NEVER EVER GIVE UP IN LIFE

This video is breathtaking. I think about how hard that would be, to train and train and train for so long for your race, and then to have something go wrong with your leg...how horrible! Would you finish the race, or lay down and quit?
I know that the Lord has helped Dalin at bootcamp. I know that He has been there to help him up and help him go, go, go every day. I am so thankful for a Father in Heaven who loves us so much and is so willing to help us if we just ask. It seems so simple, but is so hard to do sometimes.
Enjoy this little video, and remember to NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!

Motherhood: An Eternal Partnership with God

Being a mother is one of the best thing that has ever happened to me. Some days are hard, and other days are easy. It is those tough days that I question myself if I am being a good mother and question why it has to be so hard. I take a little breather and try to remind myself that I don't have to teach Taelin EVERYTHING in 1 day. I pray everyday that I am being the mother that Heavenly Father knows I can be. I know that with His help I can be the best mother to Taelin, and that is what gives me strength to carry one and keep going.
I cannot wait to have Dalin home again and have his help, even if it is only for 10 days. It's going be GREAT!
This video says it all though. Be ready to shed some tears. Yay for Mothers!!!!!

so soon!!

I AM SO EXCITED, BECAUSE IN 2 DAYS WE GET TO SEE DALIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TAELIN AND I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
