Be there

These little knees just turned four months today. I love these little legs.

My friend Charlotte invited a bunch of old friends to meet at the park today for a get together and play date. I decided this is something I should do and I took my kids. While I was there I saw old friends all they way back to Elementary school all the way to high school. We stayed and played at the park for a while then a few of us went and got lunch with the kiddos. It was so much fun. The Peak of my day was realizing how blessed I have been to have such wonderful people in my life through out my life.

The Pit of my day goes with the above park story. It was very hard for me to get the kids and myself dressed and ready to go today for some reason. It may have something to do with the fact that Jacob and I had a disagreement that put me in a sour mood or my kids were just plan wild. Either way I just couldn't get them to get dressed and in the car. I finally lost it and kind of yelled at them. We ended up leaving late and I was driving around thinking I shouldn't go. I ended up calling Jacob and we had a really good conversation. We smoothed out everything between us and he said your day will get better. He said, "say a prayer right now and still go to the park." You can still have a good day.  I did just that. After I said my prayer I quickly remembered that I promised to find joy all week. So I decided to do just that, be happy no matter what. 

Now this whole post as been a I never want to forget post. I never want to forget the great friends I have been blessed with my whole life, I never want to forget how wonderful my husband is and how much he helps me. I never want to forget that my prayers are always answered, and I never want to forget that I can always find joy. However I still have one more I would like to add. I visit teach one of my favorite people in the ward. Her name is Lisa Hatrup. We went to dinner last night and had a wonderful time. I love talking to her. She is so honest, she is so smart, and she is kind. We had wonderful conversations about a lot of different thing. One thing Lisa said to me was that sometimes it's hard for her because she is divorced and sometimes she feel like she is fighting battles on her own. Now Lisa is never alone. I know that and she knows that, but she is right. It is harder when you spouse isn't there. With this thought I never want to forget to always be there for Lisa and anyone else for that matter.
