Well, the other day I spent half of an hour - or more - composing a really wonderful post...but in all of my excitement to get it posted, I deleted the whole thing. It was a terrible feeling. Especially since there was no one to blame but myself. Cyberspace was not to blame for my blunder. It was me, and me alone. So sad! I'm not even going to try to recreate what I wrote before. The moment is gone. So I'll just seize on this moment.
Life is good. Really, really good. I am the mom of a super good, cute, fun, easy-going little dude. I am married to the very best man - and, in my view, the manliest Foster despite Drew's somewhat shady win :). We live in a gorgeous area of the country that makes me feel close to heaven when I take a moment to look around and appreciate the beauty that is so abundant here. I am very blessed to be able to stay home and raise our son. We are in the process of buying our first home, which is very exciting and scary for us. More exciting than scary. We have callings that help us to reach out and teach others while learning and strengthening ourselves in the process.
I hope you all don't mind a little personal feeling here. I am extremely grateful for and to Heavenly Father. I am grateful for prayer and the personal connection I am able to feel with Him on a daily basis. I am grateful to know that He exists and that although there is heartache in the world, there will be a day of peace for those who are hurt and a day of reckoning for those who cause the hurt. A day of perfect justice and mercy. I know that He is real. I know that we will all see that for ourselves one day. I am so glad that He can be a part of my life in the meantime. I am thankful that He sent Max to our family. Max has changed our lives in many ways. What a special little man! I know that along with all of the care and concern that Tyler and I have for Max as his earthly parents, there are heavenly parents who have an even more perfect love and concern for his welfare. That's hard for me to imagine. I plan to live my life so that I can return to Him with my entire family...there to learn and work and live in His presence forever.
