Blessings

This morning I got a call from one of the YW Pres. in our ward asking me to come to YW and talk about the blessings of being a woman and mother. There are so many how can one choose right? Well I have to say lately getting any sort of quality sleep is a big blessing on my list. It seems like whenever I am pregnant I have these really vivid dreams which often wake me up at night and then I lie there trying to go back to sleep. Abby on the other hand is sleeping great and has now become a morning girl waking up between 6 and 7. I dream of the day when I will be able to sleep again I know it is a long time probably years away but I know someday I will return to sleeping through the night!!!
Ok totally old picture from the summer just dreaming of warm days.
Being a woman is totally amazing. I think that we have such a great role to play in the world and in our homes. It is so exciting to see all the different ways woman have progressed yet our most powerful moments still happen in our individual homes and families pretty profound.
Being a Mom is amazing. I can't even tell you how awesome it is. Having a new baby growing inside of you is also pretty amazing. Feeling it move the first time is always my favorite.
Two things happening in our home lately is I bought Abby big girl underwear and we are getting serious about the potty training business. I am looking forward to this challenge because it will give us something to focus on since going outside seems impossible with this weather.
The other thing is we got a Nintendo Wii which is super fun and keeps us having fun together instead of just turning on the tv after Abby has gone to bed.
I decided this year to base all my goals for the year on The Apostles talks from General Conference and have just finished reading all of the talks and am going to put my list together this weekend. I love setting goals and hopefully accomplishing them. Sometimes it is so easy to not set goals and just go throughout our days but I am determined to do it.
Well next time I write I will be 31 I can't even believe I am in my 30's already. Time sure flies when your life is such an adventure!!!
Here is something else I have been thinking of my garden. I always get excited to think about planting and weeding and I am not sure how it will go this year with two kids around but hopefully I will manage. I mean the pioneers did it so I should be able to handle it.
