Reunited Completely

By -


This past weekend my family came to visit - ALL of us! They brought Aiden home to us and were able to stay for Sam's baby blessing on Sunday. Aiden was surprisingly very cordial to Sam. He gives Sam luvins and wants to help out with everything - buckling Sam into the carseat, giving him his binky, rocking Sam in his swing, and sitting on him... oh wait, that last one wasn't so helpful. :) We're going to have to work on that one.


Rex gave a beautiful blessing for Sam. He blessed him with courage to make correct choices in his life and told of the love his heavenly and earthly parents have for him. Talk about a proud moment for me. I am so lucky and thankful that I have such a supportive, loving, and worthy father for our children.



What do you think? General Authority in the making??


I sure love this lil' man!

Some Time Away in Paradise

Rex and I went to Maui, Hawaii together, just the two of us!  It's times like this when we get to see the value of him traveling so much - the plane trip and hotel were completely paid for with points.  Cha-ching!  Rex totally spoiled me too.  The Mariott we stayed in was fit for a king and queen - a humongous tub, fully stocked kitchen, big comfy bed, an amazing breakfast buffet every morning, a tropical paradise of pools and hot tubs and beautiful flowers every where... a girl could get used to this.   We spent the first night and morning cramming in some homework for our scuba-diving certification class.  The next 2 days were spent at the scuba shop and in the ocean, passing off drills and skills needed to not-die.  And good news.  We did not die and completely lost ourselves underwater looking at the beautiful fish and eels and turtles around us.  Okay, just one turtle.  But it was pretty memorable!  I didn...

Mist of Darkness

So now that I have finally caught up with my blogging, I feel that I need to explain where I've been. This blog is mainly for journal purposes, so just ignore this post if it makes you uncomfortable. I've known that I've struggled with depression for five years now. I've been in some dark places in my life with horrible thoughts and temptations, but it's been under control for the most part. I've been "missing" for the past 2 months because I was slowly spiraling downwards without realizing it. True, I never had any suicidal thoughts this last time (maxing out your Zoloft should have SOME kind of effect) but I started losing interest in the things that usually make me happy. Blogging. Creativity. Photography. My family. Sunshine. With the winter, it seemed that everything had turned gray and dead, and not just the plants. My husband kept urging me to do something just for me, but I always felt that I didn't have time, and if I did, that i...

Surrounded by Handsomeness

      We christened the new van by going on TWO road trips this month. The first was to Oklahoma (and I guess, technically, Branson, MO as well) and the next weekend was to Utah to celebrate Rex's sister's wedding! So so so happy for her and her new hubby.  We got our first picture as a family with EVERYONE wearing a suit, well, except me of course. What handsome men surround me!
