Fun Visit with Friends

Today I woke up not feeling the greatest, I think I've been tiring myself out a lot more than I realized for last night's event, but I am blessed that I still was able to supervise the visit with our friends and their sweet girls. Every time I pick up these sweet girls my spirits are raised- they have so much love and innocence- and enthusiasm. I was also blessed today that Melissa spent the night last night and was able to have a little extra time with my girls this morning while I went to pick up the twins. It's always easier when there are less carseat buckles to strap : ). Today was just a great visit and I feel blessed that I felt well enough.

OSCARS Night

Tonight was a success. I am so blessed. Blessed for great ideas from these wonderful young women; blessed for the ability to delegate and the wonderful follow through of those I asked to help; blessed for the inspiration to make this night a reality; blessed for a portion of Heavenly Father's love for his sweet daughters; blessed for these great young women. Throughout the entire experience of planning and preparing this night I have felt closer to my Father in Heaven and have felt that I am truly consecrating my talents to help build up His kingdom. I have been overwhelmed with love for the young women in our ward and am so glad that they were able to have this wonderful night where they could be the stars that I know they are. Tonight was the first time, in a long time, that I truly felt the words "well done, my good and faithful servant" from my Heavenly Father. I want to do more, to give more, to love more, and to be more like my Savior so that I can keep this feeling.

The Perfect Awards

I have been busy getting ready for tomorrow's big OSCARS night for Young Womens and something that I've been procrastinating to make sure I found something just right were the awards for the girls to win and today I am so blessed to have them all ready to go and to have them turn out so perfect! I am so happy with them and feel so blessed that Drew scouted them out for me and that he even painted them to have them turn out just how I wanted. They are just right and I am so thankful.

In Abbie's Classroom

Today was a very eventful day, but the biggest blessing to me was to be able to volunteer in Abigail's preschool class. My sweet Mom watched Laurie Lou so I could go and it was so wonderful to help all the kids and get to know them better, and to see firsthand how Abigail interacts with others and behaves in her classroom. The best part was their outdoor play, when she really wanted me to come and see the playground and all her favorite play equipment. I love this girl and I'm so glad that I found such a wonderful preschool that had everything I was looking for for her, and that, even though we're working on transitioning into us both getting used to not being together 100% of the time, that we both still love every minute that we can be.
