Hello all! Sorry our blogging has taken a back seat with all the prep for moving! Cory starts his internship on Wednesday so we left Washington today to take him. We are making a short stop in Boise (THANKS Theresa!!), on to Logan for a few days to check out possible schooling and housing options (and a nice weekend by Bear Lake). After that, we will be in Ephraim on Monday and Tuesday, then Colorado on Wednesday!
Our other excitement is March Madness! This is Cory and Kaylynn's favorite sporting event of all! Sadly, Cory's fav team - Gonzaga bulldogs lost tonight. Kaylynn's fav team - Michigan State pulled out a win!!

Grandma Murray sent me a card and money. Thank you Grandma!
I received these sweet gifts about ten days ago in the mail from Theresa but as I went to open the package, the words in big black ink "DO NOT OPEN UNTIL 3/20" so its been taunting me for days and finally I opened it this morning - I love the rug and the huge tote - thank you Theresa!

12 DAYS!
Whoops, it has been 12 days since our last post! I actually did do a post on my family's blog and was going to do one on here but I guess I got distracted:)
So, life here has been, well, a little crazy..we have all been sick and passed it around and got more sick. Owen scared us - he was coughing and wheezing the first of this week and I took him in on Wednesday and the doctor gave him a steriod shot and gave us a nebulizer for him. Thankfully, I only had to hold him down three times for a treatment!! (He has the same little dinosaur mask his cousin CJ!)
We have also nailed down some moving details...Cory has to be in Colorado on the first and Emily has spring break that week so we are leaving the 27ish for a family trip to take him there and then Kaylynn and kids (and niece to help) drive back to Washington. Two weeks later, Kaylynn's Mom will be here to help pack a moving truck and help drive it down to Utah the third weekend in April. So there you go!
Look for the kids' bday pix soon! If you scroll down to the bottom you will see a fun countdown!!

They moved a bunch too!
So I have felt a little overwhelmed looking at our family's next move (#11 if you count the 4 'waiting for the place to open up layovers at family's homes - which I do because that is almost more stressful trying to pack up a house and leave out two weeks worth of stuff!) especially since Cory has to leave a month before our lease is up and we won't be living together for the next 5 months...
I was praying, or just kinda complaining, to the Lord a little bit (you do that sometimes right?) about the move and then I was asking for gratitude so I would have a better attitude and then I read my scriptures looking for an answer. I was blessed with both an answer and gratitude! I am reading in the Old Testament and "happen to be" Numbers chapter 33 where Moses says the Lord commanded him to write their goings...I thought, 'yep, I have been meaning to write in my journal, that always makes me more grateful. ok, thanks'. But as I read on, Moses lists all the moving they did! He listed 34 places where they "pitched at or encamped in"! Wow. Then he mentions Aaron dying and then they moved 9 more times!!
So...I felt a ton better and wanted to share how I know God hears us, loves us and answers prayers-even when it may sound a little more like complaining!
