Me


Me...

-I've decided that I am meant to have short hair.
-One of my goals this year is to become a more content mother, and I am already starting to see this goal come to pass. Most days, I really enjoy being home with my children.
-I find it very fun and fulfilling to find cute activities for Milly and cute Family Home Evenings.
-After almost six years of marriage, I still find my husband absolutely adorable and get excited to see him and be with him.
-I finally admitted to myself that my right leg is never going to look that normal again, so I just look forward to the Savior's coming when I will have a perfect body again.
-I am looking forward to being a tumbling instructor for 3-5 year olds. I start in March and feel very blessed for this opportunity.
-One of my favorite moments is when my house is clean and vacuumed, it's evening, the lamps are on, gospel music is playing in the back ground, and the kids are contently laughing and playing. It's one of those moments when life feels so good.
-I realized that I actually love to vacuum. I vacuum almost everyday. I think it's the sound; it drowns everything else out and I'm in my own little world. Plus, my kids think the vacuum is fun.
-I hate doing dishes. My whole house can be clean, and there the dishes sit in the sink, waiting... and waiting to be done. The other thing I hate to do is clean toilets! Tyler always gets stuck with cleaning the toilets and unloading the dishwasher. Toilets should be cleaned by guys, though. Hello!
-I will always and forever love dancing, singing, and playing the piano
-The more I learn, the more I realize that I don't know very much and that I have a long, long way to perfection.
-I love the gospel with all my heart and love all the resources that the Lord has given us to stay close to him.

I feel the exact same way about cleaning dishes and toilets! As a matter of fact, before we got married I made a deal with Jon that I would always take care of the laundry if he would always take care of the bathrooms. :)

You are a great mother and a great example to me. Always have been and I am certain you will continue to be. You are one of my most cherished friends.

P.S.- Your hair looks gorgeous and no leg flaws will take away from your beautiful face.

I used to hate cleaning toilets too, then I found an awesome trick and now my toilets are mostly shinny most of the time! go to the dollar store and buy dentures cleaner... every night before you go to bed put a dentures cleaner tablet (or 2) in your potty and in the morning swish swish and wa-la it will be clean!!! plus there are no harmful cleansers in denture tablets so you don't have to worry about your kiddies getting into it either... Leigha actually likes putting the tablets in, it's fun.... you can also use tang, but it makes the water orange for the night but it is clean in the morning (makes you wonder what you are drinking huh?)... anyways hope that helps, it has helped me a TON!!!!

Oh yeah and as for your leg... it may become one of your favorite things about you that makes you completely unique... you know how I used to freak out about my finger being stubby and ugly? well Don named it sister stubbs and now she is a family favorite and has a personality of her own... but i too look for the day when I can have fingernails and a whole finger again :)
