"A house does not have to be perfect to be a home of joy, a child does not have to behave perfectly to love and be loved, and every moment of life does not have to be perfect to be of value. Too often, I realize, we fail to see the glorious reality of the simple joy that abounds in the seemingly mundane routine of day-to-day living. Instead, we tend to idolize the past, idealize the future, and devalue the present.... What better way to show our appreciation to Heavenly Father for what we have than to embrace our lives, albeit 'ordinary' and 'unexciting,' with joy?"

29 Years Old and 22 Weeks Pregnant

As usual, I'm behind in what I'd like to blog about! We've been having a great summer and it has proven hard to keep up with! Instead of trying to play catch-up, I'll just go with what is current... We returned to Idaho last Friday for another mini-vacation. We had fun visiting with my grandparents, exploring the area more and just relaxing! Saturday marked my 'First Annual 29th Birthday.' We celebrated with a yummy steak dinner and homemade carrot cake! Have I mentioned how much my grandparents spoil us while we're there?! I had a great birthday- relaxing, in the company of family, and it also marked the start of my 22nd week of pregnancy!
