18 April 2013

1. Got sandals for the boys.
2. Applied for boys' passports.
3. Swept/blowed(/blew?) the driveway.
4. Did the dishes.
5. Wrote down some cute things about the kids in the Mommy Journal from Amanda.

While I did the dishes today I felt a lot of love from Heavenly Father. I heard the words repeat in my head, "you are successful." I spend a lot of time comparing myself to others. People seem to be so good at what they do. Their houses are clean, they travel a lot, their kids eat well, speak well, etc. I believe all of that is still true, but today I felt like I, too, am a success. I am a mother--the profession I have always sought. I have a wonderful husband and beautiful children who love me and whom I love greatly. My parents are awesome and my in-laws are, too! I am so blessed!

31 March 2013

1. It's Easter! A day set aside to remember the resurrection of our Savior. I am so grateful for Him; that He loved me enough to come to Earth to pay for my sins so that if I repent I can live with my Heavenly Father again.
2. The choir did really well today. I was really nervous to be directing for the second time ever, but I had Matt give me a blessing and it all worked out.
3. I loved how Scott says, "wezawected." He's so cute.
4. Bobby stayed in nursery the whole time! He was so tired when we got home, but he fell asleep in my arms, which is always really nice.
5. I chatted on the phone tonight with Neal, and then Glenn. It was great to hear their voices. I love them.
