As I reflect on the craziness of this year I am grateful for all of it. From our newest little member of our family to going to back to school and Eric's new job where he is gone a lot. I have learned so much about what I am capable of doing and accomplishing. See most of my life I have been made to feel that I was never going to be able to accomplish all that I knew I wanted and should do. I gave birth to our beautiful little boy and was sustained by the Lord and my loving and caring eternal companion. I was also able to do extremely well in my first semester of graduate school at the same time. I am so thankful for all the help the lord has given me. I have learned so much this year.
2011 started with me learning how to enjoy every second of life and by doing so joy can be found in every moment from cleaning soap paint and crayon off to wall to every hug and kiss given by my precious little girl. I also learned from her that our Lord and savior are with us always. No matter what we are doing. Now I am beginning to pass that knowledge on to little Hyrum and to my own heart. As the year went on I have learned that when your focus is on the divine you will be able to accomplish all the Lord wants you to do. Even if the house is cluttered and the dishes get a little back up or you never quite get that last load of laundry caught up, the things of eternal importance and purpose will be accomplished. My children will learn the important lessons I am trying to teach them. I will be able to do all my heart righteously desires to do to help my eternal companion. My husband and I will be able to work out our differences and become more of one unit. While in the world's perspective this year has not been great I have learned so much and will always look back on this year as one of great personal growth that has helped me to fully embrace this new chapter in my life as a wife and a mother. May the Lord continue to guide me through this life so that everyday can be lived to the fullest.
