MOVING!

Let me start by saying Tyler got a promotion! YAY!!! 

He has the GM title and we're MOVING to California. 

Now let me say how happy I am for this opportunity and my husbands accomplishments but how unhappy I am about his hours, the area we'll be living (expensive) and the house we found... yes house! Only 1 in this tiny city California calls Blythe and I seriously doubt we'll get it cause it's the only 1!

I did go over there this last weekend and visited the church we'll be attending... seriously AWESOME ladies I have already begun to get to know. There's 1 specifically helping me find housing and has been texting me pictures of trailers we could possibly stay untill something bigger/better comes available. Again I have to say how much I love my church! I really love so much about it and know Ill find more to love.

I'm super duper stressed right now though because I have to finish teaching preschool through May 7th and the girls finish school May 22nd so I have to work, homework/school routine  pack my whole house (2,500 sq feet), clean my whole house, try to paint certain crayon art walls, and fix our sprinklers! I know there's more but just thinking of those things is freaking me out!

We already found a renter for our house and he's moving in June 1st (a week after were moving to Blythe) and I don't know if I can have everything ready or done by then!

I did get a call while writing this that there is a 3 bedroom for under 1000 for rent and we can start moving in May 1st... I'm hoping this will be right for us. please pray for our family to have the strength to be pleasant to each other and to come out ahead!

great to be Mormon

These are my great grandparents! I never knew they were members of the same church as me till a month after I was baptized! My grandfather, there son pasted away in 1972 and he started the genealogy for our family... I'm trying to do work in the temple he left. I feel like things fell into place for me to be able to do this for my family. 

I just wish I could have been baptized sooner and dated my husband when we were still in HS but all things happen for a reason and I guess 3 kids and a divorce later we we're supposed to be.

Jade

This is Jade our pup who got really sick while at a family members house for a couple months.

She got bit by a tick and it gave her tick fever which never got treated... this ended up giving her an infection and nobody knew to get her treatment. With her immune system being compromised she ended up getting a disease called MMM (masticatory muscle myositis).Her mussels slow deteriorated and she couldn't eat or hardly move because the pain she was in. Sadly we decided to put her down and I don't think I'll ever get over this heartache or the thought of what if I could have done more or if I could have done something differently. My poor husband had her since she was a tiny little thing so I could only imagine what he was going through. 

happy to be me

I haven't posted in a very long time... That being said I'm going to try and get some posts up of what's been going on this past year in the Cook's lives. 

Here is today

Happy me! 

I honestly am the happiest I have EVER been in my life! 

 I feel like I have the best most amazing husband and children ever!
