Tender Mercies

Image
By


I love having girls. I honestly didn't realize how much fun it would be to dress them up. I am doubly lucky because I have two at the same time.



I bore my testimony in Sacrament meeting for the first time in about forever. I feel like I should also bear it here. I feel that I have recently been so blessed by my Heavenly Father, without Him and His son Jesus Christ I would not have made it through the last year. It has been difficult, but I know we are given opportunities and obstacles in this life, and we are only given what we can bear. I know that although it has been difficult, and it will continue to be difficult, there are many reasons I have the experiences I do. The Lord prepares us for the future and to be of service to others. Mostly I am grateful for the tender mercies of the Lord, which to others may be simple and small things, but as I have experiences I know my Heavenly Father is blessing me. It can be something very, very tiny and in these past few months the tender mercies I have received are many, many tiny things hourly, daily, weekly. It has been others put in my path, or the girls doing something seemingly amazing, sleeping during church when at home they wouldn't have, or Logan saying something that couldn't have really come from him to give me comfort when I am having a particularly rough day. I love the gospel and I am lucky to be a part of it. In the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen. You are awesome. (Oh- and I really love that pic where one of the girls is flashing the "east side" sign... )

A Couple of Updates

By
I haven't been very involved in the online world very much in the recent months. I haven't been feeling very well. I had mostly rejoined the feeling-better society and getting excited for the ultrasound which we had yesterday on January 15th. Yes, I am Pregnant!!! 20 weeks to be exact and I had gone to 4 doctors appointments and heard the heartbeat several times. Josh and I went to the ultrasound anxious to find out the gender, because we are planners of course. I got situated and the person doing the ultrasound put the wand on my belly and I looked up at the monitor and saw two circles. (I wish we had a picture of that, but we don't have that exact one) In my mind I said, "that is two heads." She said, "Oh, did you guys know you were having twins?" Josh turned, because he had not seen the two heads on the monitor yet and said, "Uh, no". And she said, "Well, you are!" Surprise. A few moments later we found out it was two girls. Wowza....

100th Post!

And Josh and I have been married for 4 years, Wahoo! I am so lucky to have Josh! He is strong where I am weak and somehow manages to make everything right whenever he's around. Most of all what I love having in him is a best friend. He watches my silly shows with me and makes me feel like the coolest girl around. In case you don't know how we met . . . be sure to always attend institute, and choir while you're at it. Josh joined the Orem Institute choir for the summer with a couple of his buddies, mostly to meet some women :) Well, Josh wasn't so lucky, but his friend was and ended up getting married, where Josh was the best man. I came to the wedding reception (I knew Emily from LD Singers, a choir through the Ephraim Institute) . . . and later Josh hinted that he wouldn't mind being set up on a date with me. 11 months later Josh and I were married! Thanks Jon and Emily!
