Well,
What happened in Vegas was moving Kevin. What stayed in Vegas was Kevin. Unfortunately he remains there and we remain in Utah. Apparently Arianna is a daddies girl, because she has cried every night for him. This makes me cry, and I even saw him today. We are a house full of emotional girls. I hope that no one is wanting to come and spend "happy time" with us.
So, while I was in Las Vegas I decided to go running by myself. While I was running I had to go the bathroom really bad. I saw a restroom about a half a mile away so I decided to speed up and make a pit stop. As I got to the bathroom (which, by the way, I barely made it to in time), a big burly man came running up close to me and scared me to death. He was talking loudly to himself and throwing his arms all over the place. I thought "Oh great he is going to rape and murder me, and no one is going to know that I am missing until Kevin gets home from work, and then it will be way to late to save me (a little dramatic I know, but you should have seen the man)." Well, after hiding in the stalls for awhile I came out and he was stopped a few feet away from me. I began to panic and wonder what I was to do. I was a couple of miles away from his cousin's house and there was no escape. Lucky for me, he turned around a began to walk the other way. I waited for awhile for him to gain some distance from me and I began to run home. I made it home successfully, without any incidents. I then thought about how I was going to feel when I actually moved down to Vegas. Hopefully I will be able to find a running partner. No one is going to measure up to Jen. She has been the best partner ever. I am trying to talk her into moving to Vegas with us. She has declined everytime. How rude!
So, no success for selling our house as of yet. I am beginning to wonder what this is all about. I have felt strongly that it is going to sell soon, but what does "soon" mean. We are trying to have faith and do what the Lord wants us to, so at times I get discouraged with the lack of interest in our home, especially when I hear that other homes in our area are selling. I just want to be with Kevin, and I wonder if that it too much to ask. I already miss him terribly, and we are only on day one of his absence. What am I to do?

Nicole my fam totally knows what you're going thru! ugh my parents house in AZ still hasn't sold. my poor parents have been seperated too long and don't even get to be together for their 26 year anniversary. these economic crap times bite BIG! but what we've come to realize is to just trust the Lord and have faith in whatever plan he has for us. hey my email is brittanyfayegarrett@hotmail.com
i'm out of school now if you need ANY help! plus just keep me updated =) where are grandma and grandpa goin when your house sells?
Nicole---I feel your pain. Brice and the girls and I were separated for 2 months while he trained for his job and then only got him for 5 days before he came to Utah for 2 weeks. We only saw him every other weekend for 2 months...before we moved here. It is very hard. You just keep strong and come on down for chocolate and a good cry whenever you need it. I know it is so hard...especially when you have to be strong for your kids.
So yesterday evening when things were settling down here I stated "I miss Nicole already" and your husband replied "Me too"! He was home around 4:30 and helped me out so much (he even did the lesson for FHE), he will probably go crazy with all his free time here!
I was planning on going bike riding tomorrow morning with the kids on or trail...maybe I should think twice about it ;) j/k we'll just stay clear of the bathroom ;)
miss you!
k, that last comment was from me not Eric!! sorry!
Ummm..you want me to move down there just to go running with you to have big scary men attack me and make me hide in bathroom stalls??? Ha, ha...that story makes me laugh and I would have done the same thing! You need to get some pepper spray...that should scare anyone away! I'm sure you will replace me in no time, but I'm flattered...just not enough to move with you! You know...it's not too late to change your mind!
To pee or not to pee that is the question. Sorry you have to be miles away from each other, that's rough. Where is Kevin staying? Is there room for all ya'll there?
He is staying with Eric and Sarah, your cousins. It is just a temporary situation. No room for us for more than a couple of days.
I'm sorry things are so rough for you right now. I'll be sure to keep you in my prayers. I hope you will find true peace soon, it's no fun to be miserable.
Your house is so beautiful, if I could convince Eric to move (and to move clear out there, lol) I'd love to buy it. We have talked about eventually having a mother-in-law apartment for Allie when she gets older so it could be perfect. Oh well, we're probably destined to live in this old house for the rest of our lives.
I'm so glad you are safe. A scare like that is stressful.
