Changing FAST!

Hello!  I'm feeling inspired and excited today.  Therefore, I will type up a blog post.  Haha :). Things are really good!  We had a great Thanksgiving in OHIO, Finals are almost done for josh, the bathroom is almost finished, Phoenix is learning new things every day and I am learning to have fun with being a frugal mom.  I'll try to post about those things individually.  But for now, I'll just post some pictures and say how grateful I have been feeling lately.  I have seen so many prayers answered and tender mercies received!  Becoming a mom has changed my view on life.  I love it!  Sure, there are hard days, but we learn from them.  Not only that, but I have learned to more fully appreciate the good times, by living through the hard times.  Mosiah 2:41 and Helaman 5:12 have become the mottos I live by.  Obedience brings happiness and Christ is my sure foundation.

(Yes my credit cards are out... Christmas shopping, are we?)
