Christmas bells are ringing......

They are really ringing as times grows closer to Christmas!  Every year I tell myself that I WILL make it less stressful the next year, and that year comes and goes and I find myself just as stressed out as the year before if not more!!!! Why is that!
We are all doing better and on the mend...I think!!!!  Brian is finding out that Hormones are an essential thing to keep at an elevated level in your body!!!  I am finding that if you have your Health then you really do have EVERYTHING!!!  its true....

15 Years ago today......

I was getting ready at my Grandmas house in Mesa with the make up I had just purchased at the nearest Walgreen's...I left mine behind the night before in Safford. I drove down with Brian his parents and my mom.  He slept at Nanny's house!!!  I remember telling him "well this is the last night we sleep alone"!!!  He smiled and winked at me....I was naive...

My friends Nicole and Wendy came over at 5:30 am that morning to help with hair and makeup and calm my jitters.

I go ready and we headed to the Temple!!   I remember standing at the bottom of the steps that lead into the Temple and looking down towards the sidewalk as Brian walked toward me!!  I was excited, scared, and most importantly...IN LOVE!!!


I love you Honey and I'm so excited we get to be together FOREVER!!!

What do you have to be stressed about

I was asked today "what do you have to be stressed about" that made me mad at first then it made me think!
My Husband
My kids
My kids whole existence
My existence
the welfare of my family
my house
the laundry
things in and around the house that are not done
meals
the health of my family
These are all things that at times really stress me out!!!!  They make me happy, sad, excited, nervous, intimidated, over flowing with love, comforted, exhausted, giddy!  I have a slough of feelings and emotions that these things in my life bring to me on a daily basis. This is my job, my work, this is all I know!!!  and believe me I wouldn't have it any other way, but I think I'm allowed some breaking down moments!!!  It comes with having responsibilities!!!
I read this tonight and it was AMAZING!!!!
