Hi Friends. We are indeed alive... and quite well. It's actually been really nice to take such a long break from the computer/internet scene. SO... a lot has been going on in our lives. Kourtney is 2... gets bigger everyday... talks very well (I can't keep up with all of the new words she's learning everyday so I stopped trying)... sleeps in a toddler bed... pulled a muscle yesterday and couldn't walk (lovely)... loves going to the park EVERYDAY!!!... loves loves loves anything and everything that makes her feel pretty... starts dance class this week, she'll be doing the Polar Express for Christmas recital they're starting with tap and tumbling! how adorable!... she sings ALL THE TIME!... she dances ALL THE TIME!!! I love that she is so much like me in so many ways. We have such a fantastic time together. I love teaching her and being at home with her. She definitely is a huge blessing in my life and an extremely good little girl. She, for the most part, has very good manners, listens very well, and has an amazing and very sweet spirit. She is a special little girl.
Jordan is fantastic... he just got moved into a new program at work which has him working longer hours... he is a hard worker... he helps me through/understands all of my health issues... Kourtney loves when he is home... I love listening to them play and sing and goof around... He has a friend staying with us right now... that makes me happy that he's found a good friend... he's been called to be a teacher in priesthood... he's nervous... I know he'll do great... he's goofy... he's smily... he's annoyingly happy ALL THE TIME!..... AND I LOVE IT!!! I LOVE HIM!!!
I have recently had a very emotional weekend. I found out when I was 10 years old that my father was not my biological father and that I had two more brothers and a little sister! Geez! So... I've been waiting for 12 years to meet them. 12 YEARS!!! Imagine my excitement when my mother calls me on Saturday and tells me that my Aunt Linda (my bio. father's sister I LOVE HER) is in town and that she has one of my younger brothers with her! WHAT?!! I sure as heck wasn't prepared for all of that! He's a lot different than I am that's for sure. But he is family and I love him. I hope to be able to get to know him better. We only spent one day together but it was well worth it. It was interesting to have him sitting in my house all of a sudden! We were comparing features and talking about Sonny (father) and how Rachael and I never knew about them until we were 10 and 11. Turns out my brother and I have the same eyes, hair, and feet! Crazy! And, apparently, my little sister is just like me... hyper and outgoing and crazy! (and apparently we dress alike) that's very exciting for me. It was all very nice yet very strange. I was able to keep my emotions in check and I was very proud of myself. What I mean by that is I didn't cry at all. I didn't let on that it was an emotional thing for me... I'm so very happy that he wanted to meet us. So so so happy!
