A pool of serenity.

I was reading a blog that I love to read today and the lady writing was joking about being a "pool of serenity", with great sarcasm. I realized that I too was having a sarcastic day of being my own cool "pool of serenity".
Sometimes I think my sense of humor is a little odd, however this lady is right up my alley. Sometimes when reading her blog, it is like I am reading my own thoughts.
So here is what would happen if you came to take a dip in my pool today.
1. Our toilet has been broken for three days. I guess I should specify, the upstairs toilet. I was slightly embarrassed as the plumber came downstairs and explained that he pulled out two different pieces of a cell phone and one very large piece of plastic. I don't know for sure but I have a very good guess as to who tried to flush those things. I am convinced my children get their naughtiness from their father! :0)
2. I woke up sick. Blah. I won't go into anymore detail but I woke up sick and have been hating it all day long.
3. My kids have been trapped inside due to cold and rain and they are quit literally going crazy! Which in turn is messing with my pool!
There is a happy ending to my day though.
Garran had a huge critique at school today. He had to meet with a panel of professors, including the head of the print making department. They basically reviewed his work and assessed if he would get to keep his scholarship.
Needless to say, it went awesome! Garran is so talented and just a rock star at what he does. He is so humble but everyone in a while I feel the need to brag about how proud I am of him. He sacrifices a lot for us and when he gets good news it is a happy day for all of us!
(and adds a little bit of serenity back into my pool)

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
