Sunday Drive

Bruce and I decided to go for a little drive on Sunday.   We found out that there is a national park like 20 minutes from us so we decided to go.  It was honestly the most beautiful place ever.  The view took my breath away!   

Hayden Lake

Bruce and I woke up bright and early and went fishing at Hayden Lake.  It is like 5 minutes from our apartment, and Bruce has been wanting to fish forever so we decided to go.  It was freezing cold, and I was all bundled up while he fished... but it was fun and relaxing!  It was a nice change to our day to day routine.  The lake is GORGEOUS, and it was so peaceful.  We didn't catch anything, sadly... but it was still fun to watch my hunny do what he loves!  

Since we have been out here Bruce has been doing pretty good with sales.  He has been training a bunch of guys, and helping them knock and I am so proud of him.  The company put us up in some really nice 3 bedroom Condo...  Two of Bruce's guys are living with us.  At first I was kinda freaking out because I did not want to re-live what happened in Boston, but it has not been too bad.  They are clean guys, and the condo is big enough so it's no big deal!  We sure have had a lot of exciting experiences and funny stories since we have been here!  We will be back in AZ in April, and then off again for the summer!

It's funny because I look back on the 4 summers we have been doing this, and the first year I wanted nothing to do with it... I cried, and begged Bruce not to take me away... But now I seriously enjoy being away with my husband.  We have made so many fun memories, and have been able to experience things a lot of people haven't been able to experience!  I am so grateful for my life, and for my amazing husband!

Valentine's Day

Bruce and I had an awesome Valentine's Day!  We got all dressed up and went out to dinner, after dinner we went out to a nearby lake and walked out on the dock, then we did a little shopping... It was so layed back, but so much fun.  Bruce bought me a purse, and then took me to get lots of fabric to keep me busy :)  I seriously feel so blessed to have him in my life, and to be able to call him my Valentine.

Lately I have been in some kind of funk.  I have not wanted to blog, or do anything close to blogging.  I have done a few things for journal purposes, but it has been the bare minimal.  I have my good days and my bad days.  Since my miscarriage life has been hard.  I try to smile and go about my day happily, but deep down I just ache for a baby so bad.  People tell me oh don't stress about it, it will happen... and I know that, but you don't know what it feels like to want a baby that you can't have, unless you have been in the situation.  I ache to share those wonderful experiences with my husband, to hear our baby's first heart beat, find out what we are having, and then to see my husbands face when he first see's our beautiful baby.  I can't wait for that bond that we will gain as we enter parenthood.  I know all these things will come, I have been promised that I will be a mother, but sometimes the waiting game can be hard.  I am so grateful for the fact that I was pregnant... It gives me so much hope!  I can't not wait for the day that I will be a mother.  Although it can be hard, I am so grateful for this small trial in my life, because I know that I will not take a second for granted once I am finally a mother... I also know that I will enjoy it that much more, and I will truely witness the miracle of being able to have kids.  I know this is all in Heavenly Fathers hands, and that is what gives me comfort. 

Our drive to Coeur d' Alene!

This morning we left Montana.  Alot of problems came up with the state of Montana, and our company decided it would be better to just find a new place to sell.  We are now in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho... and I am pretty sure this is the prettiest place on our trip by far.  When we got here, it was too cloudy to take pictures, but here are some pictures of our trip.  Surprisingly there is no snow here {I'm  not complaining} and its gorgeous!  We are about 30 minutes away from Spokane, Washington so we are excited to see this part of the country!  Instead of going to Billings, Montana in a couple weeks, we are now going to probably stay here.  I am so excited!!!
