Reading alot of this..
." D&C 122: 7 And if thou shouldst be cast into the ^apit, or into the hands of murderers, and the sentence of death passed upon thee; if thou be cast into the ^bdeep; if the billowing surge conspire against thee; if fierce winds become thine enemy; if the heavens gather blackness, and all the elements combine to ^chedge up the way; and above all, if the very jaws of ^dhell shall gape open the mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee^eexperience, and shall be for thy good."


Listening to alot of this...



Trying to remember this..

I need to add

I need to add this to my list below. One of my favorite parts of the entire day. And it doesn't happen EVERY day. But some glorious days, when my boy gets his hand dirty with chocolate or dirt or some other dirty substance. He will declare "UH-OH!!" and run to me with his outstretched hand to clean it. So i grab a hand towel and very slowly wipe it off. I do it slowly because Deacon doesn't normally let me hold his hand very long before ripping it away like "DO NOT TOUCH ME!". So i relish while he lets me hold his hand and wipe it, and he watches his hand being cleaned VERY intensely. His hands are so cute..

What makes me happy.

Last night Deacon's sleeping face smelled like salty pretzels. yum. Deacon listens to THIS SONG about 500 times a day and bobs his head, its really cute. Except now I know every word to 'Young Homie'.  My christmas tree is up and beautiful. I bought several little 75% off ornaments last year at Target, i hate doing that.. buying something for the future. I want to buy something and use it immediately. But oh boy was it exciting when I re-discovered them in my decorations box. I love them all over again.  Are you on PINTEREST? I'm so obsessed with it. I've made serveral recipes, crafts, and been inspired for clothing and home decor. Its awesome. Me and my sister went out on black friday, my first time. We pretty much just wanted to go to Bath and Body works because their candles were a great deal PLUS we had coupons, making 3, $20 candles.... $20 for all 3! So like, buy 1 get 2 free big candles. I was so excited! I've got a nice stash of Wallflowers and Candles under my sink, if only Deacon would stop messing with them and bringing them to me with his lips puckered up scrunching his nose & blowing air out of his nose (that means he wants me to sniff them haha).  Cold weather food is my favorite. Hearty dishes, and yummy drinks mmmm. Not so good for my waistline, ugh. I painted my nails this morning OPI Panda Monium Pink, and my toenails Essie Chinchilly. I've been watching makeup tutorials on youtube by Kandee... and BOY am i ready to do my makeup today hahah. My sister is the best sister of all. My little ginger niece coos and giggles and smiles when you talk to her and OH i could just EAT her with a SPOON. Anyway, those things are making me happy currently :)

I am grateful

I feel like this is an obligatory post in November. But since i don't want to do a Thankful post... that means i really Need to do a Thankful post.
 I'm thankful *gulp* for trials. Wait. Am i? No. Wait, yes I am. I mean.. I'm thankful for trials, after they are complete in their coarse and I can step back and realize that it wasn't so bad and that it was meant to make me stronger. I hate trials in the midst of the trial of course. But when they are done? Sure. I'm thankful for them.
I'm thankful that I am a woman and that i could have a baby. I always in my head thought "My body isn't capable of having children" and when getting pregnant wasn't as easy or quick as i'd thought, I was so scared and upset. But boy do you forget the hard times when you get rewarded with such a beautiful wonderful perfect blessing. Which brings me to.. I am SO very thankful for my sweet Deacon. He is perfection and I would be so very lost without him. 'I love him' is an understatement. I'm obsessed. I'm grateful for my husband. My husband is tough. Not really physically tough, no. He endures, and endures, and endures some more. And even though the health trials are directly effecting him, I am the one whining and complaining and crying over them. Not him. He comforts ME. He puts up with my many moods and I love him for that. He works So hard. And just typing "he works so hard" brings a huge lump to my throat because... he does. He loves me and Deacon and we love him. Period.
I am so thankful for my house and for our vehicles. For the food in our fridge and pantry. For our family. I love them. Family is the best.
