i watch as the kids spend hours in the yard! finding bugs,catching critters and enjoying the absolutely unbeatable Arizona spring weather! they are literally growing before my eyes! and i just wish i could make time stand still, or slow down, because i am not done loving on them right now, just the way they are!
I am grateful...
for my husband, he makes my life amazing! i am truly, madly and deeply in love with him! and we have so much fun together, i am just so grateful that he is mine! :)
I am thinking about...
the saviors life, as i have learned more about it, the more i have decided that every thing he said and did, every miracle he performed, all the pain he went through wasn't just done because he was Jesus and that's "how he rolled" but, that they all had a deeper meaning, and it was all planned out from the very beginning! that there is no way it couldn't have been! that from his premortal existence, to his birth to his atonement, and resurrection, all they way to when he will come back again... it all touches, all woven in this amazing plan. and then it hit me, our lives have an amazing intricate plan too! that all of the things we go through in this life, and all the trials and experiences and people we come across, have been strategically placed, for our growth! and it makes me happy to know that even tho i am not the savior of this world, that heavenly fathers plan for me, is no less important to him. that i am no less important to him, that we all are so loved by him! its truly amazing to me! just something I've been thinking about...
From the schoolroom...
i see growth! i see things coming together for them in these fun little "ah-ha" moments, where a light bulb turns on and there sweet little faces light up! i hear ivy singing her ABC's all the way through! (and getting it right!) and she is sounding out cvc words and reading!! and William getting more and more confidant! and seeing the determination in them as each hurdle is cleared, just makes my heart ache with joy and renews my hope and determination to help them succeed!
From the kitchen...
i am morning the loss of ice cream and other sweets as i try and reach my goal weight before my little sisters wedding in June.
I am reading...
a mish mosh of stuff, from better homes and gardens and family fun magazines, to more heavy books like the handmaids tale. and of course, the book of Mormon and other church publications.
I am hoping...
to be able to bike 20 miles a day 5 days a week to finally get back to where i should be physically!
to get my house/life in order! because i am tired of feeling like i am drowning in clutter, chores , and choices!
oh and to get our new floors in before summer!
I am praying...
for guidance. i get SO lost sometimes, and i just need the spirit to help me find my path.
also praying for i kinder and softer heart. because i feel life i have built up some walls that need to be knocked down but i am not sure that i am ready to let my heart be that vulnerable yet.
A few plans for the rest of the week...
we got a Dr.Seuss party and a musical theater production of school house rock to attend! as well as allergy testing! yay!
a picture to share...
"look mom!! i look just like you!"
