I'm overly emotional today...so I just wanted to come and thank you all. I wanted to thank my friends and all of you...you know who you are...those that took the time to email me and congratulate me on my Guest Garden Girl spot this month. You know when you have dreams and goals and things that you want, deep inside, and when they happen, you just want to share it with someone. Not to be boastful or prideful, but just to simply share.
Thank you for letting me do that here. Thank you for your kindness and sweet words. I've received many emails from readers of my blog and people from Two Peas and those emails mean the world to me. THANK YOU!!
((This page is one of my scraplift pages - of Cathy Blackstones - I love that girls work!)
And to my friends....thank you! I love you all for your support and friendship!
Wow. What a morning.
Madisyn got a high fever last night and had a hard time sleeping. We were planning on Ryan going to Lake Powell with my family - he's been so busy at work and I just felt like he needed a break too. But, at the same time, I was worried....I've had such a hard time with them lately, really just on the verge and I was worried with the thought of him leaving. We woke up this morning and decided that he should just stay.
My family all drove here last night to see us and then leave to Lake Powell this morning. So, we got up and got the kids in the car, Madisyn feeling so sick and ran over to their hotel to see them real quick. While we were there, my dad and Ryan gave the kids each a blessing, and then they gave me one. And, boy did the tears fall. Both of my kids are suffering from sickness and not eating well, and we are concerned about them. And I'm having a hard time being a good mom right now, being patient and keeping it all together. So, it couldn't have meant more to me.
I love my family. I love my dad...I'm so blessed to have such an incredible father that is so in tune with the spirit. He and my husband are such worthy priesthood members and I'm so thankful for that blessing in my life. After the blessings, I just immediately felt at peace. Felt ready to tackle the day...that I could do it. That I can do it. And I will.
So emotional. Need to get myself together so I can help them and get done the things that I need to do this weekend. I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend. Thanks for letting me share. Hugs!
WOO HOO!! Congrats to you! You so deserve it :)

Robyn - sorry your husband wasn't able to go. So many times my dh and I just takes turns. We don't have many options with Madison and we don't want Hayden to miss out, but sometimes we just don't go....so I just popped in, read a bit and wanted to say hi.
Have a great weekend. I am feeling creative and hope to get some stuff for me done.

Robyn,
Being a mom is sooooo dang hard! Some days I just can't take any more! I think as women we feel the need to do it all. Be the best mom, wife, daughter, doing the best at our callings, keep a perfect house and on top of all that, find some time for ourselves to be creative and such. Such pressure! I just wanted you to know that you're not alone in your feelings. I am glad that you sought the comfort of the Spirit and that reminded me to do the same! Keep up the good work in all that you do! Hugs!

Oh, hugs to you Robyn!!! It is such a great blessing to have the priesthood in your home, isn't it? It is so comforting!
Hoping things calm down for you soon and your kids are healthy and back to eating regularly.
Take it easy!
