Life has been a little more busy around here lately. I planned a trip to Utah (just Reagan and I) the second week in December so it was just her and I for about 10 days...wonderful! Kurt drove the rest of the family down for Christmas at my mom and dad's. It was, as always, so fun to see all my family and Kurt's sister plus the bonus of getting to see my best friend growing up Laura, and our good friends Steve and Ginger. We haven't seen the Snyders in a few years and they were our surrogate family when we lived in Port Orchard. I love family and friends that are like family--it always feels like you just left off talking with them even if you haven't seen each other in a long time. After I got home it was back to catching the bus, nap times, PTA, YMCA, playdates, laundry, Primary chorister, and all the other things we mom's do...
Kurt's dental school schedule wasn't busy enough so he thought he'd tack on a bit more when he was called as bishop of our ward. That happened back at the end of October. He also decided to really get serious about exercise the beginning of the year, so he's been really busy. The nice thing for me is most of the time he works out in the morning--sometimes 5am--so it doesn't effect my life as much as the bishop hours do. Some days I can tell it's a lot on his shoulders but most days we both feel like life is really good. I know the Lord is lifting our burdens to feel light. And I'm glad we've made a habit of Friday being date night so I always know we'll have that time just for us.
So now we are facing Kurt's graduation. Which means we are looking everywhere for a job. Ideally we could find an associateship around here and he could work for a few years and then find a practice to buy, but we'll see. There aren't very many associate jobs in this economy so we're looking and praying and I'm sure we'll find something soon.
Oh yeah and right now I'm training for a half marathon and it's nuts! Running is hard! My half marathon is first of May so we'll see if I can do it.
So that is an update on Kurt and I...I'll have to update on my kids another time since this is already way too long for a blog update.

How exciting that Kurt will be graduating soon!
Good luck on your half-marathon! You can do it! :)
Yay for Kurt graduating! I'm so excited for you to do a half marathon! You can do it and you're going to do great! I had a friend tell me before i did mine that however fast I finished I would be disappointed with my time, but i figured just finishing was a good job and I was so happy to cross that finish line! Can't wait to hear how it goes!! Happy training!
GO RUN!!!!!
You'll do amazing, enjoy the journey :-)
great update! congrats, good luck, ha ha ha (referring to bishop kurt).
Which half marathon are you training for? have fun!
your kids are beautiful!
Stop it! Kurt's the Bishop? That's awesome. I knew it was bound to happen someday. You guys are great. And it takes a great wife for someone to be a bishop. Crazy that he's still in school though. Busy, busy, busy. Anyway, I ran a marathon and then a half marathon this past year. It's awesome! I really enjoyed the half marathon much more than the full one. You'll be awesome. Let me know if you need any tips. Hopefully you are training with someone. That's the hardest part. You'll have so much adrenaline on race day that it will hardly phase you.
BTW, I accidentally called our old roommate Annie the other day. Her phone number is programmed into my cell phone and I thought I was calling my neighbor Annie. I couldn't talk, but it was fun to hear her voice. Maybe I will accidentally call you one of these days. :) Miss you!
That is so exciting that you are training for a half-marathon! I wish we lived closer to you guys so I could train with you and we could run it together. Good luck!
I was glad to hear he wasn't President Leavitt. ha ha. Todd's still "unemployed" and I love it!! And the whole working out thing coupled with being bishop is a bit much, huh? Sometimes I wish I didn't have to support him in that too, but then again I don't want a chubby hubby so I do it.
I'm glad to hear things are going well. I knew the Lord would make it work for you.
You are too busy. I love the picture of the kids...especially Myia's face.
