Growing

Paisley is growing so quickly it's hard to believe. I have all of these things that go through my mind as I think about the life I want for her. Will she recognize early on her divine worth? Will she fall in love with a man who recognizes it too? Will she repeat my mistakes?
This week has really been interesting and without going into detail I can say that I am constantly reminded that our Heavenly Father loves us, knows us each individually and wants us to be happy. Each time I put my trust in him things just work out :D

This last week I was able to talk to both Amber and Angelica "Gel" and it was really nice although my conversation with Gel was first interrupted by Paisley and then when it was continued it was interrupted a bit later by a call I had to take, so we'll have to try again Gel. I am learning how important it is to keep in touch, we all have so much to learn from each other and I really do enjoy my sister in laws, I still haven't called Mitzi, but I will at some point, I think it's because we live within a few miles (50) and I do get to see her fairly often when we go to Grants Pass.

I also want to get better at calling my Foutz SIL's it's on my "list". I am just learning how to manage my time with Paisley and take advantage of those moments I do have to connect with people that I love.

I am blessed because all in all our little Paisley is a joy and usually pretty happy! I've got some happy pictures of her today...she sure makes me want to be my best self. She's discovered her hands and loves to suck on them!




Oh and as a side note, I've been seriously thinking about writing a book. I know RANDOM, but really it's crossed my mind for many years now so sometime in the next few months I am hoping to figure out what topic I'd like to write on and put a few things down on the computer and start that project :) So far I am thinking something along the lines of being comfortable in your own skin....I know as if that hasn't been covered and anyone reading this might also think I'm a terrible person to write on that topic, but what can I say...no really what can I say ? :)

Those are my thoughts for today...

She is so gorgeous! What a great smile! Good luck with your book. I've often thought about writing...mostly for children probably. I always say someday...
And then I think about that line from "The Music Man": If you stack up enough tomorrow's, all you're left with is a bunch of empty yesterdays.
Here's to NO MORE EMPTY YESTERDAYS!!
