It was very nice to have Spencer home for a couple weeks during Christmas break. Now he is back to school and so am I. I know--I think I'm crazy too, but I'm only taking a couple of online classes through Utah State and it helps to be able to do my homework and stuff while the kids nap or at night when they go to bed. So, I guess I'm an Aggie now too. Life is crazily busy as usual but I'm starting to get the hang of having two kids. We still have good days and bad days but time is flying by so I'm trying to enjoy every moment. I LOVE President Monson's talk from October Conference--"Finding Joy in the Journey." I'm trying to take his advice:
"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly.
Stresses in our lives come regardless of our circumstances. We must deal with them the best we can. But we should not let them get in the way of what is most important—and what is most important almost always involves the people around us. Often we assume that they must know how much we love them. But we should never assume; we should let them know. Wrote William Shakespeare, “They do not love that do not show their love.” We will never regret the kind words spoken or the affection shown. Rather, our regrets will come if such things are omitted from our relationships with those who mean the most to us."
We try to get sleep whenever and wherever we can
