Wow has it really been this long???






Sorry I am such a slacker but I am way better at facebook. James has moved to Georgia for the summer doing summer alarm sales for Platinum. Alexis and I are still here in Utah and she just turned one. My mom had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in her kidney and to remove a cyst (thank goodness that's all it was) roughly the size of a softball along with all her female organs. All of that the week after James left. No fun for me...let's just say I was feeling a little overwhelmed. Now though the doctors are confident they removed all the cancer so my mom is home recovering from the surgery and has a check up in a month and then every three monthes after that for a year to be sure. James is doing pretty well down in Georgia and we are excited to be debt free at the end of this summer!!! YEA!!! James is getting very lonely with out us and we are doing suprisingly well considering James was the confident one that we would be fine for the summer and I was dreading his leaving. He asks me every day when I'm coming out there and I love being missed. Being a part from my husband has made me appreciate a lot about him that I think I was taking for granted and it has opened up doors in our relationship for us to explore that I don't think could've been opened without a seperation of longer than a week. I have enjoyed discovering things about myself and James that hadn't been brought up before now. I do miss him so much though and so does Alexis. It's not easy being a temporary single mom and taking care of someone else's kids on top of that. Alexis and I will be going out to join him soon and I look forward to the oppurtunity of living outside the Provo bubble. Maybe there I'll be better at writing here.
Our two year wedding anniversary was in March and we went hiking down at Arches National Park. It was a blast!! We had a ton of good times and there are a ton of pics on facebook should you care to look. We also went on a family vacation to my granda's house in California. It was awesome and much needed. again I tell you I'm way better at updating facebook but even then that's not to hard to do compared to this. :)
