Dear Mother...

Thank you. Thank you for all the kisses and band aides and sack lunches. For the years of giving me rides,  and help with homework, and advice. And for the numerous hours spent listening to me gripe about all sorts of things. Thank you for supporting me in all my crazy ideas, for letting me dream crazy dreams, and for showering me with loves. Thank you for hugs. For the countless doctor's appointments and sick days and all you did to make me feel better. Thank you for loving me at my lowest. And for teaching me what it means to have a testimony of the gospel. Thank you for your help with school projects, and for coming to all my sports events. Thank you for your example of how to be a good wife and mother. For teaching me what it means to love unconditionally, how to be selfless, and how to patient. Thank you for teaching me how to cook, how to sew, how to laugh, how to live, how to love. On this Mother's Day, I want to say thank you for all that you do for me and our family each and every day. Thank you for being my mom. Thank you for being you. I love you.

I Resolve To Continue

This is the time of year when we evaluate our lives. We look at the last 364 days and ponder on our struggles and our triumphs. We look at the person we have become over the last 12 months and we plan to do better in the coming 12. This is the time of year we are dedicated to making a change, and as I sit here thinking back to this time exactly 365 days ago, I am astounded at how far I have come. Almost ashamed of the person I was then and truly proud of the person I am now. For one of the first times in my life I can say that I can see myself becoming the person I want to become. In the last year I have felt sorrow and defeat and loneliness. I have faced struggles and heartache and frustrations. But I have also felt peace. I have felt joy and happiness and love. I set goals and I achieved them. I have had experiences that have taught me so many valuable lessons, and I have met people who have changed me forever. And I am so grateful. And so as we finish out this awfully beautiful year...

Why I Drove to Washington By Myself

Okay first things first....I went to WA to see my friend Liz. Look how cute she is! She got a grown up job and moved to the *cutest* little town in WA and I miss her, so I took a few days for myself and went on a trip to see her. Secondly, I want it to be known that I DID invite a friend to come with me. I have a good friend who I would have loved to have join me on the trip, but when he couldn't come I was sad but didn't bat an eye. Here are the reasons that I invited him: He is excellent company. He has a great taste in music. He is friends with Liz as well. I thought it would be fun if he came. The end that is all. I didn't invite him to make the trip cheaper, to help drive, or to make me feel safer. It would have been fun if he could have come, but either way I was going to go. I drove to Washington by myself because I could. Because I am saying YES. Because I am done waiting for "someday".  Someday when I have more money, or...
