Happy Mother's Day!

By -

Yesterday was my first Mother's Day with a husband and two moms. I didn't really know what to expect, but it was such a great day! It started when I found these!

Pretty flowers from Jonathan!

I made clutches the day before for my new sisters Mackenzie and Hannah. They totally loved them!

They were so fun to make!
 Jonathan and I got our moms flowers.
This was my mom's third arrangement of flowers. Her house now smells like a flower shop.

These are Tammy's flowers.
 I even got a present from my mom! It is the same beautiful print of Queen Ester that is in the Bride's Room at the temple.

I love this painting and soon it will hang on our wall!
Jonathan and I are still getting used to having two families to visit for holidays. We timed it just right this time. We ate a delicious dinner made by Hannah with the Nelsons and then dessert with the crazy Patterson gang.

I am so grateful that I now have two wonderful Mothers! I also love all of my sisters and the great examples they are to me. They are amazing women and I hope I can be like them when I grow up.

Wrong Roads

Last time my family was all together, my dad shared this video with us. As we were watching it, I leaned over to Jonathan and told him that is exactly what we have been experiencing throughout our marriage. We have started down many different paths and each one felt right, but most of them reached a dead end. I am grateful to know that we are currently on the right path. As we start figuring out where to go next, I know God will guide us even if there are a few more dead ends for us to go down. I know we will get to where we need to be. Also, this weekend will be the General sessions of General Conference. (I feel like I am saying general a lot...) Anyway, join us by clicking here !

One More Minute

I love Lucy. She sits back and observes what is going on around her before joining in. Typically, she jumps in when it's nearly time to go. That happened again today. I told Aaron one more minute until we needed to leave. Lucy ran out to join in the playing. I couldn't stick with leaving in one minute so we let them play longer. Lucy and Aaron kept up with the big kids fairly well. Samuel's diaper leaked during Sacrament meeting and his backup outfit wasn't as cute as his original one. We'll try again another time.

Growing

A few weeks ago at work someone said, "Bad days are the worst." And that got me thinking. For me days are tough but they help me grow much faster than an entire year of good days would. Not saying that I seek out bad days, but there is good that can come out of bad days or just bad experiences if we are open to it. via After I started writing this, there was a post on one of my new favorite blogs that fit so perfectly with this that I wanted to share some of it with you. [To quote C.S. Lewis,] “The problem of reconciling human suffering with the existence of a God who loves, is only insoluble so long as we attach trivial meaning to the word ‘love.” Too often we confuse God’s love with human kindness. We want, in fact, not so much a Father in Heaven as a grandfather in heaven—a senile benevolence who, as they say, ‘liked to see young people enjoying themselves’ and whose plan for the universe was simply that it might be truly said at the end of the day, ‘a good tim...
