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.

Getting together again

Dad called me Saturday and asked if I could bring Jeff and meet the rest my siblings and their spouses at mom's grave sight. He said, "they've finally set her grave stone then afterwords I'm taking everyone out to dinner.


What's the occasion?


(My dad is crying.) Its your mother's birthday Monday.

A big lumped formed in my throat. Tears started trickling down my cheeks. (my thoughts: I've been so busy with the move I'd forgotten. Even so, how in the world could I forget?)

My little sister is driving from Boise today.

Everyone else is already here.

The last time we got together for mom was at her funeral.

I just unpacked a box of Kleenex. Perfect timing.

Happy Birthday Mom.

My gift to you...

is trying to be your sweet Kimi Sue. I wanna be good so I can be with you again.

    I think this is a great way to honor your mom on her birthday. I didn't know her personally, but I can be sure that she could think of nothing better than all of her children being together on her birthday.

    Loves to you, Kimi.
