"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

Just a few thoughts..

I am now 31 weeks pregnant!! Wow this has gone by so fast for me. I don’t know if I am ready…I am scared!!

I am getting down to the last few weeks of dance competitions and recitals for the girls, this is a relief for me. I have enjoyed watching them and they have had a wonderful year and have learned so much. It has stressed me out knowing I have to travel for their competitions so far into my pregnancy. I guess I am just getting tired. I keep reminding myself that we are almost done!!

Only 5 more weeks of school left for the kids…so excited to have them home for the summer.

I am so far behind on my blogging, I haven’t even finished Easter and Kenna had a birthday and I am always on top of their birthday posts and I am now very behind. I hate getting behind. So much going on lately just no time or energy I guess, hopefully someday soon.

I can’t believe my sweet Kenna turned 5, where did the time go, I sure love that girl. I had a friend birthday party for her this year and she was so happy and had so much fun, it was the best!!

Feeling weighed down, trying to get up and keep moving, I just don’t know how.

I think life is hard enough and it kills me that people can be so mean.

I have had way too many contractions lately, very painful, I get myself all worked up and I need to find a way to relax…if only!!!

Some days don't you just need a great big hug..I know I sure do.

So grateful for family and friends who are always there no matter what…gosh what would I do without them.

When you are going through difficulty and wonder where God is, remember the teacher is always quiet during the test!! (I love this)

Did you ever want something so bad that you would do anything for it?? I know I do but it’s something I can’t just get or have it given to me…one of those hard things I guess I will hope that someday the Lord might see that I am worth it and that I have done my part in getting it.

I sure love it when the sun shines, it makes my whole day!!

I am thankful for good days when things seem calm.

I never forget my prayers, I think they keep me going forward instead of backward, does Heavenly Father ever get sick of me begging him for help??

I love being a Mom, but being the Mom to a two year old is just the best!! Jaxon always keeps me going and smiling.

Looking forward to my Doctor appointment on Monday I have lots of questions.

I am going to bed now and I will have more thoughts tomorrow I am sure of it, there are always so many.

I love your post! Sometimes you just need to spill out your feelings. I hope you are doing ok. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Don't try to look to far into the future, that will take care of itself, just take care of today.
