Been a while!

I know it has been over a month since I dived into this place! My life is crazy! Since I last wrote we had a wonderful experience! Abbey was baptized! I can hardly believe my baby is eight! Troy (who is living in Utah right now) came home over the Labor Day holiday to perform the feat! It went well! I must say the Spirit was so strong and I think Abbey actually grasped the importance of it! She had to wear the only available white jumpsuit the branch has and didn't like her hair up...so she took it out! After the baptism, we forgot a brush, so she didn't bother having her hair combed! Now if this would have been my first daughter I admit, I would have been having a coniption, but with number 5 the importance of the occasion overshadowed the crazy hair! WE love you Abbey!!!
Grandma and pa Bailey were able to come as well as friends Mike and Lynda from Chicago and some other great friends! Lots of food and fun was shared! We are so glad that we have been able to develop so many terrific friendships in many places and are looking forward to the new friends we will make in our new home!
Nope we haven't sold the house yet, but I do believe it won't be too much longer! I went to SLC this past weekend to house hunt and found there are a lot of beautiful ones to see! We hope to be there before the holidays! I must say I am going to miss many things about this place! For one, the midwest is very green most of the time! You don't have sprinkler systems, it just stays that way! Also, the traffic were we live is practically nil in comparison to what Utah has become! I will especially miss the wonderful people I have met! The friends I have made here have a special place in my heart! To all of you I say 'thanks and it's been a good ride!'

Well I am off to the van! There are soccer games, drama practices, soccer practices and other places to be! Thank heavens for the van! It is were memories are made!
