Booo!

Happy Halloween! I truly do love this holiday! It makes me smile and now that I have an adorable baby to dress up, it's that much better. May your halloween be filled with smiles and much candy :)

Toni update - she's learning to crawl. Really she's thaaat close. It is so much fun to watch my baby grow. Two teeth later, I'm still breastfeeding and I still love her so I consider this a huge accomplishment. :) I am so blessed to have such a sweet baby girl. As of this moment she and Charlie are taking a nap together. Super cute!

Charlie is doing wonderfully well in school. He is exhausted all the time so I worry about him but he manages it all with a smile. He truly is an inspiration to me. We will be starting yoga certification and are working on becoming certified hypnotherapists. It's all just one more step to getting BOH up and running.

I passed training so now I am on the Rape Crisis Team. It is an amazing place to be and I have learned so much. It has been eye opening, scary, and very spiritual all rolled into one. I am blessed to know and work with such wonderful people.

On the Calendar: Pumpkin blow up :) (so excited!!!), and baby proofing the house (not so excited but it's a necessity).

Oh, and I just wanted you to know that I love you! Be it friend, family, or stranger, I love you for who you are, for the flaws, and for the qualities that make you you. Have an amazing day!

Keeping On

I'm so grateful for the gospel and for the light that it brings in dark places. Sincerely I was in desperate need of a spiritual boost. Little did I know how much I would truly need the uplift for the week ahead.

I'm dealing with some pretty difficult demons from my past but I believe I'm making progress :) Long story that I won't go into detail here... Call me if you're curious. (See how I bribe people to call me :)

My grandfather also passed away yesterday. He was truly an incredible man. He dedicated his life to service; service to country, service to his fellow man, and service to his church. I'm so grateful that I knew him and that I am descended from a great man. We visited with him two weeks ago and sweet Toni would always give grandpa a smile. He would touch her hand and say "sweet, sweet Toni." I'm so glad that I have that memory that I can pass down to her.

Pretty much, today's blog post is a way for me to tell myself that everything is going to be ok... not just ok but great. Even when it seems so far away. I'm truly blessed and eternally grateful for a husband that loves me and helps me when the road gets rough. I love this gospel, and I love my family. Thank you!

Coming up: trying to survive the week!
