Perfection

    I love how perfect my children are.  Now that does not mean they don't make mistakes they are learning after all.  But honestly they are perfect.  They find joy and amusement in the littlest things.  They love so purely.  If someone wrongs them all it takes is a hug and all is forgiven.  It is no wonder God wants us to be like a little child.  And in our own way we are.  In this life we are learning and growing and trying to be like our father in heaven.  Some of us need a little more guidance and patience.  Some are just like an innocent child and will blindly and obediently follow God knowing he will not lead them astray. 

In someways I know I need further guidance and patience from God in others I know I am fine.  Though on my road to perfection I will stumble I will fall.  I will turn around and run the other way.  But in the end all I can hope for is that I will have made it far enough along the path and allow Jesus to make up to rest. 

Innocence

I love this picture it was his first time watching fireworks. He was so excited and had such joy on his face. It saddens me when I see this joy leave his face.  I love my children so much and they are so innocent.  To many times though I have been the cause of taking this away from them.  I let my own shortcomings sweep over me and I am left with a child wondering what they did wrong.  But then there are the times, which I hope out number the last.  Putting a smile on your child's face and seeing their eyes light up is so refreshing and meaningful.  I can think of nothing better in life than seeing someone you love filled with joy and happiness.  So imagine how it is for our Father in Heaven.  He is the perfect example of what and how to be.  He cries when we cry and rejoices when we rejoice.  I love that  thought.  I love my children and I love the innocence they have and bring. 

Our Beginnings

Ok so Richard and I meet November 2005 at a friends party they were throwing for their son.  He had just gotten out of a bad relationship, he was not looking to be nice to anyone of the female gender. Needless to say we did not hit it off.  I went up to Logan for school and Richard moved out to Tooele for work.  Right after Easter I got a call from my friend she said Richard wanted to ask me out.  My thought was WHY.  But figured at least I could get a free meal out of it all.  He called me that night and we talked for 3 hours.  Nice.  My thoughts about this guy was starting to change.  We set up a date for 3 weeks out to meet in Salt Lake City being middle meeting grounds.  We happened to talk everyday via messenger or phone.  I liked getting to know him. 

Well about 1 week before our date I went out with my roommates.  We had fun but one thing lead to another and I ended up with a car backing over my leg.  I was lucky and only dislocated my knee.  I called Richard to cancel, so I thought.  He had other plans.  Instead he came up to Logan and spent the weekend taking care of me.  Driving me around. Sitting playing games and watching movies together.  Well I was hooked from that point on.

On August 10th 2006 Richard took me out for a drive we went to a park got out to walk it started to rain.  So we got back in and drove up to Jordan River Temple.  There we went and sat by the fountain just admiring the view.  He at that time proposed.  It was so sweet.  Of course I said YES. 

We were married on December 16th 2006.  It was one of the best days of my life it was small and simple but those I loved where there.  March 17th 2007 we found out we were pregnant.  Joshua was born on November 11th 2007 such a blessing to out life. December 21st 2007, the three of us where sealed as an eternal family.  One of the most precious moments in my life is when the place Joshua on the alter with us and we were sealed as a family.  June 10th 2009 we were blessed again with the birth or our daughter Jorja.  Yes the spelling is different but we love it. 

We now live in an apartment in Taylorsville, UT.  Josh and Jorja grew everyday.  Life is good.
