Getting more and more behind...

Ok! I am just getting more and more behind! (tee hee) I have oodles of events and pics to post about, including Easter and beyond, but the laptop is the only computer I can download pics onto, and the internet is not working on that computer and well... it be jus' a mess! LOL

Things are going along ok. I think we have realized that the great relief of Jes finally having a job is not really coming. YES - we are thrilled to have health insurance. (of course of course!) but we aren't making ends meet with what he makes :( It's a little anti-climatic (if that makes any sense) after all we have walked through. Maybe we aren't done with this particular trial yet? Maybe there is more to come? Time will tell.

Today I have been particularly... troubled, I guess? A dear family in our ward, whom we have felt a special bond with, are loosing their home. We did a yard sale for them last weekend, and this week we are trying to get them packed for both a storage shed and living with family - their little family of 6. It is hauntingly real for me, and we are all really sad to see them have to move! Another instance of a big corrupt bank stringing a FAMILY along, with hopes up and down, and then dashing them on the rocks in favor of lining their pockets. The whole housing crisis is a SHAM. Pres. Obama's great "save the homeowners" hoopla has done nothing but given the big banks more money than they deserve. They have found so many loopholes it is not even funny! Families are suffering... while they get richer. Evil. Sad and Evil.

Anyway... enough of that... things really are pretty good! We are healthy. We are a family. We have the gospel. And that is what matters. The rest will work itself out.

I am just sad for this family.
Sad for our family.
It has been a tough week.

Jes is going to try and find someone to help us get our internet up on the laptop and then I will have posts like crazy... and lots happier sounding ones I am sure! *wink* Have a great evening all!
