Almost done!!

It is so so so crazy to think that our journey here in Kansas is coming to an end.I wanted to write a post, mostly to document for myself my feelings about this experience.
Boy has this been an adeventure! It has been so fun to see what another state has to offer and do some things here that we don't have back home in Utah.
This experience has been a lot different than I thought that it would be. It has been easier in the fact that I am LOVING having friends so close that I can literally walk across the parking lot and hang out with a number of different people. I have built some really great relationships with people that I just met through this job and I have gotten to build and make better, ones that I already had. I am so lucky that I got to come out here with so many friends. Honestly, would never have been okay with doing this if it wasn't for them!
This experience has been so much harder than I thought it would be in that it is such an emotional rollercoaster! There is no telling what the day is going to hold and no 2 days are the same. Rob can have this best week ever and then the next week have his work week. It is hard to see others having success when you aren't and hard not to be jealous of that too. I have learned that what everyone else does in there lives has no affect on what is happening in mine so there is no reason to compare it because everyones situation is different.
I am so grateful for the success that Rob has had with this job! It was a true test of faith coming out here because there is literally NO way of knowing how well you are going to do at this job til you get out here and do it and this is NO easy job! It is so awesome to see that Rob is #11 out of 272 first years doing this and #61 out of 380 people total. I would say that is success! He is working SOOO hard to make a better future for our family and I am so grateful for that! This job definitely is not for everyone. Our relationship has grown so much because I appreciate him a ton for working so hard and such long days and he is realizing just how much I do when I stay home and cook, clean, do laundry and take care of 2 super active kids all day.
Although some days (especially lately) I have a hard time keeping a positive attitude, I am still glad that we chose to come do this. I have a whole new respect for Rob and am so grateful that he is so willing to do whatever it takes to provide for our family. I have definitely grown closer to my kids and found alot more joy in being a mom and building a real relationship with Kaydence, now that she is getting older and more strong willed. I am so lucky to be their mom!! I couldn't ask for 2 better kids! I think that when I get home I will look back on this and realize that I have taken much more from this experience than just the obvious things.
I have a stronger testimony of prayer and how much it helps in our lives. There are so many days that I don't know how I am going to make it all day without freaking out or crying and I feel so lucky to know that all I need to do is pray and I will recieve the comfort and the strength that I need to make it just one more day. My dad gave me a bracelet when he got sick and it says "One Day At A Time" on it and I have tried to wear it every day this summer to remind me that every day here is different and there is a great chance that if today is crappy, tomorrow will be better. :)
I am SOOO excited to get back to our home and life back there! I have missed my family and friends so much! I really have taken for granted having my whole family live so close and having so many friends that I am still in contact with. Things will definitely be different when I get back!
The kids and I will flying home on Monday (for my little sis Cassie, her hubby and baby to get sealed in the Temple, YAY!) and Rob will be home the next week, when the season is over with. Can't wait to see everyone and wish us a safe trip home! :)
