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 love you sista friend.






If you don't know my friend Laura you are missing out in life. I just got off the phone with her after a good LONG talk and I feel sooooo much better. She has totally inspired me to get on my knees more often and go to the Lord with more of my cares. We talked about so many things today and the best part is, it was deep and meaningful, it was like going to Women's Conference!!!
We talked out loud about our struggles and our triumphs we got it all out in the open so we can figure it out I guess. Its like free therapy to have such a sweet, loving friend. And the girl is so good. She radiates the gospel. She's been away from the town I live in but moved back the week of my mom's funeral- talk about a miracle in my life. She talks to me like my mom would.

Some things about Laura:

:: She cut's hair and is GOOD (if you need your haircut, I'll hook you up)


:: She has beautiful hands and feet. Her nail beds are to die for!!


::She has a beautiful voice, a beautiful face and a beautiful
.



:: You cannot meet her and walk away not liking her.



:: She is on a journey to conquer her weight for good, and I honor her courage and faith.



::She is sweet and brings out the best in me and others.



::She is down to earth and has an infectious laugh.



::She is thoughtful and savors deep relationships with people.



::She is chatty and adorable. I just LOVE her.




::Her faith is inspiring.



:: When I think of the 13th article of faith. I think of her, she seeks after good things and tries to weed out all the nasty stuff in this world.

"We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous,
and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow
the admonition of Paul - We believe all things, we hope all things,
we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all
things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or
praiseworthy, we seek after these things."


I ♥ you!! Thanks for the wonderful, enlightening talk!!

  1. She sounds wonderful, and like a true God-send to you. What would life be without these wonderful people that surround us? One of my sisters favorite quotes is, "What do we live for if not to make life less difficult for each other?"

  4. I love what you say in your profile how it is not coincidental that people come into our lives. I don't think it was a coincidence that your good friend moved back just before your mother passed away. Heavenly Father is truly looking out for you Kim.
