Finally a Date Night


Tonight we finally got out for a few hours and were able to have dinner together. I guess this was a late anniversary dinner. It was nice. We tried a place that we had never been before. It wasn't the best ever, but it was pretty good. It was nice to have a conversation without having to stop mid-sentence to say something to one of our little kiddos. Date nights are great.
After we picked up the kids from our friendly neighbors, I dropped all the boys off at home and ran to the store to get some of the basics. As I was putting the groceries in the back of the van, this white van pulled up in the spot next to me. A mother and her teenage son got out. It was freezing and the wind was blowing so hard. Anyways he approached me and said, "Can I take your cart for you". It was such a nice surprise. I thought I hope my boys are gentlemen like that, since the nearest cart return was no where close. I really appreciate those little things some days.

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
