worst at good byes
I am the absolute worst at goodbyes. I drop Taylor off at the airport trying not to snivel and snot everywhere. I know he wont be gone long, i know that he will be back. But what if he doenst come back. I keep focusing on yesterday and how even though he was tired after work he threw the ball around with Boston who has been looking forward to that time with him for DAYS. Cut to this morning when he wakes up early to hang out with me, snuggles brody till he has to go to school then goes and wakes up smooch and brings him into the living room to snuggle and kiss on. Before Boston heads to school, he and Tay are out in the front yard throwing the baseball around again because it will be a few days till they get to do that again.

Today
So today is Sunday and like the "bad" mormon i am, i went to the gym. I am so shamed! Sadly the 2 lbs i gained was the culprit. I know its stupid, but the 70 minute total conditioning was punishment for ALL the candy and junk i ate yesterday. I cant afford to backslid.
the upside to working out today, is that its general conference, which i can watch at my house, so i dont have to cart all the monkeys to the church. It also means i can work on my Spinning class. I am gathering all my music together so i can have a couple rides prepared for my subbing. Today i went to the gym and the girl teaching the class had just taught 2 back to back spin classes because the instructor who teaches was out. all that means is they need me !!! can not wait till my paperwork goes through so i can get Spinning! Also if any one has any suggestions on music to workout to, please let me know, i want some ideas!!
Brr where is the fall?
Brr
where the heck did fall go? it went from summer (74 degrees )to winter (54 degrees) in flash. makes me sad, i was hoping for some nice 65 degree weather, football and jeans with flip flops....

Spinning instructor
thats right, you are looking at a brand new Spinning instructor. Hooray! I am so excited to be certified to teach this class. For those of you who havent tried it, you should! its a great workout, addicting in the amount you accomplish in the short class time. It does hurt at first (but then what workout doesnt ?)
Spinning challenge : give this program four classes, if you dont be come addicted, well then that is just SAD!

Just celebrated 5 years of married life with Tay. He is wonderful. Life with him just keeps getting better. Of course we arent perfect, but its nice to always have something to work towards :) With a total of 7 years under our belt, i think it is safe to say we are in it for the long haul. Ha if not what a huge waste of time :)
He is my best friend, the one person who understands me better than i sometimes understand myself. he makes me a better person, and he makes me giggle.... the butterflies have settled in, but there is a glow now instead. Personally i would rather have the glow, sure steadiness than the rollercoaster butterflies. it just gives a sense of peace.
Love that boy!

april recap the best month ever
Like promised....
The best part of April was my birthday. Taylor threw me a surprise 28th birthday party. He invited a handful of couples to come and celebrate ME.
He made me my own little cake (because we went to Ilse's 1st bday and Kyra had gotten Ilse her very own cake to destroy and i had remarked, that i never had my very own cake)
He decorated my cake plate with pictures of our family cut out and artistically arranged around the edges of the plate.
He made me my own cake (yes i said this already) in the shape of two hearts that intersect.
He blew up and hid 10 royal blue, pink and glitter black at Linda's house.
He made me spaghetti (my favorite dish) Juliann brought bread and Janette made the salad
He made a special Oreo cake dessert
He also remembered the kiddos : he brought them pizza and a movie.
turning 28, irrelevant
the second very best part of April : was watching BLUE OCTOBER. They were awesome. i brought Juliann and made her a fan I was sad cause the last two years i have been going with Linda but she wasnt able to attend. So jules sucked it up and went and had a freakin blast!!!!
we even stayed till like 1 am waiting to have them sign stuff and i got to take a picture with the lead singer, justin!!! IN HEAVEN I WAS.
the other cool thing about April was i started working for the first time in almost 5 years at Alliance Foods in earth city. They are a food broker for Save-a-Lot. its clerical work but it is a nice change. the kids and Taylor are adjusting well. its been hard juggling the work, working out, housework, snuggling, playing bathing sleeping thing. but i will adjust.....
BTW if any one has pics of the party send them my way JANETTE :) ps i miss you too

Deaths in the family
How it happens that one followed the other within two weeks is beyond me. All i know is by the end of march i was wiped emotionally. Losing my grandmother though it was a long time coming was rough. I knew she was in a better place, i knew her kids were now better off but seeing my mother break like that was hard. I cannot imagine the pain. She died from old age and all the crap that comes with that but she hadnt been well mentally for almost seven years. the last two she no longer knew any one and did not function. it was tough.
Nikki was harder because though she had been diagonosed with cancer a year ago, she had hit her 100 day mark and was cancer free at the time of her death. it was sudden she went in to the hospital after a week of doing better, and never came out. it took only 5 hours. the toughest part for me, was Ryker. being a mother is hard and adding in the fact that death touches anyone at any time regardless of how old your "baby" is, was a hard pill to swallow. My heart broke for her husband Terry, and her family but it absolutely shattered for Ryker. He was 15 months at the time of her death. She was only 33. It just brings it all home.
It has made me more grateful. Has me counting my blessings even more fiercely than before because i want to have used all the moments i had. with my children and my husband. Work(money) is a necessary evil but all the other stuff we do, that we put off till tomorrow, well now we have to prioritze it because that tomorrow may not come. and then what???
what will my kids and friends remember? what will my spouse miss most? even if i didnt fulfill my dreams would i be proud with the product i left? i cant whine that i didnt have enough time, i only have myself to blame.

