Lately I have kind of felt like I have been stuck in neutral. Do you ever feel that way?
Brock is at that horrible toddler stage where he is constantly
shrieking and hitting. He wears me out BIG time.
Kylee is a 20 year old stuck in a 4 year old body. She is so full of life and
has so much energy, I can't keep up most days.
We just moved to Phoenix for the next year or two until I am done
with school. We are staying in a tiny 2 bedroom apartment, which
I actually happen to love. If you know me, you know that
my mind is constantly spitting out horrible idea's.
Hi, my name is Adria and I am paranoid.
I check every window before I go to bed, more than once. I wake up in the middle
of the night when I hear a noise and check on my kids and then check
all the windows and doors again. Am I OCD? Anyway, being
in this small apartment has really cut my nightly ritual in half. I only
have 3 windows to check! Nice right? I sleep like a baby every
single night. I always thought moving to Phoenix would be so
scary because everything bad happens in Phoenix....most of the time:)
We went to our new ward today. Mark and I have never stayed in a ward longer
than 2 years. That's about how long it takes me to get comfortable and really
feel like I have friends. I was really nervous about going, to be honest
I am kinda shy...until you get to know me. To my surprise, I really liked it.
There were a lot of young couples that seemed really nice. A lot of people
introduced themselves to us, which is really nice and really helps
with moving and starting all over. Most importantly I went to RS today.
I can't even remember the last time I went! I have pretty much been
in Nursery since Mark and I got married. I am keeping my fingers crossed
that this ward gives me a break and just lets me get my spiritual fill
by just sitting and listening. Brock stayed in Nursery today by himself! What? It
was the craziest thing. I heard him crying so I went to trade off with Mark.
I sat in there for about 1o minutes and then told him I was leaving.
He looked at me, gave me a kiss, and said, "See ya mom".
Kylee had her first Sunday in Primary today. I can't believe how grown up my
kids are. She proudly flashed her new CTR ring that she got from class.
Not sure what the point of this post is. Just wanted to write. I know it's all
over the place but it feels good some times to just write down
how you feel. Hope everyone is doing good:) xoxo

Its such a relief to know that I'm not the only one that stays up half the night worrying about every little noise! Can't wait for a our girls party!
Me too!! I check the windows, doors and kids SO many times, it's a wonder I ever get any sleep!! For my birthday I want a bodyguard...
where in Phoenix? what ward? Oh how I miss phoenix. We could have just traded houses!
I'm totally the same way. I wake up to check on smith like, a bazillion times a night. And every time he naps. I have to pray every night that I will have faith and not fear. and to please bless that Smith will keep breathing.
are you THAT bad?
We need to come visit you guys soon. We're so conflicted about whether or not to buy in Phoenix. Say hi to Bish Bruce for me. :)
How did you steal my thoughts like this!? seriously. I think I'm just going to start copying and pasting your posts cause they couldn't be more ME. My goodness. I love you.
We had to of gotten some of the door locking/window checking from our family don't ya think?? Because I do it too:)but I don't think as much as you sister dear! Glad you guys are getting settled and situated. It's strange having you so far! We both have been moving quite a bunch the past couple years....awwwwww!! Ohhhhh to be settled in a permanent place would be a dream:)
That is what blogs are for. Loves!
I love you! You crack me up. Are you guys on the bottom floor of your apartment? no use checking the windows if you are on a higher floor (unless you have a shelf outside the window! like in that youtube video).. HA ha! Miss you! love reading your ramble
