Decisions and changes, and making plans

As the saying goes, life is what happens while you are making plans. Well, my plans included, hanging out, doing some spring cleaning, and nesting before baby #5 (who still remains nameless, known by little Emmie as "sister") comes to join us in 4 weeks! (5 the way my body works)... yet, as it said "life happens," and we have decided that there is another path we must go on! We have decided to accept a GREAT job in Bosie Idaho, and move as soon as we can sell the Johnson castle!! (and as soon as the kids are out of school, and girls camp, and Youth Conference are over!)

The down side of course is leaving Utah. We are so sad to leave family, and dear friends, and yes I am sad to leave my house. I love my house! Isn't that silly? Even the things I don't love, I suddenly love! But, we must move forward. We are thinking positively, and I especially am, thinking, hey - maybe the stress of moving will cause me to have this little one on time! Wouldn't that be a novel idea?

So that is what is happening here. The past 3 months have been SOOOO LONG! I am finally feeling some sort of peace (I think?). I am grateful for prayer, friends, and for family support. I am thankful that people still like me still, especially over the past 3 months, when I have had days when I was an emotional mess, just so MAD and confused, and searching for answers and peace.

Today I had the first glimpse of peace! And to make it even better, today is mother's day, and I am so happy to be a mom. There's nothing better than the title of "mom", it truly is my best accomplishment ever, even if I'm still learning how to do it! So to all my sweet friends, happy mothers day, you are the best mom's I love and appreciate all of you! (and your sweet mom's too) I love you mom! And B,W, Z, and E, thanks for letting me be your mom! I am so lucky!
