so it has been quite a while since i have blogged. Life has been busy- and I seem to be in a perpetual bad mood! I have not been my cheerful self and my family and friends have suffered because of it. Sorry all! I talked to my doctor about it, and she says that it is almost definitely pregnancy related. My hormones are so much more out of whack with this one. But I have decided to look on the bright side- and try to focus on all the good things in my life.

Women's conference was such a good pick-me-up. I learned so much about becoming a better wife and mother, and about looking to my Savior for strength and learning to rely on Him. I had a great time with my mom and sisters- my camera's battery was dead, though so I don't have any pictures. It really inspired me to make my home and house of order and a sanctuary for my family. It is going to be a huge undertaking as right now we are pretty much just getting by- but I am starting to accept that the tone of the home is set by the mother, and that it is up to me- not anyone else- to make our home a place the spirit can reside.

I am so lucky to have the family and friends that I do. Life is good!
