Where does time go?

 This school year has been insane as far as trying to stay afloat at school and in our home, so this fall break is much needed to re-group with our kids. Our days seem so repetitive-work, home, kid's work, dinner, bed, and repeat. There have not been too many significant one time big events that have happened besides Aubree is a licensed driver (yikes) but I am hoping in the future we look back and see the hand of the lord that changed our lives for the better during this time. Last week, as we watched conference, we realized although our life is busy, it is not hard and we must prepare for what may become.  We must fortify our family and our relationship with God.
