Utah Trip

We spent 10 days in Utah. It was fun and stressful all at the same time. We spent 3 days in Logan with Straton and Lauren and we spent 6 days with my family. 

The hardest part was my stress level. I've never traveled with so much stress. Right now I was going through 2 launches with clients and honestly I just felt overwhelmed. Things were not done on time from team members, My phone was not receiving text, everyone wanted to see us so we were driving a lot of places. 

There were many times where I had so much anxiety - I just wanted to run. I felt like I was dropping the ball and letting all my clients down. It was awful. 

It was especially bad on Friday when I went to lunch with Melynda. I was so distracted trying to get wifi so I could check email - I was so frustrated! I stopped the car 3 times trying to get signal and then Sydney had to pee. 

I was falling apart. I just wanted it to stop. 

I felt like a failure and that I should just quit. 

I write this because I am sure  my girls will feel the same - that Tyson will feel the same. But God can strengthen us and can help us take a deep breath and start again. For so long I remember wanting to just be perfect - but then I realized that I would not rely on God's grace if I was. I rely on my clients grace and my families grace to help me through. 

I know I am not perfect and many times it feels like even trying my absolute best is not enough - but God also let's me know "it's ok" and he makes up the difference. 

Other than that, Utah was fun. It was great to see family.

Fun Activities Lately

This week we are in Utah but last week Colorado had gorgeous weather! So I took the girls to the zoo while Tyson studied for an interview.

We also attended a birthday party for Eloise in our ward. The girls had a blast in the playground. They got to decorate their own cupcakes. I had a great time talking to Jen Morris - the mom from the ward that I had never really talked to. She was wonderful!

Then a few days later the Blakely's scored free tickets to the Rockies baseball game and we all crammed into the car  (Tyson got the trunk seat) and we set off. We scored sweet parking for a dollar and had a great time. I have to say after 2 hours I was pretty much done but the girls had a great time. The seats were also pretty amazing.
