I needed a fun weekend

A good weekend was precisly what I needed to get out of the slump I was in! Even though Jon has moved on to an "easier" rotation, things are still really stressful for him. He has severl papers to write (I though he was DONE with school!) and did the clinic call all last week. Basically he carried a cell phone around to take all of the after hours calls- so he could never be far from his computer and an internet connection so he can fill prescriptions or look up charts. Granted, it was NICE to have him home a bit more, even if he was still distracted with all he needed to catch up on! I have been feeling the strain of it all, including our REALLY tight finances, sick kids, my grandfather is most likely going to pass away soon, I am having trouble getting pregnant, and just the nature of being home with little ones. I guess this is all supposed to make me stronger, right??? Then I feel guilty for having a hard time becuase so many have to go through SO much harder things. Anyway- I am feeling a lot better - - because of our good weekend, and seeing the real Jon more, and some really fun things to look forward to!

Friday night I had a blast taking Marcus to a birthday party for one of his friends in Sunnyside. Happy 6th birthday Ethan!! He had a really fun BYU Football themed birthday party.





Of course- this was also great for me- because I got to see some of my friends too . . . I miss seeing them on almost a daily basis like I used to. AND- come to find out- they want me to be involved in the big TWILIGHT party they are putting on this week for the opening of the movie. I originally wasn't going to be able to afford to go, and childcare was an issue- so naturally I was super bummed about it. Now I am super excited because they truly do want me there, and helped me get it worked out so I can go. Yipee! That alone has helped my mood a ton! Thanks Natalie, Reagran and Erin!

Saturday my in-laws from Spokane came for a visit- and we had a wonderful time. I am truly blessed to be a part of the Wilson family- I love them so much. It was so wonderful to see them and show them our home! We had fun walking at the aboretum and going out to dinner at Applebees, and just visiting.



Thanks for coming mom and dad! The kids loved seeing Grandma and Grandpa Wilson! AND of course Snickers and Wrinkles . . .
