I've had my share of trials, challenges, heartaches, disappointments, and frustrations and I'd rather not have any more of them. Regardless, I am a stronger, more sensitive and empathetic person because of the trials I've been through. It's during those times that I have been humbled and taught from on high. My prayers have never been more sincere, and heaven has never felt closer than when I turned to my Heavenly Father for help and comfort. I am grateful for a Father who is keenly aware of every one of us and is just waiting to bless us. He's held my hand through hard times and he's lifted me even when there was no end in sight.
On a more positive note, I am so grateful for the memories and the happy times. The horseback riding with my dad, the trip to Mexico with my mom, swim meets, family campouts, family reunions in Wisconsin, staying up late with my cousins, playing pool with Amy until 4 am, girl's camp for 7 years in a row, DT, working at Aspen Grove, Centennial, study abroad in London, meeting and dating Mike, Sarah Brightman concert, skiing at Powder Mountain, our Wedding day, camping at Beaver, England, holidays, when we found out we were pregnant, James's birth, and every single day since then!
I feel so lucky as my life has been richly blessed with wonderful opportunities, experiences, and fun.
Honey, you're wonderful. What did I do to deserve such a wonderful eternal domestic partner.
