I find change to be hard. I like things pretty consistent. I get into my routine, my habits, my life and I don't want things to change to dramatically. We recently bought new furniture, and we sold our old stuff. We moved everything out and Aiden was sad. I asked him why and he said,"that was the only furniture I've ever known." It was hard for him to see that the new furniture would be just as great or better. He didn't want things to be different.
Because I like to know what my schedule will be like each day it's been kind of hard to have a new baby. Jack changes often. When I think that I have him all figured out and he gets teeth, he stops taking two naps, he learns a new trick and I have to figure him out all over again.
A big change just happened in our family's life this week. Russell resigned from Designer Marble. I've know that it has been coming for quite awhile, but now that it happened I have been a little stressed. I haven't been sleeping very well. I've been thinking about how things will be different, how they won't be the same. Kind of like how Aiden felt. I know that Heavenly Father gives us change in our life because He knows that things can be just as great or better. He knows that for me, I need to have change put into my life, because I probably wouldn't choose to change. But just like Jack, with each new change I learn something new and become someone better. I need change.
I am a little scared, I am a little nervous, but I am ready to see what is going to happen with this new adventure.

I'm feelin' ya. I feel the same way right now with whats going on in our lives. I wish you guys the best, and good luck with everything.
I feel your pain, being self employed again... the scary unknown! But I am glad Russ is rid of one stress!
Layne hasn't been sleeping either, and then he wakes up and takes 2 aspirin (lovely breakfast.) Anyway, I'm glad those brothers have each other, and I know they'll take care of our little families. I think they'll be happier! But it is kinda scary.
Just had to stop by to say hi! I had no idea you guys had a blog :-) Do you care if I link yours to ours?
Sometimes change is scary, but when work becomes too stressful, change can be a good thing. I'm sure all will work out for you and your cute little family. Good luck to you!
Isn't it nice knowing that no matter what things will work out and lots of times even better than you can imagine. I love knowing that the lord watches over us.
I love Aidens story about Holly, It is so cute when they are in love even though scary because one day too soon he will really be girl crazy.
Sorry about the sleep.
Hang in there! It will all work out great!
Can Russ sleep in now?
So what is Russell doing now? Good luck with your new adventure. I know you'll be blessed.
