5years and how our family has changed.

             Can you believe it has been almost 5years since my last Blog? A lot has changed in that time. Here are a few of what has changed:
1. Scout finished school.
2.I started my own buisness
3. My mom died
4. My dad got remarried
5. I became a Caregiver
6. My son got baptized
             Scout finishing school was so amazing. we had been working on it for a long time and we were ready to move on from the poor student life. He graduated with a degree in Heavy Diesel Mechanics and loves it. He is so good with his hands we knew that something like that was a amazing fit for him and his career. He was working at some ski resorts but after some health issues he has changed to maintenance. So he now dose mall maintenance in Salt Lake City and he really enjoys the people he works with and the job. 
              Me starting a business was the last thing I had in mind. I have always wanted to work from  home but did not think it would be running my own business. I am a independent Younique makeup Consultant. Can I just tell you that I love it so much. It is a amazing job. I initionally signed up for the discount on the makeup but then decided that it would be a awesome work opportunity. So as of 6months ago I dived in and got to work. It is a slow process with all the other things I have on my plate but I am loving it. 
               Maybe the biggest thing that has changed is I no longer have my mother on this earth with me. It is so hard for me to talk about but I know I need to. She had Cancer and then went into remission and then turned around not even three years later and it came back. It was so bad the second time around that it was in her bones. I miss her so very much and it is so hard to describe how hard it is to live without your mom. But I am so grateful for the time I did have with her and the love that she had for me. 
                   Then about 6months after my mom died my dad remarried. That was a shock to us because we  had not been without mom that long. But the Lady he married is amazing and she is so kind and you can tell she really loves my dad and my dad loves her. I am happy for the two of them. Even though it was sooner than I was ready for it dose not take away the fact that she is a amazing person and a wonderful addition to  our forever family. 
                    Becoming a caregiver has been a huge change in my life. I am now in charge of taking care of and making medical decisions for my Grandma(my moms mom). She is a amazing woman and I love having her live with me and get to know my son. I am so happy and honored that she choose me to take care of her for however long she has in this life left. She brings and peace to my house and such a awesome spirit into our life. 
                      Cody is now 8years old. Can you believe that? I am still in shock. He got baptized last month and he is such a wonderfully happy boy right now. He is such a spiritual warrior and I try my best to be a amazing mom so he keeps that about him. He is now in 2nd grade and loves science and math. he is so smart and loves all people that he comes in contact with. 
                        As you can see our life has changes but the love that we have has not lessened at all over the years. I love my little family and very excited to give you a peak into our life in the future.
