"Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. " Thomas S. Monson

Thankful...

Since I got behind on blogging with all the crazyness going on around here I think I should catch up a bit!

Thanksgiving (no pictures, i forgot)

I just wanted to make sure I write some things that make me thankful for life each and every day:

Iam thankful for my father in heaven, he has blessed my family so much this past year, He is everything to me, he is always there for me, he listens, I can always count on him, I know he knows what is best for me always and I trust in him.

Iam thankful for my husband, he is by far my better half, he is my best friend (even when im steaming mad at him), He hold our family together, he is the best dad any sons could ever ask for, he is the best husband and I dont deserve such a great man!

Iam thankful for Kaylin, he makes me laugh everyday seriously, He is such a big help to me, he is so smart (sometimes too smart), he has the sweetest kindest heat of any boy that i have ever known, He is my first born and the one who made me a big part of who I am today, I love you kaylin boy!

Iam thankful for my little guy Kiptin, he is such a sweet blessing that I thought I would never get, he was well worth all the hard times getting him here, he makes sure everyday that i get lots of hug from him ( i am never in short supply with those), he is just the best!

I am thankful for the trials in my life, without those I would not understand the most important things we have arent THINGS, it is our family and our gospel that get us through everything!

good advice!

Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib, not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal! Under the arm to be protected, & next to the heart to be loved.
