Drew and I have lived in Utah off and on since I was pregnant with Lainee. We got married in Nevada and then we got pregnant a month later. When I was about 4 or 5 months pregnant I asked Drew if we could move to Utah so I could be closer to my family. Expecially my mom. I was having my first kid and I needed my mommy to help me with the experience. So Him being the amazing man that he is, we packed up and moved. We lived with my sister and her hubby for a while and we had the basement apartment. We then moved from that to a house up by weber state. We shared a 3 bedroom house and I had Lainee while we lived there. I loved being close to my family during that time! But there was still something missing.
Back in Nevada Drew and I had some really good friends that we missed alot. And I missed my best friend from high school so when Lainee was about 4 or 5 months old we moved back to Fallon. We lived there for a while. Things got rough for Drew and I. But we pushed through it and decided we needed to be in Utah and close to my family so we could have their good influences. When I got pregnant with Makai in October we moved back to Utah a couple months later. We stayed with my mom for a about 3 months. It was nice to be "home". But we needed our own space. My sister had gotten a divorce and was living in a little house down from Weber high. She agreed to let us take over the rent and move in. Drew finally found a good stable job with insurance. Things were good. But, something was still missing. We had Makai in July and a few months after that with a lot of preparation we were sealed in the Temple as a family! It was amazing! My sweet lovely children all dressed in white. It was the best day of my life. Now your all thinking, "that must have been what was missing". Yes it was the best day and nothing could ever be better!
Life went on and it was good! But like I said, something that I needed in my everyday life was missing. I prayed for it to bless my life. I thought I got it a couple times. But it never amounted to much. I don't know why I need it so badly but I do and it really makes a big difference in my life. Sanity, depression, selfworth, patience! I get all these things when I have this special thing in my life!
After Drew and I had Makai we lived in that house for a couple years or so and then we got preggo with Kado. We knew that we needed a bigger place for our growing family to live. So we went searching. We wanted to buy our first home. We got very close. But it fell through because our loan officer wasnt the best. So we had to find a place fast cause Kado was due in October! We finally found a rental in Ogden. The place were in now. It is 3 bedrooms, 1 and a half bath. Much bigger than our first 2 bedroom one bath place. We moved in and I had Kado a month later. Our ward here is amazing. The people are welcoming and caring! I have alot of great friendships where we have alot in common and we really care about eachother! I love everyone!!! I was still praying for that blessing, and I finally found it!!!
We are now home owners and have found a great house. It is big enough that we can stay in it a long time. Even if we have more kids! Everything is great! We do have to move out of our lovely ward but that blessing that I finally found wont go away!! And if she does it will be like losing a blood related sister! I have been needing someone like her for so long. She makes me sane. We have tons of fun. She makes me want to be a better person and pushes me use my talents! I beleive she is Heaven sent and I know that we were best friends before we came to this Earth! We told eachother we would find eachother in this life. To help eachother get through life and to return to Our Heavenly Father again!!

I hope you know what you mean to me. I hope you know that with out you I would be a big loser!!! Lets not let me moving out of the ward change our friendship:D
