Happy Birthday to Me~

2008
well today has already been a great day and here are the reasons why:
  • this morning cullan came in my room and yelled "happy birthday mommy" (without being prompted at all by garran. amazing i know. but we kept telling him yesterday that today was mommy's birthday.
  • while i was dropping cullan off at mom school and doing my visiting teaching, garran was home with kael and they cleaned up the living room for me. (garran said he was planning on cleaning the whole house, but his helper was not so helpful and gave him to many distractions) i was happy with just the thought!!
  • then i got treated to lunch .... it was delicious subway!
  • i then received two of my favorite christmas movies because my sweet husband knows i am a christmas junkie and will be excited to watch them soon!
  • one of the nicest surprises was that garran decided not to go to his long class from 2-5 today so that we could spend time together. he figured it would be ok. he has not missed it all year and does not plan on missing it again. i am so glad that he is going to be around today.

so far so good. my phone has been ringing off the hook with birthday well wishers! it is nice to feel loved=) plus last night some friends and i went out for hot chocolate! what a nice birthday!

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
