Ya I know

So you are thinking that it has been a ridiculously long time since I posted on my blog but hey what can I say but sorry. Well lets see I've moved out to the middle of no where, Hurricane Utah, and surprisingly I love it! Our apartment is the perfect size for just the two of us and we are planning to stay for a while. Oh also BIG bonus, Doug can come home for lunch and see me. Also Randy has gone on his mission and I've realized how much I really do miss my little brother no matter how much he drove me nuts. I love my older brothers so much also, but I didn't get to spend nearly as much time with them as I did Randy. It's crazy that he is gone but I'm so glad he is at the same time and proud of him for what he is doing. It's all very complicated and I'm not sure I totally understand it. On top of that the only children in our family that lived close are now living in northern Cali. Now the closest child related to me (not counting the little brother in laws) lives in Salt Lake. At least I get to see her soon on her second birthday! Kylie and Jason are only months away from getting married and it seems to have crept up on me. It was still a year to go just a few days ago I swear! Life moves on and at times it's hard to keep track of all the changes.

Anyway it is so pretty out here, we live just beneath the Hurricane hill with the big H on it. Every night I look up and see hundreds of glittering stars, hanging there as a testimony to the existence of God. I sometimes hang my head and wonder at how there were so many years in my life that I ignored the marvel of them above me. So many times have I gone weeks without looking up at night and I wonder how it is that I have survived. In Washington we were lucky to see a handful through the haze of city lights and clouds that constantly covered our view. I have come to realize that my favorite part of living in Utah (not counting my husband) is just how big the sky is. I mean we all know that the sky surrounds the earth and is obviously huge, but when I moved here and I could see it all in it's glory i was awestruck. No impeding hills or mountains, no clouds obscuring or city lights covering. Anyway I challenge anyone who reads this to go outside soon and behold the magnificent manifestation of God, showing us our way through darkness and doubt. He put those stars there to light up the night, so that even if there is no moon we can see pinpricks of light fighting against oppressing black to show us our way.

So despite my spastic rambling and my meaningless chatter things are going great and I'm hoping to keep up with this blog, but next time make it make more sense! =)
