Sometimes You Learn

I have come to realize that things can be shown to you in a lot of different ways, things that have been on my mind lately. Sometimes I bottle up the way I am feeling, I do this thinking that I will soon get over them...usually taking longer than I expect. I was starting to be mad at myself for not being a good person and thinking like a good person should. I feel like I let dissapointment and discouragement get the best of me. This last week, however, something was shown to me...in a way I never thought it would be. I hope now that I can move on, I hope that I can move past old thoughts of dissapointment and discouragement and become stronger and more confident. I can do this, because I will have help. On my journey of moving on, I am sure I will be bumped off track a few times. I am blessed with good family and friends that will listen to my downer moments and then will tell me to move on and get over it. My thoughts will guide me with help from above and will show me how to be a better person.

Best of all I will have my husband. He will be understanding, encouraging, and will push me to be stronger, because of his strength and confidence.

It will be a journey, one that I am not sure when it will end but it will end. Wish me luck.

Walking

Husband got changed to a new shift. It used to be that as of Wednesday night he was prettymuch comatose. Now, instead of staying up for 36 or so hours after his Tuesday night shift, he gets to come home and sleep for a few hours before landscaping on Wedsnesday.

Tonight...we went on a walk.

Wonderful.

Also wonderful: Living in a neighborhood to actually be able to take a walk. An awesome blessing!

Two word Tuesdays

My Husband

Just Dance

I have two perfect little girls and I sometimes take that for granted. I love them. They make me laugh, older sis likes to do the "stiff dance" and baby sis likes to be tickled...when they can't stop laughing, neither can I. I love music and dancing and tickling. I just wish I had a magic photographer/videographer to follow us around during fun times like these.

I am so excited we know the true way for them to be with husband and I for eternity. We were sealed in the Holy Temple 5 years ago and we know we will be with eachother forever...really forever...it just gives me goose bumps when I think about it.

The fourth verse of my most favorite hymn explains why:

There is no end to virtue;
There is no end to might;
There is no end to wisdom;
There is no end to light.
There is no end to union;
There is no end to youth;
There is no end to priesthood;
There is no end to truth.

How is that something you cannot look forward to sharing with your children?
And, the priesthood, oh the priesthood. A lot of people say that they don't know where they would be without the Church in their lives. As for me, I don't know where I would be without the Priesthood in my life.

Church

We were late today and sat on the couch. It is always crazy without husband there to help, but it always seems to work out fine when I look back at the day.

I have great friends at church, especially the ones who know when to jump in and help and know exactly what to do to help me out…ie:holding my hungry 7 month old while her 6 month old is asleep…while I take care of some stuff for my calling.

I love good friends who can juggle multiple babies at once,

even if aforementioned friend is moving away from me.

This last week we were able to find the most awesome people to rent our house…

  When we first decided to move away from our little house, I just knew it would be so hard to leave. I mean, it was the house where we brought our babies home, this house had seen heartache as our family struggled to grow, and heard laughter as we started to grow too big for the two rooms,  it made our family strong and happy.

   Then we found the perfect little family to take over. I knew that Heavenly Father had led them to us. I was talking to the Mrs. that will be taking over my duties in our little house on Ft. Nugent Road, and she mentioned that God had truly helped them find us. As she told me that, I knew he actually helped US find THEM.

Our house will be taken care of, I sometimes think that she will keep it nicer than I ever did :) That makes my sadness go away.
