RIGHT NOW



I have just been thinking about how blessed I am right now. I have an amazing husband who does so much for me, who works so hard, and is always there for me. We love to laugh and play together, and I love that. I have a beautiful baby girl who brings so much joy into my life. When she smiles she lights up the room, When she laughs I laugh, she pulls the funniest faces. She has the most sweet sincere little spirit, I've loved watching her grow these last 5 (almost 6) months. There have been times in my life when I am looking forward to something, and I think when that comes to pass then I'll be happy... but those things come and go and I find myself looking for the next temporary thing. But, right now I'm literally enjoying every moment! the Lord has blessed our little family so much and I am truly grateful. President Thomas S. Monson says it best (as he always does) "This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now." So here I am, enjoying the journey.

Family Fun!


For the 4th of July weekend we went up and stayed in Jordan's grandparents cabin on bear lake! We had a blast! It was Peyton's first time there and on a boat ... she didn't love the boat thing at first but she warmed up to the idea by the end of our trip.
