We found an apartment in Pleasant Grove. It is a town home and much bigger than any of the other apartments we saw (which doesn't mean that it's big..just bigger than the rest) still half of my stuff ended up in storage. I was expecting that since we lost over 500 square feet and a garage in the move!! At least we have a good landlord who will take care of anything we need to have fixed, so that is a blessing.
I have been wondering lately about family. I am trying to instill in my children a sense of family but I am beginning to wonder why I bother. I know that sounds awful but I feel like it's just not that important to my "family" and maybe it shouldn't be important to me. I sent birthday cards to all of my nieces and nephews last year and the only contact I got was when I forgot one. Every time I have a get together I can count on the people who show up being 98% friends (Damon's family shows up even less than mine..his one niece has come twice in the entire time we have been together..the rest of his family has not even come that many times) yet I go to every thing I possibly can that I am invited to! I try not to let it bother me, but it does. Oh well..If I have learned anything in my 38 years on this planet it's that you cannot make someone else want something, do something, or feel something just because that's what you want.
