so I tread lightly on this relationship we’ve built. But honestly—it’s a fantastic relationship. He’s an amazing kid. I’ve been asked to write a blog post for an organization that helps recruit foster parents about the first few weeks of being a foster parent. I’m having difficulty deciding what to write. I feel like anything I write about my case probably won’t apply to their case so it’s not very helpful. I keep writing drafts and then...

Careers

"So I've got a friend, who I met at Frys. He's an older guy. He's got a car he wants to give me and soon he's starting a business so when I'm 18 and a half or 19 I think I'm going to move out and move in with him and work for him." "Doing what?" "I don't really know but he's going to have this business." "OK. Well, good luck with that. Get it in writing and get a title for the car." I walked away just shaking my head. Silently I thought "At least he didn't tell me he's going to become a rapper. He might as well though... A couple hours later I talked with him again. "OK, so I've been texting him and finding out more about this job." "OK." "So he's going to be a rapper. And he says we'll find something for me to do, something I'm good at. Something that will make me $1,000 a day and I can probably start doing it from home--maybe finding new beats online....
