"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

Santa....

Finally nick got to be home one year to take kaylin to see Santa clause with me at the mall, i liked the Santa this year they are much better with a real beard! kaylin was excited to go and see him, but he got a little shy once we got to Santa, he still went up and sat on his lap and told him he wanted some cars for Christmas but then he couldn't get any other words out of his mouth, (good thing the list wasn't too long, lol) it was really cute! Santa told him about being a big brother and how he is going to have to help mommy out a lot with his baby brother, he really liked hearing that he was going to be a big brother! He told me that Santa now know what he wants for Christmas cause he sat on his lap and told him!

I have a a crazy week this week early weds morning about 3 am i woke up with really Strong contractions that lasted all night and i thought for sure i was in labor and so about 10 am they still hadn't stopped so i called my doc and they said go get checked but by the time i got to the hospital they had spaced out and were not as strong, i was so bummed, the nurse checked me and i was the same as i was last week at a 3 and 70%....so the next day (Thursday) i had my regular doc apt and she checked me and said "those contractions are doing there job, you are 3+ and 80% now" so that was nice to hear that i was progressing a little bit anyways. she said any day now he will want to come out, so my fingers are crossed!!!!

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.
