the bomb squad.

 when most of my mornings look like this. i end up with multiple children in my bed, big round circles around my eyes. trying to get out of bed can be tricky. sometimes i think to myself that it as almost as if i am on a bomb squad. any little movement could set one of my little "sleeping angels" off. i especially thought this this morning. Garran was leaving for work. he came to give me a kiss goodbye and so i started to get up. I looked down and realized that i had two children in my bed. i instantly started my game plan as to how i could move the blankets and the leg that one of them was laying on to escape and yet still leave them sleeping. (don't get me wrong. i love my kiddos more than anything. i just like to be up for a little bit before the day goes into full swing!)
so this is how i felt. "start the mission". i delicately move the blankets, slide my leg out. I think i am doing awesome. i grab my phone and start to head down stairs. i am feeling so happy that i was able to maneuver my way out without detonation. then with the first creek of the step as i head down stairs i see a head pop up from my daughters bedroom. "Hi Mommy!".  BOOM! 
what was i thinking. i did not take in to consideration the trip wires that are the creaking stairs. 
oh well. the day begins. Briea and I went down stairs and watched Dora for a while. i guess the sweet hugs i got will make up for the quiet time i did not get. ;0)

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
