Grammy buys the cutest things!

Update
February was completely passed over. Sorry. I am making up for lost time with a bunch of posts today. Here is what's going on. I turned 28 and it was a really good birthday. Valentines day was also good. Kate and I ran a 5k for conjoined twins and had a very fun sister day. That night the husbands joined us for a love filled night. I got a job at a Chiropractors office on Wednesday afternoon's. I have never "loved" massage therapy but I do it cause I paid for the schooling, it's flexable and it pays well. I graduated in 2001 and got a licence back then but never worked anywhere while I had it. I haven't been licenced for about 6 or 7 years all along working at spas and now a Chiro. I have always wanted to work in a Chiro office and when my dream fell in my lap I felt the need to legalize it. I AM A LICENCED MT!! My mom and dad paid for it for me and it feels so oddly AMAZING to actually be licenced. I feel so legit. Anyway, I am working there now and for the first time I feel like I'm working where I should. One of my BIL's (Brothers-in-Law) is a part owner of a Mortgage company and he is hiring a lot of us as family to help out there. Another one of my BIL's is THE accounting manager there and is having me help out. It is like playing "Office" and the beauty is that I work when I can. So, I only work when Paul is home to watch the kids. I really like it so far. Paul is still in Chandler and still liking it. There is something so great about your husband loving what he does. It's one less struggle in life. I am the Webelo Scout leader in my ward and I'm not loving that but I'm sure I'll get something out of it...someday. Paul is in the Elders Quorum presidency...he can never help cause he works so much plus he takes a lot of over time. The kids are all doing great. Minor colds and little cuts here and there but not anything to whine about...yet they do. The Merrill's are busy but happy. This was a long post. I hope to get better at this but if I don't you'll know why...busy little mommy bee.

Yeah for posting, Parker has changed so much since Thanksgiving, (duh)
It might feel like everyday boring stuff to you, but I love the update, it really helps me feel closer to you guys.
Hi Amanda!
Funny - this is from another Paul Merrill.
I'm married & have 3 kids. Colorado. Different life.
Anyhow, greetings!
yay glad you remembered! I can't believe you ran a 5K {?}!! That's crazy. You have got some determination, I probably would be past out within the first 2 miles, or have stopped somewhere to lay down. I'm not so great at the running thing...but go girl. and I love the story of JoJo chasing Parker NOT wanting to cut her eye out...hilarious!! who thinks of that! seriously boys these day are funny.
happy belated birthday! nice job on the 5k too! how nice to have a job that has flexible hours! you've been a busy bee girl!
love all these updates! nice job on the 5K. i wish me and my sisters were as close as you and katie are. i want to come get a massage by you since you are 2 miles up the road now. do you know how much they charge?
