My photo
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.

Stephanie, I cried too.

I live in Washington. My husband is running the marathon in St. George. Your talk was scheduled at the perfect time. I met my niece who attends BYU in the second row. I sat right behind your family. I saw you up close. Not your scars but your heart. Snot and tears were all over my face too. Don't be embarrassed about that. I know your story because my mom died two days after your crash. I've turned to you for strength. I've taught my YW your story and told them to put more time into their spirits. My children know you by name and pray for you in their own personal prayers. I was honored to be there Thursday. Thank you. Wish I could've hugged you too.

    I don't really follow NieNie, but know her story. I'm sure this was a great experience. How did you like St. George?

    Love and miss you!
