MMmOOOoooVVVvvIIinNnGGgG!

Well right now we are getting ready to make the big move! My parents have come to the final conclusion that they will be going to Kwajelin after all! So I'm super excited for them. I know that it is the right thing to do and I am happy for them. What a new and exciting adventure for them! I know that I'll miss them terribly, but I know that my mom needs this extended vacation. She will get to see my dad everyday, which is a great blessing for them both!

Until they move, we will still be able to stay with them, which is a big relief for us! I am excited to get down there to see my family all the time, but I'm still kinda sad. I will miss everyone that has left an impression on me up here in Provo. There have been so many people who have done so much for me and I just wanted to say thank you to all of them. I know that I may not get to see them before I go, but I want them to know how much I care about them. Thanks you guys!

Well I know this is short post, but I have so much to do and I thought I'd post before the big move! I won't be writing again until we move down to Kanab and then I'll post some pictures of my favorite Provo places! And of course some pictures of Kanab!

Plan Changes

Well things lately have been alright. I've been a little upset with life, but I'll manage somehow. So many things are on my mind right now and I just feel so overwhelmed and unhappy. I just want peace and joy to abound and I'm sad that this hasn't happened yet. But, I just need to trust in the Lord and remember his ways are not my own always. And I know that things will get better with time and effort.

The newest updates that I have are that my parents have decided not to move after all! Strange how things change! But, my father was offered a very well paying job in Tampa Florida that he wants to take so we are happy for them. But, we aren't out of a place to live! My parents still have the apartment that is available and we may just be ending up there!

Jonathan's sister, Jennifer has been visiting for the last little while and it has been a lot of fun to spend time with her. We are very different people, but she is a lot of fun. I just hope that she hasn't been bored out of her mind with me! I realize that I'm not so interesting, with two children and all. heh...anyway...

But other than that life is going by quietly. Just working to get out affairs in order for the big move. I miss my friends here in Provo and wish I could see them before we go. It seems though that everyone is so busy lately! I know that they'll always be here for me if I need them, even if I can't see them again before I leave.

It's an adventure...it's good for you!

Well I must say that things never seem to slow down around the Spooner household. And I'm not just talking about taking care of two energetic children either! Though they do take up so much energy and time, it is well worth it. Actually, I'm talking about the adventures that our family have been experiencing these last few weeks.

First off, I went last week to look for a place for us to live when we move down to Southern Utah in just a few short weeks! The strange thing is that everywhere that I was supposed to go and look never go back with me or the places were too expensive. I did get to go see one place that wasn't too terrible. But my plans didn't work out too well. However, it turned out that my inability to find a place to live was actually an answer to a prayer for someone else: my parents. The day that I got to my parent's house, my father informed me that he had been offered a job in Kwajelin (That's in the Marshal Islands) and he and my mother and two youngest siblings would be living there for two years! Talk about exciting. Living on a tropical island! And my father would be able to go home every night and have weekends off, something he hasn't had in a long long time. And my mother would have her husband home with her, something that she deserves. So it works out so well for the both of them. I've been praying that things would work out for my parents because they deserve to be happy, and I know that this is an answer to not only my prayers but my grandparents as well. We've all been praying for them. And even though it will be hard to let them go, I do know that it's going to be okay and that this will be the right thing for them. My mom and dad deserve this happiness. And because they are going to be leaving for the island, my mother and father gave us the opportunity to have a place to live in Kanab. We'll actually be living where I grew up! It's so strange, but the answer we have been seeking. We've known that we needed to move, and now we understand that there was more than one reason why and that the Lord has provided for all of us. Needless to say we are indeed very grateful.

Here's a picture of Kwajelin! Tiny little tropical island! What an adventure don't you think?

Other adventures that we've been experiencing around our home would be that Hannah is excitedly dancing ALL THE TIME. I really wish that I could catch it on tape, but it's just so hard. It's quite funny to watch her. And I love sharing these experiences with her. And then Liam rolls over and laughs and smiles at you all the time as well. He just loves to spend time with his family. It is so much fun. And here are some pictures that I didn't get to post last time.

I love this picture...I know I'm sooo vain! Haha...but I really love how this one turned out. The funny thing is, I wasn't even paying attention when it was taken!

Isn't he so handsome? I love this little guy! And this picture captures him perfectly!

Hannah is such a doll! She was so much fun to watch when we got these done. All she wanted to do was run around and dance! It was a blast to watch.

We weren't intending on having these types of pictures taken. But they turned out great! Hannah sure does love her daddy. And what a great daddy he is too.

This is one of my favorites of Liam and Jonathan. They both have that funny little look on their face. It's a classic!

Again this is a picture I didn't know was being taken, but it turned out great. I love Hannah in this one. And the reflection is so wonderful!

And here is one of our whole family. It's just a nice picture. Paul Spallino actually got us a big print of it and it will be framed on our wall very soon. We love it.

And another few adventures that are going on right now are that Jonathan's sister Jennifer is here visiting for a few weeks. It will be interesting to have her around and I hope that she has fun while she is here. The next time I post I will have to put pictures of her and my kiddos up.

ANNND!!!! I finally cut my hair! I chopped it all off! It is so short and I love it! I don't have pictures yet, but I will get some soon! I just got it cut today! Haha...

Well that's all for now. Things will hopefully go well and everyting will work out the way they are supposed to. There are still things that need to be figured out and my prayers will continue for the issues that are still going on. But I know the Lord will look out for us, if we trust him and keep him in our hearts.
