Christmas Day 2011

What can I say I love Christmas! I love that it fell on a Sunday this year! I absolutely love being about to take the sacrament and sing hymns of praise on this beautiful day. I feel incredibly blessed and overcome with gratitude for the blessing that is my life. 12 years ago I met and feel in love with someone that would bring more into my life than I could ever have foreseen! I have such beautiful children because of that meeting!

My life would not be complete without each and every one of them. I am grateful for each of their personalities and the joy that they individually bring to both Craig and I. I am grateful for the gospel in my life and the knowledge that it gives me that I will always and forever have this family, we will all be together forever. I am grateful for the atonement that always me forgiveness for my shortcomings and faults and grants me the strength to overcome and be a better person each day.

This past year was not without it’s challenges, but I would not rewind the clock because those challenges are what helps to clear my vision and allow me to see what is clearly in front of me! Joy is in the journey!!!!
