After much thought...

and prayer mind you, Isaac is not staying with us until December, he is leaving on the 10th.  It has been completely different this time, he isn't as busy as he was in the summer and his dance isn't his life anymore.  What does that equal, a really lonely and sullen kid that I am not equipped to handle or understand.  He is awesome, so no one get any ideas that way, he is just a teenager and I'm not in the stage yet.  But this is not why he's leaving, it was a decision with me and the mother.  I hope them the best and want him to succed in his dream, because he has a HUGE dream.  Love you Isaac!

This Morning...

So what are your kids doing this morning?

Just Screwin' Around

Took some of my friend's family pictures, what do you think?

The Return of Isaac.

We will have Isaac coming back to live with us for 4 months, actually 3 weeks on and 1 week off.  Why you might ask?  Because we have felt it is the right thing to do.  Other than that, no reason.  We're not getting paid very much and really it's not about that, it's just right.  You know those times when the Lord lets you know that something is gonna be ok?  Yeah this is one of them.  Let you know how it goes and pics will come soon.  Plus I need to tell you about GG weekend.

GG Weekend.

Alright everybody listen up and pay attention.  This is important.  I am leaving this next weekend to one of my most favorite things ever.  Gucker Girls Weekend.  This year I'm making shirts and pics will come soon, then you can be totally jealous of me and my awesomeness.

Pics I took at the park.

So I looked like a creeper taking these pictures of ward members kids, but I had fun and I think I'm going to make a seperate blog of pictures that I take.  I kind of like it, but don't even think that I'm good like my sister in law.  She's the expert.  I just like it, but enjoy.

I'm sooo blessed.

I have felt lately that life has been very good after the "storm".  I've been happy, content and mostly just happy.  I also remembered that to be this way you must do your part, pray, read, serve, etc.

I miss my Primary kids.  I was thinking about them the other day.  I hope their teacher is helping and nurturing their testimonies.  That is a sacred responsiblity, to teach the children of the church is something you need to take and keep in your hearts forever.  The 1st counselor in our Primary presidency told me it's the only place in the church you can hold up a picture of Jesus and you will get an excited answer of, "THAT'S JESUS!!!"  It was the and is the best calling.

Now I am more blessed to work and nurture and potentially save Young Women, but mostly just look inside yourself and trust in the Lord that He knows what they need.  These Young Women show me what it is to be a true missionary and how to love each other no matter who or where they are from.  I look at some of these Young Women and see some of the situations they are in and hope and pray they survive without being scarred tooo badly.

Then my family.  My kids are the BOMB.  Harrison loves me unconditionally, Libby makes me laugh and they both look at me and have that way to communicate with me, it's the best.  Nothing can replace that, nothing.  Not only my kids but my husband who supports and loves me and cries with me during the hard times.  He is my everything.

I have soooo much to be thankful for, but I know when I see a longer post I just skim through it, so...

I am blessed.
