Welcome Welcome!

Well we are offically privatized!!!

I think...

If you got like three emails inviting you to read my blog then maybe I did it wrong.

As far as I'm concerned, we're private.

ahhhhh.

So here's the latest!


This girl is growing up SO fast!! She has eight teeth these days...EIGHT! Unheard of at her age I swear! She bites, pulls hair, cries when she doesn't get her way and pretends she's dying when she's not getting attention...you'd think she's eleven. I don't know where my infant went but someone has replaced her with a grown up girl. It's scary.

Chris is working two jobs right now and is seriously on OVERLOAD!! He hardly ever gets to see this precious little gem so when he does, it's a happy day for everyone.

And of course we never see each other either so when we do, we get a little crazy. In N' Out was the outing of choice this particular evening and our conversation went as follows..


Chris: What are you thinking?

Tiff: I'm thinking..if someone asked me what the best decision I ever made was, what I would say..

Chris: Well what would you say?

Tiff: This cheeseburger, right now.

Seriously, is there anywhere better in the world to eat? I think not!
We both concur.

As for everything else...well it pretty much is rough right now. Seriously, this economy bites. I'm really ready for it to bounce back. Anyone else? We are just seriously struggling right now and there are days we really don't know how we are surviving. Granted we rent from our in-laws but we refuse to ask for a dime more than we have to from either of our parents because we so badly want to do it on our own. We really feel like it's important.

So between rent, water bills, phone bills, electric bills, gas, tv, no internet-can't afford it so I bum it off the neighbors (sorry guys) food, baby needs, house needs, things broken, traffic tickets (i won't even talk about it) and who knows what else, we seriously should be living in a plastic bag. It would be a whole lot easier.

Conference was seriously just so awesome for us. We really needed it. Lately I've been feeling like (with the baby and all) that I really don't get that much out of my church meetings anymore. Not in the "I don't want to" way but in the "My baby is so out of control right now don't even ask me what just happened the last three hours of my life" kind of way. But something I've realized lately is that it doesn't really matter sometimes. Sometimes, just the fact that you are where you are supposed to be, feeling the spirit-it is enough. And I've concluded that that is life.

It's so hard. In fact, it totally sucks sometimes but guess what...

If you are where you are supposed to be, feeling the spirit-you're doin alright.This is where I'm supposed to be. Home with these guys.
Doin' what we're doin, feelin' what we're feelin'.
It's hard, it's heavy, it's even sometimes slightly dysfunctional
But it's all so perfect.

I love my crazy life.
