Day 1

Sheesh, for me this really is a challenge. I never realized how much I focused on the negative till I decided to go for the positive. Well today I went down to my sister's for a shopping trip to the mall with our mom and a couple other siblings. Sounds fun, eh? Well that's what I thought, especially since my husband was going to be gone all day at work. Who wants to stay home by themselves? Not me! Well this "fun trip" included a hour long train ride down to Provo and then back up again to  Murray. And with a 1-year-old. . .Well let's just say you stay on your toes. But it actually wasn't that bad. To be honest my baby girl was the silver lining in my rain cloud day. On the train ride she was quick to point out everything we passed and ask "what's that?". Her face is always so full of wonder with every new thing she encounters. I'm amazed by her intelligence. 

          Well after shopping and all that jazz, I came home to my over-stressed, over-exhausted husband. I have a problem  where I'm not like most wives. When my husband gets this way I usually get annoyed. Yes, I know, I am a very selfish person. But it was OK because once again my baby girl led the way. As soon as he walked in the door she let out a squeal of delight and raced for him. I am just amazed at how, regardless of circumstances and hardship, my baby has a huge amount of love inside that tiny body of hers that she gives to everyone, but especially her dad. That's when I ask myself, well if my one year old can do it, why can't I? To continue with my baby girl's cuteness my husband went and fell asleep in her indoor tent (yes the tent is that big and my goofy husband likes to try and fit himself into small spaces). So she followed him into the tent and jumped on him the entire time he was asleep until he went out of the tent. 

      You know, with writing this entry, I realize that most of my day was really good, it was just small little inconveniences that made me think my day was bad. That's dumb. Anyways, I'm very happy to say that to end the day my husband and I went to the temple. It was very much needed. 

      Love you all! Thanks for your feedback.
