Mexico here we come!

I am leaving the country tommorrow. I have never left the country before and I am a little nervous. I know it is going to make me grateful for my home and my country more than I already am. Keith had such an interesting expeirience when he and Bryon traveled there 3 years ago that it has left me a little nervous to travel to Mexico. I have heard though where we are going will be pretty tourist friendly and not the heart of no where land filled with federalies ready to take your money at any time. So wish us luck. I am ready for the ocean and sunshine.

Happy Monday

This morning I was driving my kids to school and I usually pick up another child and take him. Today he got into the car and I asked him if he was tired because he looked like he had stayed up too late the night before....he said yes I did not get too much sleep. Then he said "ugh another Monday". That made me stop and think...."I love Mondays" After the Sabath I always feel refreshed and ready to take on another week. It is Fridays that are hard for me. By the end of the week I am ready for that date night with my sweetheart. Saturdays are fun because we have no morning commitments right now and it feels good to just laze around the house in our PJ's. But when Monday rolls around I am usually ready for the order to come back.

So happy day to all those who love Mondays with me. Wierd I know but hey it's who I am.

Ups and Downs

Life deffinitly has it's up's and down's doesn't it?! I just wish the downs weren't so down. Even as I write this I am thinking to myself blah blah blah....I can tell myself all that I want like ... we are meant to rise above and become better people, stronger in our faith blah blah blah.... sometimes though I just feel like its a bunch of crap I feed myself everyday to cope with the down times and that I don't really believe it. And then my sweet son will come in and say "hi mom" and give me the greatest hug and then it's all better. That is what I live for.... love. I think all of us just need love....someone to come in and say "hi" and a big hug. We make each other feel better. Thats what its all about. There is nothing like a good sappy love story movie .... because it makes you feel good to get lost in their happiness and escape reality for just a little while.

Maybe thats all I need...a good sappy love story... a happily ever after. And some sunshine dang it!!!! The snow I think is getting to me.

Happy day. All is well.
