To All A Boy (Kobi)

Kobi I knew What the Black button was. We use them in our school. That is how we call the office. You should have just called me (Brandon). I can't wait to see you. I told my mom and dad to move in a house next to you. But hey California is a lot closer than Maine!!! :-) Charlize keeps trying to push buttons. My favorite color is green. What is yours? Well I need to go because it is bed time. Happy Halloween ( your house looks awesome)

Life As We Know It

We are loving fall but yesterday it snowed. It didn't say long. Winter is officially here. Bryce and Katie came to visit a month ago. We miss them and the boys. It was wonderful having them and boy... were they helpful. We finished our front porch and the guest bed room. We cleaned a lot out of the garage. It also was stressful for Trent and I because we can't agree on what to keep and what needs to go (Go Figure). Most of our stuff is packed away so our home looks simple and it is easy to keep clean. Our kids are not as over whelmed with their rooms. It really is simple and easy. The economy has affected many of our love ones and they are in our thoughts and prayers. We know everything will work out. It just goes to show there really is a higher power. Who loves us and knows what we need to go through. We hope everyone effected will learn what God would have them learn. Not to mention our selves. The move to California has not been easy. We have not had one person look at our home. Trent was offered another job at the shipyard here in Maine and it would be the same pay as California but he turned it down. He really wants to move even if it means being apart for a year and maybe more depending on the economy. If no one can get loans then no one can buy a home. We were hoping to be able to buy a forecloser in Cali but I guess it depends how soon we get there. Trent will probably be staying in Bryce and Katies mobile home. We have talked about the kids and I going and staying with my folks but that is one of many ideas. We truly are not stressed. It is amazing the peace we get if we listen to the spirit. Well enough of that...
Teren had her 4th baby. Her name is Hanna Colver. They moved to Orem a week before she was due. She called Dr. Gourley and he got her right in. The following Monday she delivered Hanna. Teren was so grateful to Dr. Gourley because she hasn't seen him since her first baby. He treated her like no time had past. I miss him and wish all my babies were delivered by him. It really is different in Utah than any where else and Teren agrees. She has been in Tonga, Vegas, and Utah. There is nothing like Utah. :-) I will write more tomorrow.
