I'm not sure if I'm the only one but I'm not a big fan of change. I like things to be consistent and routine. You might say I'm a little boring. It seems lately there has been a lot of change. I'm not complaining - just wanted to point out that for someone who doesn't love changes things are sure different.
Here is a list of things that have changed since the beginning of the year:
New House
New Sheets (our olds ones we used for 6 years and Isaiah used them for 1 before that)
New Towels (they were 8 years old, I'd had them since college)
New car (I'd had it for 5 years and it was starting to go downhill)
New calling (I went from YW to the nursery coordinator (we have 45 kids between 18 months and 3 years!)
New Socks (jk...I'm still using socks I wore I had in highschool about 10 years ago - oddly enough they do not have any holes and are remarkably white :)
With all the changes that I'm adjusting to we're looking forward to adding a baby girl to our family. She's due April 15th and we couldn't be more excited about the change that will bring. We have truly been blessed by the miracle of adoption. More to come on that note once the best change that will ever happen to us arrives. I hope parenthood is as fun as adventurous as we'd always imagined.
Unfortunately it will bring one change that no one likes...diapers :)

Observations
I feel like the morning commute was invented to give people time in their cars to ponder and to observe the world around them. During my drive the last few weeks these things caught my eye...
I think there is an appropriate way to propose to someone, and a way that says I only had $2.88 in my wallet and cups were on sale. I'm pretty sure I would have cried if Isaiah proposed to me with cups on a walkway. I'm hoping that Kelleen said yes and that they name their first child Dixie.
The clarity on this is a little rough but this car has magnetic cut outs of her kids. This might fall into the category of things I think I'll never do when I'm a mom but I will have to eat my words someday. I promise to never put magnetic cut outs of my kids on my car.
On a lighter note here are a few things I love seeing every morning...
This is what I see when I open our garage. The view of the mountains is spectacular. Every morning I sigh and think about what a beautiful place the valley is.

I also get to drive past the new Oquirrh Mountain Temple every day. This temple is beautiful! It's really neat to live so close to a temple. There is a park just around the corner from our house and you can look at the temple while you run laps around the grass field. It's pretty cool.
