inspiration

I just watched part of a video on YouTube about an amazing girl who has overcome so much. What an inspiration. I have been thinking about my sister JJ who had a horrific accident in November and has also overcome so much.

What a gracious Heavenly Father and kind brother Jesus Christ to allow these women to live with their families still. My thoughts and feelings tonight have been about how I need to appreciate what I have. I talked to another sister tonight and her situation in life to me seems like a dream. To her somedays, it is ordinary and the same. Interesting how that goes sometimes.

I had a wonderful experience at the Regina temple about a month ago. I received an answer to a prayer. Maybe not exactly what I wanted to feel but one I needed and one I appreciated and one I am trying to obey.

It is neat how such little accomplishments in life can make us so happy. I had to give myself a shot yesterday for the first time and I did it! I was so scared, but I did it, and it wasn't as hard as I was expecting. My husband was my cheering section while my shaky hands did what they should and I poked my self successfully.

As my cute 2 year old niece sang to me on the phone tonight..."the sun will come out tomorrow"

memories

I love Sundays. Mike and I get to spend endless hours together. We sleep, read, watch movies (Disney of course) and play games. After doing some personal progress on Sunday I decided it was time for a puzzle.

I l.o.v.e puzzles. and I am good at them. (see that Pensivety, I mentioned something I am good at)

Doing puzzles in my family growing up was mostly a Christmas tradition, but now that I am older it seems I don't do them as much as I used to. It was nice to do one again. It was a 700 piece JIGSAW puzzle of kittens sitting in cowboy boots. When I was younger, say 9 or 10, I used to make sure people knew they were called jigsaw puzzles, not just puzzles. There apparently was a big difference then, to me anyways.

Also, the puzzle means something to me because Kristi and I drove down to Utah one weekend and got to spend some time with her Grandma. Her Grandma only puts a puzzle together once, and then she goes on to another one and never does them twice. So I got a bagfull of puzzles, which I still have, and the cat puzzle was one of them.

My sister Lana also got the puzzle master gene and I like that we share that together.

Age before beauty? (I needed a title okay...don't judge)

One of my beautiful young women wore a new dress to church recently. It was adorable. I want one.

Would it be bad if I went and bought the same dress? What if we showed up on a Sunday and I had the same dress on as her? Is that okay?

But it's so cute?

But it won't look as good on me as it does her? or will it...it will just be 3 sizes bigger!
