Life and stuff

It has been nearly a month since I wrote. I am not very good at this Des! Check out the gunnellfamilylife blog to see a good one! So life is good! We haven't sold the house and haven't had any lookers for a while, but we have faith it will happen soon! Meanwhile, Troy has been hanging with his parents on weekends and that has been great for all involved! We see him about every 3 or 4 weeks. It's hard, but we truly enjoy him while he is here! The kids finished soccer! Yeah! Alex's team won their championship game and finished out the season on top! The picture is the indicator of success! Kaylee's HS games pretty much stunk, but hey they had fun! The kids are eager to get moved to be able to participate in activities out there. Waiting is never fun1 I think it is like being 9 months pregnant, but having no due date to look forward too! Painful!
I recently left my job to concentrate on the kids and getting packed. I think I miss it already. Being really busy keeps your mind off things.
Ok enough already!
You know lately I have been thinking about fathers! I mean with Troy being gone I have thought a lot about the role he plays here. Some father's don't do much to help with the kids, but he does and so I miss him more. I have also been thinking about my own father. Up until recently I would call my own father every single saturday morning. It was "our time". He told me about what everyone was doing in the family, how mom was and what he was thinking about. I loved having that time to bond. I am not sure I did it enough as a child. Anyway, the best part is he tells me how much he loves me (0f course!), but he also tells me specific reasons why he thinks I am a great person! Everyone needs that! He inspires me to keep going and to do more! He keeps me level headed and motivated! I think everyone could use a dose of "why your worthy" times! So I think I am going to add some here!

YOU ARE Wonderful because...
God loves you! You have a great smile! You makes others feel good! You are my friend! You are a mother, brother, father, sister, wife, husband or child! You get things done! You keep trying and trying... You CAN do it! You do do it!
That's just a few! I want you to know I appreciate all of your support and kindnes!

Take care!
