The New Year has started with a BANG!!

Wow. What a year already. I can't believe it's only the middle of January. Isaak's birthday is coming up and I didn't realize his birthday is on Sunday. Its only his second birthday and I'm already forgetting-it made me feel kind of bad. I haven't even ordered his presents off of amazon yet. I've almost completely converted to online shopping. We went to the mall a couple weeks ago to play at the playground and I realized I hadn't been to the mall in over a year. Weird. First of all I want to quote from the Book of Mormon. It's one of my favorite scriptures for many reasons. I learned to believe in miracles while I was on my mission in France. I learned that God always hears us even if it doesn't work out like we think and I learned that God speaks to me through sunsets. Whenever I feel like it seems too hard or the road is too bumpy-I'm prompted to go outside and the most beautiful transformation of color has transformed the sky.

Okay back to my quote, "For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith." (2nephi27:23) God works Miracles! I believe in Miracles. For many reasons--first being that my niece was diagnosed with a brain tumor on Monday. They surgically removed it on Tuesday and by the end of tonight she is on the road to a great recovery. God hears prayers. I've had some other trials since this year begun and they haven't immediately been resolved or fixed. They are trials that linger, but I believe in miracles. God will make good with what has happened. He will help mend our paths for the best.

Even if I forget birthdays. Even if I'm not perfect. Even if I whine a little when I think it's hard. So 2011 has started out with a bang--maybe you could say it's coming in like a lion, but I hope it turns into a little lamb!

Good post. I've felt very similar lately. God is definitely aware of what each of us is going through and I've felt him help us countless ways this year, too.
Glad to hear that your niece is doing okay. What a scare.

I know that you have had a very interesting start to the year. I hope it calms down a bit. God really is a God of miracles, and he will help everything work out. Glad your niece is doing so well considering all that has happened.

Alas I speak

First of all it was easy to get that Widget of the Baby on, but I have no idea how to get if off. It's not that I don't want to remove it, I just don't know how. I'm not the smartest blogger on the block. I bet there is some button that says remove widget somewhere. So the big day finally arrived-if you want to know as little as possible I suggest that you read no further, but just scroll down and enjoy the pictures. I slept in on Thursday(last week)-it was glorious. I straightened my hair, shaved my legs and just slowly got ready for work. I then decided that it was essential that I pick up baby wipes from Costco. My body must have known that I would be needing them soon. I'm walking around Costco and all of the sudden I pee my pants. I was looking all around for a bathroom, but I couldn't see one anywhere. I thought well it was just a little leak and I know there is a bathroom at target and they are usually pretty clean. So I head over to target and I continue...

From me to him

Dear Isaak, Happy Birthday my little guy! It feels like just yesterday that you were literally pulled out to come into this world. Yes literally with forceps around your little head because you accidentally faced the wrong direction or maybe you faced the direction you wanted to. You didn’t seem like you were quite ready to come out because you were just wailing--almost like you were saying, “You know--I was perfectly comfortable in there.” I’ve learned this year that you surely know what you want and you will not stop until you get it. For example when we tried to spend the weekend away from home and you didn't like sleeping in your playpen! You woke up every 1/2 hour to let us know you weren't comfortable. You finally fell asleep around 3am when we put you on the bouncer. Cory slept with his arm around you on the floor so you didn't roll off. You weren’t going to come easy, eh?? I remember pushing and pushing and pushing and thinking this isn’t going how I thought that i...

Whaaaaat??????

I'm happily brushing my teeth in the bathroom. I'm looking around wondering what else I could be doing while I'm brushing my teeth and I started to think to myself, hmmmm , I wonder what's in toothpaste? I picked up the tube with my free hand and continued brushing. As I was reading the back I noticed a WaRnINg : Do not use for more than four weeks at a time. What? Do not use for more than four weeks? I anticipated reading if you swallow more than what you are brushing your teeth with call poison control. I try to start adding up how long I've been using this toothpaste. Cory didn't like it, so I've been using it solo and it has surely been more than four weeks. Now I don't know what to do with it--do I take a break and come back to it or do I just keep using it? I mean it's been about three months and I still have quite a bit left and nothing seems out of the ordinary yet...But seriously I think that the warning on the toothpaste should at least be...
