It has been a good and yet very rough past month. However I am one that likes to end on a good note.
So I think we have had the roughest year as far as sickness goes. In the last couple months my family has been sick almost every week. We are on the down side to finishing the current sickness we are having right now, which was pretty bad. I guess it just comes with having a husband that works with the public and zaden going to school.
However the hardest part of the past few months has been that Aaron's parents have decided to get a divorce. This isn't something that needs to be announced to the public, but sometimes in life you just need a little extra help to get through life. I can sit here and complain about how mine and Aaron's families are not the best and most conventional families. However, you don't always get the best things given to you and heavenly father gives everyone their different trials. I am not trying to air our dirty laundry, more I just need a place to vent, and get support to know how to help my family get through this hard time. This divorce came rather unexpectedly, we knew there were quit a few problems at thanksgiving and it has just escalated since then. It has been very hard and the scariest part is that worry that because of this the whole family is going to fall apart. I wish I knew how to help Aaron and his family members get through this, but I don't. I have never been through this before. Unfortunatly it is getting to be a pretty ugly divorce, and it is only the start of it. It is hard to sit back and know that there is not much you can do as you see the adversary happily doing his work. Even with all the heartache that our families cause each other there is still a strong degree of love. I hope that through this all that at least Aaron's siblings can stay close together. It is hard to watch as it seems some people are trying to make other choose sides and pushing people out of their lives. But again my one hope is that the desire that his siblings have to unit together stays strong. I am proud of Aaron and how strong he has been. I really feel that Heavenly Father is given him a little more help to be strong for his siblings. And I pray that good things will come out of this, no matter what they are.
Well enough with this sad stuff. We added 2 new boys to our family a couple of weeks ago. Cooper and Brodie and 2 extremely cute Cocker Spaniel pups, that we are very excited to have at our home. Cooper is a little spitfire, and yet we love how playful and full of energy he is. Then there is sweet little calm Brodie. He is the sweetest most pleasing dog I have ever had. He doesn't whine very much unless he needs to go outside, he just seems to be happy with life. I have never had a cocker spaniel before, but I will tell you I have fallen in love with them. And although you might think we were crazing to get two. Now that we had done it I think it is crazy not to get two. Because they have each other they do not whine nearly as much, they seem to be a comfort to each other. They help to keep each other entertained. And since they have each other to wrestle with it makes the role of training and "top dog" a lot easier. Because although you obviously still play with them you don't have to do as much of the rough housing and so they look more to you for what they are suppose to do than as someone that they don't have to listen to. i hope that makes sense.
Well that is how our life has been this last month or so. If anyone has any suggestions i am more than grateful for them. And i will post pictures as soon as my family is feeling well enough to get to the store.
Happy Valentine's day!!!
