Trying to get help

My husband and I are having marital problems, related to our religion. We are LDS (mormons). My husband is having a spiritual mid-life crisis of sorts and wants to leave the church. I do not. We have started marriage counseling. I don't know if it will help (we've only gone one time). I hope it will help, I want it to help, but I just don't know. I've been reading lots of "mormon" blogs lately. Trying to get answers that I don't think my Bishop is capable of giving. He is a nice enough guy but new at serving as a Bishop and I just don't think he can think "outside the box" on issues. I could give some examples of counsel he has given friends, but I won't.

Suffice it to say, things are tough right now.

Blah

It is the January blahs. Although we haven't had any snow to speak of, I am still feeling it. Short tempered with kids, pent up in the house all day, nowhere fun to go, clothes that are too tight, the list goes on and on. And a marriage that is in a serious rough patch on top of it all. At least when February rolls around I can sense that spring will be upon us sooner rather than later.

Cowboy boots

Why do little boys (the 5 and under crowd) look so adorable in cowboy boots! I've just decided all of my boys need a pair!

Changes coming

I need an outlet. Maybe blogging will be it? I have a family blog which I love doing. Lately I've needed more. I don't want to be too personal on the family one, after all it is about the entire family. So this will be where I can be as personal as I want without fear of what my family or friends may think of me. I am a 35 year old woman. I am currently married and have 3 young sons. My world revolves around them. I am trying to change that starting in 2010. I need to do things for myself. I need to be me, not just mommy.
So here it starts.......
