Yesterday Selena and I took our kids to the park. It was chilly and windy, and even though I was wearing long-sleeves, I found myself shivering at the park. When we walked in we had noticed an abandoned coat just lying on one of the picnic benches. Selena said, "Why don't you just wear that?" So I did.
Time passed and we were pushing the kids on the swings, changing poopie diapers and feeding bottles when we noticed 2 boys also at the park. Selena whispered to me, "What if that's their jacket you're wearing?" I thought this was very funny and kept trying to see whether or not they were giving me weird looks.
As we were about to load up the kids to leave I decided I had better check with the boys to see if it was in fact one of their jackets. I asked them, and the answer (thankfully) was no. I could tell they thought I was weird, and it wasn't until I walked away that I remembered that not only did I have tape holding together my sunglasses (they broke last week), but I also had about 4 holes in the back of my pants, right in the rear-area. I'm sure they went home and told their mom they saw a homeless lady at the park who had holes in her pants and was picking up random clothing and wearing it.

In other news, we are moving.
We found out a couple of weeks ago that the home we are renting is in foreclosure. Rather than sit and wait to be kicked out (not to mention keep giving money to a landlord who has been pocketing our money), we have found another home to rent. We are blessed to know the new landlords well enough to know they are trustworthy and won't stop paying their payments on the home. The best part is the house is just about a mile north of where we are living now, which means we get to stay in the same neighborhood and the same ward. I am sad to leave my amazing neighbor and friend, Shauna, but at least we will still be close!
That's about all the new stuff about us for now. I'm not into blogging lately because my camera is broken. Posts without pictures are lame.
