Every morning I wake up with a head full of things to do. I scramble around trying to put them in lists of importance all while trying to keep the peace within my little brood (trying to recall everything I've learned and read about parenting at the same time.) I love being a wife and the quirks that come with having my man forever. I love to be creative and thrive on crossing off my to do list. I strive to find balance and put first things first which brings me PEACE & JOY and allows me to sleep so much easier when I do. I think that one of the secrets to being HAPPY in life is to find that balance. I'm learning how to be kinder to myself and learning patience in progress. Everyday, through the thick and thin of life I'm trying to turn my heart towards heaven and remember what's really important.Oh, and I love to eat, so much so that I love to exercise too.

I'm so proud of her



I'm so proud of my little sister! She was sealed in the temple last weekend. December 1, 2007
We're nine years apart and I've been married and had children while I've watched her through her teen years. It was so heartbreaking to watch her struggle and wanted so bad for her to have the same happiness that I have. Through it all I always tried to be there for her and be an example. There were times when I wanted to shake her and make her understand that if she kept doing what she was doing she could never really be as happy she'd wanted to be. I knew she had to figure it out though, just like I did. Now I am brimming with pure joy when I watch her take on the world the way she has. She's a strong and righteous woman. I'm glad that I had a part in helping her become who she it today. I'm so thankful that she's my sister but even better she's my best friend. I love you Mel!!!!

    What a beautiful couple they make!

    She is blessed to have you for a sister Kim. That's so great that you were able to be there for her throughout her teen years. I'm sure you were more of example to her than you can even imagine.
