Lousy blogger

It has recently come to my attention that I am not the most consistent blogger. I do apologize for my lack of daily entries but do hope that the blog entries that I do make are worth the missing days between. Besides that, my life isn't all that interesting and something blog worthy doesn't happen to me daily. Anyway, I do have a few things that I will write about today.

First of all I am proud to announce that my little girl went potty in her potty all on her own! We were getting ready to dress her after her bath, and were letting her run around naked. Well she went in the bathroom and climbed on her little chair and peed in it without any prompting! And it wasn't just a few little drops, it was a good pee!!! WOO HOO!! I am just praying that the rest of her potty training goes that smoothly. I was finally able to find her some panties that fit. She is just so stinking little! Just now fitting in her 12 month clothes, but we were able to get the 2t-3t panties and although they are baggy they don't fall off. And that is what really counts.

Second of all I just want to make a big WOO HOO for the fact that a Kohl's just opened up in the city right next to ours. It is only a 15-20 minute drive, and I am over there once or twice weekly. I am sooo excited to finally have somewhere else to shop for clothes. It looks like my husband is going to have to keep me out of there, because all the little girl and baby clothes are soooo cute!

Third is about my last weekend. I went to my church's annual women's spiritual retreat. We had a wonderful speaker named Lee Ezell. She has such an inspiring story. You can read about her on her website. It is really worth looking at. If you click on the tab "about Lee" it will show her amazing story. If you have the time, check it out.

I did hit a few bumps at first with having Natalie there. One of the leaders was being really unreasonable (in my opinion) and didn't even want to let me sit in the hallway with her. So, each of the four of us who came with my church were going to sit out one session with her. My mom sat out the first session, then my best friend was going to sit out the second but decided she was just going to sit in the hall and listen from there. I ended up taking her place since Nat got hungry. Then they let me keep her with me, which I don't know why they couldn't in the beginning. She was really good and only cried twice, and I took her into the hallway so fast that most of the other ladies didn't even know I had a baby with me! I will be posting some pics soon of Smith Canyon. My best friend went on a hike while we were there, and that is where they went. She was kind enough to take a couple pics for me to share.

I have one final piece of news. My pastors at church are moving. Both him and her are having some pretty severe health problems. She has fibromilaga (I know that is spelled wrong, but you get the idea right?) and he has some kind of degenerative disc problem, and the church is just too much stress for the both of them. I just request that if you think about it, pray for the new pastors they will send us. We are members of The Salvation Army and they just send out new pastors for us, so no worries that we will be pastor-less...

Anyway, that is all for today. I hope the longer entry makes up for the lack of lately. Have a good day! And even though it is pouring outside here, try and think on the bright side at least the grass is green!!
