"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

No words can describe....

I sit here tonight and there are so many emotions that are flooding me (mostly my eyes, haha)
I LOVE MY FAMILY SO MUCH, my husband is my true best friend my forever partner and means
so much more to me then I could have ever dreamed. Kaylin is my first born son and I look at him
And I can not find words that describe the pure love I have for him, he is amazing beyond belief
He is my everything my whole life, I often wonder if I am a good enough mom for him..I know at times
I fall very short in that area but every day I strive to be better then I was the day before. I want to be the mom
That he is proud of, I want to be his best friend and always be there for him to laugh with and to cry with and all
other things as well. Kaylin I love u FOREVER!
Kiptin is hours away from turning ONE he has brought an overpowering amount of love to my heart
I look at him and can't help but kiss him and tell him I love him over and over again through out the day
I feel like we already have a deep bond with each other and I want to be the best mom to him and show
Him my love everyday. I look at him and wonder what life has in store for him. Kiptin I love u FOREVER!
I do that for both my boys But i feel that for kaylin something big is in his future. I know if he stays close to Heavenly Father something amazing is In store for him, he is honestly the most amazing little boy in the world!
I want them to always have this so they know how much I love them, they are my world, my everything!
Thank you for choosing me as your mom and your wife.....I LOVE YOU FOREVER!
(Kaylin looked up at me one day a couple of months ago and said "mom, I love you forever" so its our family thing now)

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.
