I have had some ask if I really am excited that we are having a girl? YES!

Just for clarification...I actually always wanted this baby to be a girl. I LOVE being pregnant and secretly although as scary as it is with my health...I dont' want to be done with my child bearing years...if I had my way I would have eight...I know that isn't going to happen but I convinced myself it was a boy so I wouldn't be disappointed...and I wasn't I am thrilled. Yes, I cried after finding out...cried because of fear...cried because of joy...cried because I feel like I am not done...I LOVE being pregnant (okay 90%) I don't like the headaches and the achy back...but other than that I love every moment of it...I appreciate the gift to be able to have a child and carry a child (even with the trials).

Now don't get me wrong...although right "now" I feel like we are not "done" and that there is a boy waiting...I just want to clarify that that could change...even though we feel our last will be a boy...I am the first to admit that even when we think the "Spirit" has confirmed something to our hearts. Doesn't always mean that we were right...I know that I can want something so bad that I can convince myself and think it enough to believe it...so as I said, we will bring this baby into this world and love her and if Heavenly Father sees fit for me to have another pregnancy then we will!... and if not...then there are other options...we once prayed about adoption (after finding out I needed heart surgery) we felt that wasn't what was right for our family...BUT that was the answer then...doesn't mean that can't change...

okay...just had to get that out and yes we are absolutely thrilled... and name suggestions are welcomed...:-D

Gods Hands

God's Hand I haven't blogged in a while. I guess it's time to show some gratitude. I have come to realize in the last year or so how often we take for granted how incredibly involved our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ are in our everyday life. Just because we can't not see them physically, I find that we often forget how much they really do have their hands extended and are continually guiding us.        Of course I do believe that life is all about choices. The good, the bad, the ugly, or rather determining what is good, better and best. What we choose can shape a lot of who we are and who we have the capability of becoming. We have agency. He let's us choose. But as we follow His guidance through the Spirit I definitely think He knows where He needs us better than we do. He also knows how it will benefit us and others around us the most. I believe in being in the right place at the right time.       Most of you are aware tha...

Merry Christmas 2018! I deeply apologize for the 2nd year in a row not sending out Christmas cards/letters. I just haven't had the extra time or patience to do so. I haven't been on my blog in forever and almost forgot how to post anything. I hope you all enjoy. The past couple years have brought some trials as is life. But through it all we have continually be blessed and the outpouring of love and support from those around us have made burdens lighter. We are most grateful for our Savior and His divine hand in our lives and that is really all we can ask for. A short blurb for each of us. Nathan's business is expanding which brings more travel and more stress. But blessings all the same. He hiked the JMT trail this summer/fall for his birthday that was in May. He spent two weeks with bare minimums to survive the Yosemite mountains. It was quite the accomplishment I must say. He also co-runs a flying club that people rent planes and learn ho...

CONTEST!

I sat thinking today (dangerous I know)  and decided to change things up on my blog today...who doesn't like a CONTEST! Yup...now don't get too excited. You won't be winning millions of dollars or anything like that. Now I have friends ALL over the country and out of the country for that matter. SO if someone outside of Vegas or Utah wins this ridiculously silly contest, then I will figure out something I can mail to you. If you are local or in Utah I will make you something amazing. My amazing chocolate cupcakes, or fresh baked bread, or maybe even invite you to our home for dinner (if you are local). But as I was pondering my lack of energy today. It has taken me years...I mean years to find the secret trick to getting my energy back and back quickly. Most people I know rely on I also know several people who rely on Energy drinks/Boosters I even know a few who rely on  to get them through the day do to lack of energy as well as pain. Well for me any ...
