Three day weekend? How about four!

I am snuggling in bed longer and found a floor in the spare room. The door can now be left open, no more boxes (it's about time right) and no more crayons where dogs can find them. This long weekend was a success! Tonight we are taking the kids to Crystal Palace with a family in our ward. Great ending before I sulk over working tomorrow.

What started as a crappy day (literally. THREE piles of it in different areas of the house. The dogs may be banned . . . .for a couple of days), has became such an inspiring one. While airing out the house, I decided chocolate was in need. Plus it would make the house smell sweeter. Pinterest did not let down with its almond joy bars. I quickly tried to go over my church lesson that I had prepared while telling three children and a husband to quite messing around and get ready. Such a fun task. I sent them out to put dirt in some bottles for my object lesson on sin. Sacrament meeting went over and my two year old started throwing things back and forth over pews with a little girl. I never feel equipped to teach, but today something clicked. And I know it was not of my own power that I shared all that I did today. I am on cloud nine. So grateful. With my hard work of studying and praying, I place the rest in The Lord's hands and he guided me and the class. What a blessing it is to know that I am never alone in any of my tasks. So be inspired today. No matter how you'd assume your day would turn out. Put it in His hands and be lifted.

Love day

Rae Day. . . .

Today we celebrate another bday

When you lose someone you overthink everything you ever did or said to them. For five years I have been guilt tripping myself over those memories of fighting and crying with my sister. But this year my heart has changed. I miss that relationship. Not the one we could've should've had, the one that was raw and real. When one of us was being a brat we made it known. When we were proud we said it. I miss that in my life. No silly games or pity praising to be a friend. We already were that. I know my sister knew that I loved her then and that I love her still. And if she didn't, I am sure the Big Man Upstairs surely would have relayed my message by now lol. I miss what we had. She was truly irreplaceable.

January is full of bdays!!

Happy b-day family, Happy b-day to you!

Remember Logandale? We went earlier this month & I forgot to blog it?
