i miss blogging. there. i said it. i took down our old bertoch family blog... but then, there were so many things i thought i'd share. but not things i'd really share on my photo blog. so here i go again. starting up a new blog. a blog about anything. no rules. (so read at your own risk.) not feeling like i have to meet some expectation. just about life. and with having family far away, well... this way we can all be connected. and thats lovely. :)
ive been thinking a lot about this year. first of all, i cant believe it is the end of august. that aly goes to FIRST GRADE on monday. (i really DONT want to think about that. im in denial. and its wonderful) time seems to go by so fast, and so slow at the same time. so much has happened this year. we started it with daniel's knee surgery. getting pregnant. and selling our condo. our first place we bought together. the place we brought amy home from the hospital. we left because it felt like the right time. i was sad. sad to leave so many wonderful friends. sad to say goodbye to a ward that helped me grow in spiritual leaps and bounds. we sold to live in my parents house for a time. not knowing where we would end up. its like taking a big giant leap into the dark. especially with a baby on the way. so many nights i'd lay awake... wondering where we'd end up. wondering how anything would ever work out for us. it seemed that every house we looked at was either out of our price range, or way too far away from daniel's work. then... by random. we found it. our next house. and within a week we were under contract. (i'll blog more about that story later.) its amazing how heavenly father knows what we need. he already had this in the works even before we moved. we had to be here to find the next place. the experience has really strengthened my testimony. and i know heavenly father does really watch over us. and has a plan for us. and that makes me happy. :)
