i'm sorry, i don't think i heard you correctly

ya know that moment where you stop and ask yourself, "how did this happen?" i have had that all week.



this past tuesday i was called to be primary president.



i am so excited, overwhelmed, humbled, flattered, and in way over my head i can't really think straight!


i called my counselors, and they are awesome, amy and amber could both do a better job than me. (that's why i picked 'em)


having a calling like this will make me grow in ways i haven't before, and i am so grateful for the opportunity to serve and help the primary.


i am really grateful to my husband who supports me, and loves me, and lets me cry just 'cause i need to.


i am also grateful to my Heavenly Father, i can't do this with out him.

You know I speak whale

I'm happiest when I'm with my kids. They make my laugh. Today, Liam showed me he can speak whale. He was watching 'Finding Nemo' in the car, and that part came up. Word for Word. Orca was my favorite dialect.

Probably the funniest thing was hearing him say "You know I speak whale..."

Like I said, I'm happiest when I'm with my kids. Can you blame me?

Infinite Love

So I am signed up on here for these daily emails from the church. I especially loved this one today.

An Infinite Measure of Love

"[God] loves us because He is filled with an infinite measure of holy, pure, and indescribable love. We are important to God not because of our résumé but because we are His children. He loves every one of us, even those who are flawed, rejected, awkward, sorrowful, or broken. God's love is so great that He loves even the proud, the selfish, the arrogant, and the wicked."What this means is that, regardless of our current state, there is hope for us. No matter our distress, no matter our sorrow, no matter our mistakes, our infinitely compassionate Heavenly Father desires that we draw near to Him so that He can draw near to us."

Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "The Love of God," Ensign, Nov. 2009, 22–23

Zoey has found her calling in life

Confession

I watch the bachelor. Faithfully. Jake didn't give Vienna the boot, and I find myself lacking all motivation to do ANYTHING today. Don't want to go to the gym, finish my essay, finish grocery shopping, feed the dog...

I think I might have an unhealthy attachment to the show


maybe


probably

only 6 days till its on again

Who I spend my day with

With Zoey in all day Kinder, I spend all day every day from 8-4 with this little dude.

(This is how we roll, mac'n'cheese, hair not combed and in need of a hair cut.)

He is my little buddy. All day long I get lots of "I DID IT!!! Hye Five's!" and "I luo luo's" Thanks you Mommy's" and "Mommy, goldfish pleaze!" He comes with me everywhere I go and is always happy to see me. He helps me do laundry, make lunch, and clean up toys. He keeps me company and smiling all day.

He is also quite self sufficient. A few days ago I found him in the pantry eating oreo's. A few days after that I found him standing on the step stool yelling, "OH NO!!! COOKIES ARE LOST!!! HELP ME FIND THEM!!! LETS GO!!! HYE FIVE!"

I can't believe he is almost 3.
