Prayers are truly answered.

So almost four months ago Eric and I found out that we were going to having a baby, and for as happy and wonderfully blessed I felt I still had this nagging feeling. You see I have this dear friend who had been trying to get pregnant for a about two years. She is the sweetest kindest young woman I know, well one of a few. So when we started trying a was praying that she would become pregnant first. And then when we found out we were pregnant I prayed that she would be pregnant too. Well wouldn't you know it, the Lord saw fit to answer my prayer. I just found out that my dear friend is expecting her first child near the end of October. I am so excited and grateful for the Lord's hand in life. For my desire was that my friend could have the desire of her heart just as much as I could have mine. I am so excited for our children to grow up together, Lord willing and to be able to get in touch with her again and see how pregnancy is treating. So if it seems as though your prayers are unanswered, you never know when, where or how that will be answered. But I know that if they are righteous desires and needs the Lord will never leave you hanging. It may take more time than you may think it should but in the end the Lord is always there. So never give up hope!

Life has its ups and downs

So this week has been interesting so far. First, Eric and I had the opportunity to help with the new temple open house and had a blast. I even had a father offer to give his son to me. But I kindly declined. Then we went to work. Work is great but there are some issues as with every job. The big one at the park is a major lack of communication. There are problems but if people would talk and listen rationally and be proactive the problems would be solved. One nice thing was I got to help put the baby animals away on Wednesday and can I just say I love the feel of a baby anything in my arms. Also one of the horses Appy, has fallen for me. Eric is none too pleased. Then we found out that my great aunt Bonita passed away. I will miss her but I am so happy that she is reunited with her husband after being separated for five years. She lived to 96 and had a full life. I just hope that I can live half that long and be happy. Finally I did have my first big cry with being pregnant. It was just all the little stresses of the last few months coming to the surface. I am doing better now and will be doing even better after a great night's sleep. All in all this week has been good and I know it will continue to be. I just have to focus on the positive and ride through the storms.
