"Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. " Thomas S. Monson

Thank you Swine!.....

Well i guess the swine flu was good for something....it kicked my nesting into HIGH gear!!! I don't think i have EVER cleaned this much in my life, for the past 3 days i have been deep cleaning everything, walls, doors, (too bad i still hate to clean windows even nesting couldn't make me do that) i have deep cleaned my bathrooms about 20 times or more since Thursday, i got all the baby clothes out of storage and went through all the boxes and got out all the clothes up to 3 months and washed them and folded them, put them in the baby's dresser, cleaned out kaylins clothes that don't fit him anymore which is kinda bad cause now i see he needs A LOT of winter clothes cause he has none.
I want to move my rooms around so bad but i have no were to put anything except were it already is so that is driving me crazy (can someone just buy me a bigger house!)
Nick asked me what was wrong with me when i was cleaning the washer and dryer today, he said "are you OK" "are you obsessed with cleaning now" i just laughed cause it is a little weird that i have been like a MAJOR germ freak the last week. I still have A LOT to clean but it is slowly getting there, if you have never seen my house deep cleaned before now is you chance (rayni!)....any ways everyone is good now at our house kaylin and nick still have a little bit of a cough but that's it, thank goodness i tested negative for it and never got sick.
I guess it was all good timing with the swine flu cause i have gotten a lot done i don't think i would have other wise or maybe is was just knowing i only have "9" weeks or less left before our little boy gets here and had to get cracking on all the stuff i have had to do!!!

good advice!

Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib, not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal! Under the arm to be protected, & next to the heart to be loved.
