Chocolate
My little Katie use to hate chocolate. She literally use to spit out the chocolate chips out if her cookies. Well, all that has changed. Check out whats left of her Easter bunny compared to my sons. Keep in mind, Easter was yesterday.

The Roaring 20's
My birthday was March 30th, and that night there was a special broadcast done by our church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, for the young women and women. Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf spoke and said that occasionally we should evaluate where we are on our journey in life. a few days before, I had a discussion with my husband about life and what exactly we are accomplishing. I've been thinking of that alot lately. My husband gave me great advice and told me to focus on the positive things that have happened in our life, all the good we've accomplished.
A week ago, I found a letter I wrote to myself when I was 18. Reading it, I marveled at how much I did in my twenties, how much my life changed from 18 to 30. Huge decisions, huge events that will affect the rest of my eternities. I married my best friend, which was the absolute best decision I ever made! I had four children, and experienced one miscarriage. I have watched siblings get married, have children, have heart breaks. I've had grandparents, an uncle, and a cousin pass away. I've attended 3 colleges and received my associate degree. In short, I've done alot and learned a lot and grown alot.
I was reassured that I was on the path I should be on, that my journey was going as I had hoped and planned for. At 18, I wrote about wanting to be married, to have children and to be a mother, and look at where I am. I couldn't have hoped for more and better. How beautiful and blessed I have been. I know that Heavenly Father has directed my life and blessed me for my righteous desires.
To my husband, I love you more than you could ever know, and I'm so grateful that you have made my dreams come true. Thank you for sharing my journey. Our journey. It's perfect to walk hand and hand with you.
