happy little pea

things around here have felt heavy lately.

thick and heavy.

it's been like drudging around in sludge.

and then I found this...

and I like it.

and it's light and fun and sweet

and exactly what I need.

Of course it makes me think of Sa.

"noone's made me feel so much like me

now I'm a happy little pea"

I quickly sent him an email at work with a link to the video in it.

Cause we do those things,

send music videos to each other to get us through our day.

We're cute.

Knowing him, he'll have the piano part figured out by the time he gets home

now where to get a tamborine...hmmmmm

and apparently spelling lessons because i don't know how to spell tamborine.

Gotta give a shout out, I found this here.

if you have a minute, take a look around.

be forewarned, he swears a bit

but his writing is beautiful

and his photography is stunning.

ps...when I found this, I felt like Steph R. or Diana. you know how cool they are.

I've been holding off on posting this.
I don't know the words to use or what even to say.
On Jan 7, little Gavin passed away.
He was born to an AMAZING mother and father.
For the past few weeks we have been earnestly praying for a speedy recovery for him.
Through her blog, Natalie has reached thousands
with her testimony of Jesus Christ.
It seems as if her testimony has only gotten stronger though this all.


I...
I have been questioning
I've been trying so hard not to question
but the little nagging voice is there
"Why?"

In finding answers to help me stop questioning and put my trust in Him
I found this




It helps.
It helps me at least.
Somethings are just too big for me to understand.
I must always remember His timing and not mine.

And I must be grateful.
We have the Savior.
We have the opportunity to be with our family FOREVER.

As Natalie says
"God is Good."

Oh Natalie.
My heart breaks for you.

Prayers. Now. PLEASE

I know it's late in the game
but right now, a little boy NEEDS your prayers.

He is fighting for his life and he needs you.
Seriously.
Now.

At this very moment

my husband is washing the dishes, listening to his ipod and singing at the top of his lungs, completely free on any inhibition. At times like this, I am quickly reminded of how much I am absolutely in love with him.
