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.

My Birthday Wish

Tomorrow is my birthday! Wanna know my wish? This might sound funny or a little corny. But, I just wanna know that my life makes a difference. Do I bring joy to others? (thought comes from "The Bucket List") I'm working on my joy levels in life. I've been thinking a lot about this quote...
"Cultivate an attitude of happiness. Cultivate a spirit of optimism. Walk with faith, rejoicing in the beauties of nature, in the goodness of those you love, in the testimony which you carry in your heart concerning things divine." - President Gordon B. Nickle (Ensign, November 1984)

and this talk ...

“If Thou Art Merry,
Praise the Lord” (D&C 136:28)

    You can rest assured that your birthday wish has come true. You DO make a difference. This is going to sound incredibly cheesy, but you have brought joy to my life. I have loved getting to know you so much and enjoyed the laughs and really, really great talks that we have shared. You are a good friend, but above that you are a WONDERFUL mother and wife. You may not know that difference that you made in your kids' lives until they are grown, but I promise you, you will see it one day.

    I hope you have a fabulous birthday Kim! Love ya!

    You make a difference to me too! You're such a good example to me of loving motherhood. You're always trying to improve and become a better person. That, and you have a great sense of style. You're always classy, tasteful and modest. Happy Birthday!
