Whirlwind
Where to begin? I feel like my life has been a whirl wind these last few weeks! At this point I feel like I am having an outer body experience. I am sitting here as I watch things go by, people making things happen, watching myself make things happen and everything is just getting taken care of. I am sure all this medication I am on is not helping this illusion. I feel very humbled for all the help and support from family members and friends! We are VERY blessed! Here are all the happenings in these last few weeks, with very few pictures. I am sad to say that my camera was destroyed by a leaky sippy cup of milk. I guess it is not a surprise with the craziness of our life right now. :) Just one of the casualties of this "experience". :) I guess this whirlwind mostly began when Kaven arrived. Not long after was Tim's graduation. Then Mastitis, the start of my medications. Within the week, we decided to move in with Tim's parents for the summer. So we had to fit in all the doctors appointments for me and the kids before we left. The mastitis didn't clear, so more medication, but I got new glasses, clean teeth, and healthy children! My brand new baby doesn't seem so brand new with all these things going on.
Here is a picture I took while we were moving. My dear friend Robyn in on the far right (Notice she is holding my baby to help). They (her and Kevin) helped us load everything into the trailer (with the Elders Quarum) and then then next day spent most the day cleaning my house. There is NO WAY we would have been done in time with everything if it wasn't for them. Thanks so much to them and our other dear friends in Cedar City. It has not been NOT easy moving away from you all.

We had about a day in Delta to somewhat unload some of our things before we left up North to see my mom's side of the family one day and then Traces baby blessing the next. While we were up there we were able to look around for housing in Salt Lake a little bit. If you know of any great places around the University of Utah, let us know. We made it back to Delta exhausted but safely to meet our next challenge of getting my tonsils taken out. The surgery went very well. I actually didn't bleed through it. My doctor said that has only happened one other time for him about twelve years ago. Weird! So now I am all doped up with all kinds of medications. Tim's parents have been so great through it all. I feel so welcome and taken care of in their home. Emery has loved following her grandma around EVERYWHERE and getting motorcycle rides from grandpa.
But needless to say that is not the end of my story. We are now in Logandale with my family. Tim is working for my dad for a little bit to make some extra money while I "float" around (mentally) at my parents house, while my mom takes care of my children and I, while I recover from my surgery. We even spent a night and day in Mesquite so my sister Cami could take a turn taking care of me. Boy am I ever a handful. Thanks Cami, it was so fun to see you and be with you even though I couldn't talk to you very well. For now we are doing great in Logandale with family. Emery has LOVED the puppies here and spending time with Grandma, Grandpa, Erin, Leslie and cousins. Don't look to close at her hair, it has been another casualty in this whirlwind. I haven't stayed on top of it all the time.
Though our life has been a whirlwind I figure all whirlwinds have a center point and everything eventually meets that point. If it wasn't for all of these wonderful people (family and friends) helping us along the way, our life would most likely be a blizzard blowing every which way with no result. One of these days we are going to reach that point in our whirlwind but for now you can stay tuned for our many adventures in the tunnels of wind. :)

You poor thing! I'm glad everything is working out for you guys though and I hope things slow and calm down for you soon. I wish we were closer so we could have helped you, but I'm glad you're surrounded by good peeps that stepped up. :) Good luck with finding a place to live in SL and we hope to see you guys this summer sometime in Delta!
I didn't know you were getting your tonsils out too! What a crazy time!! It was fun seeing you guys up in Utah-even if it was just for a quick evening-I guess that's how things are going for you lately.
I hope all goes well with your healing and adjusting!
Hang in there Dallas!
I'm so glad I got to see you and your family. It was so fun taking care of you and your kids.
These will be times you will remember for the rest of your lives. You will soon be settled in another home and find more great friends along the way. :)
Glad to hear your surgery went well and you are on your way to recovery. We miss you and cute Emery...Kass is very lonely! Hang in there, it'll slow down soon and you'll miss these days.
Oh wow! You are amazing Dallas! Please let me know if I can do anything for you! I can help you find somewhere to live here in Salt Lake, are you looking to buy or rent? Let me know what I can do!
I feel so bad i wasn't around to help you out more. It sounds pretty crazy with all the stuff going on. I'm glad the surgery went well. I miss you guys so much. It's been busy here but i miss you like crazy. Hope to see you soon in delya though. I'm glad that we will always have delta to see each other. Good luck with everything.
