It's a New Year

So much has happened this past year I don't know where to begin. All I can say is that so far 2012 has been good and we have a lot going on. So much so that I will make the officially announcement here.

We are moving.

To Helper.

And to Salt Lake.

We are going to be split up.

Why you ask? Because Jeff and I are going to be saving a lot of money this way, which will enable us to pay off our debts in about a year or two. We are sick of being poor. We are sick of not being able to do anything because of bills So, come March, the boys and I will be spending our days in Helper and four of the days Jeff will be up here in North Salt Lake working. He is going to get a small cheap studio apartment and he will come down on his days off (4 each week) now that he is a full-time operator at his work.

Am I looking forward to this? NO! Well, yes too. I don't want to be separated from Jeff, I hate being away from him. He is the butter to my bread and I don't know what I will do without him around all the time. Even if I only get to see if for a few hours each night before I pass out, he still is in bed with me. Four nights a week my bed will be lonely. I probably will make my dogs sleep with me just because of this. But on the brighter side of things, we will be getting our business taken care of. We will be able to get some bills paid and not have to stress from pay check to pay check. We will be able to start putting money in savings and eventually buy a house up in the Woods Cross/West Bountiful area. We will keep the house in Helper, but since Jeff has such a good job at the Holly Refinery, it makes no sense for him to leave his job. 

So with that said, here comes being a single mom for four days a week. I am lucky though because I do have family around in the Carbon County area that will probably be willing to help me out when I need a break. Plus, my parents just moved to Manti so they are just over the mountain if I need my kids to go to Grandma and Grandpa's for a weekend or so. Also, Jeff's mom and Uncle will be around as well.

We have thought over and over about this and if there is any chance of us getting out of debt, this is what we have to do. We have to sacrifice for us to be able to have a bright future. I hear a lot of families do this and it's going to be hard but Jeff and I have such a solid relationship I know we will make this work. We will just be doing a lot of skyping during the days he isn't home haha

Well, as for the boys, they are getting huge! They turn 27 months and 15 months old in a few weeks and they have fully come out with their personalities. Colt cracks us up daily and Cash is repeating EVERYTHING we say. They are monsters and I'm not going to lie, they wear on my patience, but I would not trade being a mom for the world. I may complain but I love 100x more than I complain and I'm so happy to have the little boys that I do. They can put a smile on any body's face and just make you crack up with a silly word or a silly face. I love my bugeal and jugeal.

As for me, I'm hanging in there. We have a lot to do in the next month or so so I will be extremely busy. Jeff has been working so much and I'm so thankful to have him in my life. He does so much for this family and we would be lost without him. The boys love their dad so much and sometimes I feel like they wouldn't survive without one of his wrestling matches haha they love to wrestle with their dad!

Well, that's all for now. I promise I will try to blog more, we have just been so busy and I've been trying to keep my head on straight.

Hope all is well with everyone! Here's to going back to our roots!

As always - smile!
