Ummm . . . I really haven't posted since December?

Wow! I was surprised to see that my last post was all the way back in December. Where has 2009 gone already? These last few months have been eventful - though most of those events are not good. To make a long story short, we're unemployed, currently trying to sell a house that is worth less than half (yes, half!!) of what we paid less than 2 years ago, navigating the world of health insurance outside of an employer, and we're likely going to move sometime soon though we're not sure where. I'm sure all my friends think I've abandoned them because I don't like to talk when I'm in a funk. It feels like wallowing and I hate that.

Anyway, we're really trying to focus on our blessings. I'm confident that faith is the only good way out of this situation. What we don't or can't understand will somehow fit into Heavenly Father's grand plan for making us stronger.

I do love keeping up on my friends via their blogs during all of this. It's great to see lots of thriving going on in the midst of all the yuckiness in the world around us!!

We missed your posting for sure! And for future reference I really really hope you stay in our ward. It's amazing and sad what is going on right now and I only hope things get better for you and Nate. Let me know if I can do anything to help!

Hi Wendie- remember me? I stay connected through your mom. Sorry about your situation. Seems to be hitting everywhere. I like your blog- very creative!

Kari said...

Welcome Back!!!

I have missed you too! :) I'm really sorry about your troubles and hope that you will be given the faith and courage and strength to overcome them. And I also want you to stay in the ward, we need you guys!!!

Ditto on missing you in the blogosphere! My job got cut at the hospital here, as the project I was trying to implement is on permanent hold due to lack of funding. Personally, I have been having a hard time with it as I really liked the job. I am still kind of processing it all. It's not an easy time! I'm trying to keep an open mind and keep things in perspective, but sometimes that is easier said than done. All my best to you and Nate.

I am sorry to hear about your recent news, and yes you know I have been trying to get in touch. You are right somewhere it will all work out.
I am also looking for my new future, so I feel some of that pain.
Lets do talk soon I miss you!! Maybe you could move back here?

Hugs Wendie! What a rough time. It's so hard to see so many people struggling in this rotten economy. Keep your head up. It always works out, just not usually on our time frame!

The Calverts said...

Do you sometimes wish that Heavenly Father wouldn't have so much confidence in you? He obviously knows your tremendous capabilities and character. Trying times for sure. Seems like when it rains, it really pours. You and Nate are troopers and I'm sure you will rise above your trials even better than before. Any chance that you are considering AZ to relocate?

Melissa said...

Hope everything works out for you.

Janae said...

We all really do miss you. I have a sister who does the dissapearing act when in a funk also! We just start calling every half hour until she answers. I might try the commando method with you soon. You have been in our thoughts and prayers.

Andrea Call said...

So sorry to hear about your struggles. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Steve and Donna said...

Wendie- back again- please send me your email somehow- would love to keep in touch. So sorry I missed being in Key West with your family. My friend Sondra said she got to meet you. I wanted so much to see you again. Donna

Its like you read my thoughts! You appear to know so
much approximately this, like you wrote the ebook in it
or something. I believe that you just could do with a few % to force the
message house a little bit, however instead of that, this is wonderful blog.
A fantastic read. I'll certainly be back.

A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment.

I believe that you should write more about this topic, it
may not be a taboo matter but usually people don't talk about these subjects. To the next! Many thanks!!

I have been surfing on-line greater than three hours today, yet I never found any fascinating article like yours.
It's pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made just right content material as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.

I'm not sure exactly why but this website is loading incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end? I'll check back later and

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell
and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She
never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

Right now it looks like BlogEngine is the top blogging platform out there right now.
(from what I've read) Is that what you're using on your blog?
