Discovery Center

Fridays at the Discovery Center are free!! Yesterday Abi and her BFF Bailey got together and went exploring. There was soooo much to see and do. They had bubbles to blow, green screens, and pennies to roll. Abi had so much fun she didn't want to leave. The best thing about the Discovery Center is they encourage you to touch everything! It is a kids dream!

Cowboys and Cotton Candy

On Tuesday, August 16th I found out that I won tickets to The Caldwell Night Rodeo. I was so excited!! Nothing is more exciting than a rodeo! So Abi and went and picked up our tickets on Thursday and that night we went to the rodeo. (We also had to buy Abi a pink cowgirl hat.) Abi kept asking why the cowboys were tying up the calves. I told her that the calves were escaping and the cowboys had to stop them. She seemed to accept that theory. When I asked Abi what her favorite part of the rodeo was she said she liked it when the horses kept trying to get the cowboys off their back. My favorite part was the bull riding. There were some great eight second rides.

The Big "D"

Many of you already know this but for those of you that don't, I have filed for divorce. I hope this doesn't come as a shock, but it was something I felt needed to be done. I have spent many nights praying and pondering this huge decision and with the help of an amazing bishop I know it's the right thing to do.
I want to try and answer some questions you all may have... But instead of trying to do that here and bore you all to death; call me, email me, text me or Facebook message me. I am more than willing to talk about it.
It has been a very emotional time for both Abigail and I. I feel like I have been beat up but also feel like I have grown up so much. I have come to realize how many "real" friends I have and I've realized that my life is so much better when I do what I know I should be doing. I feel like I have been through the darkest night but I feel that I have had someone here with me helping me push on.

I am going to try and update this blog as much as possible and keep everyone up to date on what is happening with Abigail and I. I am so excited for the future. I know that Heavenly Father has so many things in store for me and also for Abi. I pray that I will have the faith to follow his promptings. He has never lead me astray.

The Many Faces of Miss Abigail Pickle Pants!

We've discovered that Abi has realized that she can make us laugh. She has started to make faces and stick her tounge out. On Memorial Day she was sitting in her high chair eating and I looked over and she had this huge smile on her face. I ran and got the camera and she wouldn't do it again. (Isn't that the way it always is!!) So finally after waiting for a while she did it again! Everyone started laughing so she started making other faces.
