A journal if that's what you want to call it...

I am terrible at writing in a journal. My hubby keeps a journal and writes in it weekly. He gives me a bad time telling me that our kids won't know anything about me. I guess if they looked on facebook they'd know a LOT about me. Probably time that I at least blog (if that's what this is called) to share my thoughts, etc. about life. I don't even know where to start. I am deeply touched these last couple of months by a very spiritually strong family. The death of their daughter and their attitude toward that have helped my testimony grown stronger. I believe that there is life after death, I believe that ALL can be forgiven, I believe that through living righteously I will see my Father in Heaven again someday. I wish that I could go to church daily just to be uplifted spiritually and not lose sight of what matters most. I get SO caught up in my life and the world. I don't spend enough time pondering, praying, serving, etc. I won't beat myself up over it though. I will only try harder each and every day to be better than the day before. Life is tough and it IS what you make it. I am proud to be the mother of 5 beautiful children here on earth and the mother of a very special angel in Heaven. I spend much of my time sitting and rocking to decompress. It's my way of staying sane. I spend 21 hours a week teaching preschool and LOVE it! I love taking my kids to activities and am grateful that there are not too many of those activities or I'd need a straight jacket. I only hope that I am raising my children to be honest, kind, caring, loving, driven, ambitious, and so on. I want them to leave this home someday with all the power they need to face this wicked world. My hubby is my rock! He is patient, kind, loving, sweet, smart, and handsome! I am SO grateful for his knowledge of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He has helped me understand SO much! He is truly amazing!