Its been too long
It has been too long. I think at least three months since i blogged last. I am not even sure that i can retell the last few months.
Let's try:
in march we had two deaths in the family. My sister in law Nikki and my maternal grandmother Felicitas. Brynden turned 2
in april i turned 28 and got a job after 4 1/2 years of being a stay at home mother. Saw BLUE OCTOBER :)
in may we learned how hard it is to have three kids and two parents that are never in the same place for very long. love spinning
in june boston finished the first grade with flying numbers. He went to texas and Brody went with him for a week. my motherinlaw came to visit, had my very first overnight date with Taylor in like 5 years. i got released from my calling. and then got a new calling. saw Eclipse with some close girl friends of mine. it was great.
in july, so far, we made a trip to and from atlanta GA to visit the Guymon family. that trip was super fun and deserves a post of its own.
how's that for a recap?
fabulous huh?
i will expand on all these things in the order they were listed. i know you are all waiting on the edge of your seats huh? i promise the wait wont be long

Nikki Jo Noveroske
April 19, 1976- March 14, 2010
Joli Bean Nikki Noveroske Taylor Williams, Brock Williams and Tachi Williams one year ago.....
The poem at her memorial service was worth repeating:
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!
We recently lost my sister inlaw, Nikki. Please keep her husband and baby in your prayers.

Snow day
It is another snow day and that means all three kids at home while Taylor is trying to sleep cause it is his second day on mids.
Boston's friend invited us to go sledding at a school nearby. She had a ton of sleds that they could use, so we did. It was GREAT!
Both Brody and Boston love sledding. More than i thought they would, so that means i have to go out and get some sleds of our own......
Brynden hates sledding. He tried twice and cried both times :(

Frantic Valentine
Bostons valentines party for school, that i am in charge of is THURSDAY. I just got the info today (MONDAY) which gives me four days to plan and pick up supplies for a game, a craft and prepare his valentine cards to be given out.
Of course you think, Why april, didnt you plan ahead. well to those meanies i say, I DID! I called Bostons teacher weeks ago to figure this out and she said she would let me know when it got closer. But four days is a bit too close.
ALthough i am putting this on her, I would have procrastinated had she told me back in december :)
the good thing is the internet is a reliable tool for planning these events. Within the hour i had planned both the craft and the game. Now all that is left are the supplies and the valentines to be written out.
Still a bit frantic though

Clean
I am CLEAN, every WHIT!!
Gotta love the temple, the joy it brings, the comfort and release of tension.
I went in today, and everything was going wrong.
I forgot my recommend (and it was expired in Jan 2010 anyway)
My phone died
My car was thisclose to being out of gas
I was super lost!!!!
I finally get there, we go through the youth items and i get the urging to do some work. So i asked my greatest pal Catherine to pick her hubby up late and do some work with me. She said yes, so we did, and it was GREAT!
all that tension i was carrying around on my shoulders was lifted. I was at peace and happy.

Hungry = Skinny
I am convinced that to be skinny you must be hungry. Even if you workout, and watch calories, and control your intake, i am convinced that nothing means its working like those hunger pains......
More on my impromptu study to come....

Kablooey!!!
The title says it all. Kablooey, explosion, blown up all very graphic words. This describes my pyrex dish saturday night.
Let me fill you in on my explosion. We had invited a couple over for dinner. I was making a ham dinner with mashed potatoes and veggies. Catherine was going to bring the dinner rolls, and i had made a peach pie. sounds yummy huh??
I put the ham in the oven and set it to bake at 350, unbeknownst to me, Brynden had walked by after me, and upped the temp to BROIL. The ham cooked like this for approx half an hour. and then there was a crash that sounded like something breaking. Boston comes rushing out and asks what happened. I responded by saying i dont know, what did you guys do?? He said, nothing. All scintillating conversation right?
Okay well, i look around the kitchen, i see nothing out of place. i walk back to the computer sit down and then i start smelling the ham, it was burning.
I rush into the kitchen open the oven and i see my ham, wrapped in foil and not in its dish. The dish was in pieces, like a MILLION pieces!! All over the oven, crunching together as i opened the oven door, it was a mess.
No pictures taken, it was too much of a madhouse, trying to finish dinner, and clean the oven, throw all the glass away from a 9x9 pan. Catherine thinks that Pyrex might have had a stamp on the bottom of the pan stating, do not broil. Sadly i do not know if that is true since the pyrex dish in question went kablooey in my oven. Luckily it was safety glass so no cuts.
BTW the dinner turned out great!
