We should not underestimate or overlook the power of the Lord’s tender mercies. The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live. When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that perhaps we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance (see 1 Ne. 1:20).
-Elder David A. BednarOf the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

No, I'm not dead........

I'm just living the simple life, the good life. My life is awesome it is just not very ? right now.
I can't figure out what word I want to put here.
First I was going to write the word exciting, but that is NOT the right word. My life is exciting. What wouldn't be exciting about watching these three little kids grow up? They are happy, they are crazy, they are fun and sweet and witty and loving and smart and excited for life all at the same time.
Then I thought something more vague like, blog worthy, but what does that mean? I love reading about every bodies day to day things it reminds me that we are all alike but unique.
Then the word entertaining came to mind but I'm sorry you can not live in thins house without being entertained if so you are just not right in the head.
Then because I'm not very smart I ran out of words. So there you have it my life is not very ? right now but I still love it.
I have been just enjoying the simple life. Getting little girls off to school, exercising, getting Gideon 'nacks' and putting movies on while I shower, playing with the boys (I have been tending my nephew Kade a lot) , getting Lizzy home from school, making lunch, putting boys down for naps, doing house work, getting ShiAnne home from school, getting snacks, arranging play time, making dinner, welcoming home my Sweetie, feeding dinner, doing home work and tucking in. It is the simple life but that is my life in a nut shell and I love it.

p.s. Plus I can't for the life of me remember to take any pictures. It is sad but true.
