Happiness.... As all of you know for the past 2 years now I have been going thru a nasty ugly divorce. As of October 21, 2011 my DIVORCE IS FINAL!!!! In May of 2011 I met someone... He is HEAVEN SENT and an answer to my prayers. We started talking about the first of May and had our first date on May 5th. From the first moment I saw him I knew there was something about him and well I guess you can call it LOVE at FIRST SIGHT.... We went to a movie (THOR) then to dinner (APPLEBEES) at the District. After dinner we talked for hours and just didn't want to go home. But finally we both decided we should each go to our own homes and talk the next day. Our second date was on May 6th and we haven't been apart since. I am so in LOVE with him and love how he know's I am a packaged deal (me and my girls) He is so wonderful with them and loves each of them so much! I am the luckiest girl on EARTH!!!! Without further adue.... here is a few pictures of Cameron and I and also our happy little family!

Festival of Colors....

The girls and I went to the Festival of Colors in Spanish Fork at the Dalelamma Temple it was so much fun. One of the many adventures the kids and I have had since we have our new life.

Things are going well and every day gets better and better. We have moved to Lehi into an apartment just within the past week. We are near Thanksgiving Point and look forward to spending the summer together and having many more adventures.

Ready for a NEW Chapter in our lives...

I CAN & WILL...

A new chapter to the book...

(petragliff/my new chapter)

For those of you who don't know Steve and I have been separated for about a month now. Things just aren't changing and so I must now turn the page and begin a new chapter. I know that I will be a better person for making this decision not only for Myself but also as a MOTHER to 3 of the greatest gifts Steve ever gave me. I know this isn't going to be easy but I CAN & WILL get through this and will be a better person because of it. I am so very grateful for my very supporting family and friends that will help keep me going at this stage of my life. But most importantly I am forever grateful for my Heavenly Father who has continued to help and guide me in the decisions I am making. I know he lives and is my Savior, Redeemer & Comforter and he will continue to be there for me.

I love you all and hope you will continue to be my friends regardless of the current events in our life.

MUCH LOVE,
TERESA

Weekend get away to ST. GEORGE

During the kids Spring Break we took a little trip to St. George to see my Dad & Karen. We had such a great time going Swimming, Hiking, sitting by the fire making Smores & Shopping. We heard the Coyotes howling & frogs croaking during the night it was so beautiful and peaceful! Me and the girls had a great time and can't wait to go back!!! Thanks Dad & Karen for such a beautiful weekend!

Waiting for everyone to arrive...

Kenli & her sisters...Hayli & Gracie HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER

mmmmm CAKE

On January 3rd it was Kenli's 5th Birthday. We had the family over for dinner, cake & ice cream. I can't even start to begin to believe that she is 5 years old now. How time has flown by with her in our family.

We waited so long for her to come yet it seems like yesterday that we found out we were pregnant with her...after 2 years of fertility & 8 years between Hayli and her. What a great addition she made to our family. The day she was born was such a beautiful winters day with Steve, Hayli & my Mom in the room waiting for her arrival. She was an easy birth and Hayli even tried to help cut the cord with her DADDY. (she freaked out a bit so Dad finished the job)

Kenli we are so grateful you are a part of our family and love you to pieces. Happy Birthday we love you so very much!!!


Kenli wanted to have a Cinderella cake so her Aunt Natalie made one for her! Thanks Natalie you are so creative. KENLI LOVED HER CAKE!!!
