When in situations of stress we wonder if there is anymore to give. We can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed. No one was foreordained to fail. Let us remember that we were measured before and were found equal to our tasks. When we feel overwhelmed, let us recall the assurance that God will not over-program us; he will not press upon us more than we can bear.

Thanksgiving





This past week was so much fun! Todd's entire family was here to celebrate the holiday. It was busy and full of lots of laughs and eating. We were able to get some family pictures with everyone here, even though in a couple of weeks it will be outdated... that's fine. Lily wasn't a huge fan of the cold snow but she had a blast with her cousins and aunts and uncles. We are hardly going anywhere in the next few weeks because obviously I'm pretty much ready to pop... and not just because of all the food I ate :)

almost to 36 weeks!


I have definitely grown in the past few weeks! I have been feeling it but it's making me super excited! We only have about 4 weeks left until the due date! The rest of my appointments are going to be at MY house and after next week we're down to one appointment a week! Any bets of when we're gonna have this baby?! hehe I'm hoping mid-december... but we'll see! I'm trying not to get my heart set on a certain date.

St. George Temple



This past weekend, Todd was gone to a wedding in CA while Lily and I stayed home and tried to make it through without a daddy around! For a day or so we were in St. George at my brothers house and taking care of his two youngest, which by the way was a lot of fun. Friday Lily and I had a few hours to kill and decided to go walk around the temple for a little bit. We have a picture in Todd and my bedroom of us in front of the temple, as soon as we got there Lily points up and says "Mommy, Daddy kiss!" She totally knew where we were! It was really cool! She loved being there. It was fun to take her there and think about what that temple means for us and our family!
