Valentines Day

This year our valentines day was very low key. I spent 90% of the day laying in bed feeling sick, with a really bad headache. Since I wasn't feeling well, Ryan let me sleep in. When I woke up I found that he had given me a heart-attack! He had cut out hearts and wrote some nice things on them.

Since Kaitlyn was at the age where she can help me make things I thought it would be fun for her to make something for R. I showed her a few ideas and let her pick what one she wanted to do. So, while R was away at school, we worked on his little present. She handed me the hearts and told me where I should glue them. (I found this idea on one of my friends blog.)

Some of my Fav's

"We know not all that lies ahead of us. We live in a world of uncertainty. For some, there will be great accomplishment. For others, disappointment. For some, much of rejoicing and gladness, good health and gracious living. For others, perhaps sickness and a measure of sorrow. We do not know. But one thing we do know. Like a Polar Star in the heavens, regardless of what future holds, there stands the Redeemer of the world, the Son of God, certain and sure as the anchor of our immortal lives. He is the rock of our salvation, our strength, our comfort, the very focus of our faith. In sunshine and in shadow we look to Him, and He is there to assure and smile upon us."
-President Hinckley

"Do not allow yourself to be made to feel inadequate or frustrated because you cannot do everything others seem to be accomplishing. Rather, each should access her own situation, her own energy and her own talents, and then choose the best way to mold her family together and supports each other. Only you and your Father in Heaven know your needs, strengths and desires. Around this knowledge your personal course must be charted and your choices make."
-Marvin J. Ashton
