A mintue to breath....

I skipped a few days but made sure I got back on the bandwagon, try, try, try again. Some days it is hard to find a minute to myself and minute to breath, as the blog is entitled. But, I love being a mother, I love that they keep me on my toes, I love that they keep me moving and busy! I love that its 3:00 and I am just now getting to sit down and eat my lunch, it's OK, it's the season of life I am in. One day this season will come to an end and I will miss it of that I am sure. I just got back from a really great weekend get away with my old friends from high school. It was so refreshing to get a way from it all and reconnect with all of those girls. They meant a lot to me them and they me alot to me now. We spent the weekend doing nothing, just laughing are butts off and hanging out around the pool. God was and always has been good to me in the friend department. He has always surrounded me with caring, giving, strong friends, for that I am deeply grateful. It was nice to see them all grown-up, all mothers and wives they are great examples to me.

On another subject the other day I read an article out of the Ensign about strengthening our marriages. I forget all to often to water that garden, to put it first. I need to try harder to be better at putting Kevin's wants and needs above the kids, above my own. He is a great man and a hard worker. He loves me, he reminds me daily how beautiful he thinks I am. He always so affection towards me, kisses and hugs. I can not say the same for myself. I get caught up in the daily tasks of life, focuses on the things I need to accomplish. I get frustrated with him and forget to FORGET about the small things. One day they will be the things I miss about him. The things I wished I would have not made a big deal about. He his my example I need to be more like him. For a long time I couldn't forgive, I held on to things I shouldn't of. I was not in the least bit being Christ-Like. I have since seen the error of my ways and tried to let go, not to say I don't have my days. Days where I remember in detail the pain, days I don't trust, days that aren't so good. But, I try to say a prayer on those DAYS that the Lord will forgive me, forgive him, that I can try harder to be more like my Savior and forgive. Because, I love that man he is as his father said, " The Ying to my Yang." I need to show him that this day and every day.
