I haven't really given any thought to what I am going to post today. I just knew I needed to post to update my "Journal".
I do have the greatest life ever. I have the best husband in the world, the cutest little girls, a WONDERFUL family (my family & hubbies Family), EXCELLENT friends, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
My Hubby has gon
e back to school.....this is a trial in my life. He is going to school and working full time. I see him about 1 1/2 hours a day!!! During lunch time. He leaves around 7am for school gets home about 1pm leaves again promptly at 2:20 just to get to work on time. Then he comes back home anywhere from 9pm to 1am. So when I say I miss my husband I really mean it. I guess I am what you call a weekday widow. This is why he is the best in the world. He loves me!!! He is doing all of this for me and our girls. He is doing this so we will have a better life. So I can stay home and raise the Monkey and the Bug. He makes time to hold our girls and hug them and kiss them. He calls me on his short breaks at school and work. I am so grateful for him. He honors his Priesthood. He is worthy of it. He gives me and my girls blessings when we need them and he always puts the Lord first in his life. Amongst all that he does he takes time to serve others and takes institute classes. AMAZING!!! I love him so much. :)
The cutest girls in the world live in my home. I guess I might just be biased. But what can you say? Monkey is so sweet. She is so full of life. (so much that I usually can't keep up with her) She loves her friends. She talks about them all the time. She says the funniest things. Sometimes it isn't what she says that makes me laugh it is the way she says them. I love watching her try to do things that are so grown up. I have to keep a close eye on her after dinner because she will pick up her plate or bowl and take it to the bathroom to wash in the sink. She wants to help out. She loves her sister. And is very interested in making her happy. She is also interested in making me happy. Sometimes
when I need it, she'll say to me, "I love you mom!"
The Bug is as sweet as honey. She has the cutest smile and the cutest little giggle and the Rolliest Polliest thighs I have ever seen. We sing her the song, "Roly Poly" from the movie, "Pillow Talk" She loves watching me when someone else is holding her. She also knows when I am getting tired or stressed, because she will snuggle right in to let me know she loves me. I don't know how children know when their mommies need it but they do.
My family and hubbies family came all the way up here for the Bugs blessing. They support us with all we do. They brought so much food and left it with us. My mom the other day, when I was having a bad day, sent me a text just to let me know she loved me. Although it was just a small thing it made me feel better and have a better day. She didn't know how I was feeling, but she knew she needed to do it. My Hubby's mom calls me too. Just to see how things are going. She is just as addicted to biggest looser as I am. Wow. We compare notes about it and usually we feel the same way about the contestants.
My sisters are so sweet and I love them so much. They are planning on coming to visit me on the 15th. I love it when they make that long trek up just to spend a couple hours with me.
I thought about writing down all my friends names.....but I don't want to risk missing anyone. I have such great friends. That love me even though I am crazy sometimes. Even though I can be annoying and tired and I complain and I talk to much. Wow!! Good friends.
I am so Lucky to live in a time when the Gospel of Jesus Christ is on the earth. So lucky!! The Gospel has taught me so much. Just one story that I forgot to write down. Last summer Monkey got dehydrated.....so bad that the Dr. said if she didn't improve by the next day he wanted her to come into the hospital. She was vomiting and her pee was almost the color of coffee. I was worried sick! I was also very confused as to why my little lady was so dehydrated. I had been giving her a sippy cup full of water everyday. It was up to her to drink it. I prayed to my Heavenly Father to help her, my husband gave her a blessing and we left it up to the Lord to fix her. Shortly after that she began drinking water and started doing better. By the next day she was perfect. :) I know it was the Lords hand that protected my little girl, that made her better. After a while I was thinking what did I need to learn from this experience? As I was thinking I couldn't get it out of my head how confused I was to why she was dehydrated. Then I started thinking about my Father in Heaven. He must feel the same way I did. He has given us the Living Water and all we have to do is to partake of it. By reading the scriptures and praying and attending the temple. He has given us all we need to survive in this life. How often do I dissappoint my Father because I am not drinking the Living Water He has given me? I took that as my lesson learned. I need to partake everyday. I need to pray all the day long. and every time I feel myself starting to fall behind on my nourishment I think of my experience with my daughter. I am grateful for the knowledge I have of the truthfulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am grateful for my Father in Heaven and His Son. They have done so much for me. I truly do have a blessed life.
