This may come as a shock to some

The inevitable finally happened. I'm getting divorced. Yes, you read that right. DIVORCED! I'm doing this {refer to picture below} to my family.
I've been wanting to do it for 4 1/2 years. I was in the SLC Temple for my brothers wedding {in the very same room I was married in}. I prayed and asked Heavenly Father what I should do. And, He told me to go. He told me to RUN, actually! I got conformation of it 3 times. So, I know this is the right thing to do. Weird that my marriage began and ended in the same room.

So, I'm going to need lot's of friends right now. It's starting to hit me. We just got back from Utah tonight. And, when we pulled up, Pete was here waiting to take the kids to "his house". It was so weird! I'm sitting here not quite knowing what to do next. I have nothing. I'm starting from scratch. It feels like I just got out of High School {except that I have 2 kids this time around}.

I need to move out of my house by the 30th {3 days from today}. So, if anyone wants to come help me pack up, I could really use the help.

And, if anyone knows of a job, I need one of those.

And, if anyone knows of a cheap car, I need one of those too.

    Kaylea,
    There's probably not a lot we can do to help from here. But we love you and we are backing you 100%. I hope you feel like there is support wrapping around you from every side. I'm so sorry for what you've gone through. You can do this!

    Kaylea,
    I am sorry to hear you have to go through this. What a wonderful thing it is to receive conformation from the spirit. Go with that and when times get hard just think back to that sealing room. I would be happy to come help you pack. I can bring boxes too. What time do you want me to come on Monday? Where are you moving to? Let me know!

    Kaylea, I'm sorry that you have to go through this. But, the Spirit is never wrong, and I admire all your strength and courage to do the thing you need to do. You are such an amazing girl -I think you have a lot more going for you than you might realize. You have so many friends -and one of the most loving and supportive and close knit families I have ever seen. Your parents and siblings simply rock! You will so get through this -and Heavenly Father will come to your aide whenever you ask Him. I wish I could come help you pack up. :( Love you girl! I'll be praying for you.

    Kaylea,
    I wish you were here, so I could give you big HUG!!! You need to do what is best for you and your two little boys. As President Hinckley says, DO THE BEST YOU CAN! Great to see you and the family in Utah.

    Wow Kaylea I'm so SO sorry! A very big shock! I don't know if I can be of any help, but Jared can help get you in contact with someone at University of Phoenix for a job interview, and if you got on there your education would be paid for so you could start that and figure out what you want to do. And as for packing, I'd love to help, but I'm unsure if bringing my 3 kids would help so much- BUT I'd love to watch your kiddies for you so you have more time to pack. I'll see if I can get your # from Jamie and give you a call. Hang in there...

    kaylea, I am so sorry that you are going thru this. My sister was recently divorced with 2 kids and I know how hard it can be. I obviously don't know your situation, but I do know that you do what you have to do as a mom. I promise you that the Lord will bless you. If you ever need anything please let me know. If I was rich I would buy you a car and place to stay and heal your heart. You are young and beautiful and talented and I know you will find an amazing man to love you and take care of you and your kids. If you ever need someone to watch your kids so you can have some alone time or date time or whatever, let me know

    Kaylea,
    You have to do what is right for you and your boys. It sucks the way life works out, but I believe that everything happens for a reason and we are to learn from it all. I wish I lived close to help you with your boys. Let me know if I can do anything. Good Luck, and keep us posted.

    Kaylea my dear. I am so sorry that you have to go through divorce. I wish I could run over and give you a great big hug, but I am praying for you and your adorable boys. If there is anything I can do let me know... Thank goodness for the Atonement to help us get through difficult situations like this. I love you and hope for the best!

    Kaylea, I am so SO sorry to hear this. Having grown up with divorced parents, I know that this isn't going to be an easy road: confirmation or not. I'm not sure what all I can do to support you from Northern California, but if you ever want to get away for a bit, etc I am happy to have you guys crash at my place.

    If you want any help formatting your resume, I'm happy to.

    Geez - that sucks! But I do know from experience (my mom and stepdad) that sometimes divorce is the right/super hard road to take. I read this late to help pack but if you ever need anything let me know!

Bryson's Store

Image
We didn't have Family Home Evening last night, so we had it tonight. We made a little store for Bryson to sell candy from {it was his idea this morning}. He was in HEAVEN! Dad brought boxes home from work, bought candy on the way home, then came home and we all made it together. The huggies box is his cash register. And, we used fake money from one of our board games. We'd give Bryson the fake money and then he'd give us some candy. It was SO funny. He kept saying, "This is a fun activity!" {He picked this saying up from grandpa!} Here's the front of his store. Here's the back view of his store. Here's daddy buying his candy. When Bryson thought we had boughten enough candy, he told me to take his spot so he could buy some candy. He's not stupid! Here's a video clip of one of daddy's transactions with Bryson. It's so funny....you have to watch it!

Break Dancer

We went to a wedding on Thursday night. It was a Argentine wedding so they had a ton of music and dancing. Bryson was in heaven. We couldn't get him off the dance floor! I recorded this video off of my phone so the quality isn't very good {because of the low lighing in the place}. But, hopefully, you'll still get the idea. Everyone was break dancing inside a circle. I could tell Bryson wanted to go out on the floor so bad. So, I told him to go do it. And he did. That part is at the very beginning of the video. Then, he went out and danced with everyone else. He had some good moves. I couldn't get too much on video because people kept walking in front of me. But, this should be enough to make you laugh .

Bryson's Girlfriend

Image
Bryson has a little girlfriend at church. They are so cute together {they even look alike}. They stick up for each other in nursery. If a child picks up a toy that Bryson had been playing with, she takes it away from them and tells them it's Bryson's. She is also his first kiss. You go boy!Her dad told us that last sunday she was excited to go to church. She said, "I get to see Bryson today. He's so hansome!" This morning Bryson told me that he loved her, and that they were going to get married in the temple, and give kisses and love. Too cute. We always have to let them play together after church is over because we can't seperate them. So, us parents just stand there and laugh at them. Yesterday they had a fun during their "play time". The were splashing each other with water from the drinking fountain. It was pretty funny. We hope they'll really get married. We'll have to keep in touch with her parents. Ha ha.
