just cause~

do any of you blog just because..
i am blogging because i have had a long but wonderful weekend. i got to have a semi girls night before the saturday night adult session of stake conference. my friend mandy and i went to dinner and then did a little shopping! today i attended stake conference with garran and the boys. it was wonderful although i have to admit i was a little sad that it is no longer here and now we have to travel an hour to get to the new stake center. oh well. it was fun to ride and talk with garran and listen to the boys sing in the back. plus the boys got to see my husbands family this weekend and they always enjoy that!
i am also blogging because i secretly feel overwhelmed by the upcoming month.
it seems that we have something big going on every single week including just our regular schedule which is hectic in and of itself. so here we go-
WEEK ONE:
this is my week to teach mom school. so i am working on my lesson and getting things ready for that. i also scheduled the mandatory mom field trip for this week that each mom is supposed to plan. we are going to a fire station. i think the kids will love it, i just hope i make it through it.
VOTE!
then on saturday we are going to be celebrating garrans dads birthday!
WEEK TWO:
mom school. plus i have to take cullan to get a full physical. later in this same week we have to take him to a hospital and have a dental procedure done. the stinky thing is, is that he has to be put completely under. ARGG! it makes me nervous. but i want him to have good teeth. oh yeah and that weekend my parents are coming up=) that part should be fun!
WEEK THREE:
mom school. i have an ob appointment for this baby. i am excited to have another ultrasound just to make sure that our lil miss is definitely a lil miss and not a lil mister!! the i turn 28 on the 18th!! it is so weird for me to type that. i can't imagine that i am two years away from 30. i still think of myself as 21. it's like my brain froze my aging process at 21, or maybe im just crazy!
the one exciting thing about this week is that we head to nauvoo! i can't wait. we are taking the boys, and i think they will have a lot of fun.
WEEK FOUR:
hmmm.... basically thanksgiving and family!!
hectic is all i can say
then oh my goodness we start our third trimester and the countdown in on for christmas.
i try not to rush through anything, but i feel like this month is just going to fly. well maybe even the rest of 2008. i know all you other folks are just as busy as i am, but sometimes i think blogging is a stress reliever for me. so maybe this blog was more for me than you, but that's ok right! =)
HAPPY NOVEMBER, HOPEFULLY I WILL GET A CHANCE TO BLOG THIS MONTH! LOL =)

You are going to be busy, but that will make your pregnancy fly! (Maybe that is good and bad!) Let me know if I can help out in any way!

Life only gets busier and then the more kids you have the more hectic it becomes. Hang on to all those little moments and write them on your blog or in a journal so you never forget the little things. I know you already do that though.

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
