Day 12 of Carolyn

Day 12: Your highs and lows of this past year

Wow,  talk about a roller coaster ride!  The highs and lows... I remember more high's then low's so I guess that is a good thing!  And there are some that I think well, that might be considered a low but then again not really.  So how about a conflicted High/Low?  I will start with it:

My Brother Bryan was deployed to Afghanistan.  The fear and worry that went with that ~ LOW.  The amount of gratitute and love I have for him making the sacrifice for those he loves ~ HIGH!


Lows:
My Mother in Law has MRSA infection and had to go several months with out a hip.
I have struggled with the balance of work and family - a personal low point for me.  The struggle continues....


Highs:
We welcomed a beautiful Daughter to our family (8 months ago ToDaY!)
Nick was Baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  (Icing on the cake....Uncle Bryan was there and Nick was Baptized with his good friend-CoUsIn ~ BEN!)
 
Uncle Bryan has been deployed for a year now...SUPER HIGH
*HE IS ON HIS WAY HOME*
My Mother in law has a hip again and is recovering nicely! :)
We had family come visit this summer, which I loved!  I love having family come and stay with me in Kemmerer.  I miss home and bringing a bit of my "home" to my new home makes me giddy!  The Cambridge Family came for the 4th of July
My Mom came after I had Chrislyn to help me out.  THANK YOU!

Lots of Family came when Chrislyn was blessed -

No Pictures but MELANIE came and brought her girls.  A HUGE THANKS to her for coming and watching my kids for a week when I went back to work. 
I had the summer off of work ~Thanks Chrislyn ~ and I was able to enjoy the summer with my kiddos.
Our Family was able to go on "mini-trips" with some good Friends of ours. Our adopted family - -
Ray*Paige*Daxton
I hadn't seen my Friend Beth in almost a year - She came for a visit.  LOVED IT!
So those are my highs and lows.  I am sure there are more...But that would make me think!!
