Happiness

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Santa Barbara, California. How about you? This is my blog. My name is Megan Abbott.

I am always wondering where would be the best place to live. Is it Maryland with it's beautiful greenery? Utah, with it's fabulous mountains? California with it's beaches and family? Or is it Arizona? Upon returning from a lovely Thanksgiving break in California (thank you, Doug and Sheelah!) and with Breaking Dawn, from the Twilight Saga, still seared onto my memory, I will now discuss the argument of Team California versus Team California, I mean Arizona. Team California: -I grew up there. -Lovely weather -Sweet people. -Family, and lots of it! -Beaches. -In n Out -Lovely shopping. Team Arizona -Great weather. -Beautiful vistas and sunsets. -In n Out. -Stretches and stretches of desert (which I love). -An uncle and nephew and a nice distance from family. -Cheap...

Asher came home from Kindergarten today with such cute books, I had to share! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I am thankful for the green grass. I am thankful for the brown hills. I am thankful for my family and myself. He threw in an extra girl in our family. There is still someone to come to our family. It made me smile! Happy Turkey Day! This is my blog.

My Parents visited and were a HUGE help. Thanks, Mom and Dad! *With the kiddos here. Finally- some ok smiles. Guessing time again- which one is which? Does this game ever get old? Ok. I'll tell you- Ethan is in blue and Jonah red. Of course! Asher, age 5 Flowers brought from the Relief Society President. Lovely, no? This is my blog. My name is Megan Abbott.

My Mormon.org Profile I recently updated my profile, changed my picture and added the fact that we live in Arizona now. It's a fun project to work on. Josh has a profile too! Love it! This is my blog. My name is Megan Abbott.

via internet Ok. One more blog post about this past couple of weeks, and then I am done. In the midst of this trial, I had a dream. In it we had moved close to the Kleinmans and the Andersons and Ellen and Jason were visiting with their two kids. There was bread dough rising on the counter and I was tickling their baby boy, who was about one, and making him laugh. I laughed and people were in awe of how happy I was. I was truly happy and I realized- there is more to life than just ourselves. We are entwined with all the people we love- mostly family. I saw MaryRuth, her hair up in a long ponytail, and gave her a big hug. This week Diane Hill, my visiting teacher, came and brought us a banana cream pie. People in your ward can act as your surrogate family. They can love you, watch over you and make you happy. From this dream, this is what I know: We feel our Savior's Love when we spend time with our families, when we serve others unselfishly and when we use our talents for good (bak...

The second round of medicine they gave me did nothing, so they had to schedule a D and C. I had one with my last miscarriage as well. We went in on Friday morning for a consult and since the Dr. I was seeing could only do it on Wednesday and we wanted to get it done sooner, we waited to see another Dr. who could do it earlier. The Dr. was very sweet and we scheduled it for Saturday at 10 am. My Mom and Dad were able to watch the kids for us, so that helped a lot. Friday, I was actually feeling fine instead of sick which the medicine made me, so my Mom and I ran around shopping and going to a very fun Holiday Boutique. We also hit Target and Joanns, ate a yummy homemade pizza dinner and then Josh and I went to a session at the Temple for Stake Temple Days. It was a very fun, busy day- to make up for the days I had spent waiting around to miscarry. 8 am found us at the hospital. I had not eaten or drank anything and by the time 9:30 am came around you had a still pregnant woman, sitting ...
