sacrifice.

i love this guy.
when i look at this picture, i feel really lucky. 
this past week, i have seen Garran work so hard. Get up at the crack of dawn only to not get home until one or two in the morning. I know it is not easy for him. I know he is tired. I know he stressed. On top of all that, he will find ways to help me by cleaning the kitchen or starting a load of laundry for me. i just thought i would take the time to say how much i appreciate his sacrifice for our family. I am sadly not one of those amazing wives that has an immaculate home and everything perfectly put into place, with 4 perfectly dressed kids. I have to admit that I think my job is hard as well. Well worth it, but hard none the less. I just appreciate that Garran sees that and even when he is crazy busy still tries to make sure I have a little bit easier of a day. 
i recently read a quote that said, 
"Never marry a man that you would not want your son to be just like"
I would be over the moon if my boys came out of their childhood with even half of Garran's characteristics. 
He is a Great Guy.
I love him.

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
