Good Bye Beautifull Georgia

It all started out in the begging of 2004 when we decided to move from Hurricane, Utah to Georgia . We came out with a blind fold over our eyes we had no idea what to expect, and we found a great place with great people.

We will be moving at the end of Aug. to go back to Utah. Here is a little of adventure of what has happened over the years.





This is our 2nd house that we bought at 23 years old.



We moved right after Charity turned 3 years old



This was our first Christmas out in Ga Charity even started his first day of school here. We even meet alot of cool people. We miss you Bentley's Charity even got a little sister here. Destiny is our little Ga peach.


I even went to the temple the first time and got my personal endowments. Sorry cant find those pics.


We meet good friends And have grown up with good friends



The best of friends we have found in Georgia that we will keep for ever



And enjoyed good times with them, I have been so blessed with a bunch of good
friends. Which also include the Hills they have taken us in as family
and included us in every family event. We love you Tommy and Phyllis.

We have even had our first garden in Ga

Found out we were going to have another baby Charity got baptised at 8 years old Saw it snow in Ga. (which is very weird).
And had our 3rd baby girl



We even had serenity Blessed (well in utah) but came back to Ga to realize how much we need our family out west. So much has happened here in Ga and have not been able to share with our family and friends out west.

And thats when we started praying about moving back to utah. The lord has let us know that it is time to move back after 5 long fun filled years of adventure here in Ga. We will miss you all here in Ga and hope to be back to visit.

Love the Campbells .

We ask for your help!

After a lot of praying and contimplating we have decided that it is time for our family to move back to utah. We are kinda in a hard spot right now with what she should do with our house?. So we are asking every one we know for help spread the word that our house is for sale by owner for $99,000. or for rent with one year lease for $900 a month plus deposit of $900. If any other offers come up just let us know and we can talk.



Thanks so much

SERENITY HAS JOINED THE OUTSIDE WORLD!!

Serenity Lyn Campbell is here

She was born on April 16Th 2009

7lbs 12oz 19inches long

It Has been a long journey for the arrival of this beautiful little girl. We thought that she might come on Easter when i went to the hospital at 3 am with contractions every 3-5 mins. I labored for a while and got all the way to 4 1/2 almost 5 cm 80 effaced and 0 station.

I had a midwife apt. on Wed. 15 and I really felt impressed to ask the midwife what options I had to get my labor started.(since my mother in law was going to be leaving on next Wed. and Landon works an hour away)So the midwife(there are 7 of them that work there)told me she would start me the next day with Pictocin.Which I was really scared to do because I really wanted to go though labor with no medication. So we set the time for induction for 2pm on the 16Th.

Thursday the 16th is here and I find my self some what nerves but ready to get this over with so I could be holding that beautiful girl in my arms. So we arrive early and get checked in. After that they get me settled in my room and on the monitor to see how every thing is. Monica the midwife that was on call that day came in and I asked her if she would be willing to break my water first before she starts pumping me full of meds. She thought that would be a great idea. So she broke my water around 2:20pm and I layed in bed to let all the water go out for about 30 mins. Then I took one stroll around the maternity ward and felt things progressing. So I went and sat on the birth ball and that's when my contractions started. So I had a few more contractions on the ball and then I started to get really uncomfortable and went to lean on the hospital bed. The foot side was lowered so I leaned over on a few pillows on the bed and had a few real bad contractions in my lower back. So I told my mother in law to call some one to check me and see were i was in dilation. By the time the nurse got there i was feeling the urge to push so she yelled for the Midwife and she came running. When the midwife got there I couldn't help but push. I was crowing and could stop. So on all fours i pushed a few times maybe 4 and there was Miss Serenity.

So all in all 1hour and 2o mins. Less than 10 contractions and around 4 pushes were way worth all that false labor,thinking that i was leaking fluid and hospital visits. The Lord really does have a plan for every one and if we listen to our hearts and ask him he will deliver our answer to our prayer. I totally thought IT would have been delivered in a different way but I had faith and it came in a way that I would have never thought..

Thanks for reading my birth story and Hope you can get to know Serenity and how wonderful she is..

An Almost Baby Update!

I'm sorry i can't give you the best update because there still is no baby yet. On Easter morning I went into the hospital with contraction ranging from 3- 5 Min's apart. I got there and i was only 3 cm. Then my contractions started to slow down so I did a whole lot of WALKING they picked back up enough to get me to 4 1/2cm a stretchy 5. Then the contractions just diminished into nothing. So here I am Wed. morning almost 5 cm getting ready to go to my 39 week midwife visit. Thinking what is in store for me today.. He he he he. I just have to stay in good spirts and know that the lord has a plan for Serenity and I. What I'm really hoping is that I'll get to my appointment and they say what the heck lets break your water and get that big Ole baby out of there. They are thinking Serenity is at least a good 8lb baby.. Well till my next post every one take care!!!

Family Update

So I just wrote this huge blog entry and put some photos on and I accidental exited the page and lost the entry so this one wont be so big...

We will start off with charity getting baptized her birthday is Feb 13Th and she turned the big 8.. We waited to get her baptized until the next week. It turned out really great and the spirit was strong there. I am so proud of Charity taking the next step to her eternal happiness. What a wonderful spirited little girl. Its kinda hard to believe that she wasn't raised in the church all her life. We started attending when she was 3 almost 4. She has just taken the teaching of the church in and ran with it. She always has questions and wants to learn more. I really hope that she stays this way Thur her youth. When I saw charity in her beautiful white dress i realized that the next time i see her gleaming like that it will be on her wedding day (hopefully in the temple), that day seems for far away but so close.

This is charity and Tommy Hill. Tommy is her grandpa that she acquired when we moved to Georgia.

This is a very tiny picture of the family after the baptism.. I couldn't get it any bigger with out it looking totally weird!

This is Landon and destiny after the baptism

Charity and I

This is the whole family that was able to make it. The Hilll's and the Campbell's

The last order of business is how I'm doing with my pregnancy..Well i still have that wonderful little girl in my tummy and let me tell you there is not enough room in there for both of us to be comfy and she won that battle. I went to the midwife office on Wednesday 18Th and they said that i was already dilated to a 2 and she was really low and that I could go any day now. I'm just going to try to keep this little one in ass long as possible so she nice and healthy. So that means totally taking It easy. Which sucks because there is so much that needs to be done before our beautiful little girl joins us in this world. I feel like the oven has been on high for a while and its about to over heat and the bread is still a little doughy...So i will be 36 weeks on Sunday the 22ND and i would love one more week to bake that bread..lol I'm such a dork!!!

Here is one of those totally embarrassing pics that you hate to post but I'm going to.

This me way prego...

Hopefully the next blog i post will be of serenity and the birth story.

It's Been a While!

Hey Every One,

I am sad to say that it has been a while since i have posted anything.. Our camera has had a malfunction and i feel like why post if i don't have a pic to go along with it..So i promise that i will be posting some more pics here in a while..

I will be posting some pic's of charity on her baptism day.. I am so proud that she has decided to take the first step to eternal happiness.

An update on our little serenity. Apparently she has her own agenda and wanted to come out early. I have been having so gnarly contractions. So my midwifes want me to take it easy. They even had me come in and check me to see if i have started to dilate. They also put me on the monitor to check the contractions to see if was affecting the baby's heart beat. I am happy to say it's OK so far..Just keep your fingers crossed for me.

More to come later!
